Sinopse

In "The Chronicle of the Discovery and Conquest of Guinea (Vol. 1&2)," Gomes Eannes de Zurara meticulously documents the early Portuguese explorations and conquests along the West African coast during the 15th century. Written in a prose style characteristic of medieval chronicles, the text weaves historical fact with narrative flair, presenting a vivid account of the encounters between Europeans and indigenous peoples. This work not only charts the ambitious endeavors of Portuguese explorers but also reflects the era'Äôs complex interplay of commerce, conquest, and cultural exchange, situating it firmly within the canon of exploratory literature of the Age of Discovery. Gomes Eannes de Zurara, a contemporary of the events he chronicles, served as a royal secretary and chronicler in the court of Prince Henry the Navigator. His close association with influential figures in the maritime expansion of Portugal provided him unique access to firsthand accounts and documents. Zurara's personal investment in this period of exploration, coupled with his commitment to literary craft, allowed him to shape a narrative that elucidates both the triumphs and moral ambiguities of colonial ventures. This monumental work is recommended for scholars and general readers alike, as it serves as an essential primary source for understanding the motivations and consequences of early European imperialism. "The Chronicle of the Discovery and Conquest of Guinea" offers a gripping lens through which to examine the profound historical transformations initiated by exploration, making it a vital addition to any library focused on world history.

    A full account of the Luzon campaign, from the planning stages to the surrender of the Japanese general Yamashita.
    
    The Luzon campaign of 1945 was the longest island campaign of the Pacific War, lasting from January 1945 to September 1945, and only ended with the surrender of Imperial Japan. It is often overlooked or mentioned in passing by most histories of that war, yet hundreds of thousands of Americans and Japanese fought in some of the worst conditions imaginable for eight months to clear Luzon of the invaders.
    
    This full account of the Luzon campaign stretches from planning stages to the end of the war and the surrender of over 50,000 Japanese troops under the noted Japanese general Yamashita. The landings at Lingayen Gulf, the Battle for Manila and the recapture of Corregidor are all included, as well as lesser-known battles for the summer capital of Baguio, the battle for Manila's water supply, constant jungle fighting, the raids to rescue Allied POWs, the recapture of Bataan, destruction of the only Japanese armored division to fight in the Pacific, American parachute drops on Corregidor and Aparri, and much more. Individual acts of heroism are highlighted as are the interactions among the senior commanders involved, including General MacArthur, General Krueger (6th Army) and General Eichelberger (8th Army). The book ends with the surrender of Imperial Japan and the end of the Luzon Campaign in September 1945.
