Was the Civil War really about slavery? Or was it a war fought over money? Civil War historian Samuel W. Mitcham Jr., (Vicksburg, Bust Hell Wide Open) opens his fascinating new book, It Wasn't About Slavery, with Dr. Grady McWhiney's claim that "what passes as standard American history is really Yankee history written by New Englanders or their puppets to glorify Yankee heroes and ideals".

Very interesting.

I like that many specific examples are given. I ordered the paperback to have access to the References. One thing I believe that was missing in describing details leading up to the beginning of the war was not mentioning the seizure of Fort Caswell on Oak Island. while not as consequential as Fort Sumter it goes entirely overlooked in the historical narrative.

Why we think it’s a great listen: Seabiscuit was a runaway success, and Hillenbrand’s done it again with another true-life account about beating unbelievable odds. On a May afternoon in 1943, an Army Air Forces bomber crashed into the Pacific Ocean and disappeared, leaving only a spray of debris and a slick of oil, gasoline, and blood. Then, on the ocean surface, a face appeared....

This is the best biography I have listened to since that of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Maybe even better. I think it's my new favorite! I give this great book 5 out of 5 stars.

If you are a fan of IWar, Lights Out, One Second After, the 299 Days series or Tom Clancy novels, you will love this series and if you have gotten this far you probably have. This series really should be a movie series. In light of what happened to the remake of Red Dawn and the villain being changed from China to North Korea which destroyed suspension of disbelif, there is definitely a place in the market for this kind of movie. Never Again is now and it is happening in China. May the people of Hong Kong, Muslims in western China and all of the Chinese people one day receive the freedom and prosperity that they desire and deserve and May catastrophe and devastation in this series never be experienced in any of these United States.

Blackout Wars is about the historically unprecedented threat to our electronic civilization from its dependence on the electric power grid. In a nationwide blackout lasting months or years, the entire population of the US could be at risk. There would be no food. No water. Communications, transportation, industry, business, and finance - all of the critical infrastructures that support modern civilization would be paralyzed. Threats to the electric power grid are posed by cyber-attack, sabotage, a geomagnetic super-storm, and electromagnetic pulse (EMP) from the high-altitude detonation of a nuclear weapon.

The Theft of a Decade is a contrarian, revelatory analysis of how one generation pulled the rug out from under another and the myriad consequences that has set in store for all of us. The millennial generation was the unfortunate victim of several generations of economic theories that made life harder for them than it was for their grandparents. Then came the crash of 2008, and the boomer generation's reaction to it was brutal: politicians and policymakers made deliberate decisions that favored the interests of the boomer generation over their heirs.

A Necessary Read
Revisado: 07-12-19
This is a necessary read for Boomers and Millennials alike. It is especially necessary for anybody who votes and cares about implications on Millennials and gen Z of policies enacted in the past and being proposed in the future. Buy a few copies and hand them out.

America is at war, but most of its citizens don't know it. Covert information warfare is being waged by world powers, rogue states - such as Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea - and even terrorist groups like ISIS. This conflict has been designed to defeat and ultimately destroy the United States. This new type of warfare is part of the Information Age that has come to dominate our lives.

Unrivaled in it's US cyber warfare assessment
Revisado: 01-06-17
This book is an unmatched survey of the current state of us cyber war affairs as well as the last 8 years of the Obama administration. The author also lays out a detailed plan for how to rebuild the cyber warfare capabilities of the United States to combat current and future threats. wow I do not agree wholeheartedly with every step of his plan or even some of this conclusions the well laid out argument on which he bases them is second to none.
