"Scipio Africanus: Greater Than Napoleon" throws down a historical gauntlet. Author B.H. Liddell Hart argues that Roman general Scipio, famed for defeating Hannibal, outshines even the mighty Napoleon. Published in 1927, the book dives deep into their strategies, campaigns, and leadership styles.Liddell Hart paints Scipio as a brilliant innovator, adaptable across terrains and enemies, while contrasting him with Napoleon's more singular focus on conquest. Diplomacy and political savvy also receive due attention, aspects sometimes overshadowed in Napoleon's narrative.While the "greater than" claim sparks debate, this book invites readers to ponder leadership, strategy, and the complexities of comparing historical figures. If Roman history, military tactics, or thought-provoking analysis pique your interest, "Scipio Africanus: Greater Than Napoleon" is worth a look, although keeping potential biases and limitations in mind.Ver livro

From World War Two to the Jet Age, Ian Mackersey charts the thrilling and personal accounts of airmen who have jumped from their planes and survived. Since the test pilot Harold Harris became the first man to save his life with a parachute in 1922 there have been over 120,000 air force pilots and crew who owe their lives to their parachutes. Into the Silk is full of astounding tales of people who against the odds bailed out of their planes and were therefore able to enter the annals of the Caterpillar Club, a society open only to men and women who survive aviation disaster with the aid of a parachute. Mackersey records dramatic moments during the Second World War when pilots leapt from their burning planes while still being shot at by enemy fighters. He uncovers the descent of the extraordinarily lucky man who jumped from his damaged bomber but had to put his parachute on while falling through the sky and the pilot who found himself attached to a moving train and was dragged along for miles. The book highlights the debts that all of these survivors owe to people such as Leslie Irvin, who invented the modern parachute and Sir James Martin, the great designer of ejection seats.Ver livro
