Beschreibung

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.

    Life is a journey, and along this journey, we often find ourselves searching for something that will bring us lasting contentment: happiness. Yet, happiness is not a destination to be reached, but a path to be walked. In a world that constantly demands more from us, it can be easy to overlook the power of small, intentional steps toward joy. We get caught up in the chase for success, the pursuit of external validation, or the quest to fix what we perceive as wrong in our lives. However, true happiness lies not in the perfect outcome, but in how we approach the journey itself. 
      
    The idea of joy often seems elusive, something that is dependent on circumstances or fleeting moments. But what if we could choose joy, not just as a reaction to life’s happenings, but as a conscious decision we make each day? What if every step along the way, regardless of the situation or challenge, could be an opportunity to cultivate happiness? This book is about discovering that joy is not just something you find, but something you create as you go.

    U.S. Marines at the Battle for Sangin is a battle-intensive and deeply personal war memoir following a small Marine infantry detachment who arrive in Afghanistan with acts of killing beginning immediately. Not a week goes by before the Marines experience the deaths of friendly forces, Marine casualties, enemy combatants killed, numerous IED strikes, air strikes, predator drone strikes and around the clock patrolling in hostile territory where death is ever present. As a regional direct response Quick Reaction Force in the northern Sangin river valley of Helmand Province, the Marines are immediately put to the test narrowly avoiding one calamity after the next. The reader feels the author's angst, threat awareness and a growing sense of hostility toward his elusive enemy. Combat operations greatly intensify as the Marines find their battlefield rhythm. Body counts rise and so does the emotional toll on the author. The reader is regularly taken into the author's exhilarations from persevering through intense battle scenes but also submerged with him in the turmoil that results from the deliberate harm that he and his fellow Marines inflict on their enemy. There is a sober realization of the unavoidable dichotomy of war and the inner wounds that result from one's participation in its cruelty, whether the recipient or doer of war's violent actions. This untold story personalizes the broader themes of America's war in Afghanistan through the brutal experiences of a small Marine unit who volunteered to fight it.
