Sinopse

Buddhism Spread explores the remarkable journey of Buddhism from its origins in India to its profound influence across Asia. The book highlights Buddhism's transformative impact on art, politics, and daily life, examining how it reshaped cultural and political landscapes. A key insight is that Buddhism's success stemmed from its adaptability, integrating seamlessly with existing traditions rather than simply being imposed.

 
The book traces Buddhism's expansion in three parts. It first grounds the reader in Buddhism's Indian origins, exploring the life of Siddhartha Gautama and core teachings like the Four Noble Truths. Next, it follows the routes of Buddhist expansion through China (via the Silk Road), Japan, and Southeast Asia, showing how it adapted in each region. For example, in Japan, Buddhism intertwined with Shinto and influenced samurai culture.

 
Finally, it analyzes Buddhism's lasting effects on Asian art, political systems, and ethics. Unlike many books that focus solely on religion, this work adopts a holistic approach, connecting Buddhism's spread to cultural, political, and social developments. Drawing from primary texts, archaeological findings, and interdisciplinary scholarship, this book provides readers with a clear framework for understanding the historical roots of contemporary issues in Asia.

The Will to Conquer - Mastering...

A.A. Castor

The Will to Conquer: Mastering Power, Strategy, and the Art of War is a manifesto for those who refuse to be ruled. Power is not a privilege granted by fate—it is seized by those with the vision, discipline, and ruthlessness to take it. 
In this book, A.A. Castor dismantles the myths of fairness, morality, and justice, exposing them for what they truly are: illusions designed to keep the weak in submission. Drawing from the principles of history's greatest strategists—Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, Nietzsche, and beyond—The Will to Conquer explores the foundations of dominance, manipulation, and control. 
This book reveals: 
✔ The Laws of Power – How rulers impose their will and eliminate opposition. 
✔ The Art of Strategy – Why battles are won before they are fought. 
✔ The Psychology of a Ruler – How to think beyond morality and hesitation. 
✔ The Mastery of Deception – Why perception is more powerful than reality. 
✔ The Will to Power – How to overcome fear, doubt, and self-imposed limitations. 
Power does not wait for the patient, nor does it reward those who seek validation. It belongs to those who demand it. If you are ready to break free from the illusions of the weak and forge your own destiny, this book will show you the way. 
"There is no universal law—only the law of those strong enough to impose it."

Mao's Army Goes to Sea - The...

Toshi Yoshihara

From 1949 to 1950, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) made crucial decisions to establish a navy and secure China's periphery. The civil war had been fought with a peasant army, yet in order to capture key offshore islands from the Nationalist rival, Mao Zedong needed to develop maritime capabilities. Mao's Army Goes to Sea is a ground-breaking history of the founding of the Chinese navy and Communist China's earliest island-seizing campaigns. 
 
 
 
In this definitive account of a critical moment in China's naval history, Toshi Yoshihara shows that Chinese leaders refashioned the stratagems and tactics honed over decades of revolutionary struggle on land for nautical purposes. Despite significant challenges, the PLA ultimately scored important victories over its Nationalist foes as it captured offshore islands to secure its position. 
 
 
 
Drawing extensively from newly available Chinese-language sources, this book reveals how the navy-building process, sea battles, and contested offshore landings had a lasting influence on the PLA. Even today, the institution's identity, strategy, doctrine, and structure are conditioned by these early experiences and myths. This book will help US policymakers and scholars place China's recent maritime achievements in proper historical context—and provide insight into how its navy may act in the future.

SAS: The History of the SAS

Joshua Levine

The authorised history of the SAS by the number one bestselling author of Dunkirk, Joshua Levine. With unheard stories, this is the SAS’s wartime history in vivid and astonishing detail.
The SAS began as a lie, a story of a British parachute unit in the North African desert, to convince the Axis they were under imminent threat. The lie was so effective that soon a small band of men were brought together to make it real. These recruits were the toughest and brightest of their cohort, the most resilient, most dynamic and most self-sufficient. Their first commanders, David Stirling and Paddy Mayne, would go down in history as unorthodox visionaries. Yet this book tells much more than the usual origin story of the unit and seeks out less well-known leaders like Bill Fraser, who was essential in helping the SAS achieve fame for their devastating raids. By looking beyond the myth, this book brings back to life a group of men who showed immense bravery and endured unimaginable risks behind enemy lines.
Written with the full cooperation of the SAS and with exclusive access to SAS archives, Levine draws on individual stories and personal testimony, including interviews with veterans and family members. The book gives a visceral sense of what it was like to fight and train in the SAS in both North Africa and Europe during the Second World War, focusing on their failures as well as their successes.
This book is vivid with the characters of the men, their eclectic personalities, their strengths, weaknesses and many disagreements. Levine has uncovered a remarkable portrait of this enigmatic unit with stories long thought lost to history
The book SAS by Joshua Levine, the Sunday Times bestselling author, is a top-notch non-fiction biography that delves into the special forces of Britain during World War II. It's a compelling narrative that showcases the author's expertise in military history.
For fans of Damien Lewis (SAS Daggers Drawn), Rowland White (Mosquito), Hugh Mcmanners (Gulf War One), Antony Beevor (Arnhem), and Jonathan Trigg (D-Day Through German Eyes).
