In "The Race for Wealth," a historical masterpiece that integrates military, technology, and society, William McNeil is committed to exploring the ups and downs of mankind in the past millennium, and tracing our original development path, allowing us to see clearly how the world has step by step reached the terrible dilemma we have to face today. This book first starts with the use of bronze weapons and armor in Mesopotamia around 3500 BC, and then talks about the changes in weapons in 1800 BC and the emergence of professional armies in 1000 BC. Then it is divided into ten chapters and focuses on describing the industrial progress, weapons manufacturing, government management, and social order evolution of the world's major countries in the East and West after 1000 AD, the improvement of European war business and war skills, the pressure brought by violent bureaucratization, the impact of the French political revolution and the British Industrial Revolution on the military, and a brief introduction to the world wars of the 20th century, especially the U. S.-Soviet arms race and planned economy since 1945. The core argument of this book is that the worldwide commercial transformation that began in the 11th century resulted in military operations becoming increasingly subject to the dictates of market forces and the dictates of rulers. McNeil believes that it is only in our era that planned economies began to replace the manipulation of large-scale human activities by market forces. This book directly confronts the major issues facing the world since 1000 AD. The discoveries, hypotheses and extensive knowledge contained in it are enough to make readers re-examine our era and provide us with solid evidence for wiser decisions in the future.

Evelyn Waugh is known as the best British satirical novelist of the 20th century and is recognized as one of the most outstanding stylists of the 20th century. "Evil Flesh" is Waugh's first successful work and one of his most important masterpieces. After the First World War, a new generation of young people emerged in the British upper class. Underneath the surface glamor was darkness and fragility. They were the "coquettish teenagers" who represented the glitz and despair of the 1920s. They are both naive and worldly, and they tirelessly devote their restless minds and evil bodies to capricious misdeeds, seeking endless sensory stimulation and desire satisfaction like drinking poison to quench their thirst, but their desires are far from being filled.
