La defensa siempre ha sido el guardián de lo que valoramos y el parapeto de lo que tememos perder. Desde murallas antiguas hasta algoritmos cifrados, su esencia no solo es reactiva ante el peligro, sino predictiva y preventiva. Hoy, la inteligencia artificial refuerza ese impulso humano: amplifica la percepcion, acelera las decisiones y protege tanto activos materiales como vidas. Con mirada critica y multidisciplinar, este libro explora como la IA se convierte en un aliado no solo en el terreno militar, sino en la construccion de significado frente a la amenaza. Recalca la vaguedad del termino, aunque directo e intuitivo, revela sus impactos politicos, economicos y sociales, y plantea las tensiones entre regulacion, poder y vulnerabilidad. Mas que una nueva tecnologia, la IA es el paradigma semantico de nuestro tiempo, una suerte de incorreccion terminologica que moviliza la economia y el negocio. Aunque en el ambito de la defensa esta presente desde hace medio siglo, su capacidad actual presenta dilemas eticos que nos obligan a repensar que defendemos, por que, como y hasta donde estaremos dispuestos a ceder.Una obra exhaustiva sobre la IA en defensa que abarca su evolucion historica, sus aplicaciones militares y sus implicaciones geoestrategicas y geopoliticas, asi como los distintos enfoques eticos y regulatorios internacionales.Enrique Martin Romero es CEO de una de las empresas tecnologicas de seguridad y defensa mas importanyes. Angel Gomez es un oficial español en la reserva, doctor en ingenieria y especialista en analisis geopolitico.

Primera monografía en español sobre el emperador Domiciano (24 octubre del 51-18 septiembre del 96 d.C.), tercer y último emperador romano de la dinastía flavia. En su tiempo, y luego según la tradicion romana, Domiciano pasa por ser un mal emperador; de ahi se produjese inmediatamente despues de su muerte una damnatio memoriae (el borrado de su memoria, rompiendo sus imagenes y martillando su nombre de los monumentos publicos). Este estudio pretende reivindicar su gobierno, que tuvo muchos aspectos positivos, poniendo el acento en un aspecto nuevo de la politica y del sentido que este emperador da a su reinado. Aporta algunas claves para ilustrar lo que la autora denomina la transformacion del Principado al Dominado, un concepto este (el de emperador como Dominus) caracteristico de tiempos posteriores.

ocos políticos pueden presumir de haber sido coherentes en sus acciones y sus ideas. De haber predicado con el ejemplo, hasta el extremo de ir a combatir al frente como simples soldados. Aunque tambien pocos han pasado del mas exaltado patriotismo a la completa traicion a su pais. De las promesas de lealtad a la corona y a la Iglesia, a aceptar la invasion y desaparicion de su patria, y a provocar de forma activa una excomunion eclesiastica.Sin mitos ni prejuicios, esta biografia sobre Leon Degrelle cubre tanto la evolucion de sus ideas como de las acciones con las que las respaldaba. Desde su ascenso en el partido Catolico a su ruptura, con la fundacion del movimiento Rex. De la adopcion del llamado Nuevo Orden de Hitler, a su comportamiento como militar, propagandista y reclutador para el frente de soldados belgas, franceses y españoles. De sus ofrecimientos para servir como soldado antes de la invasion de la URSS, a sus ultimos intentos para participar de forma activa en la ofensiva de las Ardenas.Esta biografia cubre tambien aspectos ineditos de su exilio en España, aclarando los detalles de su accidentada llegada; la gestacion de la nada firme idea de la concesion del asilo, y una nueva perspectiva con documentos ineditos sobre los distintos planes que tuvo de secuestro. Tambien los poco publicitados problemas que sufrio en los años finales del franquismo. Y, con la democracia, su nuevo resurgimiento como hijo adoptivo de Hitler, hasta sus ultimas batallas en los tribunales. Su figura fue crucial en la hora del renacimiento de la extrema derecha tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Y hoy es reivindicada por corrientes que nada tienen en comun, excepto su persona.Esta biografia ofrece al lector una vision completa de un hombre cuya existencia se desarrollo entre la notoriedad, el escandalo y el exilio, y cuya historia refleja las luces y sombras de un siglo turbulento.
