Synopsis

This is an incredible history focusing on the role of Tomás de Torquemada in the Spanish inquisition. Torquemada was a Castilian Dominican friar and the first Grand Inquisitor in Spain's movement to standardize religious conventions with those of the Catholic Church in the late 15th century. In 1483, Ferdinand and Isabella appointed a state council to administer the inquisition with Torquemada acting as its head and he ultimately acquired the title of Inquisitor-General.  The accounts presented in this work are raw but factual and solid. Sabatini debunks some popular misconceptions about the inquisition and gives his own views on the time's prominent political and religious figures. This history is illustrated with trials and examples of Torquemada and the Holy Office at work. It is well-written and often surprising in its revelations.

    The Loyalists in the American Revolution is the detailed story of the formation of the Tory or Loyalist party in the American Revolution ; its persecution by the Whigs during a long and fratricidal war, and the banishment or death of over one hundred thousand of these most conservative and respectable Americans is a tragedy but rarely paralleled in the history of the world. 
    This book includes matters necessary for an understanding of the Revolution, but hitherto, for the most part, neglected, and in many cases inaccessible.

    Virtues of Strength is a powerful and inspiring journey through the core traits that help us rise above adversity and keep going when life gets tough. This 3-in-1 volume focuses on three foundational virtues—Courage, Endurance, and Perseverance—each offering a lens through which to understand our inner power and resilience. 
    In the first section, Courage, readers explore the bravery required to face fears, confront injustice, and make difficult choices even in the face of uncertainty. It's not the absence of fear, but the willingness to act in spite of it that defines this virtue. 
    The second section, Endurance, dives into the strength to keep going under pressure—mentally, emotionally, and physically. Whether it's enduring pain, loss, or hardship, this virtue reminds us that we are capable of weathering life’s storms without giving up. 
    The final section, Perseverance, highlights the determination to pursue goals with consistent effort and hope, even when progress is slow or setbacks occur. It celebrates the long-haul spirit that turns dreams into achievements, and obstacles into stepping stones. 
    Rich with timeless wisdom and real-world examples, Virtues of Strength equips readers with the mindset and emotional fortitude to face life’s challenges head-on. This book is for anyone seeking to deepen their character, build resilience, and walk through difficulty with purpose and dignity.

    A unique look at the lives of two daughters that highlights the dichotomy of lives of royal women, as both daughters and mothers of kings, who also knew both prison and power. 
     
     
     
    The names of few medieval monarchs and their queens are better known than Eleanor of Aquitaine, uniquely queen of France and queen of England, and her second husband Henry II. Although academically labeled "medieval," their era was the violent transition from the Dark Ages, when countries' borders were defined with fire and sword. If princes fought for their succession to crowns, the princesses were traded—usually by their mothers—to strangers for political power without the bloodshed. Years before what would today be marriageable age, royal girls were dispatched to countries whose speech was unknown to them and there became the property of unknown men. Eleanor's daughters Marie and Alix were abandoned in Paris when she divorced Louis VII of France. By Henry II, she bore Matilda, Aliénor, and Joanna. Joanna was imprisoned by William II of Sicily and worse treated by her brutal second husband in Toulouse. If Eleanor was libeled as a whore, Aliénor's descendants include two saints, Louis of France and Fernando of Spain. And then there were the illegitimate daughters, whose lives read like novels . . .
