Book Synopsis A Distant Mirror by : Barbara W. Tuchman
Download or read book A Distant Mirror written by Barbara W. Tuchman and published by Random House Trade Paperbacks. This book was released on 1987-07-12 with total page 738 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “marvelous history”* of medieval Europe, from the bubonic plague and the Papal Schism to the Hundred Years’ War, by the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Guns of August *Lawrence Wright, author of The End of October, in The Wall Street Journal The fourteenth century reflects two contradictory images: on the one hand, a glittering age of crusades, cathedrals, and chivalry; on the other, a world plunged into chaos and spiritual agony. In this revelatory work, Barbara W. Tuchman examines not only the great rhythms of history but the grain and texture of domestic life: what childhood was like; what marriage meant; how money, taxes, and war dominated the lives of serf, noble, and clergy alike. Granting her subjects their loyalties, treacheries, and guilty passions, Tuchman re-creates the lives of proud cardinals, university scholars, grocers and clerks, saints and mystics, lawyers and mercenaries, and, dominating all, the knight—in all his valor and “furious follies,” a “terrible worm in an iron cocoon.” Praise for A Distant Mirror “Beautifully written, careful and thorough in its scholarship . . . What Ms. Tuchman does superbly is to tell how it was. . . . No one has ever done this better.”—The New York Review of Books “A beautiful, extraordinary book . . . Tuchman at the top of her powers . . . She has done nothing finer.”—The Wall Street Journal “Wise, witty, and wonderful . . . a great book, in a great historical tradition.”—Commentary
Book Synopsis The Four Days' Battle of 1666 by : Frank L. Fox
Download or read book The Four Days' Battle of 1666 written by Frank L. Fox and published by Seaforth Publishing. This book was released on 2009-07-16 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An excellent piece of work, not just as an account of the Four Days’ Battle itself but also for its account of the entire Second Anglo-Dutch War” (HistoryOfWar.org). On June 1, 1666, a large but outnumbered English fleet engaged the Dutch off the mouth of the Thames in a colossal battle that was to involve nearly 200 ships and last four days. False intelligence had led the English to divide their fleet to meet a phantom threat from France, and although the errant squadron rejoined on the final day of the battle, it was not enough to redress the balance. Like many a defeat, it sparked controversy at the time, and has been the subject of speculation and debate ever since. The battle was an event of such overwhelming complexity that for centuries it defied description and deterred study, but this superbly researched book is now recognized as the definitive account. It provides the first clear exposition of the opposing forces, fills many holes in the narrative and answers most of the questions raised by the actions of the English commanders. It makes for a thoroughly engrossing story, and one worthy of the greatest battle of the age of sail.

Download or read book Here/There written by Kris Paulsen and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2017-02-24 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An examination of telepresence technologies through the lens of contemporary artistic experiments, from early video art through current “drone vision” works. "Telepresence” allows us to feel present—through vision, hearing, and even touch—at a remote location by means of real-time communication technology. Networked devices such as video cameras and telerobots extend our corporeal agency into distant spaces. In Here/There, Kris Paulsen examines telepresence technologies through the lens of contemporary artistic experiments, from early video art through current “drone vision” works. Paulsen traces an arc of increasing interactivity, as video screens became spaces for communication and physical, tactile intervention. She explores the work of artists who took up these technological tools and questioned the aesthetic, social, and ethical stakes of media that allow us to manipulate and affect far-off environments and other people—to touch, metaphorically and literally, those who cannot touch us back. Paulsen examines 1970s video artworks by Vito Acconci and Joan Jonas, live satellite performance projects by Kit Galloway and Sherrie Rabinowitz, and CCTV installations by Chris Burden. These early works, she argues, can help us make sense of the expansion of our senses by technologies that privilege real time over real space and model strategies for engagement and interaction with mediated others. They establish a political, aesthetic, and technological history for later works using cable TV infrastructures and the World Wide Web, including telerobotic works by Ken Goldberg and Wafaa Bilal and artworks about military drones by Trevor Paglen, Omar Fast, Hito Steyerl, and others. These works become a meeting place for here and there.

