Abstract

From two former military officers and award-winning authors, a chillingly authentic geopolitical thriller that imagines a naval clash between the US and China in the South China Sea in 2034 - and the path from there to a nightmarish global conflagration. On March 12, 2034, US Navy Commodore Sarah Hunt is on the bridge of her flagship, the guided missile destroyer USS John Paul Jones, conducting a routine freedom of navigation patrol in the South China Sea when her ship detects an unflagged trawler in clear distress, smoke billowing from its bridge. On that same day, US Marine aviator Major Chris "Wedge" Mitchell is flying an F35E Lightning over the Strait of Hormuz, testing a new stealth technology as he flirts with Iranian airspace. By the end of that day, Wedge will be an Iranian prisoner, and Sarah Hunt's destroyer will lie at the bottom of the sea, sunk by the Chinese Navy. Iran and China have clearly coordinated their moves, which involve the use of powerful new forms of cyber weaponry that render US ships and planes defenseless. In a single day, America's faith in its military's strategic preeminence is in tatters. A new, terrifying era is at hand. So begins a disturbingly plausible work of speculative fiction, coauthored by an award-winning novelist and decorated Marine veteran and the former commander of NATO, a legendary admiral who has spent much of his career strategically outmaneuvering America's most tenacious adversaries. Written with a powerful blend of geopolitical sophitication and human empathy, 2034 takes us inside the minds of a global cast of characters - Americans, Chinese, Iranians, Russians, Indians - as a series of arrogant miscalculations on all sides leads the world into an intensifying international storm. In the end, China and the United States will have paid a staggering cost, one that forever alters the global balance of power. Everything in 2034 is an imaginative extrapolation from present-day facts on the ground combined with the authors' years of working at the highest and most classified levels of national security. Sometimes it takes a brilliant work of fiction to illuminate the most dire of warnings: 2034 is all too close at hand, and this cautionary tale presents the readers a dark yet possible future that we must do all we can to avoid. --

Abstract

"In der vorliegenden Arbeit geht es darum, eine grundlegende Theorie moderner Forschung über das Verhältnis von Mythos und Geschichte am konkreten Beispiel der Schlacht von Salamis zu erproben. Die historische Seeschlacht von Salamis gewann bereits in der Antike mythische Relevanz und in der Folge entwickelte sich daraus ein europäischer Mythos. Das Anliegen dieses Buches ist, die Mannigfaltigkeit des Salamis-Mythos aufzeigen und die in der Forschung übliche Bilanz einer im Salamis-Mythos herrschenden Orient-Okzident-Antithese um weitere Aspekte ergänzen, die bisweilen sogar wichtiger erscheinen. Es gilt somit der Frage nachzugehen, inwiefern und aus welchen Gründen die Schlacht in der klassisch-humanistischen Bildungstradition in Bezug auf die Anfänge der klassischen Kultur und im Verhältnis zu bestimmten historischen Situationen (nach grossen historischen Seesiegen oder verschiedenen Freiheitskriegen der europäischen Geschichte) eine mythische Relevanz hat. Seit dem ausgehenden 20. Jahrhundert hat die Erinnerungsgeschichte in der Altertumswissenschaft grössere Bedeutung gewonnen und deswegen werden herkömmliche Forschungsthemen in einem neuen Licht betrachtet. Die vorliegende erinnerungsgeschichtliche Untersuchung zur nachantiken und antiken Rezeption des Salamis-Mythos schliesst an die neuesten Beiträge über die Erinnerung der Schlacht von Marathon an. Die hier einbezogene rezente Forschungsrichtung konnte nämlich überzeugend die paradigmatische Relevanz der Erkenntnis herausstellen, dass selbst die Rezeption „geschichtsbildende Energie" sei. Das auf einer eigenen Quellensammlung beruhende Buch ist in zeitlich rücklaufender Reihenfolge aufgebaut. So wird deutlicher, dass Geschichte im Sinne von Thomas Mann als das Geschichtete verstanden werden kann und die Tiefe der Überlieferung ist somit leichter wahrzunehmen"--Page 4 of cover.

Abstract

The Battle of Lepanto, celebrated as the greatest triumph of Christendom over its Ottoman enemy, was soon transformed into a powerful myth through a vast media campaign. Lepanto ? or rather, the varied storytelling and the many visual representations that contributed to shape the perception of the battle in Christian Europe ? is the main focus of this book. In a broader perspective, 'Lepanto and Beyond' also gathers reflections on the construction of religious alterity and offers analyses of specific case studies taken from different fields, investigating the figure of the Muslim captive in reality, artistic depiction, and literature. With different themes related to the Republic of Genoa, the authors also aim to redress a perceived imbalance and to restore the important role of the Genoese in the general scholarly discussion on Lepanto and its images.
