Javad Shir-Del has been a brother to a murdered sister, a husband to a dead wife, and now the Chief Spymaster of the feared Iranian Ministry of Intelligence for the regime he holds responsible for both. His audacious plan against the West, hailed by that same regime and embraced by their allies, isn't what they think it is. His quest for vengeance, however, has placed what remains of his family in the direct path of the one person who's eluded his own version of justice all these years. U.S. Navy Commander Joey Washington is on the crippled International Space Station. She and her two fellow astronauts have a terrifying view of what's unfolding on the planet below them. Her family is in Virginia, but their landing zone is half a world away, if they can make it out. Gunnery Sergeant An Nguyen and his Marines are in a darkened Fort Knox, Kentucky. They only have moments before the Christmas Eve power outage turns deadly. Fighting for their lives through an altered landscape with one of the only vehicles that still runs, an M1A1 Abrams Main Battle Tank nicknamed Alice, his mind is on his parents and his twin brother. What's waiting for them is the last thing he expects. Gale Washington and his daughter Layla have no idea the danger they're in when the lights go out on their neighborhood holiday party in a suburb of Northern Virginia. All Gale can think about is his wife, Joey, and if he'll ever see her again. Together with his extremely odd assortment of neighbors, they cling to the barest shreds of survival in their struggle during the first days of World War III.

Download The Mongol Empire [2 volumes] Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
Covering the rise and fall of the Mongol Empire, this essential reference presents the figures, places, and events that led this once-beleaguered region to rise up to become the largest contiguous empire in history. In the 13th century, Chinggis Khan rose to power, leading an empire of a million people and defeating surrounding regions with much larger populations. This compendium follows the achievements—and failures—of the Mongol Empire from the birth of Chinggis Khan in 1162 to the formation of the successor states that came from the dissolution of the world power in the 16th century: the Yuan Empire in East Asia; the Chaghatai Khanate in Central Asia; the Ilkhanate in the Middle East; and the Jochid or Kipchak Khanate in the Pontic-Caspian Steppes, known as the Golden Horde. Through some 180 entries, this two-volume set covers every aspect of Mongol civilization, organizing content into eight sections: government and politics, organization and administration, individuals, groups and organizations, key events, military, objects and artifacts, and key places. Each section is accompanied by an essay introducing the topic in the context of the Mongol Empire. The work also includes a chronology, a number of annotated primary documents, and a bibliography.

World War III began years ago, and the American government doesn't even know it. For years, while Iran and North Korea kept Western diplomats busy, China and Russia have been quietly seeding the US with spies and soldiers. Now a silent army of occupation lurks inside US borders, and for America, it is already too late. When the assault begins-via an EMP strike that disables the US electrical grid and neutralizes her defenses all in one fell swoop-the US is caught completely unprepared. The nation is lost, and it is up to ordinary citizens to defend their cities, towns, neighborhoods, or even just their families. The Washingtons are no ordinary family. Gale Washington is an analyst at the Operations Center for Joint Intelligence Command. His wife, Joey, is a Navy commander aboard the International Space Station. Or they were. Now, like their neighbors in their Northern Virginia suburb, they're just two people trying to survive. And maybe... find a way to strike back. Mongol Moon is Mark Sibley's acclaimed debut novel about the individual impact of a global war for survival that looks increasingly plausible with each passing day.

Download Collaborative Nationalism Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
Cosmopolitanism and friendship have become key themes for understanding ethnicity and nationalism. In this deeply original study of the Mongols, leading scholar Uradyn E. Bulag draws on these themes to develop a new concept he terms "collaborative nationalism." He uses this concept to explore the paradoxical dilemma of minorities in China as they fight not against being excluded but against being embraced too tightly in the bonds of "friendship." Going beyond traditional binary relationships, he offers a unique triangular perspective that illuminates the complexity of regional interaction. Thus, Collaborative Nationalism traces the regional and global significance of the Mongols in the fierce competition among China, Japan, Mongolia, and Russia to appropriate the Mongol heritage to buttress their own national identities. The book considers a rich array of case studies that range from Chinggis Khan to reincarnate lamas, from cadres to minority revolutionary history, and from building the Mongolian working class to interethnic adoption. So-called friendship and collaboration permeate all of these arenas, but Bulag digs below the surface to focus on the animosity and conflicts they both generate and mask. Weighing the options the Mongols face, he argues that the ethnopolitical is not so much about identity as it is about the capacity of an ethnic group to decide and organize its own vision of itself, both within its community and in relation to other groups. Nationalism, he contends, is collaborative at the same time that it is predicated on the pursuit of sovereignty.

Download Buddhism in Mongolian History, Culture, and Society Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
Buddhism in Mongolian History, Culture, and Society explores the unique elements of Mongolian Buddhism while challenging its stereotyped image as a mere replica of Tibetan Buddhism. Vesna A. Wallace brings together an interdisciplinary group of leading scholars to explore the interaction between the Mongolian indigenous culture and Buddhism, the features that Buddhism acquired through its adaptation to the Mongolian cultural sphere, and the ways Mongols have constructed their Buddhist identity. The contributors explore the ways that Buddhism retained unique Mongolian features through Qing and Mongol support, and bring to light the ways in which Mongolian Buddhists saw Buddhism as inseparable from "Mongolness." They show that by being greatly supported by Mongol and Qing empires, suppressed by the communist governments, and experiencing revitalization facilitated by democratization and the challenges posed by modernity, Buddhism underwent a series of transformations while retaining unique Mongolian features. The book covers historical events, social and political conditions, and influential personages in Mongolian Buddhism from the sixteenth century to the present, and addresses the artistic and literary expressions of Mongolian Buddhism and various Mongolian Buddhist practices and beliefs.
