Sinopsis

Frederick Douglass: All 3 Memoirs in One Volume is a comprehensive collection that combines three influential autobiographical works by the esteemed abolitionist and orator Frederick Douglass. The book offers readers a first-hand account of Douglass' experiences as a slave, his escape to freedom, and his subsequent career as a prominent social reformer. Written in a candid and poignant style, these memoirs provide a powerful insight into the historical and social context of the 19th century, shedding light on the struggles and triumphs of African Americans during that time. Douglass' vivid descriptions and profound reflections elevate the literary value of this collection, making it a significant contribution to American literature. Frederick Douglass, a former slave turned influential abolitionist, dedicated his life to fighting against the injustice of slavery and advocating for civil rights. His personal experiences as a slave fueled his passion for social change, and his eloquent writings and speeches continue to inspire and educate readers today. His unique perspective as a former slave adds authenticity and depth to his memoirs, making them essential reading for anyone interested in American history and civil rights. I highly recommend Frederick Douglass: All 3 Memoirs in One Volume to those seeking a profound and enlightening exploration of the struggles and achievements of African Americans in the 19th century. This collection not only offers valuable historical insights but also showcases Douglass' remarkable storytelling ability and unwavering commitment to justice and equality.

How to Lose a War - The Story of...

Amin Saikal

An incisive, authoritative account of the West's failures in Afghanistan, from 9/11 to the fall of Kabul 
 
 
  
In 1958, Richard Nixon described Afghanistan as "unconquerable." On August 15, 2021, he was proven right. After twenty years of intervention, US and NATO forces retreated, enabling the Taliban to return to power. Tens of thousands were killed in the long, unwinnable war, and millions more were displaced—leaving the future of Afghanistan hanging in the balance. 
 
 
  
Leading expert Amin Saikal traces the full story of America's intervention, from 9/11 to the present crisis. After an initial swift military strike, the US became embroiled in a drawn-out struggle to change Afghanistan but failed to achieve its aims. Saikal shows how this failure was underlined by protracted attempts to capture Osama bin Laden, an inability to secure a viable government via "democracy promotion" efforts, and lack of wider strategy in the "war on terror." 
 
 
  
How to Lose a War offers an insightful account of one of the US's most significant foreign policy failures—and considers its dire consequences for the people of Afghanistan.

Gregory Heary

How did personal convictions lead to religious revolutions in the lives of the Sahabah? Explore the transformative power of belief through the lives of those who walked with the Prophet.The Sahabah are the Muslim companions of the Prophet Muhammad. This category of people are known as Ahl-Kitab Sahabah because they had previously believed in the previous Islamic prophets such as Moses and Jesus as well as books of divine revelation prior to meeting Muhammad and confirming his message as the God-given truth.

In the heart of Islamic history, former Jews and Christians like Abdullah bin Salam and Salman al-Farsi changed their entire worldviews, embracing Islam after profound encounters with the Prophet Muhammad. The author, a former Christian who became Muslim himself, brings these stories to life, highlighting the themes of wisdom, humility, and the quest for truth.

Everest the Hard Way - The first...

Chris Bonington

50th Anniversary Edition
Everest – the highest peak in the world, the ultimate challenge to a mountaineer's skill and endurance. It had been climbed before, but never like this. Chris Bonington and his team had ambitions to climb it – the hard way.
Yet before Bonington and his team set out in August 1975, even their well-wishers gave them only a fifty–fifty chance of success. The South West Face of Everest had already defeated five expeditions, including one led by Bonington himself.
Everest the Hard Way is an exhilarating story of courage, endurance and teamwork. Bonington's narrative celebrates the big moments and recreates the excitement and danger of the climb with vivid immediacy. He shares the logistical problems involved in keeping a large expedition moving, and the very real psychological ones of balancing and pairing lead climbers and giving each a chance to make the route on the face. He describes the constant avalanche threat which made the Western Cwm more dangerous than the ever-treacherous Ice Fall, and explains how lowering the sites of camps 4 and 5 solved a supply problem and kept the upward momentum for the attack on the notorious thousand-foot-tall Rock Band at 27,000 feet which had barred the way to the summit for all previous attempts.
Drawing upon his experiences and the first-hand accounts and diaries of his fellow climbers, Bonington gives us the first-time jitters and unexpected emergencies, the pressures of balancing egos and skills, the meticulous planning, and the undiluted joy of mastering a seemingly impossible climb which would see Britons stand on the summit of the world for the first time. It is an immensely absorbing narrative, stunningly augmented with photographs and maps, with eleven appendices on everything from communications and equipment to food and medicine.
How Bonington's team climbed on Everest in 1975 bears no relation to how Everest is climbed fifty years on, with endless resources and helicopter support. It was much riskier in 1975. Weather forecasts were threadbare and, although equipment was improving, it was much more basic than today, so the risk of frostbite was much greater for mountaineers in the 1970s. These climbers, the best of their generation, were leading hard new ground in the only style which gave them a meaningful chance of success. Chris Bonington's Everest the Hard Way is a beautiful, fascinating and tragic story of their legendary achievement.
