    When one hears the term Greek, our first thoughts may rush to Socrates, temples, and togas, but this is just a small section of the exciting and complex history of the Hellenistic world.  
Caesar wasn’t the only military and political leader of his time. And Cleopatra wasn’t the only one unsure of her feelings toward Rome.

If you are interested in military history, politics, or archaeology or are simply an armchair scholar, you’ve come to the right place. 
Inside this tome, we will examine Hellenistic Greece in a way that brings the people to life and puts their decisions up for debate, even two thousand years later. If you’ve ever wondered any of the following, then this audiobook was made for you:Did Cleopatra really marry her brother?What happened to Alexander’s far-reaching empire after his death?Why would Hannibal choose elephants for battle?Where were the mighty Spartans when Rome came knocking?Can a culture so old really have anything interesting to teach us?Can anyone sort out all of these rulers and their numbers in a way that is easy to follow?

  • Declaring Independence - Why 1776 Matters - cover

    Declaring Independence - Why...

    At the beginning of 1776, virtually no one in the colonies was advocating independence: Americans based their grievances against Parliament on their rights as British subjects. By the end of 1776, independence was on every patriot's lips. The many tyrannies of a king had made an independent republic necessary. In Declaring Independence, Edward J. Larson gives us a compact, insightful history of that pivotal year. He traces a narrative arc that runs from the inspiring appeals of Paine's Common Sense in January; through the soaring ideals of midsummer, when the Continental Congress grounded independence in the self-evident truths of human equality and individual rights, and the states wove revolutionary principles of republican government and the rule of law into their new constitutions; to Paine's urgent pleas of December, when "the times that try men's souls" required Americans not "to shrink from the service of their country." Dramatic military clashes also punctuate the year: the British evacuation of Boston forced by the brilliant maneuvers of Washington's Army; the Battle of Long Island, a costly defeat that opened New York to British occupation; and the desperate year-end victory of the American army at Trenton. 
 
Combined, these ideals and the sacrifices remind us why, on this anniversary and at this political moment, 1776 matters to all of us.
