Publisher's summary
The war in Ukraine is the ultimate real-life lesson of what can happen when a country disarms its citizens.
Anti-gun zealots in the United States insist that the Second Amendment’s right to keep and bear arms is a “relic.” Try telling that to the people of Ukraine.
Ukraine never protected its citizens’ right to keep and bear arms. But as Russia was about to invade, Ukraine did a critical about-face. Ukraine’s government encouraged civilians to carry firearms to defend themselves and their country. It handed out 25,000 fully automatic weapons, while Ukrainians rushed to buy AR-15 rifles that American gun-controllers insist “no one needs.”
Did the arming of Ukraine’s civilians make a difference? You bet. Armed citizens have played a crucial role in holding off the massive Russian army. This powerful book highlights how they did it and what they did wrong.
Constitutional scholar and host of The Four Boxes Diner YouTube channel, Mark W. Smith reveals why the lessons learned in Ukraine matter to Americans, and why we must tirelessly resist all efforts to disarm us. Unless we heed Ukraine’s cautionary example, we too may pay a steep price.

In American Marxism, Mark Levin explained how Marxist ideology has invaded our society and culture. In doing so, he exposed the institutions, scholars, and activists leading the revolution. Now, he picks up where he left off: to hold responsible the true malefactors steering our country down the wrong path. Insightful and hard-hitting as ever, Levin proves that since its establishment, the Democrat Party has set out to rewrite history and destroy the foundation of freedom in America.

Many people in the West look upon the Second Sino-Japanese War, which took place in the 1930s and 1940s, as a sort of sideshow to the larger Second World War, but there is no separating the two. Imagine the Pacific War, the theater of World War II that took place in the Pacific. If the Japanese were not busy fighting on another front, they would have had millions of more troops available to fight the Americans and the British. In all likelihood, World War II would have ended the same way, but it would have taken much longer and cost that many more lives.

But The Great Reset is not a work of fiction. It is a highly influential movement among the world’s elite to “reset” the global economy using banks, government programs, and environmental, social, and governance metrics.

In 2009, Mark R. Levin galvanized conservatives with his unforgettable manifesto Liberty and Tyranny, by providing a philosophical, historical, and practical framework for halting the liberal assault on Constitution-based values. That book was about standing at the precipice of progressivism’s threat to our freedom, and now, over a decade later, we’re fully over that precipice and paying the price. In American Marxism, Levin explains how the core elements of Marxist ideology are now pervasive in American society and culture.

Story
In sobering detail, The Korean War chronicles a US home front agitated by Joseph McCarthy, where absolutist conformity discouraged open inquiry and citizen dissent. Cumings incisively ties our current foreign policy back to Korea: an America with hundreds of permanent military bases abroad, a large standing army, and a permanent national security state at home, the ultimate result of a judicious and limited policy of containment evolving into an ongoing and seemingly endless global crusade.

Rise of ISIS gives a better understanding of the modern face of terror, and provides an overview of the laws of war and war crimes. These laws differentiate between the guilty and innocent, and explain why the US military and the Israeli Defense Forces are often limited in their defensive measures. The authors’ firsthand experience, including multiple appearances before the Office of the Prosecutor, International Criminal Court at The Hague, along with direct contact battling jihadists during operation Iraqi Freedom lends insight into this important geopolitical issue.

Margaret MacMillan looks at the ways in which war has influenced human society and how, in turn, changes in political organization, technology, or ideologies have affected how and why we fight. War: How Conflict Shaped Us explores such much-debated and controversial questions as: When did war first start? Does human nature doom us to fight one another? Why has war been described as the most organized of all human activities? Why are warriors almost always men? Is war ever within our control?

Putin's Wars is a timely overview of the conflicts in which Russia has been involved since Vladimir Putin became prime minister and then president of Russia, from the First Chechen War to the two military incursions into Georgia, the annexation of Crimea and the eventual invasion of Ukraine itself. But it also looks more broadly at Putin's recreation of Russian military power and its expansion to include a range of new capabilities, from mercenaries to operatives in a relentless information war against Western powers.

