  Many battles fought in antiquity remain famous thousands of years later, such as Marathon, Thermopylae, and Cannae, mainly due to the belligerents involved and the ways in which the battles changed the course of history. However, even as people are fascinated by the Egyptians, one of the most important battles in antiquity has also been one of the most overlooked: the Battle of Kadesh, fought by Ramesses II against the Hittites.  
  	For one thing, it is the earliest known pitched battle to be documented, and the number of troops deployed by both the Egyptians and Hittites may have made it the largest battle ever fought up until that point in time. The organization of the forces, especially the Egyptians, is another intriguing aspect of this battle, because the Egyptians organized their units into divisions, which may be the first such case in history or simply the first time the organization was recorded. 
  	Arguably the most famous aspect of the battle is that it was passed down in ways that barely aligned with reality. Surrounded and swiftly outnumbered, most of the Egyptian soldiers were killed in the battle, and Ramesses II was forced to retreat in order to survive. What is known of the rest of the battle is that the pharaoh rallied his forces, fought on through the battlefield in order to evade capture and death, and managed to get away with only with a fraction of his troops, while the majority of his army lay slain on the field of battle that he left behind him. 
  	Nonetheless, the battle essentially ended in a stalemate, after which there was a period of extended peace and eventually an alliance between the Egyptians and Hittites. The ensuing peace also helped to solidify the Late Bronze Age Near Eastern geopolitical system modern scholars often refer to as the “Great Powers Club,” during which the most powerful empires of the Near East tended to use diplomacy instead of warfare to settle their differences.

  The result is faster, more effective access to opportunities such as clients, speaking engagements, strategic partnerships, and leadership recognition. 
  You will learn how to clarify the point of view you want to be known for, design a book that communicates how you think, and align your publishing efforts with outcomes such as consulting, speaking, and business development.

  Busting the Brass Ceiling - How...

  A policewoman chronicles her historic legal battle against sexism within the LAPD in this “valuable . . . and at times, frightening” memoir (Kirkus Reviews). Former Army major Fanchon Blake dreamed of becoming a top cop. She joined the LAPD in 1948, confident that her efforts and talent would be rewarded. Instead, despite long hours and high achievement ratings, Blake—like all other women on the force—was denied promotion time and again. Over the years, the tenacious officer challenged the LAPD’s discriminatory agenda from within. Eventually, she broke the “blue wall of silence” by going to the press. And when all else failed, Blake saw one last chance to effect change: she filed a complaint against the LAPD with the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in 1973. What followed was a harrowing struggle against discrimination that would make history for women and other minority groups. Despite the ensuing verbal abuse, silent treatment, and intimidation, Blake pushed on. Seven years later, her heroic efforts would finally make it possible for women to bust through the brass ceiling.

  Lady Pamela Berry

  This is a biography lightened with the intimate tone of a social memoir, about a woman who was both a bystander and protagonist through some fifty years of twentieth-century British history. Pamela Berry was the daughter of the buccaneering and brilliant politician and lawyer, FE Smith, the first Earl of Birkenhead, and married the son of another self-made man, William Berry from South Wales, who became Viscount Camrose and the owner of a group of national newspapers, including the Daily Telegraph. She had an unusually glamorous and precocious childhood, spoiled by her adoring father, and much photographed by Cecil Beaton. In her prime she used her position as a newspaper proprietor's wife to become the most famous political and press hostess of her generation, harnessing her beauty and wit to influence successive governments, and was accused of wielding 'petticoat power' during the Suez crisis. She had a decade-long affair with Malcolm Muggeridge, became a vigorous promoter of British fashion, dragging it out of the dowdy fifties, and in later life was active in the museum world.
  
  
  Harriet Cullen has opened a window back into the remarkable story of her mother's life from a rich cache of family diaries and letters, interweaving them with many other unpublished sources. It is revealing, in turns scathing and admiring, but always entertaining.
