Shadow in the Night Rolf A F Witzsche

The "shadow" in this hypothetical case is a Russian nuclear cruise missile launched from a fishing boat off the shore of North Carolina, USA. However, the case itself is but a shadow, too. It stands obscured deep in the swamp of imperial intentions where what appears on the surface is never real, but hides the deeper layers of strategies. By deception the real is nearly impossible to see, and to block. Winning Without Victory projects the Westphalian Principle of an active peace, the win/win principle that leaves no one vanquished but uplifts the world, where the advantage of the other is the keystone for an enriched civilization. This humanist foundation is a fit platform for meeting the Ice Age challenge, the most severe challenge in the entire history of humanity. The book presented here (Book 4) is a part of a series of selected chapters from my novel, Winning Without Victory. The multi-part series is created to highlight that Active Peace, though it is achievable, is not simplistic, but has many facets, with each being profound.
