Sinopsis

Ashanti Power explores the fascinating history of the Ashanti Empire in West Africa, a kingdom renowned for its wealth in gold and its fierce resistance to colonialism. The book reveals how the Ashanti people, located in present-day Ghana, maintained their sovereignty for centuries against European powers, particularly the British.

One key to their success was a highly organized military, capable of strategic campaigns. Another was a sophisticated system of governance, centered around the Asantehene and the symbolic Golden Stool, which served as both a political and spiritual emblem of the nation. The book delves into the three pillars of Ashanti strength: military organization, governance, and enduring cultural practices. It traces the empire's origins with figures like Osei Tutu and Okomfo Anokye, examines its military tactics, and analyzes its government and cultural traditions.

By drawing upon diverse sources, including oral histories, colonial accounts, and archaeological findings, Ashanti Power offers a balanced perspective on the empire's strengths and weaknesses. The book progresses chronologically, from the empire's rise in the late 17th century to its incorporation into the Gold Coast colony in the early 20th century. It highlights the Anglo-Ashanti Wars and the empire's lasting legacy, challenging simplistic narratives of conquest and resistance.

This exploration of Ashanti culture, political science, and military history provides lessons in political organization, cultural resilience, and strategic adaptation.

Watergate Scandal - A History...

Hourly History

In the summer of 1972, as the US presidential campaign was gathering pace, incumbent President Richard Nixon faced a challenge from Democratic Senator George McGovern. In general, President Nixon was well-regarded, particularly for a number of notable foreign policy successes, and polls seemed to suggest that he would have little difficulty in defeating McGovern to win a second term. As predicted, Nixon won a landslide victory and officially began his second term in January 1973. But something had happened in the summer of 1972 that, although it was virtually unnoticed at the time, would fatally undermine Nixon’s presidency and eventually lead to his downfall. 
In the early hours of June 17, police were called to the massive Watergate Hotel and Office Complex in Washington, DC. On the sixth floor, in the offices where McGovern’s campaign was being planned and controlled, they discovered and arrested five burglars. This event wasn’t immediately a major news story—in fact, many newspapers ignored it completely—but over the next two years, the attempted break-in at the Watergate complex would become the heart of the biggest political scandal ever to hit America and the direct cause of a constitutional crisis. 
How did that happen? And why has the word “Watergate” become a synonym for political scandal and corruption? Dive into the true story of the Watergate Scandal.

The Count Of Virtue -...

E.R. Chamberlin

Fourteenth century Italy was chaotic: mercenaries swarmed across the land as competing city states attempted to vie with each other for power, while pestilence and famine decimated populations. 
 
 
 
Into this cauldron was born Giangalezzo Visconti, a man who perfectly exemplified all the contradictions of his age. Viscous, covetous, and with loose morals, he has been portrayed as one of the most criminal men in history, yet he was also a man of remarkable gifts as a brilliant administrator, a shrewd ruler who was able to command the loyalty of his men, and a patron of beautiful art and architecture at the dawn of the Renaissance. 
 
 
 
Visconti as a young boy had been taught by Petrarch, yet he was just as influenced by his family of deft schemers and killers as he carved his pathway to power. Playing the parochial jealousies of the city-states against one another he was able to weaken his rivals and strike them in quick succession. 
 
 
 
E. R. Chamberlin's The Count of Virtue is a remarkable study of the life and times of Giangaleazzo Visconti that provides fascinating insight into the political, social and cultural world of fourteenth century Italy.
