During the spring and summer of 2021, global news reports were filled with the impending US/NATO withdrawal from Afghanistan. At best, it would be viewed as a stalemate, with an orderly transition to a stable, US-backed Afghan government. At worse, it would be looked upon as two decades of futile war, ending with a shameful retreat that left the county at the mercy of a ruthless Taliban regime. What went wrong?

This book reveals how China has used the US-led Global War on Terror as cover for its increasingly brutal suppression of the Uyghur people. China’s actions, it argues, have emboldened states around the globe to persecute ethnic minorities and severely repress domestic opposition in the name of combatting terrorism. Within weeks of the September 11 attacks on New York and Washington, the Chinese government announced that it faced a serious terrorist threat from its largely Muslim Uyghur ethnic minority.

The focus of the United States during the Cold War was to prevent the spread of communism. The soldiers who served then were the wall that protected the world from that threat. None were in harm's way more than those who patrolled inside the DMZ in Korea. This book covers the history for the years following the "Second Korean War". No longer an official combat zone, it was still one of the most dangerous places in the world. This book documents the history of the DMZ from the perspective of the soldiers who were actually there, facing that threat each day.

In un viaggio in Giappone, tra le attività più amate vi è quella di prendere parte a riti e cerimonie suggestive tra antichi santuari, templi e pagode. Tuttavia, solo pochissimi visitatori conoscono la reale mitologia su cui si basa il complesso di riti e celebrazioni a cui prendono parte. Si tratta di una delle mitologie più singolari ed affascinanti del pianeta, caratterizzata da innumerevoli leggende e storie di divinità, eroi, demoni, spiriti e mostri che narrano una visione del cosmo e della vita in modo inedito, soprattutto se paragonato alla visione occidentale.

The history of the Western Han dynasty reveals a time of magnificence for China: A time when the country expanded its territory, perfected the weaving of silk to such an extent that a trade route extending from China all the way to Rome would take its name from that prized export, and capitalized upon the technological advances within its country to witness an agricultural revolution that predated Europe’s farming innovations by hundreds of years.

22 December 1949: A conspiracy that began with the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi culminated in the execution of the Ayodhya strategy. Late that night, a little-known sadhu, Abhiram Das, and his followers entered the Babri Masjid and planted an idol of Rama inside it. While it is known that the Hindu Mahasabha had a role in placing the idol in the mosque, the larger plot and the chain of events that led to that act have never been subject to rigorous scrutiny. Krishna Jha and Dhirendra K. Jha bring together the disparate threads of the buried narrative for the first time.

May 2021 - This is a subject that is much larger than most people probably think. Infiltration and information collection efforts by thousands of agents of the intelligence services of the Communist People’s Republic of China (PRC) in the US is a huge problem, and most Americans are unaware of their agenda, and the consequences of this occupation. I included what I believe are two possible locations for a new Chinese Navy Submarine Base to be located in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Africa, and the new Airbase in the South Pacific.
