Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - In January 2026, President Donald Trump asked a question that many American voters had heard before, but few had ever seen answered clearly: if the United States goes to war, which allies actually show up Treaties promise solidarity. Speeches promise unity. History tells a more complicated story.In USA at War, M. J. O'Connor examines what alliance commitments really mean once fighting begins. Drawing on past conflicts, alliance structures, and the political realities inside allied capitals, this book separates assumption from reality and rhetoric from deployment.Some allies are automatic. Some are powerful but constrained. Others offer access, intelligence, or support rather than troops. A few are routinely overestimated, while a small number quietly do far more than is widely understood.This book does not argue that alliances are meaningless, nor does it assume betrayal or bad faith. Instead, it asks a harder and more practical question: when American leaders plan for war, who can they realistically count on to send combat forces in time to matter Covering NATO, key Pacific partners, and major US allies such as the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, Canada, and Australia, USA at War explains how geography, domestic politics, military readiness, and legal limits shape who deploys-and who does not.Clear-eyed, non-partisan, and grounded in observable patterns rather than wishful thinking, this is a book for readers who want answers rather than reassurance.The question presidents ask. The answers voters don't hear.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Why does life in Britain feel harder than it should This book starts from a simple observation shared quietly by millions: things still work, but they no longer feel as if they work for you. Money doesn't stretch as far. Work feels heavier without delivering greater security. Taxes rise, yet services feel thinner. Housing dominates life decisions. Nothing is collapsing - but everything feels tighter.The End of the Rich Country argues that this discomfort is not personal failure, pessimism, or nostalgia. It is the result of a long structural shift. Britain still looks like a rich country on paper, but it increasingly functions like an asset-rich, income-poor one for a growing share of its population.Rather than offering slogans or blame, the book explains how this happened. It examines the slow drift from productive growth to asset dependence, the housing trap, stagnant wages, regional imbalance, declining productivity, and the quiet rationing of public services. It shows how a country can remain stable, orderly, and internationally respectable while becoming progressively less workable for everyday life.This is not a manifesto and not a prediction of collapse. It does not promise easy fixes or ideological comfort. Instead, it offers a clear diagnosis of the pressures shaping modern Britain - why effort no longer reliably turns into reward, why standing still has replaced progress, and why so many people feel busy without getting ahead.Written in a calm, non-partisan tone, The End of the Rich Country is for readers who sense something has changed but struggle to name it. Its aim is clarity rather than outrage: to explain the forces at work, the trade-offs involved, and the reality Britain now faces as the cushion of past wealth thins.This book is a diagnosis, not a manifesto.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - For much of the twentieth century, Venezuela was one of Latin America's wealthiest nations. By the early twenty-first century, it had become a symbol of economic collapse, political paralysis, and mass migration. This book explains how that transformation unfolded and why recovery has proven so difficult.Taking a long historical view, it traces Venezuela's development from Spanish colonial rule through independence, oil wealth, and the modern crisis. Rather than focusing on ideology or individual leaders, it examines how institutions formed, how power became concentrated, and how dependence on extractive wealth reshaped governance over time.The book follows Venezuela's trajectory through the twentieth century and into the twenty-first, including the Chávez and Maduro years, international pressure, sanctions, and developments up to 2026. It shows how repeated attempts at reform and intervention failed not because of a single decision or moment, but because institutional capacity had already eroded.Clear, measured, and non-polemical, this is a history of endurance as much as collapse. It offers context and analysis for readers seeking to understand Venezuela beyond headlines and short-term explanations.…

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Somalia is often described as a failed state. But failure suggests something that once worked and then broke. In Somalia's case, the problem runs deeper.Since the collapse of the Siad Barre regime in 1991, repeated international efforts have attempted to rebuild a central government, restore national institutions, and impose stability. None have succeeded. Peace agreements have produced governments without authority. Foreign intervention has delivered only temporary order. More than three decades on, Somalia remains locked in prolonged political collapse.This book argues that Somalia's condition is not the result of chaos, corruption, or cultural deficiency, but of a structural mismatch between the modern nation-state model and the social and economic realities of Somali society. Long before colonial partition, Somalis governed themselves through clan-based systems adapted to pastoral life, mobility, and scarce resources. Colonial borders, Cold War militarisation, and post-independence state-building imposed institutions that never aligned with how authority, loyalty, and security actually functioned on the ground.Tracing Somalia's trajectory from pre-colonial social order through colonial rule, military dictatorship, civil war, Islamism, and sustained foreign intervention, this book explains why repeated attempts at reconstruction have failed, and why relative stability emerged only where centralised statehood was abandoned.A concise, historically grounded analysis of Somalia's political collapse and what it reveals about the limits of modern state-building.