Hybrid war, grey-zone warfare, unrestricted war: Today, traditional conflict - fought with guns, bombs, and drones - has become too expensive to wage, too unpopular at home, and too difficult to manage. In an age when America threatens Europe with sanctions, and when China spends billions buying influence abroad, the world is heading for a new era of permanent low-level conflict, often unnoticed, undeclared, and unending.

America in Retreat identifies a profound crisis on the global horizon. As Americans seek to withdraw from the world to tend to domestic problems, America’s adversaries spy opportunity. Vladimir Putin's ambitions to restore the glory of the czarist empire go effectively unchecked, as do China's attempts to expand its maritime claims in the South China Sea, as do Iran's efforts to develop nuclear capabilities.

Story
Since 1945, the US has justified numerous wars, interventions, and military build-ups based on the pretext of the Russian Red Menace, even after the Soviet Union collapsed at the end of 1991 and Russia stopped being Red. In fact, the two biggest post-war American conflicts, the Korean and Vietnam wars, were not, as has been frequently claimed, about stopping Soviet aggression or even influence. And now the specter of a Russian Menace has been raised again in the wake of Donald Trump's victory.

Before freedom is lost.
Fantastic! Mark W. Smith's "Hit The Nail On The Head". I highly recommend that all U.S. Citizens to read and learn from the evil events of Ukraine's War. Also to open their eyes on how the U.S. and World officials forced them to disarm. (Obama, Biden & UN) and are NOW TRYING HARD to do it to us!
Again HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO BUY AND READ. I will pass my book to others to read!
Kudos Mark W. Smith! I watch all his youtube shows.
I bought his book "First They Came For The Gun Owners " and read it next.
Americans wake up before it is too late!
GOD BLESS AMERICA

Excellent read.
Mark Smith goes through in a lot of detail about what the Ukraine war has taught us about the importance of the second amendment to the constitution – and of course the right to keep and bear arms.
I emigrated to the USA in the mid-80s from Scotland and frankly for many years could not understand the “American obsession” as I called it with weapons. However, over the years I have come to realize the importance of those rights.
I have a regular weekly zoom call with my friends back in the UK and from time to time we will discuss and debate gun control. Of course, for decades many of the folks in Europe (and including myself) had become rather smug about the lack of guns and gun violence in Europe, but more recently the debate with my friends stops dead when I point out that the Ukraine gave their citizenry the right to bear and keep arms two days after the invasion by Russia. I think Europeans also want to ignore what happened in the Balkan wars – as not really Europe (it is). In Europe there has been to many incidents of military invasion by neighbors (Balkan wars, Ukraine and never mind WW1 and WW2 etc.) to ignore.
Frankly I doubt anyone would want to invade the USA, the threat is more likely to come from a government over-reach or local violence.
It’s difficult to understand why some politicians become obsessed with gun control and why they don’t want to attack the root causes of violence and they just want to take away a citizen’s ability to protect themselves.
I listen to Mark Smiths YouTube videos on the legal side of the second amendment and his videos are probably the best of them all. He has a very incisive mind, and I can’t help but wonder if many of the judges and justices follow his logical arguments. Anyways a great book to read and understand what the Ukraine war teaches about the necessity for gun rights.

A good overview of small arms in a modern conflict
The book is a good overview of the importance and role of small arms in the Ukraine conflict. The books seeks to prove that the corollary of that importance is the second amendment in America today. I think the book does its job well but I wish it was a bit longer and went into more depth as I am one of the geeky ones who likes the boring detail. I think anyone who is a fan of Mark’s YouTube content should enjoy the read or the listen in this case. When you are used to what the author’s voice sounds like it’s a little strange hearing the narration by someone else but the narration is well done.

Informative.
This book should be handed out to Congress. Read to the president until he clearly understands what he’s going against. And to anti-2A groups so that they understand how shortsighted they are.

A cautionary tale for America.
Ukraine has been a testing ground for many things, yet has been ground down into "trench warfare" once again. It has basically been a study in what not to do; watched a Ukrainian soldier on YT shoulder a RPG and fire it, didn't have a good outcome.
The most important lesson is what the title of this (audio) book alludes to; that should the Ukrainian citizens have had the Right to bear arms then the Russian government might have had pause to invade, or if they had the initial battles would have been even more so in favor of the defenders.
