Hardback. Zustand: Good. But by the Chance of War is a uniquely different type of book. The book presents four dramatic stories of war from India's fight with the Ephthalite Huns, to the Fall of Fort Niagara in the Seven Years War, to the trenches of World War I, and finally to modern-day circumstances and actions in the Middle East. A project that took years to complete, this book examines our impulses toward combat and encourages the reader to contemplate the seemingly inexplicable dynamic toward destruction despite our conscious knowledge of war's ultimate futility. Each story features characters that come to grips with the implication of technological advances that hasten the scope of casualties as they grapple with the moral questions of individual responsibility, the nature of military leadership, and the impact of the evolution of war on civilizations. As we look at history and how it has shaped us, how will we move forward in an age when technology and weaponry are meant to destroy everything in its path.…

It is a chronicle of the creation and growth of the constitutionally unenumerated power of the Administrative State, which has become a tyrannical force; not just dissimilar to our founding, but diametrically opposed to the ideals and constitutional design of our freedom.In Volume III of this Democracy Series, we ask a simple question Socrates asked when examining distinct kinds of government: 'Who rules who ' This book is a battleground chronicle of a war that has begun over the American anatomy of government and over the American soul.
