Sinossi

Historical Sieges explores how siege warfare shaped history, impacting empires and civilizations through dynamic interactions of offensive and defensive tactics. The book examines pivotal sieges, like the siege of Constantinople, through strategic, tactical, and technological lenses. Understanding these historical events offers insights into military strategy, engineering innovations, and societal resilience under extreme conditions.

 
The book progresses chronologically, detailing the evolution of siege technologies, from ancient battering rams to gunpowder artillery. It analyzes strategies employed by both besiegers and defenders, such as blockades, mining, and sorties. 

 
The narrative also considers the social and economic impact of sieges, including the disruption of trade and the spread of disease. The siege of Tenochtitlan, for example, illustrates how sieges could decide the fate of entire civilizations.

 
Drawing from primary accounts and expert analysis, Historical Sieges offers a balanced view of these complex events, acknowledging their ethical dimensions. The book's value lies in its unique approach, connecting military history with broader fields like engineering and sociology, offering a deeper understanding of warfare’s lasting impact on societies.

    The epic Battle of Iwo Jima is recounted through the stories of twenty-eight American soldiers who showed uncommon valor during one of WWII’s most bitter conflicts. When the smoke cleared on Iwo Jima in March of 1945, nineteen-thousand American Marines had been wounded and seven-thousand were dead, a casualty rate of nearly thirty-nine percent. Lasting over a month, Iwo was the Marines’ bloodiest battle of the Second World War and the only Pacific battle in which a U.S. landing force suffered more casualties than it inflicted. It was also the most highly decorated single engagement in Marine Corps history.  This volume captures the bravery of those who fought in that epic battle through the stories of twenty-two Marines and five Navy personnel who received the Medal of Honor in recognition of their gallantry under fire.

    Munich is widely reviled today and is held up as the epitome of appeasement, but historians still debate its effects on the Second World War, as well as Neville Chamberlain's character and motivations. Some believe the attempted appeasement of Nazi Germany hastened, or even caused, the mayhem occupying the next seven years. Others believe that the pact merely failed to alter war's inevitable arrival in either direction. Historians and authors alternately interpret Chamberlain as a bumbling, arrogant fool, a strong-willed statesman who simply miscalculated the nature of Hitler and Nazi Germany, or even a man with dictatorial ambitions surreptitiously inserting himself into the Fuhrer's orbit and prevented from further damaging democracy only by his fall and death from bowel cancer. Another possible interpretation, with considerable documentary support, asserts Chamberlain wished to enlist Germany's aid against the state most Europeans perceived as the true threat of the era, the Soviet Union. 
    Europe’s attempts to appease him, most notably at Munich in 1938, failed, as Nazi Germany swallowed up Austria and Czechoslovakia by 1939. Italy was on the march as well, invading Albania in April of 1939. The straw that broke the camel's back, however, was Germany's invasion of Poland on September 1 of that year. Two days later, France and Great Britain declared war on Germany, and World War II had begun in earnest. Of course, as most people now know, the invasion of Poland was merely the preface to the Nazi blitzkrieg of most of Western Europe, which would include Denmark, Belgium, and France by the summer of 1940.

    An intimate look at one of culture's most enduring taboos: public sex. 
     
     
     
    Park Cruising takes a long look at the men who cruise for sex in urban parks. Human rights lawyer Marcus McCann uses park cruising as a point of departure for discussions of consent, empathy, public health, municipal planning, and our relationship to strangers. Prompted by his work opposing a police sting in a suburban park, McCann's ruminations go beyond targeted enforcement and police indifference to violence to examine cruising as a type of world-building. 
     
     
     
    The result is a series of insightful and poetic walks through history, law, literature, and popular representations of cruising in search of the social value of sex. What McCann ultimately reveals is a world of connection, care, and unexpected lessons about the value of pleasure. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.
