In the early morning of December 7, 1941, Honolulu residents who were accustomed to military exercises woke up to the noisy sound of artillery fire as usual. They did not realize that a magnificent symphony that staked the fate of the country had already been played... The arrogant Japan declared an undeclared war on the United States. The two giant ships of Pearl Harbor soared into flames, and the unsinkable legend disappeared into the towering black smoke. The Japanese army then became overwhelming. The overwhelming sun flag became the messenger of death on the vast ocean, and the Japanese soldiers were regarded as monsters by their opponents, leaving behind the myth of invincibility. However, the Japanese army's "Victory Disease" gave the US military an opportunity. The Japanese fleet tried to lure the main force of the U. S. Military into a trap and annihilate it in one fell swoop, completely unaware that the movement had been grasped by the U. S. Military. In the end, all the participating aircraft carriers were buried at the bottom of the sea at Midway Island, and the strategic initiative was handed over to others. From Pearl Harbor to Midway, unprecedented fierce naval battles shook the foundations of the participating nations. The battle situation in these six months not only determined the direction of the Pacific War, but also affected the entire situation of World War II. If the balance of history moves even a little bit, the world we know will be completely different. "The Burning Ocean" writes about the gripping initial stage of the Pacific War. From it, we can not only appreciate the strategizing behind Roosevelt and Churchill's chatting and laughing, Yamamoto Isoroku's arrogant gamble, but also the despair of the pilots who narrowly escaped death when faced with the relics of their fallen comrades, and the despair of the fleet commander when he received unfavorable information just after issuing an order. When we rise and fall with the characters in the book, history is no longer out of reach.

During the Stone Age, early Homo sapiens developed most of our current ideas. Entering the agricultural age, we experienced the development of social organization concepts, followed by the evolution from chiefs to kings. Intellectuals appeared, wrote texts, formulated laws, deified kingship, and established work ethics and family concepts. Humanity entered the Axial Age and ushered in Moses, Zoroaster, Confucius and the ancient Greek sages. They not only provided the concept of creation, but also the concept of redemption and the concept of fraternity. Their influence widely affected the body and spirit, the country and the church, politics and religion. These ideas foreshadowed the way we think now and have dominated our thoughts and feelings for 1,400 years. After the Age of Faith, the Renaissance, the Reformation and the Scientific Revolution followed, discovering the world and also discovering human nature. The 18th century was an era of enlightenment. In the 19th century, nationalism, militarism, advocating violence, racial origin, scientific supremacy, historical inevitability, and worship of the country became popular. For human civilization, thought is the real protagonist. Thought is not only the key ability for human advancement, but also the main driving force for changes in human lifestyles and historical evolution. For modern people, the basic ideological tools we rely on to live today have been developed over the course of tens of thousands of years. If we are to truly understand human history and ourselves, we must confront the evolution of ideas and the value of ideas. This 200,000-year history of human thought from a broad historical perspective will lead you to appreciate the full picture of human knowledge, re-understand society, and understand ourselves.

It also discusses many "Eastern issues" related to the interconnected issues between Turkey and Cyprus, traces the theoretical research and practical summary of European integration from the Enlightenment to the present, and looks forward to the future prospects of the European Union. "The Genealogy of Absolutist Countries" introduces the absolutist countries in Eastern and Western Europe: Spain, France, Prussia, Poland, etc., And attempts to reveal their different roles in the process of transformation to capitalism through a comparative study of the nature and development of absolutist countries in Europe. In the author's view, absolutism is a uniquely European phenomenon and is essentially still based on the aristocratic form of political power. However, capitalism in Western and Eastern European countries each has different historical characteristics and development trajectories, which lead to different development results. "The Transition from Antiquity to Feudalism" covers the evolution of European production methods, social structures and state forms in the long historical period from the formation of the ancient Greek slave state in the 8th century BC to the crisis of European feudalism in the 15th century AD.

For tens of thousands of years, war has been regarded as a nightmare for mankind. It can turn rich fields into barren land in an instant, and it can also overthrow a prosperous empire in an instant. Wherever the war passes, panic, poverty and death follow. In this book, the author uses objective academic research and subversive thinking to show us the unpleasant but undeniable fact: in the long run, although war brings death and blood, it makes mankind safer and more prosperous. This book combines history, archeology, anthropology, geography, evolutionary biology, as well as technology and military knowledge to trace the 15,000 years of struggle and violence from apes to the birth of robots. The author sharply pointed out that in the Stone Age, 10% of people might die from violence; but in the 20th century, despite the outbreak of two world wars and the invention of nuclear weapons capable of destroying the earth's ecology, the violent death rate has dropped by 90%. The Leviathan-style large centralized state created by the war gave the world a chance to develop and prosper in a longer period of peace. The author's research on 15,000 years of human war history shows that the next half century will be the most dangerous period in human history. If we can get through this phase, then the age-old dream of ending war may become a reality. This book will undoubtedly forever change the way we view war and our choices for dealing with conflicts in the future. Both those who view war as a disaster and those who are involved in the cause of peace should read this book.
