Winning the Unwinnable War is a provocative new book from the Ayn Rand Institute that offers principled and compelling answers to the problems and confusions that plague American foreign policy. Years after 9/11 and in the shadow of two protracted U.S. military campaigns in the Middle East, the enemy is not only undefeated but emboldened and resurgent. What went wrong—and what should we do going forward?

Atlas Shrugged
By Ayn Rand
The incomparable novel about the men of the mind on strike against the creed of self-sacrifice.
Ayn Rand’s epochal novel, first published in 1957, has been a continual bestseller as well as an intellectual landmark. It is the story of a man who said that he would stop the motor of the world—and did. Was he a destroyer or the greatest of liberators? Why did he have to fight his battle, not against his enemies but against those who needed him most—and his hardest battle against the woman he loved? What is the world’s motor—and the motive power of every man?
Tremendous in its scope, this novel presents an astounding panorama of human life—from the productive genius who becomes a worthless playboy, to the great steel industrialist who does not know that he is working for his own destruction, to the philosopher who becomes a pirate, to the composer who gives up his career on the night of his triumph, to the woman who runs a transcontinental railroad, to the lowest track worker in her Terminal tunnels.
Peopled by larger-than-life heroes and villains, charged with towering questions of good and evil, Atlas Shrugged is Ayn Rand’s masterpiece. It is a philosophical revolution told in the form of an action thriller.
