Sinossi

"Caspian Empires" unveils the pivotal role of the Caspian Sea in shaping world history, demonstrating how it functioned as a stage for empires vying for control from antiquity to the early modern era. This fresh perspective on world history positions the inland sea as a key determinant of regional dominance, enabling empires to control trade routes, access vital resources, and exert military influence.

 
The book argues that successive empires strategically utilized the Caspian Sea to consolidate power and thwart rivals, highlighting a nuanced understanding of geopolitical power dynamics in a frequently overlooked region. For instance, the book examines how the Silk Road intersected with Caspian trade networks and how empires like the Achaemenids, Parthians, and Sasanians leveraged the sea for military and economic gains.

 
The book unfolds across three sections, beginning with the geographical and ecological significance of the Caspian Sea and the pre-imperial history of the region. It then examines the rise and fall of various empires including the Arab Caliphates, the Khazar Empire, and the Russian Empire, detailing their strategies for controlling the Caspian Sea. Finally, it assesses the long-term consequences of imperial competition, exploring the legacies of these empires on the region's cultural landscape and geopolitical dynamics.

 
By focusing on the Caspian Sea as a central actor, "Caspian Empires" offers unique insights into regional and global power dynamics, making it valuable for those interested in military history, world history, and geopolitical strategy.

Britain's Secret Defences:...

Andrew Chatterton

The narrative surrounding Britain's anti-invasion forces has often centered on "Dad's Army"-like characters running around with pitchforks, on unpreparedness and sense of inevitability of invasion and defeat. The truth, however, is very different. 
 
 
 
Top-secret, highly trained civilian volunteers were being recruited as early as the summer of 1940. Had the Germans attempted an invasion they would have been countered by saboteurs and guerrilla fighters emerging from secret bunkers, and monitored by swathes of spies and observers who would have passed details on via runners, wireless operators, and ATS women in disguised bunkers. Alongside these secret forces, the Home Guard were also setting up their own "guerrilla groups," and SIS (MI6) were setting up post-occupation groups of civilians to act as sabotage cells, wireless operators, and assassins had the Nazis taken control of the country. 
 
 
 
The civilians involved in these groups understood the need for absolute secrecy and their commitment to keeping quiet meant that most went to their grave without ever telling anyone of their role. There has been no official and little public recognition of what these dedicated men and women were willing to do for their country in its hour of need, and after over eighty years of silence the time has come to highlight their remarkable role.
