Preparing for War
An original conceptual approach to the study of war, attempting to capture the entire phenomenon of military adaptation—whether strategic, institutional or in the field. The unravelling of the post-Cold War order has intensified geopolitical tensions, driving a global increase in defence spending. Most military organisations are engaged in a process of drastic transformation, trying to scale their activities, learn from contemporary battlefields, and improve readiness. Yet armed forces engaged in such reforms must solve a major dilemma: how to adapt to an uncertain future without losing their current identity, coherence or operational effectiveness. In this incisive and timely study, Olivier Schmitt explores how modern militaries adapt, or fail to adapt, to evolving threats, technologies and political constraints. Drawing on global case-studies--from the trenches of Ukraine to the halls of the People's Liberation Army leadership--he investigates how social expectations, political constraints and organisational cultures collide in the worldwide quest to reform the military. Essential reading for defence professionals, policymakers and scholars of international security, Preparing for War equips readers with the tools to grasp not only the 'how' but the 'why' behind military transformation. In an era of rising defence budgets and shrinking certainties, this book delivers crucial insights into the future of war--and the institutions that must be ready for it.
House of Huawei
The untold story of the mysterious company that shook the world
On the coast of southern China, an eccentric entrepreneur spent three decades steadily building an obscure telecom company into one of the world's most powerful technological empires with hardly anyone noticing. This all changed in December 2018, when the detention of Meng Wanzhou, Huawei Technologies' female scion, sparked an international hostage standoff, poured fuel on the U.S.-China trade war, and suddenly thrust the mysterious company into the international spotlight.
In House of Huawei, Washington Post technology reporter Eva Dou pieces together a remarkable portrait of Huawei's reclusive founder Ren Zhengfei and how he built a sprawling corporate empire - one whose rise Western policymakers have become increasingly obsessed with halting. The book dissects the global web of power, money, influence, surveillance, bloodshed and national glory that Huawei helped to build - and that has also ensnared it.

Forever Forward
Few names in motorsports carry the same authority as McLaren and, although in recent years their performance hadn't living up to the legend, they have now returned to form in a spectacular way under the leadership of Zak Brown.
Going into 2023, Brown's team were the ninth quickest on the grid only to end it as arguably the second fastest, after a dramatic mid-season turnaround. It was only in 2024 that lead driver Lando Norris achieved his first ever Grand Prix win in Miami. The following year he became world champion.
Zak Brown took over a failing team from Ron Dennis in 2018, and his dynamic leadership style has seen astounding results. McLaren are on the rise again, looking to a future that will echo its haloed past, when James Hunt, Alain Prost, Niki Lauda, Ayrton Senna and Lewis Hamilton drove the team into the history books. Here they go again.
The McLaren motto is 'Forever Forward', and their story is all about the underdog taking on the big boys of F1. The author looks back at McLaren's origin story, as their heritage is such a big part of their identity, but his main mission is going behind the scenes to give us the inside track on the team's extraordinary resurgence under Brown, and their thrilling bid for victory.
While You Were Seething
Daisy Emmett has been enemies with famous romance author Caleb Miller since they were in college together, and time hasn't lessened their mutual loathing. So, when she agrees to maneuver him through a PR disaster of his own making, she knows it's not going to be easy. She just doesn't realise how not easy until they somehow end up trapped in the same truck, on an endless road trip from one book tour stop to another, bantering and butting heads along the way.
Then, even more horrifying: people appear to be mistaking her for the woman he dedicates all his books to. The love of his life, his adored beloved-the one who doesn't actually exist. Now they're trapped into pretending she does and that Daisy is her, each fake kiss and phony embrace ratcheting up the tension to the point where enemies suddenly seems a lot closer to lovers than either of them would like.
Or so they're telling themselves.
But sometimes it's hard to be sure, when seething turns into something so much more ...
On Thin Ice
They can't keep skating around their feelings...
When disgraced Hollywood star Luca Vasvault is partnered with drama-averse professional skater Matilda Stevens on Stars on Ice, the pair get off to a less-than-smooth start. Matilda’s dazzling smile and generous spirit immediately set Luca on edge (surely no one can be that nice?) while Luca’s standoffish and brooding behaviour is making Matilda’s job unnecessarily difficult.
Despite their tension behind the scenes, though, there’s no denying their chemistry on the ice. And since Matilda and Luca both need to win for their own reasons, they strike a deal: they’ll work together, playing up their “showmance”, to win the public’s love and better their chances of winning the competition.
After all, they’re both performers for a living. How hard can it be to pretend their feelings are real?

With rare photographs of the club and its members, this book details how the organisation endured its early challenges, particularly during the trials following Milperra. It illustrates their resilience as they rebuilt the club, persevering through adversity—from murdered presidents to attacks on their clubhouses.
