Sinopse

Special Forces explores the world of elite military units, revealing their evolution, selection processes, and ethical considerations in modern warfare. It traces their origins from World War II commandos to today's counter-terrorism specialists, highlighting how geopolitical shifts and technological advancements have shaped their tactics. The book argues that these forces are instruments of national power, whose effectiveness depends on rigorous selection, innovative training, and understanding strategic and ethical limitations.

 
The book is structured in three parts. Part One introduces the concept of special forces, tracing their historical roots and defining the key attributes that distinguish them from conventional military units. Part Two delves into the selection and training processes, examining the psychological and physiological demands placed on candidates and the innovative techniques used to prepare them for high-risk missions. Part Three analyzes the deployment of special forces in various operational contexts, from counter-terrorism operations to unconventional warfare and humanitarian assistance, highlighting both their successes and failures while considering the legal and ethical implications of their actions in a globalized world.

 
This study provides a comprehensive view, drawing from primary accounts, military manuals, and declassified documents. This approach provides a balanced assessment of the capabilities and constraints of special forces, offering insights into their role in shaping foreign policy, addressing psychological resilience under stress, and grappling with moral dilemmas inherent in their operations.

    In "The Roman Empire the Empire of the Edomite," William Beeston throws a curveball at history, proposing a bold connection between the mighty Romans and the ancient Edomites of Jordan. Published in 1853, this controversial book dives deep into both groups' history and culture, searching for evidence of a shared ancestry. Beeston links similarities in language, customs, and even religion to paint a picture of the Romans as descendants of the Edomites. While mainstream historians largely reject his arguments due to lack of concrete proof, the book remains a fascinating exploration of these intertwined civilizations, offering a unique perspective on their origins and interactions.

  • Thomas Jefferson Survives - American Independence in His Time and Ours - cover

    Thomas Jefferson Survives -...

    “Does Thomas Jefferson still matter?” ask two leading historians on the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. 
      
    Thomas Jefferson has been reinvented more than perhaps any American president in history. In the nineteenth century, slavery’s defenders invoked Jefferson’s defense of states’ rights while abolitionists drew on his antislavery writings in support of their cause. After the Civil War, Jefferson’s reputation declined because of his association with secession and disunion, but in the twentieth century, his image soared as he came to embody the democratic values America fought for during World War II.  
      
    Unsurprisingly, Jefferson’s legacy has shifted yet again in the twenty-first century, effectively becoming a partisan talisman—jettisoned by the left as a plantation patriarch and repurposed by the right as an avatar of white nationalism. Dissatisfied with these political caricatures and manic swings, leading Jefferson scholars Peter S. Onuf and Francis D. Cogliano instead situate the founding father in his complicated historical context and reveal how his wisdom can be applied today.  
      
    In a series of three interrelated essays, the authors paint a nuanced portrait. “Generations” elucidates how Jefferson’s understanding of history shaped his responses to the major problems of his time. “My Country” delves into how he conceived of the American homeland, and “The People” unravels how Jefferson articulated a new national identity in the Declaration of Independence.  
      
    Taken together, Thomas Jefferson Survives demonstrates how even amid crisis, Jefferson managed to articulate a capacious and optimistic vision for the future of the American people. As Pulitzer Prize–winning historian Annette Gordon-Reed writes in her foreword, “As much as Jefferson reflected the often-benighted times in which he lived, he rose above them in ways that have a great deal to tell us about the political straits in which we find ourselves.” After all, Jefferson knew better than anyone that 1776 was an important moment, but not the only moment, for Americans to write a better future. 
      
    “A powerful argument for the continuing importance of Thomas Jefferson in our troubled and turbulent times. These two great scholars of Jeffersonian America, using Jefferson’s belief in generational sovereignty and his utter faith in us, that is, the future generations of American people, have brilliantly described for us the various ways Jefferson still matters.”—Gordon Wood, Pulitzer Prize–winning historian and author of Friends Divided

    Digging into a forgotten past - and the dead left behind.  San Francisco is famous for not having any cemeteries, but the claim isn't exactly what it seems. In the early 20th Century, the city relocated more than 150,000 graves to the nearby town of Colma to make way for a rapidly growing population. But an estimated fifty to sixty thousand burials were quietly built over and forgotten, only to resurface every time a new building project began. The dead still lie beneath some of the city's most cherished destinations, including the Legion of Honor, United Nations Plaza, the Asian Art Museum and the University of San Francisco.  Join author Beth Winegarner as she maps the city's early burial grounds and brings back to life the dead who've been erased.
