Sinossi

In the midst of the turmoil and upheaval of the English Civil Wars, a group of radical reformers known as the Levellers emerged, challenging the established order and advocating for a more just and equitable society. Inspired by the religious and political ideas of the Reformation, the Levellers believed that all men were created equal and that they had a right to participate in government.

This book tells the story of the Levellers, from their early origins to their eventual decline. It explores their beliefs and their role in the English Civil Wars, as well as their legacy and their impact on subsequent generations of reformers.

The Levellers were a diverse group of people, united by their common cause. They included soldiers, farmers, artisans, and even some members of the gentry. They were all united by their belief in the equality of all men and their right to participate in government.

The Levellers were active in both the military and political spheres during the English Civil Wars. They fought alongside the Parliamentarian army, and they also played a leading role in the negotiations that led to the execution of King Charles I. After the war, the Levellers continued to advocate for their beliefs, but they faced increasing opposition from both the government and the more conservative elements within Parliament.

Despite their ultimate failure to achieve their goals, the Levellers left a lasting legacy. Their ideas about democracy, equality, and religious toleration would continue to inspire future generations of reformers. Their struggle for a more just and equitable society is still relevant today, and their writings continue to be studied and debated by scholars and activists alike.

**The People's Claim** is a comprehensive and engaging history of the Levellers. It is a story of courage, determination, and hope, and it is a story that deserves to be told and retold.

    The Will to Conquer: Mastering Power, Strategy, and the Art of War is a manifesto for those who refuse to be ruled. Power is not a privilege granted by fate—it is seized by those with the vision, discipline, and ruthlessness to take it. 
    In this book, A.A. Castor dismantles the myths of fairness, morality, and justice, exposing them for what they truly are: illusions designed to keep the weak in submission. Drawing from the principles of history's greatest strategists—Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, Nietzsche, and beyond—The Will to Conquer explores the foundations of dominance, manipulation, and control. 
    This book reveals: 
    ✔ The Laws of Power – How rulers impose their will and eliminate opposition. 
    ✔ The Art of Strategy – Why battles are won before they are fought. 
    ✔ The Psychology of a Ruler – How to think beyond morality and hesitation. 
    ✔ The Mastery of Deception – Why perception is more powerful than reality. 
    ✔ The Will to Power – How to overcome fear, doubt, and self-imposed limitations. 
    Power does not wait for the patient, nor does it reward those who seek validation. It belongs to those who demand it. If you are ready to break free from the illusions of the weak and forge your own destiny, this book will show you the way. 
    "There is no universal law—only the law of those strong enough to impose it."

    Second Crusade The: The History...

    In the 50 years following the First Crusade, the Latin states in the East were consolidated, but there were also growing tensions and new challenges. Against this backdrop, the fall of the County of Edessa in December 1144 at the hands of Zengi, the atabeg of Aleppo and Mosul, was a catastrophic event. Founded in 1098 by the future King Baldwin of Boulogne, Edessa was the first Crusader state, as well as the northernmost, weakest, and least populated. It was constantly exposed to Muslim attacks, and news of its fall reached Europe at the beginning of 1145, and the fall was the catalyst for the Second Crusade. Furthermore, the Crusader states were also concerned about their relationship with the Byzantine Empire. Relations with the Empire were often tense. As early as 1105, Bohemond of Antioch travelled to the West in search of troops to fight the Muslims while concealing his intention to attack parts of the Byzantine Empire. He reportedly obtained papal acquiescence, though not an explicit bull.  
    Historically, writers have given little prominence to the Second Crusade because of its failure, and it is understandably overshadowed by the triumphant First Crusade and the more captivating Third Crusade. For a long time, historiography attributed a central role to Bernard of Clairvaux, sometimes portraying him as the sole architect of the enterprise due to the political difficulties experienced by Pope Eugene III in Rome. However, more recent studies have re-evaluated the Pope's role, emphasizing his commitment to planning and coordinating the crusade through a network of legates and advisors. Contrary to the portrayal of him as a naïve monk, Eugene III had a profound grasp of the dynamics of crusading and the boundaries of Christendom, which informed his bull and overall strategy. Another historiographical issue concerns the scope of the crusade itself:
