Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. From Khartoum to Kharg Island: The Long War for the Global Jugular is a chillingly prophetic work of speculative political history that redefines the modern era not as a battle against terror, but as a multi-generational resource war for the world's economic lifeblood. The narrative opens at the zero hour of March 28, 2026, as paratroopers of the 82nd Airborne Division descend toward Iran's Kharg Island in a desperate mission to secure the world's oil supply without triggering a global economic collapse. The book meticulously traces a thirty-year strategic arc that began in the dusty safehouses of 1990s Sudan, where ideological architect Hassan al-Turabi first cultivated the "Jugular Thesis"-the realization that a networked civilization is most vulnerable at its narrowest physical and financial chokepoints. Through a sophisticated "Network of Networks" involving Iran, North Korea, and Al-Qaeda, this "Axis of Evil" transitioned from the laboratory of Khartoum to a mature global threat, weaponizing everything from smart mines and jet-powered drones to sovereign AI and deepfake disinformation. As the 82nd Airborne faces a sixty-second window to disable "dead-man switches" before the IRGC activates a catastrophic martyrdom strategy, the book argues that the United States spent decades hunting individuals while its adversaries were patiently seizing the global jugular. This gripping analysis serves as both a tactical thriller and a sobering strategic reckoning, forcing a confrontation with the structural vulnerabilities of the dollar-denominated order and the rising shadow ecology of the Petro-Yuan. It is a definitive account of a world where the one who holds the chokepoint holds the world, and where the long-deferred price of strategic miscalculation is finally being paid in the fire and darkness of the Persian Gulf.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The secret history they never put in the 9/11 report.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The War That Rewrote the Middle East is a comprehensive historical and journalistic account by Liam Conrad that chronicles the devastating regional conflict of early 2026. The narrative centers on Operation Epic Fury, a massive, high-intensity military campaign launched by the United States and its allies on February 28, 2026, which fundamentally dismantled the military and political infrastructure of the Islamic Republic of Iran in a matter of days.The book opens with a visceral, 'scene-setting dispatch' from the night the bombs fell, describing the transition of the Middle East from a state of 'managed conflict' to one of 'total war'. Conrad details the precision-guided 'Night of Fire,' where B-2 stealth bombers and autonomous LUCAS drones decapitated the Iranian command structure and neutralized its vast ballistic missile 'cities'. A central pillar of the opening phase was the Khamenei Strike, a joint U.S.-Israeli operation that resulted in the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and his inner 'brain trust' in broad daylight.Conrad explores the unprecedented level of bilateral coordination between the U.S. and Israel, contrasting the broad regional goals of Epic Fury with Israel's specialized Operation Roaring Lion. While the U.S. focused on regional proxy networks and coastal defenses, Israel performed 'neurosurgical' strikes on hardened nuclear facilities like Natanz and Fordow. The book also traces the 'diplomatic scramble' in Europe, as the UK, France, and Germany abandoned traditional mediation to support the neutralization of Iran's drone and missile capabilities.The narrative does not shy away from the 'Fractured Chaos' that followed the initial strikes. As the centralized Iranian state collapsed, 'headless' IRGC cells initiated a scorched-earth policy across the Gulf. Key events documented.A U.S. submarine sinking the IRIS Dena and the destruction of over 50 Iranian vessels to prevent the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Devastating drone and missile strikes on Saudi Aramco's Ras Tanura facility and logistical hubs like Jebel Ali and RAF Akrotiri. The Cyber Frontier is a 'shadow war' of logic bombs and hacked surveillance that blinded defenders before the first physical munitions were even launched.At its heart, the book is a reflection on the 'velocity of ruin'. Conrad examines the heavy human toll, exemplified by the tragic missile strike on a girls' school in Minab. He concludes by analyzing the 'contested meaning of victory'. While President Trump declared the mission a success after 5,000 targets were struck in ten days, the book leaves the reader with a sobering look at the 'Morning After'-a world where the old alliances are ashes, the global energy market is permanently altered, and the Middle East remains a 'vacuum of pure uncertainty'.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The secret history they never put in the 9/11 report.For more than two decades, the official story has been carefully managed. Al-Qaeda attacked America. Iran was an adversary. The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were separate chapters in a global struggle against terror. But what if the real story was far more tangled, more cynical, and more consequential than any of that?The 9/11 War: Inside the Secret Alliance Between Al-Qaeda and Iran, is the definitive narrative account of the hidden relationship between Iran and al-Qaeda - from the first clandestine meetings in Khartoum in the early 1990s to the drone strikes, proxy wars, and nuclear standoffs that continue to define the most volatile region on earth.Drawing on declassified intelligence documents, the 9/11 Commission's buried findings, the Abbottabad files recovered from bin Laden's compound, and the accounts of the diplomats, operatives, and analysts who lived these events, this is the story of how two sworn enemies found common cause against a common target - and how the United States, again and again, failed to reckon with what that meant.You'll discover the Iranian border guards instructed not to stamp the passports of the future hijackers. The secret Geneva back-channel that nearly ended twenty years of hostility in the weeks after September 11. The two-page fax from Tehran offering to trade its nuclear program, its proxies, and its war footing for a normalized relationship with Washington - and the White House that threw it in the trash. The Quds Force operatives who moved through Baghdad distributing the shaped charges that killed American soldiers while Iranian diplomats smiled across negotiating tables. The intelligence estimate that stopped a war. The assassinations that settled a generation of scores. And the question that haunts every page: what would the Middle East look like today if any of it had gone differently?This is not a book about villains and heroes. It is a book about institutions, interests, and the catastrophic cost of choosing ideology over strategy at every critical junction. It is a book about the wars that were fought, the deals that were killed, and the world that was made in the space between them.Meticulously researched. Relentlessly readable. Essential.Operation Epic Fury is narrative nonfiction at its most urgent - the story of the secret war behind the war, told for the first time with the full weight of the historical record behind it.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This working manuscript, titled History of Norway: War and Wisdom, is a sweeping saga authored by Liam Conrad published by Dex System under the AM I AM Publishing Masterworks imprint. It traces three thousand years of Norwegian history through the recurring lives of three powerful archetypes: the Seer, who reads the hidden patterns of the world; the Shield, who protects those patterns with iron and precision; and the Builder, who transforms raw nature into civilization. From the receding glaciers of the Bronze Age to the cutting-edge biotech laboratories of 2026, the narrative follows a "red thread" known as the heat-sense-an inherited capacity to perceive warmth and life in the deepest northern dark. The book reinterprets national identity through a series of vivid historical windows, including the daring maritime innovations of the Viking shipwrights, the existential struggle of the Black Death, and the strategic brilliance of the heavy water saboteurs during the Second World War. It explores a unique cultural philosophy where Odin is reimagined as a Frost Giant who let wisdom into the world, and where the modern "Odin-Marker" in the Norwegian genome acts as a fossilized DNA sequence of that first ancient transformation. This ambitious work connects the architectural mastery of stave churches to the modern management of the Sovereign Wealth Fund, arguing that Norway's true strength lies in a methodical, patient intelligence developed to survive the most demanding environments on Earth. Ultimately, it is a story of a people who learned to keep a small, permanent fire burning against the long silence of history, ensuring that the ancestral warmth of their culture never truly goes out.
