Saturday Snippet: Wizardry, ships and swords
Christian Cameron has written some of the finest historical fiction on the market today. Under the pseudonym Miles Cameron, he's also produced some of the very best fantasy I've had the privilege of reading. I have all his books, and re-read them regularly, which is the highest recommendation I can give them. His Masters and Mages fantasy trilogy is captivating. I find myself re-reading it at least once every year, and sometimes more often. It's a thrilling blend of historically recognizable threads, woven by a master storyteller into something greater than the sum of their... read more

As Formidable As China's Army Is, It's Missing One Crucial Thing*David Axe* *Chinese Army, Asia* The PLA has few personnel with firsthand combat experience. *Here's What You Need to Remember*: At the time, the Vietnamese military was still fresh from its defeat of U.S. and allied forces in the early 1970s. The Chinese Communist Party, by contrast, had gutted its own armed forces through politically motivated purges. The Chinese military has almost no combat experience, analyst Timothy Heath wrote for the California think-tank RAND. But that inexperience might not matter very much, Heath explained. “Today, China's military has an increasingly... read more

Attention Parents: Six Months of Child ‘Stimulus Payments’ are Coming*Trevor Filseth* *Child Tax Credit Guide, * Rather than simply allow parents to claim the tax credit as a discount when filing in April, as had previously been the standard practice, the new legislation mandated that the IRS proactively send the credit out in the form of checks and direct deposits. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The first payment is scheduled to go out on July 15.

Russia's Kiev-Class Aircraft Carriers: Built to Kill Anything*Kyle Mizokami* *Aircraft Carrier, Europe* The problem of Soviet power projection became obvious during the Cuban Missile Crisis when the Soviet Navy had no long-range striking forces it could send to meet the U.S. naval blockade of Cuba. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The Kiev-class carriers were an ambitious attempt to give Russia a powerful ship capable of taking on American aircraft carriers while at the same time hunting down submarines that posed a threat to the Soviet homeland.
