The New York Times bestselling author of The Party Is Over delivers a no-holds-barred exposé of who really wields power in Washington.

Mike Lofgren is back with a book perfectly pitched for the frenzied circus of the primaries. His argument this time is that for all of the backstabbing and money grubbing of the campaign season, the politicians we elect have as little ability to shift policy as Communist party apparatchiks.

Welcome to Mike Lofgren’s Washington, D.C.—a This Town, where the political theater that is endlessly tweeted and blogged about has nothing to do with actual decision making. The real work gets done behind the scenes by invisible bureaucrats working for the vast web of agencies that actually dictate our foreign policy, defense posture, and security decisions. Have you ever wondered why Obama’s policies look so much like Bush’s? Seek no further: Hillary v. Jeb is just window dressing. Actual power lies in the Deep State, Washington’s shadowy power elite, in the pockets of corporate interests and dependent on the moguls of Silicon Valley, whose data-collecting systems enable the U.S. government to spy on our every move, swipe, and click.

Drawing on insider knowledge gleaned in his three decades on the Hill, Lofgren offers a provocative wake-up call to Americans and urges them to fight to reinstate the basic premise of the Constitution.

Britannia"s Realm: In Support of the State: 1763-1815 (A History of the British Merchant Navy Book 2)

Britannia’s Realm: In Support of the State: 1763-1815 (A History of the British Merchant Navy Book 2) by Richard Woodman

The end of the seven years’ war marked the beginning of a new era for Britain’s merchant marine.

The suddenly increased access to those resources most crucial to shipping – none more so than the seaworthy timber of Canada – created a boom in late eighteenth-century trade.

New markets opened in the Americas, in India and in China.

But it was not long before British maritime dominance would undergo its greatest challenges.

The American War of Independence created a new enemy who had unprecedented knowledge of British trade routes.

The newly independent United States’ alliances with the traditional European powers of France and Spain would promote maritime competition during peace and privateering during war across the globe.

Continuing his series on the history of Britain’s merchant marine, Richard Woodman provides this insightful volume on the period from 1763 to 1815, embracing in its pages a study of trade, war, and privateering.

Woodman’s pivotal work takes a global approach, considering the Atlantic, Mediterranean and Pacific oceans and considering how these diverse trades interacted with each other.

Through impeccable research and detailed study, he has provided a comprehensive work of naval history told in a lively and entertaining narrative.

In this volume, Woodman also uncovers the history of the privateers who both thwarted and aided the more well-known actions of the royal navy.

In Britannia’s Realm, he has demonstrated how it was often British state power that followed trade rather than the reverse.

Praise for Richard Woodman’s History of the British Merchant Navy:

‘Richard Woodman reminds us of the importance of merchant ships and our debts to the seafarers – men and women – who manned.’ HRH Princess Anne

‘If Neptune’s Trident sets the standard for what is to follow – we can at least rest assured that there is a series that truly does justice to our proud merchant maritime past.’ Nautilus UK Telegraph

‘Richard Woodman tells many a good tale in this first volume and it is fascinating to read. I highly recommend this first volume in the Neptune s Trident for anyone with an interest in the early modern period. If the rest of the series is as good as this one, they should all be on the bookshelves of those studying the history of Britain, from the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries.’ Open History
