  Roman Legions - The Military...

  The Roman legions were the backbone of one of the most formidable military forces in history. Before the rise of the professional army, Rome’s early military structure was largely based on citizen soldiers who fought in times of need. This early system was influenced by both the Etruscans and the Greeks, shaping the foundation of what would become the highly disciplined and organized Roman legions. Over time, reforms, particularly those of Gaius Marius, transformed the Roman military into a professional and highly efficient force that would dominate the ancient world. 
  In the early days of Rome, military service was tied to land ownership. The army was made up of citizen militias, with each man providing his own weapons and armor. This system was similar to that of the Greek hoplites, where soldiers fought in close formations with shields and spears. However, as Rome expanded, it became clear that a more structured and permanent military force was needed. The influence of the Etruscans introduced elements of hierarchy and organization, while the Greeks contributed to Rome’s use of phalanx-style formations in battle. Despite these early influences, the Roman army continued to evolve, adapting to new threats and challenges. 
  The real transformation of the Roman military came during the late Republic, when Gaius Marius introduced the Marian Reforms. These changes allowed for the recruitment of landless citizens, shifting the army from a temporary force to a standing professional military. Soldiers were now equipped by the state, ensuring uniformity in weapons and armor. The structure of the army was also refined, replacing the older phalanx formations with the more flexible manipular and cohort systems. This allowed for greater maneuverability on the battlefield, giving the Romans a significant advantage over their enemies.

  Men of Action

  Howard Akler

  After his father, Saul, undergoes brain surgery and slips into a coma, Howard Akler begins to reflect on Saul's life, the complicated texture of consciousness, and Akler's struggles with writing and his own unpredictable mind. With echoes of Paul Auster's The Invention of Solitude and Philip Roth's Patrimony, Men of Action treads the line between memoir and meditation, and is at once elegiac, spare, and profoundly intimate.
     
  'Like Harley J. Spiller’s Keep the Change, Howard Akler’s Men of Action similarly compresses a great deal – whole lives – into a very few pages … As might be expected, Men of Action delves into the father-son relationship, while also encompassing the father’s life, the parents’ marriage and the son’s youth in Toronto, where Mr. Akler still lives. But its more submerged subject is the act of writing itself, which is demonstrated with the carefully observed, resonant economy of poetry.'
     
  – The New York Times Holiday 2015 Gift Guide
     
  ‘What makes someone who they are? What details and actions explain their inner thoughts? What moments matter in the telling of a life? These are futile questions, but what matters is that Akler is asking them in a way we haven’t previously seen. Men of Action not only gracefully succeeds in depicting the nature of human tragedy, but the inherent failures of language to capture it. The book’s brevity is its strength – a genuine testament to the writer’s talent that he is able to take us so far with so little.'
     
  – Stacey May Fowles, The Globe and Mail
     
  ‘Men of Action is an insightful and heartbreaking exploration of consciousness, familial relationships, and the sense of self. As he and his family stand a restless vigil through his father's post-operative coma, Howard Akler explores and reorganizes the past, present, and future of his relationship with his father. Immensely relatable, this collection of essays delves fearlessly into loss, grief, and the understanding that often the moments in which we choose to be completely still are when we take the most important actions.’

  Hollywood and MAGA don’t get along. There are plenty of right wingers who won’t even touch this book because "Hollywood" is on the cover. Meanwhile, there are plenty of snowflake leftists who are fighting back tears because they assume this book is propaganda from “orange Thanos” to take over Tinseltown. And then there’s you, the American. Conservative or liberal, you realize that Hollywood and MAGA are at war with each other and that it’s a battle worth examining. Make Hollywood Great Again navigates through 2017 – 2020’s theatrical releases examining journalism, conspiracy and the media, as well as a bevy of other topics. Filmmakers have addressed their undesired tenet in the White House through a variety of stories, mostly non-fiction. The book privileges The Post, Blackkklansman, The Front Runner, Dark Waters, Richard Jewell, and The Hunt among others.
