Burdunellus Regulus Hispaniae

Patrizio Corda

Summary

494 AD. - Almost twenty years after the fall of the Western Roman Empire, Gaul and the Iberian Peninsula are now part of the vast kingdom of the Visigoths.
Their ruler himself, Alaric II son of the famous Euricus, reigns with an iron fist over a population as submissive as it is heterogeneous, consisting indeed of barbarians but
also by Romans now devoid of pride and patriotism. But despite his reprisals and his continual oppressive taxation, one of the surviving Romans of Hispania
will find within himself the strength to rekindle the ancient fire that enabled his ancestors to found and make the empire great. To his surprise, Claudius Aemilius Iberus,
known as Burdunellus, will succeed in making his personal cause that of all the people of Hispania, severely threatening Alaric's throne and sparking
one of the last, fierce but also least-told rebellions of the post-imperial age.

Women in War - A Gripping...

David Yuzuk

"In the shadows of history's greatest conflicts, women have always been warriors—yet their stories remain untold. Women in War uncovers over twenty raw, true accounts of the fearless women who fought and served, from ancient battlefields to the jungles of Vietnam and the deserts of Iraq and Afghanistan.
Step into their combat boots: nurses dodging gunfire, spies sabotaging enemies, soldiers enduring unimaginable loss. Facing sexism, trauma, and overwhelming odds, these heroines reveal that true valor beats in the heart, not just on the battlefield.
Brought to life through meticulous research and exclusive firsthand interviews by retired police officer and acclaimed author David Yuzuk, this intimate collection honors the unbreakable spirit of military women. Narrated by Julia Whelan, the voice behind the New York Times bestseller The Women by Kristin Hannah, it's a profound tribute to the unsung forces who shaped our world."
“Gripping stories of female heroism that will awe and inspire.”
—NY Times bestselling author Ralph Pezzullo
“I thought I was going to die that day! The Viet Cong launched a brutal attack, and the explosion hit like a freight train, its deafening roar slamming into my ears just seconds before the shockwave hurled us off our feet, Doors were ripped from their hinges, and windows were shattered into a thousand pieces.
“The pandemonium jolted me back to reality. I grabbed my flak jacket and sprinted to the Intensive Care Unit. Were the enemy already inside our perimeter, AK-47s in hand, bayonets fixed? It didn’t matter. My mission was clear — Protect the soldiers in my care. They came first, no matter what.” —67th Evac Nurse Ginny Dornheggen
