Summary

"Political Escapes" explores daring attempts to break free from imprisonment and oppressive regimes, revealing the profound impact these acts have had on world history and political landscapes. The book examines the motivations, planning, and techniques used by individuals risking everything for freedom, highlighting how these escapes often serve as potent symbols of resistance. For example, successful escapes have been known to galvanize popular movements and reshape the balance of power, demonstrating the significant role individual acts of defiance play in influencing broader political outcomes.

 
The book progresses through three key sections. It begins by defining political escapes and exploring the psychology of those who undertake such perilous journeys. It then presents detailed case studies from various historical periods, focusing on escapes from prisons, exile, and wartime, and analyzes the strategies and tactics employed. Finally, it examines the long-term consequences of these escapes, assessing their impact on political ideologies, social movements, and international relations.

 
By drawing from primary sources and combining historical analysis with insights from political science and criminology, the book offers a fresh perspective on well-known historical events.

    The Analects are a collection of Confucius's sayings brought together by his pupils shortly after his death in 497 BC.
    
    Together they express a philosophy, or a moral code, by which Confucius, one of the most humane thinkers of all time, believed everyone should live. Upholding the ideals of wisdom, self-knowledge, courage and love of one's fellow man, he argued that the pursuit of virtue should be every individual's supreme goal. And, while following the Way, or the truth, might not result in immediate or material gain, Confucius showed that it could nevertheless bring its own powerful and lasting spiritual rewards.

    Maimonides’ Latin translation of Moreh Nevukhim Guide for the Perplexed, was the most influential Jewish work in the last millennia (Di Segni, 2019; Rubio, 2006; Wohlman, 1988, 1995; Kohler, 2017). It marked the beginning of scholasticism, a daughter of Judaism raised by Jewish thinkers, according to historian Heinrich Graetz (Geschichte der Juden, L. 6, Leipzig 1861, p. xii). 
    Printed by Gutenberg's first mechanical press, its influence in the West went as far as the Fifth Lateran Council (1512 — 1517) "where scholars were encouraged to remove the difficulties which seemed to divide the whole of theology and philosophy (Leibniz, Théodicée, 11)." 
    For centuries, the Guide revolutionized the curriculum of school instruction by reintegrating the natural laws of thought in the sphere of faith (the fourth of which became Leibniz’ Principle of sufficient reason). 
    This complete collection of notes expounds the ideas of the Guide and features all the passages selected and rewritten by Leibniz. This first complete annotated bilingual translation of the original manuscripts in Latin serves as an entry point to the faith in conformity with Reason. 
    Rabbi Moses Maimonides' excellent book, A Guide to the Perplexed, is more philosophical than I had imagined and worthy of careful reading. The author, distinguished by his intelligence in philosophy, was well-versed in mathematics, medical art, and also in the knowledge of the sacred Scriptures. — G.W. LEIBNIZ, 1685, Leibniz’ Anthology of Maimonides’ Guide, Chapter III. 
    Rabbi Moses Ben Maimon referred to by the initials of his name as RAMBAM, also known in the past as Moseh d’Egypto (Moses of Egypt) because of his long residence there, was born in Córdoba (Spain) in 1131 4891 and left this temporal world in 1204 4964. He is the most universal Rabbi of an eternal tradition.

    - The War in the Air: The early 20th century marked a transformative period in military history, where the introduction of flight reshaped the very nature of warfare. Prior to this, battles were fought on the ground and at sea, with strategy revolving around infantry, artillery, and naval power. However, as aviation technology advanced rapidly, it presented military commanders with new opportunities and challenges that would forever alter how conflicts were conducted. 
    - Fighter Aces of World War II: The concept of the "fighter ace" emerged during the early days of aerial warfare, capturing the imagination of the public and military strategists alike. A fighter ace, typically defined as a pilot who has achieved five or more confirmed aerial victories, became a symbol of skill, bravery, and national pride during World War II. These men and women were not only warriors of the sky but also icons of an evolving form of combat that would change the course of modern warfare.
