Summary

In the tumultuous years leading up to the Russian Revolution, Tsar Nicholas II ruled over a vast empire on the brink of collapse. This captivating book tells the story of Nicholas's reign, from his coronation in 1894 to his abdication in 1917, and the tragic events that followed.

Drawing on extensive research and primary sources, this book provides a nuanced and comprehensive account of Nicholas's life and rule. It explores the challenges he faced, from the industrialization of Russia to the rise of revolutionary movements, and the decisions he made that ultimately led to the downfall of the Romanov dynasty.

The book also sheds light on the personal life of Nicholas and his family, offering a glimpse into their struggles and triumphs. It delves into the complex relationship between Nicholas and his wife, Alexandra, and the influence of the controversial mystic Rasputin on the royal court.

The final chapters of the book recount the dramatic events of the Russian Revolution, culminating in the execution of Nicholas and his family in July 1918. The book also examines the legacy of the Romanovs, from the canonization of Nicholas as a saint by the Russian Orthodox Church to the ongoing debate over his role in Russian history.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in Russian history, the Romanov dynasty, or the events leading up to the Russian Revolution. It is a tragic tale of a man who was ill-prepared for the challenges of his time, and a cautionary reminder of the dangers of autocratic rule.

    The true story of the man who gave his life to create the English-language Bible.The English Bible—the most familiar book in our language—is the product of a man who was exiled, vilified, betrayed, then strangled, then burnt.William Tyndale left England in 1524 to translate the word of God into English. This was heresy, punishable by death. Sir Thomas More, hailed as a saint and a man for all seasons, considered it his divine duty to pursue Tyndale. He did so with an obsessive ferocity that, in all probability, led to Tyndale's capture and death.The words that Tyndale wrote during his desperate exile have a beauty and familiarity that still resonate across the English-speaking world: “Death, where is thy sting? . . . eat, drink, and be merry . . . our Father which art in heaven.” His New Testament, which he translated, edited, financed, printed, and smuggled into England in 1526, passed with few changes into subsequent versions of the Bible. So did those books of the Old Testament that he lived to finish.Brian Moynahan's lucid and meticulously researched biography illuminates Tyndale's life, from his childhood in England, to his death outside Brussels. It chronicles the birth pangs of the Reformation, the wrath of Henry VIII, the sympathy of Anne Boleyn, and the consuming malice of Thomas More. Above all, it reveals the English Bible as a labor of love, for which a man in an age more spiritual than our own willingly gave his life.

    Tipu formed a large corps of young Muslim lads whom he called his sons and now provided them with handsome young wives from the Hindu fold. These atrocities were perpetrated during the wet months of 1785. In Malabar he had converted, in one stroke, a hundred thousand Hindus to his faith. Portuguese missionaries wrote that 'he tied naked Christians and Hindus to the legs of elephants and made the elephants move around till the bodies of the helpless victims were torn to pieces.' In 1786 he declared himself emperor and had the khutba read in his name in all the mosques throughout his kingdom. His contention was that 'those idiots who introduce the name of Shah Alam in the khutba act through ignorance since the real condition of the so called emperor is this: that he is actually enslaved and a servant of the Scindia. So to pronounce the name of someone dependent on the infidels while reciting the sacred khutba was blasphemy.

    Politics for Everybody - Reading...

    In this age of nearly unprecedented partisan rancor, you’d be forgiven for thinking we could all do with a smaller daily dose of politics. In his provocative and sharp book, however, Ned O’Gorman argues just the opposite: Politics for Everybody contends that what we really need to do is engage more deeply with politics, rather than chuck the whole thing out the window. In calling for a purer, more humanistic relationship with politics—one that does justice to the virtues of open, honest exchange—O’Gorman draws on the work of Hannah Arendt (1906–75). As a German-born Jewish thinker who fled the Nazis for the United States, Arendt set out to defend politics from its many detractors along several key lines: the challenge of separating genuine politics from distorted forms; the difficulty of appreciating politics for what it is; the problems of truth and judgment in politics; and the role of persuasion in politics. O’Gorman’s book offers an insightful introduction to Arendt’s ideas for anyone who wants to think more carefully.
