Genghis Khan

Sinopsis

Genghis Khan was the founder and Great Khan (emperor) of the Mongol Empire, which became the largest contiguous empire in history after his demise. He came to power by uniting many of the nomadic tribes of northeast Asia. After founding the Mongol Empire and being proclaimed "Genghis Khan," he started the Mongol invasions that resulted in the conquest of most of Eurasia. These included raids or invasions of the Kara-Khitan Khanate, Caucasus, Khwarezmid Empire, Western Xia and Jin dynasties. These campaigns were often accompanied by wholesale massacres of the civilian populations – especially in the Khwarezmian controlled lands. By the end of his life, the Mongol Empire occupied a substantial portion of Central Asia and China.

Beyond his military accomplishments, Genghis Khan also advanced the Mongol Empire in other ways. He decreed the adoption of the Uyghur script as the Mongol Empire's writing system. He also promoted religious tolerance in the Mongol Empire, and created a unified empire from the nomadic tribes of northeast Asia. Present-day Mongolians regard him as the founding father of Mongolia. Genghis Khan is also credited with bringing the Silk Road under one cohesive political environment. This increased communication and trade from Northeast Asia to Muslim Southwest Asia and Christian Europe, thus expanding the horizons of all three cultural areas. Historians have noted that Genghis Khan instituted meritocracy, and encouraged religious tolerance.

Biography of Yentin Ongbou Chang...

Ason Ongbou Chang

Yentin Ongbou Chang came from a priestly clan. Due to the various rituals it performs, his clan is prohibited from eating beef and mutton due to the odor from the meat. The biography of Yentin Ongbou Chang is the story of a tribal statesman from the Chang Naga tribe of Northeast India. Yentin Ongbou loved his people and helped them to advance. He lived a traditional life through many societal changes in Nagaland and in India. In the early days, his land and people were remote and unreached. The Chang people fought with other tribes, as well as the British and Indian government for many years before becoming a part of the Indian union. He was a government official for over four decades. He was an ancestor worshipper who later followed Jesus Christ. Yentin Ongbou Chang, with only the traditional tribal education, succeeded in having all his eight children graduate from college. He loved education and from very early on he understood the importance of education.  
Only in recent years, through social media, are the rest of India and the outside world beginning to learn and hear about the people from Northeast India. The geography and the people of Northeast India were not taught in the schools in India. Through The Biography of Yentin Ongbou Chang of a Priestly Clan, we hope we can educate and inform outsiders about the Chang Naga tribe from Nagaland. India is such a diverse country. That diversity is also the greatest strength of India.

Visual Friendlies Tally Target -...

Ethan Brown

"Brown has taken an incredibly complex subject and made it accessible and readable, all while retaining the gravity of history and the sheer intensity of these battlefields. Airpower became a fundamental warfighting tool in the Global War on Terror, and its success depended on the community of JTACs whose experiences populate this important work. They are the unsung heroes of the post-9/11 wars America needs to meet." —David L. Goldfein, General (Ret.), USAF, 21st Chief of Staff 
 
 
 
With a new century and a new enemy came a new kind of war: low intensity and civilian-dominated, blending austere rural and dense urban environments alike. Into this new kind of war, the American military launched two invasions against terrorist networks and military rivals, relying on airpower—close air support (CAS)—at a scale never before seen. 
 
 
 
The Global War on Terror was the "CAS war." Forward Air Controllers were on the front lines, directing airstrikes against enemies in their safe havens, safeguarding friendly forces and civilians alike to their utmost, and achieving unprecedented success with limited resources. This volume captures the heroic accounts of the first Tactical Air Control Party (TACPs) in Afghanistan and Iraq, and how Close Air Support fundamentally reshaped the American war machine in the first five years of the War on Terror.

Oh Well! - The Risk of Wounding...

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
Oh… Well! — The Risk of Wounding with Indifference is a powerful testimony written from the edge of silence and the depth of faith. Jorge Madera shares his journey through childhood abandonment, family fractures, disability, and resilience — always anchored in dignity and fire.
From the first breath of life in El Paso, Texas, through the struggles of survival, loss, and illness, his story is both deeply personal and universally human. This audiobook unites fragments of his previous works into one continuous voice: a voice that refuses to be silenced, even when the body falters.
Inside these chapters, you will hear about:
Beginnings and Roots — early family struggles, survival, and faith.
The Workshop of the Soul — discipline, silence, and character forged without witnesses.
Voices of the Soul — the enduring love of AGAPE and the Quasimodo effect in the brain and beyond.
Time and Judgment — the cost of being a witness, the fire that never asks permission.
Body and Dignity — karma, invisible pain, and the wheelchair as sanctuary.
Love and Mission — family care, fidelity, and a pact of presence.
This is not a self-help manual. It is a testimony, a confession, and an offering — for anyone who has ever carried invisible pain, sought refuge in faith, or longed for dignity when the world looked away.
Oh… Well! is both wound and witness, scar and fire, silence and song. Above all, it is a reminder that even when life wounds with indifference, the soul can still rise with meaning, purpose, and hope.
