Synopsis

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.

  • Benedict Arnold and Major John André: The Men Behind the Most Notorious Plot of the American Revolution - cover

    Benedict Arnold and Major John...

    On October 7, 1777, Benedict Arnold rode out against orders and led an American assault against British forces led by General John Burgoyne in one of the climactic battles and ultimate turning point of the war at Saratoga. Near the end of the most important American victory of the Revolution, Arnold’s leg was shattered by a volley that also hit his horse, which fell on the leg as well. Arnold would later remark that he wish the shot had hit him in the chest. If it had, Benedict Arnold would be remembered as one of America’s greatest war heroes, and probably second only to George Washington among the generals of the Revolution.  
    	Today, of course, all of that has been overshadowed by Arnold’s treacherous plot to turn over West Point to the British in 1780. The infamous plot came about while Arnold convalesced as the military governor in Philadelphia, where he met and married the Tory-affiliated Peggy Shippen. Arnold grew more concerned about the patriot cause, and combined with the perceived insults, exposure to Loyalist leanings, and another Congressional rebuke for living extravagantly in Philadelphia, Arnold decided to secretly offer his services to the British.  
    	Spying and treachery are as much a part of warfare as weapons and death. This has always been the case since the earliest battles and is not likely to change in the future. And yet, even within this irregular system, there are certain rules, especially in past eras such as the American Revolution. First, while spying on behalf of one’s country is perfectly respectable, betraying one’s nation is treason. Second, honorable men do not involve those too innocent to understand the consequences of their actions in their schemes. Third, no man wearing his own uniform can be considered a spy, for his garments make it clear who he is and preclude deception. All three of these rules played into the story of Major John André.

    The author at 16 years old was evacuated with her family to an internment camp for Japanese Americans, along with 110,000 other people of Japanese ancestry living on the West Coast. She faced an indefinite sentence behind barbed wire in crowded, primitive camps. She struggled for survival and dignity, and endured psychological scarring that has lasted a lifetime. 
     
     
     
    This memoir is told from the heart and mind of a woman now nearly eighty years old who experienced the challenges and wounds of her internment at a crucial point in her development as a young adult. She brings passion and spirit to her story. Like The Diary of Anne Frank, this memoir superbly captures the emotional and psychological essence of what it was like to grow up in the midst of this profound dislocation and injustice in the US. Few other books on this subject come close to the emotional power and moral significance of this memoir. 
     
     
     
    In the end, the listener is buoyed by what Mary learns from her experiences and what she is able to do with her life. In 2005 she becomes one more Nissei who breaks her silence.
