Beschreibung

"Soviet Spies" explores the extensive intelligence operations conducted by the Soviet Union throughout the 20th century, revealing how a nation recovering from devastation built an apparatus that rivaled global powers. The book delves into the world of espionage, examining key figures like Richard Sorge, who infiltrated the Nazi regime, and the Cambridge Five, British double agents motivated by ideology. It highlights how Soviet intelligence methodologies, including sophisticated code systems and disinformation campaigns, shaped military strategies and political decisions.

 
The book is structured chronologically, starting with the formation of the Cheka and progressing through the Cold War. It dissects Soviet intelligence by profiling individuals involved, analyzing methodologies, and assessing the strategic impact of operations on historical events. Drawing from declassified documents and firsthand accounts, "Soviet Spies" provides a unique and authoritative perspective, challenging existing narratives and shedding light on previously unknown operations.

 
This book offers a nuanced understanding of Soviet espionage, moving beyond simplistic portrayals to explore the complex motivations and consequences of these intelligence activities. By examining the successes and failures of Soviet intelligence, readers gain valuable insights into the nature of espionage and the importance of counterintelligence, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in military history, political history, and the intricacies of Cold War espionage.

    Get this: Cronus liked to eat babies. 
     
     
     
    Narcissus probably should have just learned to masturbate.

    All our lives, we've been fed watered-down versions of the classic myths. In reality, mythology is more screwed up than a schizophrenic shaman doing hits of unidentified . . . wait, it all makes sense now. In Zeus Grants Stupid Wishes, Cory O'Brien, creator of Myths RETOLD!, sets the stories straight. These are rude, crude, totally sacred texts told the way they were meant to be told. 
     
     
     
    Here are a few more gems to consider: Zeus once stuffed an unborn fetus inside his thigh to save its life after he exploded its mother by being too good in bed; the Egyptian universe was saved because Sekhmet got too hammered to keep murdering everyone; the Hindu universe is run by a married couple who only stop murdering in order to throw dance parties on the corpses of their enemies; the Norse goddess Freyja once consented to a four-dwarf gangbang in exchange; and there's more dysfunctional goodness where that came from.

    The definitive account of Commando: A Boer Journal of the Anglo-Boer War, published word-for-word as Reitz first wrote it in the English translation; edited and annotated by historian and Anglo-Boer War expert, Professor Fransjohan Pretorius.
    In 1899, Deneys Reitz, then aged seventeen, enlisted in the Boer army to fight the British. He had learnt to ride, shoot and swim almost as soon as he could walk. He made full use of these skills and the endurance he had acquired in the next three years of the war, during which he fought with the Boer commandos.
    He was involved in major actions, like the battle of Spioen Kop, and he interacted with prolific political and military figures of the time, such as President Paul Kruger, Boer generals Piet Joubert, Louis Botha, Koos de la Rey, Christiaan Beyers, Jan Smuts and British commander Lord Kitchener. He even met the young Winston Churchill as a prisoner-of-war in Pretoria. Reitz forged a strong personal and political friendship with General Jan Smuts after the war, built on reciprocal respect.
    Commando is more than a historical document; it is a literary masterpiece that transcends time.
    With prose that captures both the brutality and the beauty of war, Reitz weaves a narrative that resonates with authenticity and passion.
    As relevant today as when it was first penned, Commando has become a South African classic and stands as a testament to the indomitable human spirit.

    Long before Alexandria was a city and even before Memphis and Babylon had attained greatness, the ancient Mesopotamian city of Ur stood foremost among ancient Near Eastern cities. Today, the greatness and cultural influence of Ur has been largely forgotten by most people, partially because its monuments have not stood the test of time the way other ancient culture’s monuments have. For instance, the monuments of Egypt were made of stone while those of Ur and most other Mesopotamian cities were made of mud brick and as will be discussed in this report, mud-brick may be an easier material to work with than stone but it also decays much quicker. The same is true to a certain extent for the written documents that were produced at Ur. No site better represents the importance of the Sumerians than the city of Uruk. Between the fourth and the third millennium BCE, Uruk was one of several city-states in the land of Sumer. 
    As Hittite power grew during the Old Kingdom, the royal city of Hattusa became more important and even wealthier. From his citadel overlooking Hattusa, Hattusili I launched the first major Hittite attacks into the Near East, first conquering the cities between Hattusa and the Mediterranean.  
    Although the Biblical accounts of the Assyrians are among the most interesting and are often corroborated with other historical sources, the Assyrians were much more than just the enemies of the Israelites and brutal thugs. Among all the cities that thrived in the ancient Near East, few can match the opulence and ostentatiousness of Nineveh, the capital of the Assyrian Empire for much of the seventh century BCE. During that time it became known for its mighty citadels, grand palaces, beautiful gardens, and even its zoos. In fact, the beauty of Nineveh, especially its gardens, impressed later writers so much that they assigned its gardens as one of the original Seven Wonders of the World.
