Sinossi

Spartan Discipline explores the society of ancient Sparta, focusing on its unique system that produced exceptionally disciplined warriors. It examines how the Agoge, Sparta's rigorous military education, shaped individuals from a young age, instilling a culture of absolute loyalty and conformity. The book investigates the economic and political structures that supported Sparta's militaristic society, revealing how these elements combined to create a dominant force in ancient Greece. The book argues that Sparta's military success wasn't just about battlefield tactics but stemmed from a deeply ingrained societal system. Exploring the legendary lawgiver Lycurgus and the establishment of Sparta's institutions, the book progresses through three main parts: the origins of Sparta, the intricacies of the Agoge, and an examination of Spartan society including the roles of women and helots. It provides historical context and analyzes the psychological impact of Spartan training, drawing on writings from Xenophon, Plutarch, and Thucydides. This study of military history offers a fresh perspective by connecting ancient practices with modern military and psychological research. By examining the Agoge, the book demonstrates the degree of mental and physical toughness required of Spartan warriors. Ultimately, the book analyzes Sparta's legacy and its lasting impact on military thought, offering insights into the principles of resilience and teamwork that remain relevant today.

    For centuries, Christians and Muslims were embroiled in one of the most infamous territorial disputes of all time, viciously and relentlessly battling one another for the Holy Land. In the heart of Jerusalem sat one of the shining jewels of the Christian faith, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Legend has it that this was where their Savior had been buried before his fabled resurrection. What was more, it was said to house the very cross Jesus Christ had died upon. It was for precisely these reasons that fearless pilgrims, near and far, risked their lives and made the treacherous trek to Jerusalem.  
    	The Order of the Temple of Solomon, also known as the Templars or the Knights Templar, is one of the best-known and least-understood groups in history. They appear prominently in everything from novels (The Da Vinci Code) to films (as the Knights of the Cruciform Sword in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade) to videogames (Assassin's Creed). In these stories, they are a sinister cult that manipulated historical events since the Middle Ages, via intimidation and assassination. They are usually connected to the Freemasons and, sometimes, to other historical cults like the Hindu Thuggees. 
    	The knights of the Teutonic Order have since been compared to the surreal creature that appeared to the biblical Ezekiel, one that bore 2 faces – one of a man's, and one of a lion's. The human side of the creature is said to symbolize the order's charity, whereas the lion was a metaphor for its valor and gallant spirit, which they relied on to vanquish the heathens of the world. 	Like other secretive groups, the mystery surrounding these military orders helped their legacies endure. While some conspiracy theorists attempt to tie the groups to other alleged secret societies like the Illuminati, other groups have tried to assert connections with them to bolster their own credentials.

    In Mahabharata, Bheema is the 2nd born of the Pandavas. He alone killed hundred Kaurava brothers in the Mahabharata War. Along with other Pandava brothers, Bheema was trained in religion, science, administration and military arts by Kripa and Drona. Bheema's strong point throughout the epic remains his towering strength. He was so wrathful and strong that it was impossible even for Indra to subdue him in a battle.
