Beschreibung

Royal Executions delves into the dramatic and often grim history of monarchs who met their end not through natural causes or battlefield defeat, but by execution. This exploration of power, politics, and the precarious nature of leadership examines instances where kings and queens faced the ultimate punishment. Understanding these pivotal moments offers insights into the dynamics of monarchy, political executions, and the often brutal realities of political power. The book reveals how such executions were rarely simple acts of justice, but complex political maneuvers that reshaped power structures and national identities.

 
The book investigates specific case studies, such as Charles I of England and Louis XVI of France, alongside lesser-known examples from both European and Asian history. It analyzes the political climate, legal proceedings, and immediate aftermath of each execution. By drawing from primary sources like trial transcripts and contemporary accounts, Royal Executions presents a fresh perspective, viewing royal executions as integral components of broader political and social transformations, examining the long-term implications and influence on political thought and social structures.

    November 26, 2008. Ten terrorists, armed with guns, grenades, and improvised explosive devices, slip past coastal security cordons on India's western seacoast in a fishing trawler. They board a rubber dinghy and disembark at Machhimar Nagar, Colaba, Mumbai. Over the next three agonizing days, India's 'Maximum City' is brought to its knees as the fidayeen wreak unprecedented havoc at pre-selected landmarks, holding India's commercial capital hostage. The 26/11 attacks, as they are now known, is widely regarded as the world's first hybrid terrorist attack. The attackers achieved through this long-drawn siege what Al Qaeda did through the high-visibility mass-casualty attack of September 11, 2001. 
     
     
     
    The response to this attack was the first instance of all three wings of the Indian armed forces coming together to fight terror. The attacks tested the mettle of India's elite counter-terrorist force, the National Security Guard 
     
     
     
    Black Tornado, as the operation was called by the NSG, is the story of these men called into action in the desperate hours following the most sensational terrorist attack the country has ever seen. Sandeep Unnithan puts together a blow-by-blow account of the terrorist strike and how the siege of Mumbai was thwarted by India's security forces.

    A TRIBUTE FROM THE AUTHOR OF 'PAINT IT BLACK THE MURDER OF BRIAN JONES' 
    AND 'THE ROLLING STONES ALBUM', SQUID GAME STAR GEOFFREY GIULIANO 
     
    "I wanted to play drums because I fell in love with the glitter and the lights, but it wasn't about adulation. It was being up there playing." 
     
    "I hate leaving home. I love what I do, but I'd love to go home every night." 
     
    "It's been years and years and years I've been playing the drums, and they're still a challenge." 
     
    "I never had lessons. Used to try to play to records, which I hated doing. Still can't play to them." 
    Charlie Watts 
     
    Charlie Watts provided the foundation that underpinned the music of the Rolling Stones. The band became a by-word for rock 'n' roll excess but for Watts, playing with the Stones did not become the ego trip that drove Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. A jazz aficionado, Watts vied with Bill Wyman for the title of least charismatic member of the band; he eschewed the limelight and rarely gave interviews. And he famously described life with the Stones as five years of playing, 20 years of hanging around. 
     
    Charles Robert Watts was born on 2 June 1941 at the University College Hospital in London and was raised in Kingsbury, now part of the London Borough of Brent. His father was a lorry driver and Watts was brought up in a prefabricated house to which the family had moved after German bombs destroyed hundreds of houses in the area. A childhood friend once described how Watts had an early interest in jazz and recalled listening to 78s in Charlie's bedroom by artists such as Jelly Roll Morton and Charlie Parker.
