This book was released on 2024-10-29 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are thousands of books about England, on the one hand, and Greece, on the other, but none which looks specifically and critically at the story of the relationship between the two countries and their peoples, and in particular at how England has influenced modern Greece, not always to the latter's benefit. This book has been written by a former British diplomat with a Greek mother and English father, who has lived for the last thirty years in Greece. The book gives a true picture of the good, the bad and the ugly, warts and all, up until today, despite the efforts of various party-politically influenced academics and officials to play down embarrassing facts which do not fit their agenda. The book will appeal to discerning tourists as well as to international historians, Anglophiles and Hellenophiles, and will inject more transparency into the story, in order to rock the boat of apathy, rather than paper over the cracks, and thus promote and improve relations between these two great–or at least once great–countries.

Book excerpt: Prepare to be captivated by the extraordinary tale of Hassan-i Sabbah, one of the most enigmatic and controversial figures in Islamic history. Born in the 11th century in the Persian city of Qom, Hassan-i Sabbah's life was a tapestry woven with threads of religious fervor, political intrigue, and strategic brilliance. As the founder of the Nizari Ismaili state and the legendary order of the Assassins, Hassan-i Sabbah left an indelible mark on the medieval Islamic world. From his impregnable fortress at Alamut, he challenged the might of the Seljuk Empire and the Abbasid Caliphate, defying their power with a combination of military prowess, covert operations, and ideological zeal. But Hassan-i Sabbah was more than just a master strategist and political operator. He was also a man of deep learning and piety, steeped in the esoteric teachings of Ismaili Shia Islam. His vision of a just and equitable society, guided by the wisdom of the Imam, inspired a devoted following that would endure for centuries after his death. In this meticulously researched and richly narrated biography, we delve into the complex and often contradictory world of Hassan-i Sabbah, exploring the many facets of his character and the profound impact of his legacy. From his early years as a promising scholar in Qom to his fateful encounter with the Ismaili da'i in Egypt, and from his audacious seizure of Alamut to his final days as the revered Old Man of the Mountain, we trace the remarkable journey of a man who shaped the course of history. Through a vivid and engaging narrative, we explore the social, political, and religious landscape of the 11th and 12th centuries, a time of great upheaval and transformation in the Islamic world. We meet the many remarkable figures who played a role in Hassan-i Sabbah's story, from his arch-nemesis Nizam al-Mulk to his devoted lieutenant Kiya Buzurg-Ummid, and from the Seljuk sultans and Abbasid caliphs to the Crusader knights and Byzantine emperors. At the heart of this book is a nuanced and compelling portrait of Hassan-i Sabbah himself, a man of brilliant intellect, iron will, and unwavering conviction. Neither a saint nor a devil, but a complex and fascinating human being, Hassan-i Sabbah emerges from these pages as a figure of enduring relevance and power, a man whose ideas and actions continue to resonate across the centuries. Whether you are a student of Islamic history, a lover of gripping historical narratives, or simply someone who is fascinated by the great personalities and events that have shaped our world, this book is sure to inform, entertain, and inspire. Join us on a journey into the heart of one of the most remarkable and consequential chapters in the history of the Middle East and beyond, and discover the extraordinary life and times of Hassan-i Sabbah, the enigmatic master of Alamut.

Book excerpt: REINCARNATION...HERETICAL BUT INEVITABLE In 553 AD, Justinian I, the sanctimonious ruler of the decaying Roman Empire, held Pope Vigilius prisoner until the church leader consented to sign the decrees of the imperial Council of Constantinople. So, with the stroke of the papal pen, anyone who believed in the ancient doctrine that souls existed before the present body's birth or reincarnated after its death were declared anathema; that is, excommunicated and subject to persecution. This little-know historical fact has prejudiced the western world against reincarnation right up to the present. In 1879, Richard Strawn, a Philadelphia businessman disowned by his Quaker brethren for serving in the Civil War as a medic, has to come to terms with his teenage daughter Jennifers conviction that she was once a fabulous queen and he, her partner, the king, or concur with his wife, Lucinda, that the girl is dangerously insane.Burying his head by day in work and at night at the pubs, he defers the decision, betting that time will either cure Jennifer's fantasies or soften Lucinda's intransigence. Then, just when a truce appears to be holding between mother and daughter, nightmarish events erupt around Richard. A fire destroys the business he manages, and he is blamed. He escapes town, drunk and despondent, only to be pursued by a dream in which he is indeed a king, but a cowardly one about to capitulate to a revolting faction.Lucinda takes advantage of his absence to have Jennifer committed to an asylum. With luck, which materializes as randomly as misfortune, Richard rescues the girl. In the quiet place he takes her to recover, she too dreams of the revolt against them as royal rulers long ago. Compelled by such coincidence, the two sometimes in tandem, sometimes in oppositionset out to discover what binds them to the ill-fated 6th-century emperor, Justinian, and his empress, Theodora. Her recent efforts to undermine her husband and daughter foiled, Lucinda ferrets out their mission. After identifying herself with a powerful and destructive sorceress in the imperial story, she plots to use similar magic to destroy the reincarnated pair, thus proving to them and to all who would meddle with the dead that history indeed repeats itself, and there is nothing that can be done to stop it.THE ANATHEMAS weaves the religious controversy about reincarnation into a multi-lifetime saga of conspiracy, redemption and ultimately love. A novel, yet it is firmly based on history, notably Procopius's Secret History and Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. With the pace of a thriller, it portrays the essentially spiritual adventure of man and woman coming face-to-face with the life-and-death experience.FROM READERS TO THE AUTHORI am convinced THE ANATHEMAS should be on the shelves next to Dan Brown. The characters morphed into family members in my dreams at night and invaded my thoughts during the day. Now thats a good book! L.B., OregonI got engrossed in the book...and lost my weekend! I am assuming you imbedded the facts you found researching the story accurately. I mean to say, I can use it as a sort of history lesson? In that case, I learned quite a bit. Interesting and thought-provoking. N.B. FloridaYour text is not only erudite but exceedingly engaging. I usually only have time to pleasure read in the evening before lights out and I must say you have made me resist sleep with your text. S.B., Quebec, Canada

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gripping, deeply researched, and authoritative, the history of one of the closest intelligence and security relationships in the world The Special Relationship between the United States and Britain is touted by politicians when it suits their purpose and, as frequently, dismissed as myth, not least by the media. Yet the truth is that the two countries are bound together more closely than either is to any other ally. In The Real Special Relationship, Michael Smith reveals how it all began, eighty years ago, when a top-secret visit by four American codebreakers to Bletchley Park in February 1941—ten months before the US entered World War II—marked the start of a close collaboration between the intellitence services of the two nations. When that war ended and the Cold War began, both sides recognized that the way they worked together to decode German and Japanese ciphers could be used to counter the Soviet threat. They laid the foundation for the behind-the-scenes intelligence sharing that has continued—despite rivalries among the services and occasional political conflict and public disputes between the two nations—through the collapse of the Soviet Union, 9/11, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and to the threats of the present moment. Smith, who served in British military intelligence, brings together a fascinating range of characters, from Winston Churchill and Ian Fleming to John F. Kennedy, Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, and Edward Snowden. Supported by in-depth interviews and a broad range of personal contacts in the intelligence community, he takes the reader into the workings of MI6, the CIA, the NSA, and all those who strive to keep us safe. Sir John Scarlett, former chief of MI6, has written the introduction, and Michael Hayden, former director of the CIA and the NSA, has provided the foreword.
