Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Two great powers bleed each other dry in a war neither can win. A third, patient, watches from the mountain.A logistician counts the shells and realises his country is being hollowed out from the inside - not by the enemy it is fighting, but by the one it has never thought to fear. A mother in a wartime grain store keeps a secret notebook, recording a pattern no one else will name. A diplomat spends forty years building the trust of nations he intends to betray. An intelligence analyst finds a date buried in a column of figures - the date the world changes - and spends three years trying to make someone act before it arrives.Four people. Four countries. One slow, patient, devastating design.None of them can see the others. All of them can see the same thing: somewhere beyond the war everyone is watching, a patient power sits on the high ground, spending nothing, committing nothing, waiting for the two great rivals to exhaust each other completely. When they do, it will descend into what the bleeding has left. And the war the whole world thought it understood will turn out to have been the preparation for a different war entirely.A novel about the geometry of power - who spends, who waits, and who inherits the wreckage.Watching Tigers Fight is a geopolitical thriller told through four rotating perspectives: the soldier who sees his country being spent, the mother who witnesses the design from below, the diplomat who believes mass destruction is mercy, and the analyst whose warnings are heard, admired, and never acted upon.It is about the people who see catastrophe coming and cannot make anyone listen. The people who arrange catastrophe and cannot stop believing it is kindness. And the terrible discovery that the brave thing and the right thing and the futile thing can be the same thing.Set in a fully fictional world with no real-world nations, Watching Tigers Fight draws on the logic of Sun Tzu, the patience of grand strategy, and the human cost of geopolitical calculation. The title comes from the ancient Chinese proverb ????? - sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.No nations in this book are real. The pattern is.Perfect for readers of Elliot Ackerman, 2034, Ghost Fleet, The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, and anyone who has ever wondered what happens when patience itself becomes a weapon.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The beaches are still there. The sand still shifts with every tide. But the men who crossed them are almost gone, and the stories they carried are fading with them.Walking in Their Footsteps is the D-Day history for readers who want more than maps and manoeuvre tables. Written by a British author who lives less than an hour from the Normandy beaches, it is a book shaped by decades of walking the actual ground, talking to the people who remember, and standing in the places where everything changed on the morning of 6 June 1944.This is not a book that competes with Antony Beevor or Cornelius Ryan. It occupies a different register entirely: ground-level, human, and intimate. Where the great histories survey the campaign from above, Walking in Their Footsteps begins from a named place the author has personally walked, and asks what it felt like to be there. The result is something rarer than analysis: genuine proximity to events that reshaped the world.What You Will Find InsideThe book is dedicated to Harry Billinge MBE, a D-Day veteran who devoted the last decades of his life to ensuring that nobody forgot. His presence runs through these pages as a reminder of what living memory means, and what we lose when it is gone.Walking in Their Footsteps also pairs with a GPS-guided companion app giving access to more than one hundred named sites, making it the only D-Day title that extends from the page directly to the ground beneath your feet.Who This Book Is ForIf you have read Beevor, Ambrose, or Max Hastings and found yourself wanting something warmer, closer, and more personal, this is the book you were looking for. If you are planning a trip to Normandy and want a companion that goes beyond the tour buses and the standard itineraries, Walking in Their Footsteps will transform what you see. If you carry an inherited memory, a grandfather's silence, a photograph with no caption, you will find context and humanity here that no regimental history can provide.This is history for people who believe that the ground remembers, even when we struggle to. It is for the battlefield pilgrim, the curious traveller, the family searching for meaning in a name on a headstone, and every reader who has ever stood somewhere significant and felt the weight of what happened there pressing up through the earth.Walking in Their Footsteps is the most personal, immediate, and human guide to the D-Day beaches and the Normandy campaign ever written by someone who actually lives among them. Read it before you go. Read it when you return. Read it because the obligation of remembrance belongs to all of us now. D-Day and the Battle of Normandy told from inside the landscape where it happened. Every chapter begins with the author on the ground in present-day Normandy, then steps back to tell the story of what took place on that spot. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
