Book Description
After sixteen attempts on her life, years of mental torture and five years in US federal prisons Shahrzad Mirgholikhan has decided to go back to Iran after being released. She is wary though, knowing the moment she steps off the plane she could be taken away and no one will ever see her again. She knows what the Islamic Republic is capable of. For years she was locked into a terrifying marriage with Mahmoud Seif. He is a member of the IRGC, an organization that professes to uphold and defend the ideals of the 1979 revolution but is accused of stoking conflicts across the Middle East and victimizing the Iranian people to ensure the theocracy of Supreme Leader, Sayyed Ali Khamenei, prevails. Back in Tehran Shahrzad is forced into signing away her right to talk about her experiences. She is forced into a job at a network called PressTV so they can keep her under close surveillance. You see, Shahrzad knows a little too much. She has evidence of the IRGC’s covert operations at home and abroad and she has threatened to share it with the world if her life is put in danger. The IRGC bides its time and Shahrzad makes a name for herself in PressTV; joining forces with Dr. Mohammad Sarafraz to root out corrupt elements at PressTV and IRIB. Yet again Shahrzad is forced to lock horns with murders and thieves at the highest levels of government, and the few remaining pieces of her story's puzzle, fall into place.

Book Description
Small unmanned aircraft are already transforming warfare, with hand-launched scouts like the Raven and lethal tactical drones like Switchblade already in use by US forces. A bigger revolution is on the way, as swarming software allows a single operator to control large numbers of drones, and smartphone technology means they can be built for $1,000 each -- by anybody, not just governments. This book looks at the history of drone warfare, the rise of big drones like the Predator and how they are being eclipsed by smaller unmanned aircraft. And how the future is being shaped by smartphone technology, swarm software, miniaturised munitions and energy-harvesting that allows small drones to fly forever. It also looks at why current air defence cannot stop the swarms, and what drone swarms will mean for the balance of power and future wars. This is the world of Swarm Troopers

The authors, both former artillery officers who saw action in Word War Two, describe the development of their neglected, inadequate and class-ridden arm through the battles of the First World War and the eventual war-winning role that artillery played, to the culmination of professional military deployment in the Second World War.

Book Description
The instant New York Times bestseller. From Microsoft's president and one of the tech industry's broadest thinkers, a frank and thoughtful reckoning with how to balance enormous promise and existential risk as the digitization of everything accelerates. “A colorful and insightful insiders’ view of how technology is both empowering and threatening us. From privacy to cyberattacks, this timely book is a useful guide for how to navigate the digital future.” —Walter Isaacson Microsoft President Brad Smith operates by a simple core belief: When your technology changes the world, you bear a responsibility to help address the world you have helped create. This might seem uncontroversial, but it flies in the face of a tech sector long obsessed with rapid growth and sometimes on disruption as an end in itself. While sweeping digital transformation holds great promise, we have reached an inflection point. The world has turned information technology into both a powerful tool and a formidable weapon, and new approaches are needed to manage an era defined by even more powerful inventions like artificial intelligence. Companies that create technology must accept greater responsibility for the future, and governments will need to regulate technology by moving faster and catching up with the pace of innovation. In Tools and Weapons, Brad Smith and Carol Ann Browne bring us a captivating narrative from the cockpit of one of the world's largest and most powerful tech companies as it finds itself in the middle of some of the thorniest emerging issues of our time. These are challenges that come with no preexisting playbook, including privacy, cybercrime and cyberwar, social media, the moral conundrums of artificial intelligence, big tech's relationship to inequality, and the challenges for democracy, far and near. While in no way a self-glorifying "Microsoft memoir," the book pulls back the curtain remarkably wide onto some of the company's most crucial recent decision points as it strives to protect the hopes technology offers against the very real threats it also presents. There are huge ramifications for communities and countries, and Brad Smith provides a thoughtful and urgent contribution to that effort.
