Sinopse

Charles Oman's "The Art of War in the Middle Ages" meticulously explores the evolution of military strategy, tactics, and technology from the early medieval period to the onset of the Renaissance. Emphasizing a comprehensive historical narrative, Oman employs a scholarly tone enriched with detailed analyses of battles, weaponry, and the socio-political contexts that shaped warfare. The text navigates through pivotal developments such as the emergence of chivalry, the impact of the feudal system, and the transition from cavalry-dominated armies to the incorporation of infantry, reflecting a sophisticated understanding of medieval military structures and norms. Charles Oman (1860-1946), a noted historian and member of the Royal Historical Society, was profoundly influenced by his expertise in military history and his background in archaeology. His academic pursuits led him to examine the intricate relationships between politics, society, and warfare. Oman's research was characterized by rigorous field studies and the analysis of primary source materials, allowing him to convey the complexities of medieval conflict with both clarity and depth in this seminal work. This book is an essential read for enthusiasts of military history, medieval studies, and strategic theory, providing a robust examination of how warfare influenced societal change in the Middle Ages. Oman's scholarly insights will enrich the reader's understanding of the mechanisms that have shaped historical conflicts and continue to inform modern military thought.

    How the Republican Party transformed from the Party of Lincoln to the Party of Lee 
     
    The Republican House Divided is the first comprehensive study of the relationships between the Republican Party and Civil War memory in the twentieth century. Tim Galsworthy reveals how rival Republicans deployed Civil War memory to support, oppose, and ultimately shape the GOP's transformation, during the civil rights era, into a racially conservative party. Drawing on extensive archival research, Galsworthy underlines how references to the past were vitally important to Republican Party politicians as they negotiated their party's positions toward African American civil rights and attempted to appeal to erstwhile white Southern Democrats. Paying attention to a range of actors—including national party leaders, southern conservatives, prominent progressives, and defiant Black Republicans—he traces the actions of Republican politicians and operatives from across the party's ideological and geographical spectrums as they struggled to control and direct party messaging, strategy, and policy. The Republican House Divided is a timely work, offering insight into how the "Party of Lincoln" started on the road to becoming the GOP of today.

    Tiwanaku - The Mysterious...

    The ancient ruins of Tiwanaku have fascinated explorers, scholars, and travelers for centuries. Nestled on the altiplano of Bolivia near the southern shore of Lake Titicaca, Tiwanaku has been a site of mystery and intrigue since its rediscovery by European chroniclers. However, long before outsiders arrived, indigenous Andean communities revered the site as a sacred place, connecting it to their ancestors and the origins of civilization in the region. 
    Spanish chroniclers in the sixteenth century were among the first Europeans to record accounts of Tiwanaku. Conquistadors like Pedro Cieza de León described the ruins with awe, noting the massive stone blocks and intricate carvings scattered across the landscape. They speculated that such a monumental city could not have been built by the indigenous people they encountered, leading to myths of lost civilizations and supernatural origins. Some even believed that Tiwanaku predated the Great Flood, a theory influenced by biblical narratives. These early interpretations, though often misguided, helped cement Tiwanaku’s reputation as one of the most enigmatic ancient sites in the Americas. 
    During the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, explorers and archaeologists began conducting more systematic investigations of Tiwanaku. Travelers such as Ephraim Squier and Arthur Posnansky documented the ruins extensively, producing sketches and maps that revealed the scale and complexity of the site. Posnansky, in particular, developed theories suggesting that Tiwanaku was over ten thousand years old, arguing that its architectural alignments reflected advanced astronomical knowledge. Though modern research has debunked these extreme claims, his work brought significant attention to Tiwanaku and laid the groundwork for future archaeological studies.
