Sinopse

World War II was the largest and most violent armed conflict in the history of mankind. Highly relevant today, World War II has much to teach us, not only about the profession of arms, but also about military preparedness, global strategy, and combined operations in the coalition war against fascism. This book follows military operations of the US Army in Tunisia from 17 November 1942 to 13 May 1943. 
Victory at Casablanca, Oran, and Algiers gave the United States Army and its British ally solid toeholds in the western Mediterranean Theater of Operations. But it offered no guarantee of easy access to Italy or southern Europe, or even to the eastern end of the Mediterranean, where the British desperately needed assistance to secure Egypt and strategic resources in the Near East. The sudden entrance of American forces during 8-11 November 1942 created an awkward deployment in which two pairs of opposing armies fought in North Africa, one in Tunisia, the other in Libya. Neither Axis nor Allies found any satisfaction in the situation; much fighting remained before either adversary could consider North Africa secure...

    A Fascinating Exploration on Why the Darwinists' Theory No Longer Explains Everything 
     
     
     
    Everywhere there are characteristics of animals that do not want to fit into the theory of evolution anywhere. And man? Are we really the most adapted life-form on this planet? Today, more and more scientists who contradict the previous theory of evolution speak out. The theory fits the changes within the species, but it can no longer be reconciled with the inner workings of the cell. Some other influence that has so far escaped us is affecting evolution. It is called "Intelligent Design." Intelligent planning is suspected behind this. Anyone or anything—a spirit of the universe? aliens?—could be behind this planning. 
     
     
     
    In this must-listen book, Erich von Däniken uses countless examples to demonstrate the impossibility of the previous evolutionary idea. He quotes scientists who argue against the previous teaching, but also those who defend it. Unfortunately, established science still refuses to look at discrepancies and holes in the theory of evolution, even though it is quite obvious that there is more going on with regard to the development of all species, as well as human culture, than could be explained by the theory of evolution alone.

  • Persian Wars and the Punic Wars The: The History of the Ancient Greek and Roman Victories that Preserved Western Civilization - cover

    Persian Wars and the Punic Wars...

    The Ancient Greeks have long been considered the forefathers of modern Western civilization, but the Golden Age of Athens and the spread of Greek influence across much of the known world only occurred due to one of the most crucial battles of antiquity: the Battle of Marathon. In 491 B.C., following a successful invasion of Thrace over the Hellespont, the Persian emperor Darius sent envoys to the main Greek city-states, including Sparta and Athens, demanding tokens of earth and water as symbols of submission, but Darius didn’t exactly get the reply he sought. According to Herodotus in his famous Histories, “Xerxes however had not sent to Athens or to Sparta heralds to demand the gift of earth, and for this reason, namely because at the former time when Dareios had sent for this very purpose, the one people threw the men who made the demand into the pit and the others into a well, and bade them take from thence earth and water and bear them to the king.”  
    In the wake of Thermopylae, the Athenians watched in horror as Xerxes’ troops plundered the defenseless city, set it aflame, and razed the Acropolis. However, the Athenians remained belligerent, in part because according to the oracle at Delphi, “only the wooden wall shall save you.” Indeed, this would prove true when Themistocles managed to lure the Persian fleet into the straits of Salamis.  
    Although the Romans gained the upper hand in the wake of the First Punic War, Hannibal brought the Romans to their knees for over a decade during the Second Punic War. While military historians are still amazed that he was able to maintain his army in Italy near Rome for nearly 15 years, scholars are still puzzled over some of his decisions, including why he never attempted to march on Rome in the first place. After the serious threat Hannibal posed during the Second Punic War, the Romans didn’t wait much longer to take the fight to the Carthaginians in the Third Punic War.

    "Apology" is a philosophical dialogue written by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato. The dialogue is a dramatization of the trial of Socrates, in which he is accused of corrupting the youth of Athens and impiety. The dialogue is set in 399 BC and recounts Socrates' defense before the Athenian court. 
    The dialogue is divided into three parts: Socrates' defense, the verdict, and the sentencing. In his defense, Socrates argues that he has been falsely accused and that he has only sought to bring greater wisdom and understanding to his fellow Athenians. He also reflects on his own mortality and the nature of the human soul. 
    Throughout the dialogue, Plato uses Socrates as a mouthpiece for his own philosophical ideas, particularly his belief in the importance of reason and the pursuit of truth. Socrates is portrayed as a wise and virtuous figure who is committed to living a life of integrity and to teaching others to do the same. 
    The dialogue has been widely studied and debated over the centuries and is regarded as a foundational text of Western philosophy. It offers a powerful reflection on the nature of truth, justice, and virtue, as well as on the role of the individual in society. It remains a valuable and thought-provoking work of philosophy that continues to be read and studied today. 
    Overall, "Apology" is a timeless and influential work of philosophy that offers a fascinating glimpse into the mind of one of history's greatest thinkers. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of philosophy, the nature of truth and justice, or the legacy of ancient Greece.
