In 1916, Gorky published "In the World" in "Chronicle" magazine. The story describes that after the death of his mother, his bankrupt grandfather drove Alyosha out of the house. He joined society and came to the so-called "human world". In order to survive, Alyosha worked everywhere to make a living, working as a draftsman's apprentice, a dishwasher on a ship, and an apprentice in an icon workshop. He came into contact with all kinds of people at the bottom of society. During his difficult life, he read all the books he could find, hoping to find answers to life from books. Not only did he gain comfort and inspiration, but he also realized that books are a powerful ideological weapon for a better future. Facing complex social problems, he was troubled and hesitant, and wanted to rely on knowledge and science to get out of the predicament, so he left his hometown and went to Kazan.

During World War II, a small group of utopian air force strategists known as the "Bomber Mafia" attempted to win the war through precision bombing. After fully studying a new technological device, the Norden bombsight, they determined that daylight bombing targeting only specific critical enemy infrastructure would work. However, things went against expectations. After several failed operations, the war situation got out of control. Subsequently, the top military officials ordered a replacement of commanders. The new commander, Le Mei, implemented a regional bombing strategy that was completely opposite to that of the previous commander Hansel. With the help of napalm bombs, Le Mei bombed a total of 67 cities in Japan. However, due to the heavy casualties caused by the bombing, Le Mei's behavior caused great controversy. This is a story about idealism, pragmatism, technological innovation and the immeasurable cost of war. In the book, Gladwell affirmed LeMay's contribution. Although the method was crude, it shortened the duration of the war. To a certain extent, it could be said to have avoided greater costs and allowed everyone to regain peace and prosperity more quickly. Although the "Bomber Mafia" represented by Hansel was not successful, Gladwell spent a lot of space describing and praising its persistence in dreams, innovation and technology, treating it as a moral model. Without persistence, principles are meaningless. Hansel is a typical Quixotic character. His actions vividly show readers how good intentions can backfire. What Gladwell raises is a philosophical issue of moral judgment and factual judgment, which tests morality and human nature.

In this book, Professor Paul Kennedy has begun to use the research methods he later used in his book "The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers". He combines historical narrative with strategic analysis to provide an innovative explanation of the rise and fall of British maritime hegemony. He believed that Britain's acquisition of world hegemony not only relied on sea power, but also relied on the combination of sea power and land power. This was the case both in the Elizabethan era and in the Napoleonic era. . He also viewed sea power more rationally, believing that after entering the 20th century, the importance of sea power has begun to decline. Only countries with both land and sea power can become a new generation of hegemonic countries. No country that once held world hegemony can retain its hegemony forever. The sun never sets on an empire that has long since set. But looking back at the ups and downs of British maritime hegemony over more than 400 years may help us gain insight into the accelerated evolution of the current world structure!

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.
