Sinopse

In "Sketch of the History of the Knights Templars," James Burnes embarks on a profound exploration of the enigmatic medieval order that has captivated historians and enthusiasts alike. This meticulously researched work combines scholarly rigor with a narrative flair, painting a vivid portrait of the Templars' origins, their ascension during the Crusades, and their dramatic downfall. Through a detailed examination of primary sources and contemporaneous accounts, Burnes elucidates the Templars' role in feudal society and their complex relationship with both the Church and state, framing their history within the larger context of European socio-political struggles of the time. James Burnes, a noted historian with a fervent interest in the intersection of religion and politics, penned this book amid a burgeoning fascination with chivalric orders and their legacy in contemporary culture. His extensive travels through Europe, combined with academic study, provided him with a unique perspective on the Templars, marrying profound historical insight with a passion for storytelling. Burnes'Äô dedication to uncovering lesser-known facts about these knights reflects a broader scholarly trend of revisiting and reinterpreting historical narratives. This work is a must-read for anyone intrigued by medieval history, the Crusades, or the enduring myths surrounding the Knights Templars. It invites readers to transcend simple legend and better understand the real impact of these historical figures, making it an essential addition to the library of both devoted scholars and casual history enthusiasts.

    August 25, 1943. A lone bicyclist transports a cache of explosives, hidden in a beer crate, to a Copenhagen hall being readied to house German troops. In a violent blast, the would-be barracks is reduced to rubble. It's the boldest act yet of Holger Danske and the growing Danish resistance combating the oppressiveness of Hitler's Reich. 
     
     
     
    In 1940, on its way to conquering Western Europe, Germany coerced the Danish government into a "cooperative" agreement that lasted three long years until the increasing brazenness of the Resistance movement prompted a crackdown. Denmark's nearly 8000 Jews, who had so far been spared Hitler's wrath, now became the focus of his rage. A roundup was ordered to begin on October 1st, 1943, the first day of the Jewish New Year. 
     
     
     
    The only passage to safety was across the Oresund to Sweden. But no group existed to organize an escape. Until the last moment, Sweden didn’t agree to allow the refugees into the country; and the strait between the two nations was swarming with Gestapo. What happened next was a miracle. 95% of Denmark's Jews survived the Holocaust, the highest percentage in Europe. Here are the riveting true accounts of ordinary Danes who, using their modest resources, wiles, remarkable courage, and camaraderie, quietly orchestrated their escape.

    How did Vladimir Putin galvanize the Russian people to back his genocidal war in Ukraine, and why are so many of them willing to embrace fascism? This vivid, on-the-ground narrative reveals how Russia's fascist generation came into being—and the dark future that awaits the country if that hold cannot be broken. 
     
     
     
    Wartime Russia is drowning in fascist symbols. Zealous patriots attack journalists, opposition activists, and anyone suspected of betraying the motherland. Russians are urged to join the cause by hordes of online trolls and sleek videos of angry young men bellowing patriotic slogans. State television terrifies viewers with trumped up tales of anti-Russian conspiracies and genocidal yearnings. Child soldiers proudly parade across Red Square. This is Russia in the 2020s: a land of performative rage and nationalist untruth, where play-acting, pretense, and broken promises are a way of life. But in a world where pretense has become the norm, a terrifying, apocalyptic mindset is seizing the Russians of tomorrow. 
     
     
     
    As enrapturing as it is terrifying, Z Generation reveals how Russia ended up where it is today, and where its young people are headed: a fascist generation more zealous, violent, and ideological than anything the country has seen before.
