  Queen Dido: The History and...

  Carthage was one of the great ancient civilizations, and at its peak, the wealthy Carthaginian empire dominated the Mediterranean against the likes of Greece and Rome, with commercial enterprises and influence stretching from Spain to Turkey. In fact, at several points in history it had a very real chance of replacing the fledgling Roman empire or the failing Greek poleis (city-states) altogether as master of the Mediterranean. Although Carthage by far preferred to exert economic pressure and influence before resorting to direct military power (and even went so far as to rely primarily on mercenary armies paid with its vast wealth for much of its history. 
  	Despite the enmity towards Carthage held by the Greeks and Romans, they nevertheless spent centuries romanticizing and mythologizing its legendary founder, Queen Dido. It’s an established fact that the Phoenicians established a maritime empire with Tyre at the forefront in the early 1st millennium BCE, and from that, the ancients believed that a Phoenician princess named Elisa fled Tyre to North Africa after her brother killed her husband, where she managed to negotiate with local leaders for land and secure the site of Carthage, becoming Queen Dido in the process. The Romans eventually took it further by tying Troy and Carthage to Rome’s legendary founding, with Virgil’s Aeneid claiming Dido had a torrid romance with Aeneas after the Greeks sacked Troy. Ever since, Dido has been the subject of countless works of art over the past 2,000 years and counting.  
  	The story and legends of Queen Dido are among the most remarkable in antiquity, so it’s little surprise that modern historians have sought to uncover the truth, specifically whether Dido actually existed. Though she has long been dismissed as purely mythological and certainly never met Aeneas, some evidence suggests a queen truly did settle Carthage, and the settlement ultimately grew into a magnificent metropolis that quickly outshone its Phoenician roots.

  Political commentator and media personality Will Witt gives young conservatives the ammunition they need to fight back against the liberal media in this instant national bestseller. Popular culture in America today is dominated by the left. Most young people have never even heard of conservative values from someone their age, and if they do, the message is often bland and outdated. Almost every Hollywood actor, musician, media personality, and role model for young people in America rejects conservative values, and Gen Zs and millennials are quick to regurgitate these viewpoints without developing their own opinions on issues.   So many young conservatives in America want to stand up for their beliefs in their classrooms, at their jobs, with their friends, or on social media, but they don't have the tools to do so. In How to Win Friends and Influence Enemies, Will Witt arms Gen Zs and millennials with the knowledge and skills to combat the leftist narrative they hear every day.  Instant National Bestseller!
