Sinopse

In 'The 'Patriotes' of '37', Alfred D. DeCelles delves into the transformative period of the 1837-38 Rebellions in Lower Canada, examining the complex interplay between social, political, and cultural forces that propelled a diverse group of individuals to seek change. DeCelles employs a meticulous narrative style that blends meticulous historical research with engaging storytelling, situating the 'Patriotes' within the wider context of Canadian nationalism and colonial resistance. This work is not only a testament to the struggles faced by these early nationalist figures but also serves as a critical reflection on the origins of modern Canadian identity amidst the backdrop of imperial politics and social stratification. DeCelles, a noted scholar of Canadian history, possesses a deep-rooted passion for uncovering the lesser-known stories that shape national narratives. His academic background and extensive research into the socio-political climate of 19th-century Canada have uniquely equipped him to offer a nuanced perspective on the 'Patriotes'. This book is a culmination of his lifelong engagement with the themes of rebellion, identity, and resistance, drawing connections between the historical events of 1837-38 and contemporary discussions of national identity. This book is essential for anyone interested in Canadian history, social movements, and the development of political consciousness. DeCelles' insightful analysis and captivating prose invite readers to explore the fervor and complexities of the 'Patriotes', shedding light on their legacy and implications for modern-day Canada. 'The 'Patriotes' of '37' is not merely a historical account; it is a vital exploration of the enduring struggle for identity and justice.

    A swift, sudden attack from the ocean, putting soldiers ashore on a hostile coast at some point weakly defended by the enemy, has been a powerful tactical and strategic tool since the late Bronze Age. Utilized by the Sea Peoples against New Kingdom Egypt and the Greek city-states in their internecine wars, amphibious warfare combined high mobility with a strong chance of complete surprise.  
    The technique continued in use through such periods as the early Medieval era, when Viking armies numbering up to 10,000 men struck suddenly and devastatingly from the sea using their highly seaworthy longships or “dragonships” (drekkar). At around the same time, the Normans carried out amphibious landings of invasion forces, including mounted men, in Muslim-occupied Sicily (1061) and Saxon England (1066).  
    As navies grew larger and the Spanish clashed with the Ottomans in the Mediterranean during the Renaissance, some military forces introduced specialized marines for the first time. These men, trained specially for landings carried out using ships’ boats, formed a part of many European navies from the 16th century onward.  
    World War I was the first truly industrial war, and it created a paradigm which reached its zenith with World War II and towards which virtually all equipment, innovation and training were dedicated throughout the Cold War and the remainder of the 20th century. To this day, modern warfare remains synonymous with tanks and mass infantry battles, although a confrontation of this nature has not occurred (except briefly during Operation Desert Storm) since World War II. 	World War II witnessed a sudden explosion in the scope and metamorphosis in the methods of amphibious warfare. With battlefields covering significant portions of the planetary surface, combined with the availability of the modern era’s powerful technology and vehicles, the mighty conflict witnessed unprecedented tactical and strategic amphibious operations.

    From the New York Times best-selling author of The Private Lives of the Impressionists comes the first account of the women who loved Picasso―and who shaped his work far more than previously acknowledged. 
     
    Fernande Olivier, Olga Khokhlova, Marie-Thérèse Walter, Dora Maar, Françoise Gilot, and Jacqueline Roque. These six extraordinary women shared Pablo Picasso’s life and were instrumental in his career, yet they have long been dismissed as simply passive models or muses. 
     
    In Hidden Portraits, acclaimed author Sue Roe reveals that their lives were―without exception―remarkable. They each pursued their own ambitions in dance, writing, painting, and more. All six overcame significant challenges, including Picasso’s subterfuges and betrayals as well as the wider social turbulence of their time. In bringing them to vivid life, Roe traces the extent to which each influenced Picasso’s work, from his sketches to masterpieces like Guernica. Spanning seventy years, from bohemian early-twentieth-century Montmartre to the glittering Riviera in the 1920s, and from Paris under Nazi occupation to Picasso’s death, and beyond, Hidden Portraits reclaims a set of brilliant women and in the process rewrites a vital chapter in the history of modern art.
