E.M. Burlingame: Author &
Writer
Dive into the world of E.M. Burlingame, a former Silicon valley serial entrepreneur and seasoned analyst in investing, finance and intelligence, turned Green Beret and medical researcher, whose books—like The Eternal War, Financialist Kill Chain, This Our English Civilisation, and The Art of Being a Man—weave experience and insights from special operations, global business ventures with neuroscience and a foundation in electrical and computational engineering to challenge our interpretations of history and who we are in the modern mind.
My Latest Books
Drawing directly from hands on life experiences, I've authored a collection of books that weave themes of leadership, unconventional warfare, personal resilience, and hidden geopolitical struggles, offering readers a lens to navigate the complexities of modern existence with strategic wisdom and moral clarity. My latest works include "The Art of Being a Man," reflecting on masculinity and self-mastery; "Financialist Kill Chain," analyzing long-standing economic aggressions and their societal impacts; "A Modern Knight's Guidebook," providing timeless martial principles adapted for the present day; and "Men's Scars, Women's Wars," which contemplates philosophical dynamics amid broader human conflicts. Through these titles, I've carefully articulated a philosophy that emphasizes adaptability, ethical fortitude, and the eternal interplay between individual agency and collective destiny, urging a deeper contemplation of one's role in an ever-contested world.

The Next Book I'm Writing
In the crumbling forge of a decaying empire, young men stand as the tempered steel spine of civilization—raw, restless guardians whose loss spells societal fracture and oblivion. The Forge of Sons, is an unflinching new manifesto (following on from The Art of Being a Man and As Rome Burns), that dissects the engineered erosion of our boys through cultural lies, radicalizing vultures, and stolen legacies of duty and strength, drawing from war's frontlines, modern despair, and ancient fatherhood codes. Far from lament, it's a battle cry and blueprint: fathers reclaim rites, mentors forge spirits, and sons seize flames to rebuild unbreakable brotherhoods—reject deceit, embrace truth and courage, or watch the tyranny crash forever. Essential for warriors and seekers, arriving winter 2025: preserve them, or everything is lost.
