Beschreibung

The age of Charlemagne was a time of war, conquest, and legendary heroism. As the mighty ruler of the Franks, Charlemagne shaped medieval Europe with his ambition and strength, but it was his famed Twelve Peers—his bravest and most loyal knights—who carried out his most daring feats. In Stories of Charlemagne and the Twelve Peers of France, Alfred J. Church masterfully retells these classic tales, weaving together history, myth, and adventure into a timeless collection of knightly valor and high-stakes battles.     From the epic last stand of Roland at Roncevaux to the cunning exploits of Huon of Bordeaux, these stories capture the heart of medieval chivalry. The Twelve Peers face impossible challenges—dark sorcery, treacherous betrayals, and ruthless enemies—yet they fight on with unshakable courage and honor. Through daring quests, fierce rivalries, and trials of faith, these knights uphold their oaths to Charlemagne, offering readers an enthralling glimpse into the ideals of duty and sacrifice that defined the age.     Alfred J. Church brings these medieval chansons de geste to life with gripping prose, making these legendary tales accessible to modern readers while preserving the grandeur of their original telling. His retellings honor the rich tradition of epic storytelling, offering a compelling blend of history and fantasy that transports readers into a world of noble kings, fierce warriors, and forgotten kingdoms. The vivid depictions of battle, the clash of steel, and the honor-bound struggles of knights and champions make this collection essential for those who love historical adventure.     Beyond its action and heroics, Stories of Charlemagne and the Twelve Peers of France explores themes of loyalty, destiny, and the cost of greatness. The knights of Charlemagne’s court are more than warriors—they are men whose choices shape the fate of an empire, facing the ultimate tests of honor and courage. Their stories, filled with grandeur and tragedy, continue to inspire and captivate readers across generations.     For lovers of medieval history, classic adventure tales, and epic legends, Stories of Charlemagne and the Twelve Peers of France is a must-read. This collection, published by Classicus, brings together the most thrilling and unforgettable stories of the Carolingian era, offering a journey into a time when chivalry ruled and legends were born.

    When both levees and governments failed in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, an organization calling itself the Common Ground Collective formed to become the largest anarchist inspired organization in modern US history. In solidarity with people in New Orleans, Common Ground built medical clinics, distributed aid, formed neighborhood assemblies and created food security through community gardens. The group also defied unjust laws by resisting home demolitions, and defended communities from white militias and police brutality.  
    Black Flags and Windmills—equal parts memoir, history and organizing philosophy—maps the intertwining of Common Ground co-founder scott crow’s radical experiences and ideas with Katrina’s reality, vividly illustrating how people under extraordinary circumstances built local grassroots power and collective liberation. It is a story of resisting indifference, rebuilding hope amidst collapse, and struggling against the grain to create better worlds.

    A definitive history of one of the United States Army's most elite and enduring formations, this book traces the full evolution of the 82nd Airborne Division from its World War I origins to its current role as a rapid-response force. Drawing on rare archival sources and previously unpublished first-hand accounts, it offers a comprehensive portrait of the "All American" Division across more than a century of service.While the division's exploits during World War II—from their first combat operation jumping into Sicily, their role in the airborne assaults in Normandy and at Arnhem, and their part in the Battle of the Bulge—are widely recognized, this book goes far beyond. It explores the 82nd's formation in 1917, its transformation into the Army's first airborne division in 1942, its adaptation to new strategic demands during the Cold War, and the fighting it has undertaken in conflicts from Vietnam to Iraq and Afghanistan.This is not just a history of battles and campaigns—it is a story of the soldiers themselves. Through veterans' voices, after-action reports, and unit records, the book captures the lived experience of paratroopers, from the trenches of the Western Front to twenty-first-century deployments. The result is a richly detailed and authoritative account of the 82nd Airborne Division's combat legacy.
