  Timothy Venning's series of alternative histories explores the pathways of British events from the Anglo-Saxon Age to the English Civil War. In this volume, he presents an in-depth analysis of the Tudor period. Venning discusses the fateful moments at which history could easily have taken a different turn. 
   
   
   
  In a fascinating series of "what if" scenarios, Venning presents a detailed look at the possible and likely results. While speculative, the scenarios are all plausible and rooted in a firm understanding of actually events and their context. In so doing, Venning gives listeners a clearer understanding of the factors at play and why things happened the way they did, as well as a tantalizing view of what might have been. 
   
   
   
  Key questions discussed include: 
   
   
   
  ● Did the pretenders Lambert Simnel and Perkin Warbeck ever have a realistic chance of a successful invasion/coup? 
   
   
   
  ● If Henry Fitzroy, Henry VIIIs illegitimate son, had not died young, might he have been a suitable King? 
   
   
   
  ● What if Edward VI had not died at fifteen but reigned into the 1560s and 70s? 
   
   
   
  ● How might the Spanish Armada have succeeded in landing an army in England, and with what likely outcome?

  An Introduction to the Irish...

  During the Irish Civil War, events of late 1922 and early 1923 together with waves of 'dishonourable' killings created poisoned relations between Republicans and 'Free Staters' which would last for several generations. The most enduring of these controversies, a policy of summary executions carried out by the Provisional Government from November 1922, continues to surround the argument.
  
  
  This book offers a fresh perspective on the causes, development and consequences of the Irish Civil War. Triggered by the signing of the Anglo-Treaty, there were those that would accept nothing less than complete Irish independence. Very few IRA commanders active in the field supported the Treaty and, as happens often in the dissection of civil wars, controversy over the conduct of both sides figures heavily within the text, where,  at a local and national level, it left bitter legacies.
  
  
  This book offers an overview of the war in all regions of Ireland.

  In this deeply moving and transformative audiobook, Dr. Joy Degruy presents a groundbreaking exploration of the enduring effects of slavery and racism on African American identity, behavior, and culture. Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome  combines decades of research, historical analysis, and lived experience to unveil how the trauma of slavery has been transmitted across generations - shaping the emotional. psychological, and social landscape of Black communities today. 
  Dr. Degruy introduces the concept of Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome (PTSS) - a condition resulting from centuries of oppression, the absence of opportunity to heal, and the continued presence of systemic racism. Through compelling storytelling, she reveals how this intergenerational trauma manifests in patterns of low self-esteem, internalized racism, and anger - yet she also shows that these patterns are not immutable. With compassion and clarity, Degruy guides listeners towards understanding the deep historical roots of these challenges while emphasizing the extraordinary resilience, creativity, and strength that have allowed African Americans to survive and thrive in the face of adversity. 
  Whether you are a student of history, a mental health professional, or simply a listener seeking to understand America's unfinished journey toward justice, this audiobook will leave you informed, challenged and ultimately inspired to be part of the healing.

  The Byzantine-Sassanid Wars -...

  The Byzantine-Sassanid Wars were a series of conflicts between two of the most powerful empires of the ancient world: the Byzantine Empire, which was the eastern continuation of the Roman Empire, and the Sassanid Empire, the dominant Persian state in the region. These wars spanned several centuries, with periodic intervals of peace, but the conflicts fundamentally shaped the history of the Middle East and had profound implications for the future of both empires. 
  The Byzantine Empire, centered around the city of Constantinople, inherited the legacy of Rome after the Western Roman Empire fell in the 5th century. Under the leadership of Emperor Justinian I in the 6th century, the Byzantine Empire reached its greatest territorial extent, but its eastern frontier, bordering the Sassanid Persian Empire, remained a volatile region. The Sassanid Empire, founded by Ardashir I in the 3rd century, was a formidable military power that sought to expand its influence in the East and to challenge the supremacy of Rome and later, the Byzantine Empire. 
  The conflicts between these two empires were not only territorial struggles but also ideological battles. Both empires sought to exert control over strategic regions, particularly the eastern Mediterranean, the Levant, and Mesopotamia. The Byzantines were primarily concerned with the defense of their empire and their Christian faith, which was a central aspect of their identity. Meanwhile, the Sassanids, who adhered to Zoroastrianism, viewed the Byzantine Empire as a rival both politically and religiously. This religious dimension added complexity to the conflict, as each empire sought to spread and protect its belief system.
