  The English Civil Wars - 1640-1660

  A brilliant appraisal of the Civil War and its long-term consequences, by an acclaimed historian. 
   
   
   
  The political upheaval of the mid-seventeenth century has no parallel in English history. Other events have changed the occupancy and the powers of the throne, but the conflict of 1640-60 was more dramatic: the monarchy and the House of Lords were abolished, to be replaced by a republic and military rule. 
   
   
   
  In this wonderfully listenable account, Blair Worden explores the events of this period and their origins—the war between King and Parliament, the execution of Charles I, Cromwell's rule and the Restoration—while aiming to reveal something more elusive: the motivations of contemporaries on both sides and the concerns of later generations.

  The Industrial Revolution was a period of shift in Britain, continental Europe, and the USA from around 1760 till at some point between 1820 and 1840, when new production innovations were introduced. The shift from hand to device production, new chemical and iron production strategies, increased use of steam and waterpower, the development of device tools, and the rise of the mechanized factory system were all part of this change. The Industrial Revolution also introduced a period of remarkable population growth. 
  In regard to work, output value, and capital invested, fabrics were the most essential market throughout the Industrial Revolution. Textiles were also amongst the first markets to adopt modern production methods. 
  The Industrial Revolution started in the U.K., and a lot of the scientific and architectural developments were developed there. 
  Through the activities of the East India Company, Britain was the world's leading industrial country by the mid-18th century, controlling a worldwide trading empire with groups in the USA and Canada and the Caribbean, and significant army and political hegemony on the Indian subcontinent, especially with the proto-industrialized Mughal Bengal. 
  One of the essential reasons for the Industrial Revolution was the development of trade and the rise of business. 
  Let’s explore in which area the revolution made all its changes, and what consequences this had for families, child labor, the economy, farmers, and politics.

  The Last Commander - The Once...

  The compelling inside story of how America abandoned Afghanistan. 
   
   
   
  When America retreated from Kabul amid chaos in 2021, Lieutenant General Sami Sadat, the last commander of the army of the Afghan republic, was still fighting to the end. In this firsthand account, he reveals how his troops were starved of ammunition for two years before the final pullout, while America was glad-handing the Taliban. Although Sadat spent his early career fighting alongside the CIA to track down al-Qaeda in the mountains of the Hindu Kush, it was in conventional combat—leading from the front—that he made his name. In The Last Commander, he contends that Afghanistan could have won the war if support had continued. President Biden may have ended America's longest war, but the story does not end there. Now Sadat's birth country is plunged into barbarism, where women are beaten for showing their face and his former comrades are hunted down and killed. But Sadat is planning to fight back. It will not be easy, but this riveting personal account of combat shows that if anyone can do it, he can. 
   
   
   
  Sadat's story was told in the Emmy Award–winning documentary Retrograde. Now he tells it for himself.

  Asian Immigration in the United...

  One of the most important and memorable events of the United States’ westward push across the frontier came with the discovery of gold in the lands that became California in January 1848. Located thousands of miles away from the country’s power centers on the east coast at the time, the announcement came a month before the Mexican-American War had ended, and among the very few Americans that were near the region at the time, many of them were Army soldiers who were participating in the war and garrisoned there. San Francisco was still best known for being a Spanish military and missionary outpost during the colonial era, and only a few hundred called it home. Mexico’s independence, and its possession of those lands, had come only a generation earlier. 
  The flow of Chinese immigrants increased dramatically in 1852, sparked in large part by a crop failure in southern China that caused the custom houses in San Francisco to swell with 20,026 Chinese arrivals. Even more Chinese came as news reached China about the apparent ease of mining in California. By the end of the decade, ⅕ of the population of the Southern Mines consisted of Chinese miners. Chinese miners would become known as the most industrious and tireless of the miners, finding gold in claims that previous owners had thought depleted and persisting in mining an area far longer than others who eventually left the fields altogether. 
  In many ways, this represented the start of an influx of immigrants coming from Asia to the United States, kicking off an often turbulent relationship and history that would lead to alienation, conflicts, immigration quotas, and more. This book looks at that history from the start, and how it affected those who came from Asia in the 19th century.
