Sinossi

"Zulu Nation" explores the remarkable ascent of the Zulu kingdom in Southern Africa, focusing on Shaka Zulu's pivotal role in transforming a small tribe into a formidable military power. The book delves into the kingdom's formation, military organization, and lasting impact, highlighting Shaka's innovative strategies such as the "bull horn formation" and the introduction of the "iklwa," a short stabbing spear. Shaka's reforms reshaped Zulu society, allowing them to conquer and absorb neighboring territories. The book examines Shaka's military revolution, the socio-political structures underpinning the Zulu kingdom, and the consequences of Zulu expansion, including the Mfecane, a period of widespread warfare and displacement. It presents a nuanced portrait of Shaka, moving beyond simplistic narratives to analyze his internal kingdom dynamics and consider different social groups' perspectives. The narrative progresses chronologically, starting with the historical context and Shaka's early life, then moves into his military innovations, and concludes with the consequences of Zulu expansion and interactions with European colonial powers.

    “In poetic prose, I revisit the scars of childhood abuse, molding me into a hollow shell of womanhood. Navigating immigrant pressures, cultures clash, tugging me in divergent paths. Unraveling buried trauma, self-destruction consumed, shattering false identities. Intuition emerges as my guide, leading through mystical realms to rebirth. From unworthiness to purpose-seeking, I rise, embracing happiness, truth, and destiny’s dance.” —From the author   This is the author’s poetic recollection of being abused as a child and how the aftermath shaped her to live her life as a shell of a woman. She takes the reader through the front seat of her mind as she navigates the pressures of being the daughter of brown immigrants and how the clash of cultures pushed and pulled her in different directions. Discovering the trauma stored in her body, self-destruction from the inside led to the inevitable death of her false self. Learning to trust her intuition and the universe, getting lost and found in the world of magic and her prophetic dreams, ultimately guided her to the rebirth of an awakened identity. She went from not feeling worthy enough to live, to searching for her purpose, pulling herself out of the hole, finding her happiness, and never looking back. She learned to live her truth, love herself, and instinctively play with her fate.

    As a teenager Audie Murphy left his home in Texas to join in the fight against the Nazis. By the end of the war, he had fought in the bloody battle of Anzio, helped liberate Rome, marched his way across France, repelled German counterattacks in Alsace, before finishing in Germany. He was wounded three times, killed over two hundred enemies, and won every medal for valor that the United States had to offer. 
     
     
     
    Charles Whiting charts Murphy's journey through World War Two, shedding light on his courageous actions. 
     
     
     
    Yet what price did young Audie Murphy pay for becoming America's most decorated soldier of the Second World War? 
     
     
     
    Rather than simply focusing on Murphy's achievements in combat, Whiting also explores his life after the war when he struggled with post-traumatic stress disorder, addiction problems, and even twenty years after the war slept with the lights on and a loaded Walther pistol beneath his pillow. 
     
     
     
    American Hero draws upon numerous contemporary sources and a wealth of information drawn from interviews with Murphy's friends and comrades to provide insight into the rise and fall of Audie Murphy.

    In its voracious hunger to fill its decks and spars with the bodies of strong young sailors, the nineteenth century US Navy and the commercial maritime industry welcomed eccentrics, criminals, outcasts, and misfits into a community of the marginalized, one that held very different values and expectations than the towns and villages from which the young men fled, a community that offered a tentative refuge to men who were sexually attracted to other men. 
     
     
     
    Drawing from biographies and autobiographies, diaries, newspapers, government reports, Congressional hearings, religious tracts, pornography, ships' logs, medical treatises, maritime fiction, court-martial reports, personal letters and business correspondence, Benemann provides an in-depth examination of nineteenth century LGBTQ culture as it developed at sea and in America's port cities.
