Chess Openings for White, Explained: Winning with 1 by Lev Alburt 

Published in 2006 (and updated in a second edition in 2010), "Chess Openings for White, Explained: Winning with 1.e4" by Grandmaster Lev Alburt, GM Roman Dzindzichashvili, and GM Eugene Perelshteyn is the direct sibling to their highly successful Black repertoire manual.

While their Black book focuses on hypermodern, asymmetric setups like the Accelerated Dragon, this volume tackles the ultimate challenge: providing White with a cohesive, aggressive, and logically connected lifetime attack system starting with $1.\text{e4}$.

The Core Strategy: The King's Indian Attack & Grand Prix

Just like in their Black volume, the authors reject the idea that club players should memorize 25 moves of hyper-theoretical, shifting engine variations in the Open Sicilians or the Ruy Lopez. If you play $1.\text{e4}$, your opponent can force you into a dozen different complex defenses.

To bypass this, Alburt and his co-authors engineered a "universal attacking skeleton." The repertoire is cleverly designed so that against many of Black's trickiest defenses, White utilizes similar, highly aggressive piece setups.
