Ruined Lives

Pasquale De Marco

Sinopse

China's recent history is a story of brutality, torture, humiliation, and betrayal. It is a story of wasted and shattered careers, of the sorrows of losing a culture, and of the resilience of the human spirit.

In this powerful and moving book, we examine the years of turmoil that have shaped modern China, from the Cultural Revolution to the Tiananmen Square Massacre. We hear from survivors of these events, who share their stories of pain and loss, but also of hope and resilience.

We also explore the broader context of China's history, examining the political, social, and economic factors that have led to its current state. We ask why these events happened, and what lessons we can learn from them.

Finally, we look to the future, and consider the challenges that China faces today. We ask how China can reconcile its past with its present, and how it can build a more just and prosperous future for all of its citizens.

**Ruined Lives** is a testament to the power of the human spirit. It is a story of survival, of hope, and of the enduring power of the human spirit. It is a story that needs to be told.

One Perfect Day - Memoir of...

Sandy Watson

One Perfect Day – Hungary 1956 is the profoundly moving story of Veronika Csosz, her experiences during the 1956 Hungarian Uprising and her traumatic escape. Veronika's story is also about young people with an unshakeable desire to be free of the fear, violence and oppression of Communist rule which, on a beautiful autumn day, led to the tragic events of 1956. Despite calls for help to the leaders of the free world, Hungary's fight for freedom was overshadowed by the international stand-off over the Suez Canal. Help never came, and the desperate fight for democracy was crushed by the Soviet Army just days after freedom seemed to be won.

Hamilcar and Hannibal: The...

Editors Charles River

One overlooked figure in the Punic Wars is Hamilcar Barca, who is now best remembered for being Hannibal’s father. However, before Hannibal marched out of Spain, it was Hamilcar who had positioned forces there, and he was already a significant historical figure in his own right. Indeed, had it not been for his death, his legacy likely would have been more important than that of his illustrious son, who is now remembered as one of history’s greatest generals.
In the history of war, only a select few men always make the list of greatest generals. Napoleon. Caesar. Alexander. They are always joined by Hannibal, who has the distinction of being the only man who nearly brought Rome to its knees before its decline almost 700 years later. Rome never suffered a more horrifying defeat in its history than at Cannae, and indeed, Hannibal nearly rewrote the course of Western history during the Second Punic War. Even today there remains great debate on just how he accomplished his masterful invasion of Italy across the Alps. Since his army included war elephants, historians still argue over exactly where and how he crossed over 2,000 years after he managed that incredible feat.
Although the Romans gained the upper hand in the wake of the First Punic War, Hannibal brought the Romans to their knees for over a decade during the Second Punic War. While military historians are still amazed that he was able to maintain his army in Italy near Rome for nearly 15 years, scholars are still puzzled over some of his decisions, including why he never attempted to march on Rome in the first place. Hannibal will always be listed among history’s greatest generals, and his military campaign in Italy during the Second Punic War will always be studied, but part of the aura and mystique surrounding the Carthaginian legend is that there is still a lot of mystery.
