Space Race: The Epic Battle Between America and the Soviet Union for Dominion of SpaceIn many ways, the tensions of the Cold War were epitomized by the struggle for dominance in outer space. But for decades we only knew part of the story of this clash between the United States and the Soviet Union. That all changed after the downfall of Communism, when decades of formerly classified files unmasked the true heroes and villains behind one of the most exciting and frightening races in history.

In many ways, the tensions of the Cold War were epitomized by the struggle for dominance in outer space. But for decades we only knew part of the story of this clash between the United States and the Soviet Union. That all changed after the downfall of Communism, when decades of formerly classified files unmasked the true heroes and villains behind one of the most exciting -- and frightening -- races in history.
Historian Deborah Cadbury brings this tale to life in a fascinating story that takes a behind-the-scenes look at both superpowers. At the center of Space Race are Werner von Braun, the media-friendly former Nazi scientist who led the American rocket design team, and Sergei Korolev, the chief Soviet designer and former political prisoner whose identity was a closely guarded state secret. Cadbury has unearthed many documents that were previously unknown, even to the Soviet government, to tell a story that is sure to rewrite the history of space exploration. Deborah Cadbury is an Emmy award-winning science producer for BBC TV. She is also the highly-acclaimed author of The Lost King of France, Terrible Lizard: The First Dinosaur Hunters and Dreams of Iron and Steel. " A] wonderfully written account of the Cold War dash to the Moon ... Cadbury skillfully weaves together politics, technology and biographical detail to produce a gripping tale of the moves, countermoves, bluffs and intrigues that defined this ruthless struggle." -- Slava Gerovitch, Moscow Times--Kirkus Reviews (starred)Binding Type: Paperback

4.5 Stars - Highly Recommend- Will Buy Copies for My Kids
Format: Paperback
I was torn between 4 and 5 stars, because this book is very good. The pay no taxes part of the book is a solid 5 stars. However, I was much more interested in the buy, borrow, die strategies. Those strategies are good, including a fairly thorough explanation and use cases. But there wasn't enough explanation of the long-term handling of the debt and the possibility of margin calls. If you leverage 50% of your portfolio and the market goes down 30 to 35%, which does happen, you can quickly get in trouble. Many of the current ETFs that pay high dividends haven't been around long enough to go through a 30 - 35% market drop, so it's difficult to accurately predict how they'll perform. Of course, if you don't overleverage, the chances of a margin call are much lower, even if the market tanks.
Also, the book says to invest in assets you can borrow against, including stock, ETFs, real estate, crypto, and gold/silver. On the surface, this is a good strategy. While you can borrow against these things, borrowing against precious metals carries a higher interest rate (though I'm sure if you have tens of millions, you can find better rates, but most people don't have that much), and borrowing against crypto is dangerous. Hopefully crypto will become better protected, but right now, the company lending you money against your crypto can just run off with your crypto. It has happened.
The reason I rated the book 4 stars instead of 5 is solely because I'm more interested in buy, borrow, die than the tax coverage. If I bought the book for the tax avoidance, it would be a 5.
Overall, I highly recommend the book. I'm going to buy a copy for both of my children, who are in their 20's.

Informative process, with examples and suggestions!
Format: Paperback
Easy to read book on Buy, Borrow, Die method to build wealth for yourself and future generations. I learned enough that I bought the other books from Mark. His writing is comfortable, chapters are divided up nicely, and they are short enough that you can read one in just a few min (important for us people that get interrupted every 10 min).

Zero taxes = zero country
Format: Paperback
Suppose every American was able to pay no taxes. What would happen? Seems reasonable that everyone should pay something to enjoy America’s freedom. It’s reasonable that we take advantage of tax laws but not to the point where no one pays taxes.

Teach this to your family!
Format: Paperback
Great easy book to read and follow. A lot of similarities from another ecosystem I’ve educated myself on.
However this system Mark Quann spells out and holds your hand as he describes the step by step process of implementation…makes it so easy to understand.
I’m 60 and no one has ever taught how simple it is to save grow tax free like this and it’s legal!!!
Thanks Mark
Look forward to your next book on digital assets and AI autonomously making us money while we sleep🎉
