Did you know that Viking-age Swedes were the founding dynasty of what eventually became Russia? In contrast to their Danish and Norwegian cousins, Swedish Vikings traveled east rather than west in search of riches, land, and power. The extensive river systems of Russia provided economic and military "super-highways" to the adventurers from the north, who journeyed down them all the way to the Black Sea and Constantinople in search of fame and riches. The rise in TV shows and movies has renewed people's interest in Vikings, but the Swedish Vikings have been notably absent from these accounts. In Captivating History's History of Sweden, you will learn more about these Swedish adventurers, along with other parts of Sweden's fascinating history. In this book, you will discover: - The Swedes' fierce struggle to gain independence - The "Father of Sweden," King Gustav Vasa, and his dynasty spawned some of the greatest military minds in Europe - How the Swedish Empire achieved success and expanded as far as North America - Sweden's revolutionary war tactics and how they led to victories on the battlefield - Why Sweden adopted its famous policy of neutrality - The hero Raoul Wallenberg and his role in WWII - And much more!

Our country doesn't have a partisan problem, a political problem, a social problem, or an economic problem. We have a spiritual problem. As Christianity has been pushed aside, the Progressive Left has developed a new pagan religion. But the radical roots of the new secular religion are ancient. We've seen it all before. In You Shall Be as Gods, Erick Erickson traces the religion's roots from Paganism and Gnosticism through the Age of Enlightenment all the way into the Postmodernism of the twenty-first century. At the heart of the ancient religion is a self-centered culture. The Christian church today has been weakened by compromising with the neo-pagan religion, leaving the faithful ill-prepared to counter the claims of society's present-day doctrine. Yet there remains a significant remnant in America that refuses to bow to the rising belief system. Just as in Rome and countless societies throughout history, the religions present two opposing stories of reality which necessitates conflict. In an era where the "Christian thing" to do seems to be to go along and get along, Erickson makes clear that the two cultures cannot peacefully coexist and calls the listener to speak the truth in love.Mostra libro
After an introduction establishing Cromwell's war against the Scots from July 1650 to May 1652, this book discusses Charles' landing and Fairfax's resignation as commander-in-chief of the English Republican Army, both events occurred on the same day. It then addresses the causes of the war, Charles II's landing in Northern Scotland from the Continent. The story continues chronologically, from Cromwell's invasion of Scotland, through the Battle of Dunbar, and the slow establishment of the king's power over the Scottish government. The end came with the fall of the last of the Scottish castles, Dunnottar, to English conquest. The Scots enjoyed a distinct military recovery after the Dunbar defeat, but their aims and those of the king were always at cross purposes: the king was intent on the invasion of England, the Scots on resistance to English conquest. Finally, Cromwell's manoeuvres in the summer of 1651, and the English victory at Inverkeithing, allowed the king to invade England. This ended in another Scots defeat at Worcester. The removal of the Scots Army to England meanwhile allowed the English under Monck to complete their conquest of Scotland. Throughout, the political dimension, particularly in Scotland, is kept in view. At the end, the author comments on the relevance of these events to the present Scottish situation.Mostra libro
