Beschreibung

In "Persian Empire," George Rawlinson presents a meticulously detailed exploration of one of history's most influential civilizations. The book deftly intertwines narrative and analysis, employing a scholarly style that is both accessible and engaging. Rawlinson's work is anchored in the context of the 19th century, a period marked by a growing Western interest in Eastern cultures and a revival of classical studies, making his narrative rich with both historical insights and contemporary reflections. The extensive use of primary sources, including inscriptions and ancient texts, lends a robust authenticity to his portrayal of the Empire's vast expanse and cultural complexities. George Rawlinson, a noted historian and linguist, was heavily influenced by his experiences studying ancient languages and cultures. His position as a key figure in the translation of the cuneiform inscriptions allowed him unique access to the primary materials that inform this work. Rawlinson's academic rigor, paired with his passion for the subject, drove him to illuminate the Persian Empire's contributions to governance, art, and society, often overlooked in Western narratives. "Persian Empire" is a must-read for scholars, students, and general readers alike, offering profound insights into the dynamics of power, culture, and legacy in ancient Persia. This book not only enriches our understanding of historical empires but also invites readers to consider the lessons they impart for contemporary society.

    The 1960s was a tumultuous period in this country's history by any measure, with the Civil Rights Movement taking center stage. The social and political unrest that defined this era provided a turbulent backdrop for a burgeoning friendship between two families: one black - the Sims, and one white - the Davids. Their compelling story unfolds via heartfelt correspondence and acts of genuine kindness untainted by prejudice. The ensuing publicity would cast a much-needed spotlight on discrimination, but also call into question their motives and deeds. Despite this, the Sims and Davids forged a fellowship, through benevolence and strength of faith, that served as a beacon of hope for all who would strive for racial harmony.

    For much of the 20th century, Latin American governments in large part lived under a system of military junta governments. The mixture of indigenous peoples, foreign settlers and European colonial superpowers produced cultural and social imbalances into which military forces intervened as a stabilizing influence. The proactive personalities of military heads and the rigid structures of such a hierarchy guaranteed the “strong man” commanding officer an abiding presence in the form of executive dictator. Such leaders often bore the more collaborative title of “President,” but the reality was, in most cases, identical. Likewise, the gap between rich and poor was often vast, and a disappearance of the middle class fed a frequent urge for revolution, reenergizing the military’s intent to stop it. With no stabilizing center, the ideologies most prevalent in such conflicts alternated between a federal model of industrial and social nationalization and an equally conservative structure under privatized ownership and autocratic rule drawn from the head of a junta government.  
    	Whichever belief system was in play for the major industrial nations of Central and South America, a constant bombardment of foreign influence pushed the people of states such as Nicaragua, Chile, Brazil, Argentina, and others toward overthrow, in one direction or the other. To the left came Stalinist influences from the Soviet Union and Castro’s Cuba, while the German World War II model and an anti-communist mindset from the United States worked behind the scenes to upset any movement toward extreme liberalism. The tacit acceptance of these right-wing dictators across South America was part of an overarching effort known as Operation Condor, consisting mostly of CIA operations that are as infamous and controversial as ever, with a lasting legacy that affects current events such as reactions to the ongoing unrest in Venezuela.
