Sinopse

Seneca's "Of Clemency" is a philosophical treatise that delves into the nature of mercy and the moral imperatives underpinning governance. Written in the context of the Roman Empire, the work reflects Stoic principles, advocating for a ruler's obligation to exhibit clemency as a demonstration of true strength and virtuous leadership. The text serves as a prescriptive guide for emperors, particularly directed at Nero, advising them on the delicate balance between power and morality, and how justice intertwined with compassion can secure societal harmony. Seneca's elegant prose and profound insights illuminate the ethical dilemmas faced by those in power, making it a crucial work for understanding Roman political philosophy. Seneca, a prominent Stoic philosopher, statesman, and playwright, faced the complexities of political life in ancient Rome firsthand, which profoundly influenced his writing in "Of Clemency." His own experiences with imperial authority and the consequences of tyranny compelled him to address the need for moral leadership. Seneca's philosophical insights not only resonate within his historical context but also offer timeless reflections on ethics and governance. "Of Clemency" is an essential read for anyone interested in the intersections of philosophy, political theory, and ethics. Its relevance persists today, inviting readers to reflect on the moral obligations of leadership and the potential for mercy to transform societies. Engaging with this text promises a deeper understanding of both ancient wisdom and contemporary governance.

    The struggle over the fortified Confederate position known as Spotsylvania's Mule Shoe was without parallel during the Civil War. A Union assault that began at 4:30 A.M. on May 12, 1864, sparked brutal combat that lasted nearly twenty-four hours. By the time Grant's forces withdrew, some 55,000 men from Union and Confederate armies had been drawn into the fury, battling in torrential rain along the fieldworks at distances often less than the length of a rifle barrel. One Union private recalled the fighting as a "seething, bubbling, soaring hell of hate and murder." By the time Lee's troops established a new fortified line in the predawn hours of May 13, some 17,500 officers and men from both sides had been killed, wounded, or captured when the fighting ceased. The site of the most intense clashes became forever known as the Bloody Angle. 
     
     
     
    Here, renowned military historian Jeffry D. Wert draws on the personal narratives of Union and Confederate troops who survived the fight to offer a gripping story of Civil War combat at its most difficult. Wert's harrowing tale reminds us that the war's story, often told through its commanders and campaigns, truly belonged to the common soldier.

    Attack on Pearl Harbor: America...

    On December 7th 1941 as World War II raged, the focus of attention was snatched from the battlefields of Europe and diverted to the smoke and flames rising from the American Naval Base in Hawaii, Pearl Harbor. The Empire of the Rising Sun had finally struck, piercing the heart of the US navy in a bid to ensure that their plans for an Asian Empire, every bit as ambitious as Adolf Hitler’s Thousand Year Reich, were not threatened. 
     
    But as the injured were rushed to safety and America reeled from the shock of the Japanese attack, those battling against Hitler, most notably Winston Churchill and the people of Great Britain, were able to find some comfort in the tragedy, because America’s President, Franklin D Roosevelt, could now justify bringing the United States into the war. 
     
    The story of Pearl Harbor may have been told many times, but it’s nonetheless always fascinating and in this journal, we will have the opportunity to revisit the events of that monumental day as they unfolded, from the bombing of the USS Panay to the attack on Pearl itself, while discovering the reasons why the Japanese fleets travelled far across the ocean, to pick a fight with World War II’s sleeping giant.

    Pundits have long predicted the end of conventional warfare but for the foreseeable future, 
    it is here to stay. Counterinsurgency, guerrilla warfare, terrorism, peace enforcement, policing. 
     
     
     
    All these forms, like conventional warfare, are as old as mankind. Modern militaries claim to be 
    professional bodies, responsible for the education, control, and discipline of their members. But at least one aspect of this claim is poorly executed: tactics are not taught to junior leaders, which is why this guide is essential for all junior leaders, officers, and NCOs alike. 
     
     
     
    There is a military adage that there is no teacher like the enemy. True; but the wise commander 
    prepares to meet that enemy and become their teacher instead. This is your essential study guide.
