Summary

Kazan Conquests explores Ivan the Terrible's 16th-century siege and capture of Kazan, a pivotal event that reshaped Russia. This book analyzes the military strategies employed during the Kazan campaigns, revealing how the conquest facilitated Russian expansion eastward and transformed the nation's relationship with the Islamic world. The fall of Kazan was more than just a military victory; it laid the foundation for Russia's imperial ambitions and solidified the autocratic nature of the Russian state. The book adopts a multidisciplinary approach, drawing from military, political, economic, and cultural history to offer a comprehensive understanding. It investigates the conquest's long-term consequences, including its impact on demographics, culture, and religion in the Volga region. For instance, the conquest led to significant cultural interactions between the Russians and the Tatars, influencing both societies. Beginning with the political landscape of 16th-century Eastern Europe, Kazan Conquests chronologically recounts the Kazan campaigns, culminating in the 1552 siege. It then analyzes the conquest's lasting effects on Russian society, from military organization to cultural identity. This book provides valuable insights into the forces that shaped the Russian state and its interactions with diverse cultures, making it an essential read for those interested in Russian history and imperial expansion.

    Templars in America reveals the story of two leading European Templar families who combined forces to create a new commonwealth in America nearly a century before the voyages of Christopher Columbus. Henry St. Clair of the Orkney Islands, then part of Normandy, and Carlo Zeno, a Venetian trader, made peaceful and mutually beneficial contact with the Mi'kmaq people of what is now Canada. Proof of their travels is carved in stone on both sides of the Atlantic and can be found in documentary evidence borne out by a strong oral tradition that has withstood the test of time. Historians Tim Wallace-Murphy and Marilyn Hopkins draw on archival and archaeological evidence to prove the Templar voyage. They then demonstrate how this early contact with the Americas ties into the centuries-long development of the Templars and Freemasonry, which in turn shaped the thinking of the founding fathers—and the American Constitution. 
 
 
  
Wallace-Murphy and Hopkins also reveal the continuous history of American exploration from the time of ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome, through the age of the Vikings. Templars in America is a wild ride from the golden age of exploration to the founding of the United States.
