Sinossi

Byzantine Fortresses explores how the Byzantine Empire, enduring for a millennium amidst constant threats, relied on sophisticated military architecture for survival. More than mere barriers, these fortifications were dynamic elements shaping the empire's political, economic, and social fabric.

 
The book reveals that the strategic placement of curtain walls and flanking towers wasn't just about defense; it was integral to the Byzantine military doctrine and their ability to project power. For example, the famed Theodosian Walls of Constantinople stand as a testament to their advanced engineering and strategic thinking.

 
The book examines design and construction, strategic deployment across the empire, and societal impact of these structures. It analyzes the materials and engineering principles used, adapting to evolving siege technologies. 

 
By integrating archaeological surveys, Byzantine military manuals, and historical accounts, the book offers a comprehensive look at how these fortresses influenced urban layouts, trade routes, and imperial authority. This approach highlights the functional, strategic, and socio-economic dimensions of Byzantine fortifications, making it valuable for students, scholars, and anyone interested in military and architectural history.

    The Iran Nuclear Deal -...

    Iran's nuclear program has long been a subject of intense global scrutiny and diplomatic tension. Since the 1970s, the country has pursued the development of nuclear technology, initially for peaceful purposes, but concerns about its potential military ambitions escalated over time. As the international community grappled with Iran's nuclear ambitions, the central question was whether Tehran sought to develop nuclear weapons or maintain its program solely for civilian use. This uncertainty fueled widespread fear, particularly among Western powers and regional rivals like Israel, who viewed a nuclear-armed Iran as a direct threat to regional stability and global security. 
    The United States, along with its allies, pursued a variety of diplomatic efforts and imposed harsh economic sanctions in response to Iran’s nuclear activities. These sanctions targeted key sectors of Iran’s economy, including its oil exports and banking system, and were intended to pressure the Iranian government into compliance with international demands for greater transparency and restrictions on its nuclear program. Despite these measures, Iran's leadership remained defiant, and negotiations over the future of the nuclear program became increasingly complex. 
      
    The culmination of years of diplomatic maneuvering was the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), a landmark agreement reached in 2015 between Iran and six major world powers—the United States, United Kingdom, France, Russia, China, and Germany. The deal promised to significantly limit Iran's nuclear activities in exchange for sanctions relief. The JCPOA was heralded as a major achievement in international diplomacy, seen as a model for how nations could come together to resolve contentious issues through negotiation rather than military confrontation.

    'Every thoughtful person, concerned for the future of this country, needs to read this book.' - Prof. Irfan Habib 
    Yaadon ke Bikhre Moti, the Hindi translation of the bestselling Remnants of a Separation, is a unique attempt to revisit the Partition through objects that refugees carried with them across the border. These belongings absorbed the memory of a time and place, remaining latent and undisturbed for generations. They now speak of their owner's pasts as they emerge as testaments to the struggle, sacrifice, pain and belonging at an unparalleled moment in history. A string of pearls gifted by a maharaja, carried from Dalhousie to Lahore, reveals the grandeur of a life that once was. A notebook of poems, brought from Lahore to Kalyan, shows one woman's determination to pursue the written word despite the turmoil around her. The product of years of research, this book is an alternative history of the Partition - the first and only one told through material memory that makes the event tangible even seven decades later.
