DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe remarkable story of the 2019 World Series champion Washington Nationals told by the Washington Post writer who followed the team most closely. By May 2019, the Washington Nationals—owners of baseball’s oldest roster—had one of the worst records in the majors and just a 1.5 percent chance of winning the World Series. Yet by blending an old-school brand of baseball with modern analytics, they managed to sneak into the playoffs and put together the most unlikely postseason run in baseball history. Not only did they beat the Houston Astros, the team with the best regular-season record, to claim the franchise’s first championship—they won all four games in Houston, making them the first club to ever win four road games in a World Series. “You have a great year, and you can run into a buzz saw,” Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg told Washington Post beat writer Jesse Dougherty after the team advanced to the World Series. “Maybe this year we’re the buzz saw.” Dougherty followed the Nationals more closely than any other writer in America, and in Buzz Saw he recounts the dramatic year in vivid detail, taking readers inside the dugout, the clubhouse, the front office, and ultimately the championship parade. Yet he does something more than provide a riveting retelling of the season: he makes the case that while there is indisputable value to Moneyball-style metrics, baseball isn’t just a numbers game. Intangibles like team chemistry, veteran experience, and childlike joy are equally essential to winning. Certainly, no team seemed to have more fun than the Nationals, who adopted the kids’ song “Baby Shark” as their anthem and regularly broke into dugout dance parties. Buzz Saw is just as lively and rollicking—a fitting tribute to one of the most exciting, inspiring teams to ever take the field.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book “The Jihadis Plus - Know the Anti-Nationals” is a sequel to the book ‘Know the Anti-Nationals’ published in 2021, both in English and Hindi. What is germane to the internal security challenges to Bharat Nation and the Indian State, are ideologies and isms. The dynamics of internal conflicts and shades of anti-national characters and allied forces keep changing, but the ideological moorings and motivations of the anti-nationals remain unchanged. If they were to change, they would whither. Since anti-nationals keep mutating in updated versions, correspondingly this book became an imperative. Sanatan is not expansionist, because it is eternal. Nevertheless it certainly prescribes offensive-defence. Without offensive defence Bharatiya nationhood cannot be preserved and nurtured. This book can be read independently as well as in conjunction with the previous book ‘Know the Anti-Nationals’. Contents • India is Indeed their Motherland • Clash of Civilizations in the Subcontinent • Global Jihad in India • Holy Books, Politics and Wars • Gandhi: Contributions, Conflicts, Compromises • Polity at War with National Security • Politics of Assassinations • Was the First CDS Killed? • Why Target Sushil Pandit? • Yet Another Attempt to Force an Ethnic Exodus from Kashmir • Dark Clouds Went Away with 370 • Kashmir: De-radicalization is the only Solution • Your Lordships should Trust the Wisdom of Armed Forces • Anti-Nationals versus Agniveers • The Jihadi-in-Chief is Chief Guest at Sandhurst • Pakistan: Mussalman versus Islam • Women May Cause Implosion of Pakistan • Assault on India by a Chief Minister • India’s Biggest Scam Growing Bigger • A New Messiah in Kashmir! • AMU: Then and Now • Maoism: Crush the Head • Only Courtrooms cannot Secure India • Politician - Terrorist Alliance in India • Terrorizing Trident • Women at War with Jihadis • CAA: India has the Sacred Right to Secure its Territory • Jihadi Pakistan Riding on Corona • Trump did not Exempt Islamic Terror within India • UN can only Address Terror, not Proxy War • Victory in Modern War

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFields in Vision offers a comprehensive and analytical study of the international phenomenon of television sports coverage. Garry Whannel considers the historical development of sport on television, the growth of sponsorship and the way that television and sponsorship have re-shaped sport in the context of the enterprise culture. Drawing on archival research, Whannel first charts the development of the BBC Outside Broadcast department, and the growing battle for dominance between BBC and ITV, showing how sponsorship and the rising power of sports agents began to transform sport - not only in the UK but across the world - in the 1960s. He goes on to examine the implications of this vast and escalating global network during the 1980s by analysing the central role that stars and narratives began to play in television sport, presenting case studies of major contests such as Coe versus Ovett and Decker versus Budd. His study also takes into account one of the more indirect, but no less significant results of international televised sport - the rise of popular fitness chic and the American monopoly of the workout boom of the 1980s. Fields in Vision explains the development of television sport by linking its economic transformation with the cultural forms through which it is represented, offering a study encompassing not simply the sports world, but our relationship with television and the media industries as a whole.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWe live in an era of nation-states. Nationhood is predicated on shared sense of past and a common purpose of future. More than nation-state, India is a civilization, a complete civilization. To keep this civilization fresh and vibrant, winds from all directions are imperative for its nourishment. But, winds cannot be allowed to build into destructive storms, that threaten to uproot the civilization, the very basis of nationhood. Jihadism and Maoism are the two main destructive storms. Fueling these storms are India’s enemies as well as the forces of proselytization. They have to be crushed both at ideological and physical levels. We have been squeamish in dealing with the problems because of the misplaced notion that all ideologies are basically benign and beneficial, they are not. 73 years of our post-independence experience is testimony. This misplaced notion has caused at least a lakh lives in Kashmir alone, resulting in ethnic cleansing of Hindus from the Valley by the jihadists. Sardar Patel did crush the communist revolt in Telangana, but in the following years due to subversion of our political class, it grew into the ‘Red Corridor’, i.e. from Tirupati to Pashupati. These forces have to be vanquished to secure the internal or the third front. This book ‘Know the Anti-Nationals’ exposes these enemies within.
