Beschreibung

Step into the tumultuous world of Henry VIII, a ruler whose reign reshaped England and left an indelible mark on history. In Henry VIII: King, Tyrant, Visionary, Charles Andrew Wilcox unravels the multifaceted legacy of one of England's most captivating monarchs—a man of great contradictions, whose ambition, passion, and ruthlessness changed the course of a nation.

From the unyielding quest for a male heir to his transformative break with the Roman Catholic Church, Henry VIII was a king driven by power and personal desire. This compelling narrative explores the complex political, religious, and personal dimensions of his reign. Witness his fiery relationships with six wives, his role in the birth of the English Reformation, and the rise of a Tudor court that became a cultural and political powerhouse.

Balancing the charismatic and the tyrannical, Wilcox sheds light on a ruler who was as brilliant as he was brutal—a man whose decisions defined an era and reverberated far beyond his time.

Perfect for history enthusiasts and Tudor aficionados alike, this book provides an insightful and vivid journey into the heart of a king who remains one of history's most fascinating figures.

Discover the king, the tyrant, and the visionary who dared to reshape a kingdom.

    Larry Csonka ran the football with audacity and authority. He lived his off-the-field life with equal abandon. As part of the NFL's 100th Anniversary, he and his undefeated 1972 Miami Dolphins teammates were named the best team in NFL history. 
     
     
     
    In Head On, Csonka shares how they achieved their legendary Perfect Season. From quitting football at a young age, to his often-combative relationship with Coach Don Shula, to brazen exploits with his NFL pals, Csonka narrates a life that is colorful, unbridled, and thrilling. 
     
     
     
    Csonka found himself hanging out with Burt Reynolds, Dick Butkus, Lee Majors, Joe Namath, and Elvis Presley during his football years. But his moments outside the spotlight reveal the most about this larger-than-life figure—raising critters and a little hell in his formative years on an Ohio dirt farm, early run-ins with the law, confronting thieves with a sawed-off shotgun, taking sniper fire on a USO tour of Vietnam, and being adrift at night on the Bering Sea with gale-force winds raging. 
     
     
     
    Csonka's Head On is a captivating account of grit, grace, and gumption told by an iconic Hall of Famer who continues to gain ground—figuratively, literally, and unapologetically—every day.
