Oh I see, I didn’t realise that was all of it. Would be interesting to read “Search for Survival” as well.

Or you could, considering it’s the same PDF our host linked to above. It seems pretty widely distributed at this point (which makes the Glubb family’s attempts to take it down merely frustratingly stupid).

Rollory, perhaps you could upload it to libgen?

Oh, they’re probably afraid of Glubb being called a “racist” or some crap like that. Of course, since he was involved with British colonialism, he’d be called that even if he had committed suicide to atone for his colonialist past, and left the family fortune to the NAACP, so why worry about it?

That was certainly the impression I got. As far as I can tell there is no legit and easy way to obtain it. The overwhelming lesson of DRM in music and video games is that the public will pay nominal fees in preference to piracy, in exchange for convenience and customer-friendly packaging and delivery. The Baen Free Library demonstrated pretty much the same thing (although too many of the authors involved have since gotten greedy at the sight of ebook royalties, which just means the lesson didn’t register). But as far as I can tell the Glubb family simply do not want this being read, and if that impression is wrong, they’ve neither done nor said nothing to indicate the contrary.

It does make you wonder, what is it that they want? To bury it?

By the way, apparently Glubb's family object for some unexplained reason to having his Fate of Empires republished all over the place. The original place I came across it had to take it down due to a lawyergram. Luckily I had saved it already. Being the sort of person I am and having the view I do of that sort of behavior, I'll be re-uploading it if and when necessary. The piece is too important to hide.

The other Armada was an English defeat I'm sure Brit kids never learn.
