This is a story that starts off close and goes very big. The initial part of the story might sound familiar at first: it is about a platoon of mostly 19-year-old boys sent to Afghanistan, and an experience that ends abruptly in catastrophe. Their part of the story folds into the next: inexorably linked to those soldiers and never comprehensively reported before is the US Department of Defense’s quest to build the world’s most powerful biometrics database, with the ability to identify, monitor, catalog, and police people all over the world.

By 1943, the war was lost, and most German officers knew it. What kept the German army going in an increasingly hopeless situation? Where some historians have found explanations in the power of Hitler or the role of ideology, Robert M. Citino, the world's leading scholar on the subject, posits a more straightforward solution: Bewegungskrieg, the way of war cultivated by the Germans over the course of history. In this book, Citino charts the path by which Bewegungskrieg, or a "war of movement," inexorably led to Nazi Germany's defeat.

At age 25, Michael Hastings arrived in Baghdad to cover the war in Iraq for Newsweek. He had at his disposal a little Hemingway romanticism and all the apparatus of a 21st-century reporter: cell phones, high-speed Internet access, digital video cameras, fixers, drivers, guards, and translators.

In Israel and the West, it is called the Six Day War. In the Arab world, it is known as the June War or, simply, as "the Setback". Never has a conflict so short, unforeseen, and largely unwanted by both sides so transformed the world. The Yom Kippur War, the war in Lebanon, the Camp David accords, the controversy over Jerusalem and Jewish settlements in the West Bank, the intifada, and the rise of Palestinian terror are all part of the outcome of those six days.

Are there hidden Scriptures locked away in secret underground vaults, kept from the public? What would Christian sacred texts look like if they were written and revealed today? And if such writings existed, how would you receive them? Scholars and religious authorities assure us that the Scriptural canon is closed. Yet, the more we scrutinize, the more we are left to question the veracity of this stance. What if other Scriptures remain hidden or unfound, perhaps written for a time such as this? What would they read like? What would they reveal? How would they be received? Chronicles of the ...

What if the political divide you’ve been told about is a distraction? What if the left–right spectrum is a smokescreen, concealing a deeper, shared architecture of control? In this groundbreaking and provocative book, M. Abdelwahid unravels the two dominant ideologies that have shaped the modern world: neoliberalism, with its gospel of markets, deregulation, and privatized life, and neoconservatism, with its obsession with moral order, national identity, and cultural discipline.
