In the face of new weapons - machine guns and powerful artillery - the dominant traditional military thinking - frontal attack, charge and fight, and repel the enemy's defense line - became ineffective. The Western Front achieved nothing except a life-consuming battle, and the war reached a stalemate. The British invented tanks and used smoke screens, making only limited progress. The British Navy had control of the sea, but its commander was conservative in thinking and ineffective in naval warfare, so no positive results were achieved. In this volume, Churchill made the strategic decision to attack the Dardanelles, which had a decisive impact on the combination of international forces and the entire war. However, due to the lack of understanding and weak support from most military leaders, the war opportunities were repeatedly delayed, and good opportunities to secure victory were missed more than ten times, and finally ended in failure.

It writes the historical process of this legendary country in a magnificent way: how this once closed island country gradually turned into an empire with territories all over the world through religious reform, parliamentary system, technological and ideological revolution, as well as trade and colonial expansion; and how it repositioned itself in the new post-war order as the empire declined today and continued to influence the world.

This book selects 36 polemical essays from Friedrich Nietzsche's many important works. The book opens with three classic articles by Nietzsche discussing educational issues: "On the Future of Our Educational Institutions", "Humanistic Education Begins with Strict Language Training" and "Three Measures of University Education". The rest of the book contains 33 exquisite expositions selected from important works such as "Thus Spoke Zarathustra", "Twilight of the Idols" and "Look, This Man". In the process of criticizing Christianity, Nietzsche focused on criticizing "pity". Nietzsche believes that great acts of kindness will not make people grateful, but will lead to revenge; if this small favor has not been forgotten, it will become a worm that is always gnawing; loving one's neighbor is a pathological good and the morality of the weak; the kindness of the strong should inspire people's unique personality of self-respect and self-improvement, and promote "healthy selfishness" in people. And "healthy selfishness" is the clean selfishness that overflows from the powerful soul. It takes all things into itself and then makes them ebb from the individual soul as a gift of love. Therefore, Nietzsche advocates that human beings should love distant people, love people in the future, love the beginning, and love ghosts.

Bachelard has always permeated the artistic conception of dreams and poetry into his thoughts. In this book, he further introduces phenomenological methods into imagination and poetics. He emphasized the epistemological value of imagination and images, believing that they open up the future: any awareness of consciousness is an increase in consciousness, an increase in light, and an enhancement of psychological coherence. Bachelard used the results of contemporary psychoanalysis in his research. However, his thoughts were closer to Jung's depth psychology. In order to deeply explore the human soul, he entered the distant childhood of human beings, that is, the era when sensibility and rationality were unified long before the emergence of science. He pondered alchemy and little-known aspects of ancient philosophical thought: such as the doctrine of the duality of yin and yang, and the material imagination of the basic elements of the universe: water, fire, air and earth. Bachelard's feminine and masculine "anima" and "animus" guide us to appreciate the poetics of dreams with endless charm.

During this period, although the British people were isolated and helpless, they always held on to the fortress and tenaciously resisted the air attacks of German aircraft day and night.

In the book, the author, as a decision-maker, provides a comprehensive description of the little-known inside information during the development of the war, especially the two major events that occurred during this period, namely the Dunkirk evacuation of the British and French coalition forces and the Oran incident of the British and French navies.

Giulio Douhet of Italy, William Mitchell of the United States and Hugh Trenchard of the United Kingdom are three famous thinkers.

"On National Defense in the Air", also known as "Winged National Defense", is the main work on air power. As an outstanding strategist, Mitchell believes that aviation has promoted a revolution in combat methods; the air force is the decisive force in future wars; it is necessary to establish three major arms: destroyer aviation, bombing aviation, and assault aviation; because the air force can penetrate deep into the enemy's hinterland and destroy the enemy's power in a short time, once it gains air supremacy, there will be no more long-term wars that sacrifice millions of lives; an air defense system consisting of listening stations, interceptors, searchlights, and anti-aircraft artillery must be established to defend the homeland with the power of the air force.

In French biographical literature, Rousseau left three works that will be passed down to future generations: "Confessions", "Dialogues" and "Dream of a Lonely Walker"; three works, three genres, and three styles of writing; if "Confessions" is a chronicle and "Dialogues" is a psychological analysis novel, then the last "Dream" is a prose poem. When writing this work, Rousseau was already in his twilight years. He had completely given up the futile efforts of dealing with the enemy and fighting against fate, and resigned himself to everything. Therefore, he was in a comfortable and leisurely mood. Writing the article was like walking and chanting, and he wrote ten "Walks" into ten beautiful prose poems. In terms of nature, these ten articles are literary works, but in terms of content, they are indispensable books for studying Rousseau's life behavior and ideological development trajectory.

In early 1945, the author was incorporated into the Navy. First in the Mariana Islands, then living with boys flying B-29s over Japan, Pyle experienced a side of the war that was new to him. Next he joined an aircraft carrier invading Okinawa. He landed with the Marines and saw Okinawa captured. On April 17, 1945, a Japanese bullet killed Pyle on Ie Island, and Americans lost their greatest and most popular journalist.

In June 1944, nearly three million Allied troops landed in Normandy, successfully opening the second battlefield in Europe; in September, although Operation Market Garden, a planned air landing on the Arnhem Bridge, failed, the German army on the Western Front had gradually fallen into despair. On December 16, Hitler launched his "last ditch effort" - concentrating his forces to launch a counterattack in the Ardennes region at the junction of Belgium, Germany, and Luxembourg, in order to seize Antwerp, the main Allied supply port, and attempt to create a second "Dunkirk retreat." The Allied forces, who mistakenly believed that the German army was no longer able to launch a strategic offensive, were caught off guard. Some soldiers were defeated by the German offensive, fled or surrendered, but more soldiers stood bravely and resisted tenaciously, delaying the German attack. Driven by despair and revenge, coupled with the harsh winter climate, the Ardennes Campaign was as brutal as the Battle of Stalingrad on the Eastern Front. Both the Allied and German forces suffered nearly 100,000 casualties in this battle. Anthony Beaver, a famous British military historian, described in great detail this tragic battle that ultimately crushed the German Wehrmacht in terms of days.

The book completely reproduces the pre-war preparations of both sides for the offensive and defensive war surrounding Constantinople in 1453 that was endowed with sacred significance, the unfolding of the war process, and the historical trend of the Mediterranean world after the war. The author mobilizes historical ink and paints thick and colorful portraits of the two supreme commanders, the initiator of the war, Sultan Mohammed II, and the Emperor of the Byzantine Empire, Constantine XI. At the same time, Roger Crowley uses line drawings, sketches, or light ink to depict the group portraits of the commanders, chief ministers, religious leaders, and skilled craftsmen of the two armies in the confrontation.
