Book excerpt: Kaled Del Danaal III, summoned from undeserved exile to claim his father's throne, discovers he has inherited a realm on the brink of financial and moral collapse. Vasi-Kedar is impoverished beyond his imagination. When he discovers the nobles and governors had taken advantage of his father's untimely death to enact a tax law that further oppresses the poor, Kaled dares to take action so audacious that the nobles are rocked to their core. From the onset of his administration, he is opposed by the nobles, who fear their privileged lifestyle is in jeopardy. Having walked his city with his young queen, and both seeing the extreme poverty of his people, Kaled begins to implement a vision of restoration that is extraordinary in its scope.After aprolonged effort, Kaled finally secures an opportunity to negotiate a possible trade agreement and treaty with a neighboring wealthy realm that could give Vasi-Kedar's economy the boost it needs to stagger to its feet. Kaled must ltravel to Medera for the negotiations, aware that his long absence opens a door for his ambitious half brother to make a bid for the throne, and leaves his wife and son vulnerable. Afraid to take any loyal soldiers with him, he embarks on his perilous mission with a company of civilian men who had been trained in warfare by retired captain Robert Elderson, Kaled's childhood mentor and godfather. He is not aware when he begins his journey that someone else is watching, ready to make a lethal move against him.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is January of 1879. While three columns of British soldiers and their African allies cross the uMzinyathi River to commence the invasion of the Zulu Kingdom, a handful of redcoats from B Company, 2/24th Regiment are left to guard the centre column's supply depot at Rorke's Drift. On the morning of 22 January, the main camp at Isandlwana, just ten miles to the east, comes under attack from the entire Zulu army and is utterly destroyed. Four thousand warriors from King Cetshwayo's elite Undi Corps remained in reserve and were denied any chance to take part in the fighting. Led by Prince Dabulamanzi, they disobey the king's orders and cross into British Natal, seeking their share in triumph and spoils. They soon converge on Rorke's Drift; an easy prize, with its paltry force of 150 redcoats to be readily swept aside. Upon hearing of the disaster at Isandlwana, and with retreat impossible, the tiny British garrison readies to receive the coming onslaught. Leading them is Lieutenant John Chard, a newly-arrived engineer officer with no actual combat experience. Aiding him is B Company's previously undistinguished officer commanding, Lieutenant Gonville Bromhead, along with 24-year old Colour Sergeant Frank Bourne, and a retired soldier-turned civilian volunteer named James Dalton. Unbeknownst to either the British or the Zulus, half of the centre column, under Lord Chelmsford's direct command, was not even at Isandlwana, but fifteen miles further east, at Mangeni Falls. However, with a huge Zulu force of over twenty-thousand warriors between them and the drift, their ammunition and ration stores taken or destroyed, and an impossible distance to cover, Chelmsford's battered column cannot possibly come to the depot's aid, and must look to their own survival. The defenders of Rorke's Drift stand alone.

Book excerpt: Kaled and his company, upon entering Medera with a Mederan military escort, leave behind their mysterious watchers, and find themselves facing new challenges.Having met and befriended Aron, the crown prince of Medera, Kaled approaches the negotiations with Aman with cautious hope. Those hopes are dashed from the onset. Aman's tactics prove to be brutal and affective, causing Kaled to wonder if his dangerous trek across the Flatbush was in vain. He sets Bret Baraal to the task of searching through the small library in his suite for any information that may assist him in the negotiations, but there appears to be little hope there.Hawke Baraal, true to his volatile nature, has no difficulty finding trouble in Medera. Having befriended Rush Soren, a Mederan lieutenant, he finally finds direction for his future. He sets his sights on becoming a member of Kaled's Royal Guard, but is all too aware that his own contentious nature is his greatest stumbling block in achieving such a lofty and disciplined position. He determines he will have to overcome his faults and prove himself to Kaled and Captain Elderson.As Aman makes negotiants nearly impossible, Aron reveals to Kaled a secret his father would prefer remain hidden, raising Aman's ire. Kaled, finally understanding his only hope for success, sends Bret and Corporal Leeds on a vital return mission to Vasi-Kedar, unaware of the peril into which they will be riding.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is December 1878 and war looms on the horizon in South Africa. British High Commissioner Sir Henry Bartle-Frere and Lt. General Frederic Augustus Thesiger, Baron Chelmsford seek to dismantle the powerful neighbouring kingdom of the Zulus. He and Frere are convinced that a quick victory over the Zulus will negate any repercussions from the home government for launching what is, in essence, an illegal war. Using an incursion along the disputed border as justification for war, Frere issues an ultimatum to the Zulu king, Cetshwayo, demanding he disband his armies and pay reparations. The king prepares his nation for war against their former allies. Recently arrived to South Africa are newly-recruited Privates Arthur Wilkinson and Richard Lowe; members of C Company, 1/24th Regiment of Foot. Eager for adventure, they are prepared to do their duty both for the Empire and for their friends. As Frere's ultimatum expires, the army of British redcoats and allied African auxiliaries crosses the uMzinyathi River into Zululand. Ten days later, the British and Zulus will meet their destiny at the base of a mountain called Isandlwana.

