Leadership
Six Studies in World Strategy
2024 || Paperback || Henry Kissinger || Veltman Distributie Import Books
Henry Kissinger analyses how six extraordinary leaders he has known have shaped their countries and the world
'Leaders,' writes Henry Kissinger in this compelling book, 'think and act at the intersection of two axes: the first, between the past and the future; the second between the abiding values and aspirations of those they lead. They must balance what they know, which is necessarily drawn from the past, with what they intuit about the future, which is inherently conjectural and uncertain....

Meet the most powerful leader in the world.
Chinese premier Xi Jinping graces our television screens and news headlines on a regular basis. But even after a decade in power, he remains shrouded in mystery.
From growing up with a father purged in Mao's Cultural Revolution and his mission to eradicate poverty, to his persecution of Uyghur Muslims and paranoia about being likened to Winnie-the-Pooh, Xi Jinping is a man obscured by caricatures. In this short, essential primer, historian and write...

Data Grab
The new Colonialism of Big Tech and how to fight back
2024 || Paperback || Ulises A. Mejias e.a. || Veltman Distributie Import Books
Your life online is their product.

It took resources just because they were there.
Colonialism has not disappeared – it has taken on a new form.
In the new world order, data is the new oil. Big Tech c...

Putin and the Return of History
How the Kremlin Rekindled the Cold War
2024 || Paperback || Martin Sixsmith || Veltman Distributie Import Books
