Synopsis

"Great Wall" explores the complex history of the Great Wall of China, examining its evolution as a military defense, its impact on Chinese society, and its enduring legacy. The book moves beyond a simple description, delving into the engineering marvels required for its construction and the strategic thinking behind its placement. Intriguingly, the Great Wall wasn't just about keeping invaders out; it also served as a symbolic boundary, shaping Chinese identity and culture.

 
The book analyzes the Wall's effectiveness throughout different dynasties, from the Qin to the Ming, assessing its successes and failures against various invading forces. It highlights how the Wall influenced military doctrine and strategic planning in China for centuries. Using archaeological evidence, historical records, and military treatises, the book presents a holistic view of the Great Wall, emphasizing its dynamic role as a symbol of Chinese power and resilience.

 
The book progresses by first introducing the Wall’s diverse sections and construction, then examining its evolution across dynasties. It further analyzes its effectiveness as a military defense and its impact on Chinese society, culture, and trade, concluding with its lasting legacy. This approach offers readers a comprehensive understanding of one of the world's most iconic structures within the context of world history and military history.

    As Adolf Eichmann sent hundreds of thousands of Hungarian Jews to Auschwitz gas chambers, the Jews of Budapest needed the eyewitness testimony of Auschwitz escapees Ceslav Mordowicz and Arnost Rosinto save them. 
 
 
 
The clock was ticking on the Nazi plan to annihilate the last group of the Hungarian Jewry. But after nearly suffocating in an underground bunker, Auschwitz prisoners Ceslav Mordowicz and Arnost Rosin escaped and told Jewish leaders what they had seen. Their testimony in early June, 1944, corroborated earlier hard-to-believe reports of mass killing in Auschwitz by lethal gas and provided eyewitness accounts of record daily arrivals of Hungarian Jews meeting the same fate. It was the spark needed to stir a call for action to pressure Hungary's premier to defy Hitler—just hours before more than 200,000 Budapest Jews were to be deported.

    When A Beauty That Hurts first appeared in 1995, Guatemala was one of the world’s most flagrant violators of human rights. An accord brokered by the United Nations brought a measure of peace after three decades of civil war, but the country’s troubles are far from over. W. George Lovell revisits Guatemala to grapple once again with the terror inflicted on its Maya peoples by a military-dominated state.
