Sinopse

Combat biographies of seven ace pilots flying for the Nazi German air force during World War II, featuring in-the-cockpit accounts of aerial dogfights. Whether providing support for the blitzkrieg in Poland and France, bombing British cities and industrial centers, or attacking Allied fighters and bombers in the light of day and dark of night, the Luftwaffe revolutionized aerial warfare and experienced some of World War II’s most harrowing combat. For the pilots who carried out these missions, every flight meant possible death and certain danger. Franz Kurowski puts readers in the cockpit with seven of these men—three day-fighter, on night-fighter, one close-support, and two bomber pilots—who were among the most successful ever to take to the skies.

    Kublai Khan: The Life and Legacy...

    Aside from Genghis, the most famous of the Mongolian rulers was Genghis’s grandson, Kublai Khan, who was raised as Mongolian in the traditional way, but also exposed to Chinese culture. Kublai’s father Tolui made sure all of his sons could ride and hunt, but he was apparently also concerned that they understood the characteristics and possibilities of the more settled regions under Mongolian rule. Thus, while Kublai and his brothers were still boys, his grandfather Genghis arranged a great Mongolian hunt. This traditional event involved many thousands of riders starting in a great circle and gradually moving into the center, driving the game in front of them. It was a hunt, but it was also a traditional kind of practice military exercise. Kublai killed a couple of small animals, and Genghis is reported to have been pleased with his grandsons.  
    	As Great Khan, Kublai Khan ruled the Mongolian Empire from his capital in modern-day Beijing, with a court that included Mongolians, Arabs, and Persians from throughout his empire. While Genghis may have been a warrior, Kublai was a man of culture, intellect and curiosity, and his court was a luxurious one rich in art, music, and goods. Under his reign, trade along the Silk Road was both easier and more efficient than ever before. Toll gates were removed, and traders could move freely from place to place. It was said that even women could travel safely with goods without fear of harm.  
    	Kublai was clearly an influential ruler, but what helped his legacy endure was that he hosted the famous Italian traveler Marco Polo, who stayed in China for years and described what he saw in detail. When Marco Polo’s travelogue was published back in Europe, it immediately became one of the most famous works on the continent, and while modern historians still debate which parts were factual and fictional, there can be no question that Kublai Khan was a monumental leader in Asia.

    Sisterly Love is about the unique bonds of sisterhood and depicts eras and places as seen through the lives of two sisters as they come and go at will in each other's lives, following a need to relate their memories or explore their present. 
    This is not a story with its conventional beginning, middle and end, although all that does happen in it.  So there is a story-line, but it is not conventionally told. 
    The story of their lives begins in the early years of the twentieth century with the usual sibling rivalries and disputes exaggerated by the presence of an obnoxious aunt and we revisit them from time to time.starting in the nineteen thirties. Elsie typifies the solid, conservative, hard-working office girl. Lillian shifts with ease from one boyfriend to another, from one husband to another, from one boss to another, from one country to another, yet she always returns to take refuge by either Elsie's or Horace's (their young brother's) home fires. By dint of Lillian's wanderings, the novel moves from London to an English country village, to South Africa, to Australia, to Spain, back to London, all vividly evoked through reminiscence. 
    It is loneliness in their advancing years which forces them into each other's company, despite themselves. It is the sadness of having nothing else in life which inevitably flings them against one another painfully peeling away the layers of their past existences and forcing them to surrender themselves to the irritating state of undesired dependence. 
    It is the inescapable pathos of two lives reduced by the passing years to grumpy proximity in a small bed-sitter that breathes life into Sisterly Love. .. My aim was to write about how youth transforms into old age with a certain humour, sadness and sensitivity.     D.H. Madrid, 2019

    What if the hero of World War II wasn’t as heroic as history remembers? 
    Winston Churchill is widely celebrated as the indomitable leader who stood against tyranny and rallied a nation in its darkest hour. But behind the rousing speeches and iconic persona lies a far more complicated figure—one whose decisions, beliefs, and actions raise hard questions about power, privilege, and morality. 
    The Dark Side of Winston Churchill strips away the myth to reveal the man—and forces us to confront the full truth of his legacy. 
    This provocative and deeply researched book examines the contradictions, controversies, and consequences of Churchill’s political career, from his involvement in the Bengal Famine and colonial repression to his perspectives on race, empire, and social class. Drawing on primary sources, personal letters, and historical records, it paints a nuanced portrait of a man revered by some and reviled by others. 
    Inside, you’ll discover: 
    How Churchill’s imperialist ideology shaped British policies from India to Africa 
    His controversial decisions during World War II—and their human cost 
    The political maneuvering and rhetoric that built his myth while obscuring uncomfortable truths 
    How Churchill’s legacy continues to influence modern politics, nationalism, and historical memory 
    History isn’t just what we remember—it’s also what we choose to forget. 
    👉 Buy The Dark Side of Winston Churchill today and take a bold step beyond the myth.
