The Albigensian Crusade -...

Nova Ashford

The Albigensian Crusade, which took place between 1209 and 1229, was a significant and brutal religious conflict that marked a turning point in medieval France. It was launched by the Catholic Church under Pope Innocent III to eradicate the Cathar heresy, a dualistic religious movement that flourished in the Languedoc region of southern France. The crusade is often remembered not only for its religious motivations but also for its political and social implications. This chapter aims to introduce the Albigensian Crusade, its causes, key players, and lasting consequences.
The roots of the Albigensian Crusade lay in the growing tensions between the Catholic Church and the Cathars. The Cathars, also known as Albigensians due to their strong presence in the town of Albi, held beliefs that starkly contrasted with orthodox Catholic teachings. They viewed the material world as evil, emphasizing a stark division between the spiritual and material realms. This dualism, along with their rejection of Catholic sacraments and clergy, was seen as a direct threat to the authority of the Church. Over time, the Cathar movement spread rapidly in southern France, a region that was politically independent and had a long history of resistance to royal and papal authority.
At the time, southern France was under the control of various noble families, the most powerful of which was the House of Toulouse. The Count of Toulouse, Raymond VI, was a key figure in the Albigensian Crusade, as he was accused of harboring and supporting the Cathars. While Raymond’s motivations were complex, his apparent reluctance to persecute the Cathars made him an easy target for the papacy, which saw him as an obstacle to its desire for religious unity and control over the region.

Smoky God The - A Voyage to the...

Willis George Emerson

It may be that the true home of Apollo was not at Delphi, but in that older earth-center of which Plato speaks, where he says: "Apollo's real home is among the Hyperboreans, in a land of perpetual life, where mythology tells us two doves flying from the two opposite ends of the world met in this fair region, the home of Apollo. Indeed, according to Hecataeus, Leto, the mother of Apollo, was born on an island in the Arctic Ocean far beyond the North Wind."

How to Fight a War

Mike Martin

An indispensable guide to understanding modern warfare, especially the decisions made by politicians and generals?both good and bad. 
 
Has any war in history gone according to plan? Monarchs, dictators and elected leaders alike have a dismal record on military decision-making, from over-ambitious goals to disregarding intelligence, terrain, or enemy capabilities. This not only wastes the lives of civilians, the enemy and one’s own soldiers, but also fails to achieve geopolitical objectives, and usually lays the seeds for more wars down the line. 
 
Conflict scholar and former soldier Mike Martin takes the reader through the hard, elegant logic to fighting a conclusive interstate war that solves geopolitical problems, and reduces future conflict. In cool and precise prose, he outlines how to orchestrate military forces, from infantry to information, and from strategy to tactics. 
 
How to Fight a War explains the unavoidable, yet seemingly elusive, art of using violence to force your enemies to do what you want. It should be read by everyone seeking to understand today’s wars, as well as those wishing to lead us through the coming decades of conflict.
