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.

Terrorist Attacks on American...

J. Michael Martinez

Understanding the context of terrorism requires a trek through history, in this case the history of terrorist activity in the United States since the Civil War.  Because the topic is large and complex, Terrorists Attacks on American Soil: From the Civil War to the Present does not claim to be an exhaustive history of terrorism or the definitive account of how and why terrorists do what they do.  Instead, this book takes a representative sampling of the most horrific terrorist attacks on U.S. soil in an effort to understand the context in which they occurred and the lessons that can be learned from these events.

The Theory of Evolution is a Joke

Danny Erhardt

Danny Erhardt, a mild mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper, has sought the truth, and fortuitously found it. You can too. If you seek it with all your heart. If you love the truth more than the opinions and conclusions that are already in your head. The lies of Satan ("the great deceiver who goes forth to deceive the whole world") cover this earth like a blanket, and people believe whatever they are taught. (Evolution is one of them...) What lies have you been taught? have you learned to hold dear? ...Danny is father to a half dozen boys and girls, and grandfather to a little more than half a dozen.  
If you have any unintelligent criticisms or thoughtless attacks on the truth, to share, please send them to our Complaint Dept. Administrator, Mrs. Helen Waite. Go to her if you feel the need to vent any or all of the evolutionary indoctrinated lies that we were all fed, and that unfortunately too many still believe. Also, if anyone is offended by any, or all, of the accurate scientific truths and realities imparted here, then please bang your face against your bathroom mirror for about half an hour, and then hide under your mommy's bed for a couple of weeks. This should help.  
Well, thank you so much for picking up a copy of this book, or considering doing the same. It's called the truth. And may God (you know, the actual Creator of all of this) richly bless you and yours.

The Stage of Survival - The Art...

Davis Truman

Many of the concentration camps and ghettos under the Nazi regime had cultural and artistic activities which have been reported upon. The cabaret was very popular in the concentration camp of Buchenwald. Any available space could be transformed, as was done in Auschwitz, Buchenwald, Dachau, and Theresienstadt. It seems apparent that these cabaret presentations were acts of resistance and attacks on the Third Reich. The heavily satirical content of these entertainment sites has already been noted.  
Moreover, this book attempts to use theatrical performances to learn more about the conditions in the camp and how they changed during its existence.

Broken Supremacy - The Rise and...

Davis Truman

A searing chronicle of ambition, brutality, and collapse, Broken Supremacy: The Rise and Fall of the Wehrmacht in Russia reveals the untold dimensions of the most catastrophic military campaign in modern history. 
At the height of its power, the Wehrmacht was celebrated as an unstoppable force, an army honed on lightning victories, driven by a doctrine of speed and annihilation. Yet on the vast, unforgiving battlefields of the Eastern Front, that supremacy was shattered. This groundbreaking work peels back the myths to expose the flawed strategies, fatal hubris, and relentless resistance that led to the Wehrmacht’s disintegration against the Soviet war machine. 
Drawing on newly unearthed archives, soldiers’ testimonies, and penetrating analysis, the book traces the Wehrmacht’s trajectory from its initial triumphs in 1941 to its devastating reversals at Stalingrad, Kursk, and beyond. It examines the interplay between ideology and strategy, the limitations of military innovation, and the human toll of a conflict that claimed millions of lives. More than a military history, it is an unflinching portrait of a regime’s overreach and the resilience of those who resisted it. 
Written with cinematic immediacy and scholarly authority, Broken Supremacy illuminates how the Wehrmacht’s rise carried the seeds of its downfall, and why its defeat in Russia sealed the fate of Nazi Germany itself.
