Book Synopsis Hero or Tyrant? Henry III, King of France, 1574-89 by : Robert J. Knecht
Download or read book Hero or Tyrant? Henry III, King of France, 1574-89 written by Robert J. Knecht and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-22 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: King Henry III of France has not suffered well at the hands of posterity. Generally depicted as at best a self-indulgent, ineffectual ruler, and at worst a debauched tyrant responsible for a series of catastrophic political blunders, his reputation has long been a poor one. Yet recent scholarship has begun to question the validity of this judgment and look for a more rounded assessment of the man and his reign. For, as this new biography of Henry demonstrates, there is far more to this fascinating monarch than the pantomime villain depicted by previous generations of historians and novelists. Based upon a rich and diverse range of primary sources, this book traces Henry’s life from his birth in 1551, the sixth child of Henri II and Catherine de’ Medici. It following his upbringing as the Wars of Religion began to tear France apart, his election as king of Poland in 1573, and his assumption of the French crown a year later following the death of his brother Charles IX. The first English-language biography of Henry for over 150 years, this study thoroughly and dispassionately reassesses his life in light of recent scholarship and in the context of broader European diplomatic, political and religious history. In so doing the book not only provides a more nuanced portrait of the monarch himself, but also helps us better understand the history of France during this traumatic time.

Book Synopsis Goodbye Poland by : MR Stefan B Maczka
Download or read book Goodbye Poland written by MR Stefan B Maczka and published by Skinnybirdproductions. This book was released on 2014-10-24 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stefan Maczka's father, (also Stefan), was a cavalry officer who fought victoriously in possibly the last and greatest cavalry battle of the preceding one hundred years, the 'Miracle of the Vistula'. It was the final victory in the Russian/Polish War of 1920. He was one of nine thousand former soldiers rewarded with a plot of land in the reclaimed borderlands. Stalin never forgot that humiliating defeat. Stefan B. was born in 1922 just over two years later. Life was hard in those early years; the military settlers had to defend their borders against invasion by armed bands from Russia, crossing into Poland from the east. By 1937, the rewards of hard work were paying off, and life was beginning to get easier... Then came the war, and Stalin's revenge on the military settlers he so bitterly despised for their victory over Soviet forces twenty years earlier. Rounded up, they were uprooted from their homes, put on cattle trucks, and forcibly deported to the frozen and inhospitable wastes of Siberia. Goodbye Poland is one man's account of his journey into adversity at the age of just seventeen. Written exactly as he spoke, his accent comes through loud and clear, in this inspirational story of stoicism, and survival against the odds.
