This book was released on 2015-06-16 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Black Avenger of the Spanish Main, or the Fiend of Blood: A Story This story, striking, terrible and bloody as are many of its incidents, is founded on historical fact. Its hero was in his day the terror of tl»«* seas whereon lie sailed, and the dread of all the coast of Spanish America; so much so, that if a Spanish mother wished to frighten a refractory child into obedience, she had but to couple her threats with the name of 'Francisco Solonois El Pirato Pernicioso!' 'Death to the Spaniards! was hit battle about - death to the Spaniards, seemed his only thought, aim and desire. Even now, at Chagres, along the Spanish Main, and in the Carribean isles, utter but his name and the women in holy horror will cross themselves, and murmur as they shudder and turn pale - 'Santa Maria guardme!' while the men, remembering his prowess and bloody cruelties, will breathe a malediction against his spirit. The likeness winch adorns this work, we have procured from an engraving published in his own time, and it is supposed to be very accurate. It almost speaks his character. In the cold haughtiness of his look, in the firm compression of the chiselled lip, in each stern lineament, you can rend the man who knew not mercy, whose heart was as hard as his iron will, which always bent man, ay, and even circumstances to his pleasure. But if the reader would know more of him and his terrible character, he must trace our pen through the following pages.

Book Synopsis Disaster on the Spanish Main by : Craig S. Chapman
Download or read book Disaster on the Spanish Main written by Craig S. Chapman and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2021-10 with total page 533 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disaster on the Spanish Main unveils and illuminates an overlooked yet remarkable episode of European and American military history and a land-sea venture to seize control of the Spanish West Indies that ended in ghastly failure. Thirty-four years before the Battles of Lexington and Concord, a significant force of American soldiers deployed overseas for the first time in history. Colonial volunteers, 4,000 strong, joined 9,000 British soldiers and 15,000 British sailors in a bold amphibious campaign against the key port of Cartagena de Indias. From its first chapter, Disaster on the Spanish Main reveals a virtually unknown adventure, engrosses with the escalating conflict, and leaves the reader with an appreciation for the struggles and sacrifices of the 13,000 soldiers, sailors, and marines who died trying to conquer part of Spain's New World empire. Disaster on the Spanish Main breaks new ground on the West Indies expedition in style, scope, and perspective and uncovers the largely untold American side of the story.

Book Synopsis Conquistadores by : Fernando Cervantes
Download or read book Conquistadores written by Fernando Cervantes and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2021-09-14 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sweeping, authoritative history of 16th-century Spain and its legendary conquistadors, whose ambitious and morally contradictory campaigns propelled a small European kingdom to become one of the formidable empires in the world “The depth of research in this book is astonishing, but even more impressive is the analytical skill Cervantes applies. . . . [He] conveys complex arguments in delightfully simple language, and most importantly knows how to tell a good story.” —The Times (London) Over the few short decades that followed Christopher Columbus's first landing in the Caribbean in 1492, Spain conquered the two most powerful civilizations of the Americas: the Aztecs of Mexico and the Incas of Peru. Hernán Cortés, Francisco Pizarro, and the other explorers and soldiers that took part in these expeditions dedicated their lives to seeking political and religious glory, helping to build an empire unlike any the world had ever seen. But centuries later, these conquistadors have become the stuff of nightmares. In their own time, they were glorified as heroic adventurers, spreading Christian culture and helping to build an empire unlike any the world had ever seen. Today, they stand condemned for their cruelty and exploitation as men who decimated ancient civilizations and carried out horrific atrocities in their pursuit of gold and glory. In Conquistadores, acclaimed Mexican historian Fernando Cervantes—himself a descendent of one of the conquistadors—cuts through the layers of myth and fiction to help us better understand the context that gave rise to the conquistadors' actions. Drawing upon previously untapped primary sources that include diaries, letters, chronicles, and polemical treatises, Cervantes immerses us in the late-medieval, imperialist, religious world of 16th-century Spain, a world as unfamiliar to us as the Indigenous peoples of the New World were to the conquistadors themselves. His thought-provoking, illuminating account reframes the story of the Spanish conquest of the New World and the half-century that irrevocably altered the course of history.

Book Synopsis Terror and Consent by : Philip Bobbitt
Download or read book Terror and Consent written by Philip Bobbitt and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2013-04-04 with total page 1019 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The wars against terror have begun, but it will take some time before the nature and composition of these wars is widely understood. The objective of these wars is not the conquest of territory, or the silencing of any particular ideology, but rather to secure the necessary environment for states to operate according to principles of consent and make it impossible for our enemies to impose or induce states of terror. Terror and Consent argues that, like so many states and civilizations in the past that suffered defeat, we are fighting the last war, with weapons and concepts that were useful to us then but have now been superseded. Philip Bobbitt argues that we need to reforge links that previous societies have made between law and strategy; to realize how the evolution of modern states has now produced a globally networked terrorism that will change as fast as we can identify it; to combine humanitarian interests with strategies of intervention; and, above all, to rethink what 'victory' in such a war, if it is a war, might look like - no occupied capitals, no treaties, no victory parades, but the preservation, protection and defence of states of consent. This is one of the most challenging and wide-ranging books of any kind about our modern world.