Book excerpt: TOURS, THE MOST SIGNIFICANT BATTLE IN HISTORYThis is not a history book!It is not unlikely that this book will get me killed and I would not dismiss the danger to its publishers. If you have the courage to print and distribute it, there is no doubt that it will be one of the all-time best sellers in the world today.Tours, the largest city in the Centre region of France, is the location of what was arguably the most significant battle in human history. Here, in 732, Charles "the Hammer" Martel stopped an invading army of sixty thousand Muslims cold. Martel slaughtered every one of them and left their "unholy "bones to rot as a testament to God and all who passed.Since the birth of the so-called prophet Mohammed in 471 AD, the crazed followers of Allah rampaged throughout the Middle East and invaded southern Europe in an attempt to lay waste to all Christian lands, murdering, pillaging and proselytizing. The spread of Islam throughout the Middle East was most certainly by and under the sword. The Egyptians were obviously not Arabs or Muslims until the armies of Islam swept into their territories. Equally, in every country that fell under the murdering hands of the Muslims, the people of those countries were subjugated and slaughtered, forced to convert or die. Indeed, no one can argue that Islam is not a diseased cult spread by force staining human history with blood.The story I wrote is about Charles Martel and how he came to be there on that fateful day at Tours as the sole defender of the faith and all that stood against the Muslim onslaught that had penetrated so deeply into Europe.I argue that had not Martel been able to stop them, it is highly likely that today, all of us, the entire Christian world, would have likely been destroyed and forced to convert or die. The spires of the minarets would today have been in the thousands throughout Europe and even into the new world.It is highly probable that Islam would have retained a dominant position throughout the world just as they do today in all lands that have fallen under their obscene rule. With their seeming worship and devotion of and to ignorance, human civilization would have been stuck in the past. We would have had no modernization, no invention and no advancement- mankind today would still be living in the dark ages under the cruel eyes of the Mutawas (thought police) and vicious power hungry Ayatollahs. It would be centuries later, during the Ottoman Empire, that Islam again threatened Europe. It is important to note that Martel's victory at Tours, and his later campaigns, prevented invasion of Europe by the Muslim caliphate. Martel preserved and protected Christianity and Western civilization, as we know it. Gibbons called him "the paramount prince of his age." A strong argument can be made that Gibbons was entirely correct.The book describes the Battle of Tours as if it were happening today. it recreates the movements of the armies, the difficulties of provisioning such large numbers in those times and looks into the minds of the leaders and soldiers as they fought and died in that historic conflict. The book shows us the motivations of the mad Muslims who so desperately wanted to destroy western Christianity and delves into their reasoning then and now. Tours is important because it was the first time a western Christian Army had defeated the marauding Muslims and it set the stage for the retaliation that was to follow in the form of the Crusades. Both the crusades and the attacks into Europe by the Muslims that preceded them, laid the foundations for the humiliation, anger and hatred that motivates the attacks on the west by the Jihadists of today.The skein of history in those times is thin. The book does not rely on diaries and written accounts as one can in more recent battles...

Download or read book THE BATTLE OF JETTENA JUNCTION written by A.W. Bennett and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2024-02-28 with total page 958 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Battle of Jettena Junction is a remarkable work. This intriguing combination of fiction work and history textbook subverts and reverses the expectations of historical fiction, using plot as the backdrop of history rather than history as the backdrop for the plot - a history book with a dash of fiction rather than a fiction book with a dash of history. ***** The Confederate States of America had suffered recent devastating defeats at the hands of the Union in recent months. Their capital, Richmond was now a smoldering ruin. Though their spirits were still high, the Confederacy was on the verge of collapse. One more devastating battle, one more dramatic defeat would see the end of the newly formed nation before the eyes of the world. So when the opportunity arose to conclude the most devastating war in America's history, to end in their favor, what better way to end it but by capturing the Federal's leader, President Abraham Lincoln, a she traveled from Washington D.C., to Gettysburg to honor the fallen. The question was? Where was the best location to conduct their hit and run attack? Why, a small siding in Pennsylvania, named Jettena Junction. But what was to be a simple in and out raid turned into a total rout the Confederacy. Deceit, disobeyed orders and commands, betrayal, glory hunting, poor intelligence All played their part as the cream of their military faced a determined foe.
Book Synopsis The Other Face of Battle by : Wayne E. Lee
Download or read book The Other Face of Battle written by Wayne E. Lee and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking its title from The Face of Battle, John Keegan's canonical book on the nature of warfare, The Other Face of Battle illuminates the American experience of fighting in "irregular" and "intercultural" wars over the centuries. Sometimes known as "forgotten" wars, in part because they lackedtriumphant clarity, they are the focus of the book. David Preston, David Silbey, and Anthony Carlson focus on, respectively, the Battle of Monongahela (1755), the Battle of Manila (1898), and the Battle of Makuan, Afghanistan (2020) - conflicts in which American soldiers were forced to engage in"irregular" warfare, confronting an enemy entirely alien to them. This enemy rejected the Western conventions of warfare and defined success and failure - victory and defeat - in entirely different ways. Symmetry of any kind is lost. Here was not ennobling engagement but atrocity, unanticipatedinsurgencies, and strategic stalemate.War is always hell. These wars, however, profoundly undermined any sense of purpose or proportion. Nightmarish and existentially bewildering, they nonetheless characterize how Americans have experienced combat and what its effects have been. They are therefore worth comparing for what they hold incommon as well as what they reveal about our attitude toward war itself. The Other Face of Battle reminds us that "irregular" or "asymmetrical" warfare is now not the exception but the rule. Understanding its roots seems more crucial than ever.
