Sinopse

In "The Naval War of 1812 (Complete Edition)," Theodore Roosevelt examines the pivotal naval engagements that shaped the outcomes of the War of 1812 between the United States and Great Britain. Rooted in meticulous research and vivid storytelling, Roosevelt's comprehensive narrative captures the essence of maritime conflict and national identity in the early 19th century. His literary style deftly blends historical analysis with engaging prose, allowing readers to appreciate the strategic complexities and heroic undertakings of American naval forces, while positioning the conflict within its broader socio-political context. The 26th President of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt was not only a statesman but also a passionate historian and naturalist. His deep-seated interest in naval history was influenced by his upbringing and experiences in the military, particularly his view on naval power as critical to American strength. Convinced of the importance of a strong navy, Roosevelt delved into this subject matter, believing that understanding the past could inform future policies on national defense and international relations. I highly recommend "The Naval War of 1812" to both history enthusiasts and general readers alike. Roosevelt's engaging style and thorough analysis make this work an essential study for understanding early American naval history, and it sheds light on the emerging national character during this formative period.

    The Once and Future Sex - Going...

    A vibrant and illuminating exploration of medieval thinking on women's beauty, sexuality, and behavior. 
     
     
     
    What makes for the ideal woman? How should she look, love, and be? In this high-spirited history, medievalist Eleanor Janega turns to the Middle Ages, the era that bridged the ancient world and modern society, to unfurl its suppositions about women and reveal what's shifted over time—and what hasn't. 
     
     
     
    Enshrined medieval thinkers, almost always male, subscribed to a blend of classical Greek and Roman philosophy and Christian theology for their concepts of the sexes. For the height of female attractiveness, they chose the mythical Helen of Troy, whose imagined pear shape, small breasts, and golden hair served as beauty's epitome. Casting Eve's shadow over medieval women, they derided them as oversexed sinners, inherently lustful, insatiable, and weak. And, unless a nun, a woman was to be the embodiment of perfect motherhood. 
     
     
     
    In The Once and Future Sex, Janega unravels the restricting expectations on medieval women and the ones on women today. She boldly questions why, if our ideas of women have changed drastically over time, we cannot reimagine them now to create a more equitable future.

    Transnistria is a nowhereland hugging a narrow valley near the Black Sea. No bigger than Cornwall or Rhode Island, the unrecognised country is a Soviet museum long occupied by Russian ‘peace-keepers’. Its oligarchs in Adidas track suits hunt wild boar with AK-47s. Its young people train for revolution at the Che Guevara High School of Political Leadership. Its secret factories have supplied arms to African insurgents and electrical generators for Iran’s nuclear power programme. Yet its isolation and sliver-size belie the real threat it poses to the West, above all since Russia's invasion of Ukraine. 	‘We know our people and how to treat them, ' bragged a local-boy-made-good oligarch. ‘And I tell you that the only way to get them to act or to change their ways is to point a gun at their heads, and threaten to shoot.’	‘And if they still don’t change?’ I asked, shocked by his arrogant candour.	‘Then one pulls the trigger.’	Re-issued with a new Introduction, Back in the USSR is a snapshot in time - presented in a social realist style - and a chilling reminder of the fate that awaits the conquered.

    The Yompers - With 45 Commando...

    Called to action on 2 April 1982, the men of 45 Commando Royal Marines assembled from around the world to sail 8,000 miles to recover the Falkland Islands from Argentine invasion. Lacking helicopters and short of food, they ‘yomped’ in appalling weather carrying overloaded rucksacks, across the roughest terrain. Yet for a month in mid-winter, they remained a cohesive fighting-fit body of men. They then fought and won the highly successful and fierce night battle for Two Sisters, a 1,000 foot high mountain which was the key to the defensive positions around Stanley.
     
    
     
    This is a first hand story of that epic feat, but it is much more than that. The first to be written by a company commander in the Falklands War, the book gives a compelling, vivid description of the ‘yomp’ and infantry fighting, and it also offers penetrating insights into the realities of war at higher levels. It is a unique combination of descriptive writing about frontline fighting and wider reflections on the Falklands War, and conflict in general.
     
    
     
    Gritty and moving; sophisticated, reflective and funny, this book offers an abundance of timeless truths about war.
     
    
     
    Postscript: ‘Yomping’ was the word used by the Commandos for carrying heavy loads on long marches. It caught the public’s imagination during this short but bitter campaign and epitomized the grim determination and professionalism of our troops.
