The Flame Of The West
In The Lord of the Rings, J.R.R. Tolkien bestowed the name “Anduril” on the sword of Aragorn in his fight against darkness and evil.
Tolkien wrote that “Anduril” can be translated from Elvish as “The Flame of the West.” Bill Whittle says It’s no coincidence that a new, start-up defense company also calls itself Anduril. But as Whittle points out, the real Flame of the West is much deeper and more profound than mere weaponry.
Whittle and his “Right Angle” colleagues, Scott Ott and Stephen Green, explain further.