Book excerpt: A haunting examination of groupthink and mass hysteria in a rural community The place is Salem, Massachusetts, in 1692, an enclave of rigid piety huddled on the edge of a wilderness. Its inhabitants believe unquestioningly in their own sanctity. But in Arthur Miller's edgy masterpiece, that very belief will have poisonous consequences when a vengeful teenager accuses a rival of witchcraft—and then when those accusations multiply to consume the entire village. First produced in 1953, at a time when America was convulsed by a new epidemic of witch-hunting, The Crucible brilliantly explores the threshold between individual guilt and mass hysteria, personal spite and collective evil. It is a play that is not only relentlessly suspenseful and vastly moving but that compels readers to fathom their hearts and consciences in ways that only the greatest theater ever can.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In late January 1879, following news of the terrible disaster to befall British forces at Isandlwana, Colonel Henry Evelyn Wood, commanding officer of the northern No. 4 Column, withdraws his forces to Khambula, near the Natal and Transvaal borders. Adding to their woes, the southern No. 1 Column finds itself trapped under siege at the abandoned mission station of Eshowe. The General Officer Commanding, Lord Chelmsford, orders Wood to continue harassing the Zulus, keeping the pressure off their central and southern forces while he rallies reinforcements to relieve Eshowe. In light of the disaster at Isandlwana, Wood knows he must temper aggression with caution, as he does not have the numbers necessary to face the entire Zulu amabutho.Facing the British in the north are the semi-autonomous abaQulusi tribe and their venerable ally, an exiled Swazi prince named Mbilini. A master of guerrilla warfare, Mbilini harries the British invaders relentlessly while awaiting reinforcements from the Zulu king, Cetshwayo. Fifty miles to the east, at the royal kraal of Ulundi, Cetshwayo's triumphant albeit terribly bloodied regiments return home to take in the harvest following their victory at Isandlwana. The king's subsequent overtures of peace are soundly rebuffed by Lord Chelmsford, and he knows he must soon summon his regiments once again. With shouts of 'We are the boys of Isandlwana!' the Zulus turn their attention north, seeking to join with Mbilini and send another British invasion column to oblivion.

This book was released on 2021-09-09 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This timely and expansive biography of Wole Soyinka, the Nigerian writer, Nobel laureate, and social activist, shows how the author's early years influence his life's work and how his writing, in turn, informs his political engagement. Three sections spanning his life, major texts, and place in history, connect Soyinka's legacy with global issues beyond the borders of his own country, and indeed beyond the African continent. Covering his encounters with the widespread rise of kleptocratic rule and international corporate corruption, his reflection on the human condition of the North-South divide, and the consequences of postcolonialism, this comprehensive biography locates Wole Soyinka as a global figure whose life and works have made him a subject of conversation in the public sphere, as well as one of Africa's most successful and popular authors. Looking at the different forms of Soyinka's work--plays, novels, and memoirs, among others--this volume argues that Soyinka used writing to inform, mobilize, and sometimes incite civil action, in a decades-long attempt at literary social engineering.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume on Norman Italy (southern Italy and Sicily, c. 1000–1200) honours and reflects the pioneering scholarship of Graham A. Loud. An international group of scholars reassesses and recasts the paradigm by which Norman Italy has been conventionally understood, addressing varied subjects across four key themes: historiographies, identities and communities, religion and Church, and conquest. The chapters revise and refine our understanding of Norman Italy in the eleventh and twelfth centuries, demonstrating that it was not just a parochial Norman or Mediterranean entity but also an integral player in the medieval mainstream.

This book was released on 2015-02-26 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role of human sacrifice in the ancient Mediterranean world and its implications continue to be topics that fire the popular imagination and engender scholarly discussion and controversy. This volume provides balanced and judicious treatments of the various facets of these topics from a cross-disciplinary and cross-cultural perspective. It provides nuanced examinations of ancient ritual, exploring the various meanings that human sacrifice held for antiquity, and examines its varied repercussions up into the modern world. The book explores evidence to shed new light on the origins of the rite, to whom these sacrifices were offered, and by whom they were performed. It presents fresh insights into the social and religious meanings of this practice in its varied biblical landscape and ancient contexts, and demonstrates how human sacrifice has captured the imagination of later writers who have employed it in diverse cultural and theological discourses to convey their own views and ideologies. It provides valuable perspectives for understanding key cultural, theological and ideological dimensions, such as the sacrifice of Christ, scapegoating,self-sacrifice and martyrdom in post-biblical and modern times.
