Sinopse

When Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, Kateryna hung up her dresses, Oksana and Stanislav put down their lawyers' briefs and Oksen slammed shut his philosophy textbooks. Alongside thousands of their fellow citizens, they strapped on armour, picked up weapons and chose to risk their lives for the freedom and independence of their homeland. Many would never return.
Journalist Tom Mutch woke up in Kyiv on 24 February to a world changed for ever. Making a fateful choice to stay and cover the invasion, he witnessed the forging of an 'iron generation' of young Ukrainians. With first-hand reporting from all the major battlegrounds and front lines, The Dogs of Mariupol recounts the war's notorious encounters, such as the Battle of Kyiv and the Siege of Mariupol, but also uncovers untold stories, like the 1st Tank Brigade's desperate defence of Chernihiv and the civilian guerrilla army fighting overwhelming odds in Sumy.
This is not a triumphalist account of Ukraine's fight, however. It painstakingly documents the immense human catastrophe wrought on Ukrainian society and the divisions between those who fought and those who fled. It also delves deeper into events to answer important historical questions: could the Russian plan to capture Kyiv have succeeded? Did Ukraine make a fatal error by committing for so long to the defence of Bakhmut? And with more western support, could Ukraine have won this terrible war outright?

    his book brings together the powerful legends of three distinct warrior cultures—each embodying courage, honor, and the relentless pursuit of justice in their respective eras. 
    First, delve into the legendary King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, whose heroic deeds in medieval Britain have inspired countless generations. Explore the honor and chivalry that defined Arthurian legend and how the myth of Camelot shaped Western notions of heroism. 
    Next, venture to the ancient land of the Samurai, where loyalty, discipline, and combat prowess were the cornerstones of an elite warrior class. The Samurai's code of Bushido is legendary, and their stories are filled with battles, honor, and sacrifice, from the feudal era of Japan to the powerful influence they had on modern culture. 
    Finally, step into the rugged frontier of the American Old West, where legendary figures such as Wild Bill Hickok, Billy the Kid, and other frontier heroes became symbols of bravery and resilience. These warriors faced perilous challenges in the unforgiving landscapes of the American frontier, fighting for survival, freedom, and justice in a lawless world. 
    Through gripping storytelling, Legendary Warriors honors the enduring spirit of warriors from different cultures and explores the common themes of courage, loyalty, and sacrifice that define their timeless legacies.

    The path to the attack on Pearl Harbor was paved by years of escalating tension between Japan, the United States, and other global powers. By the 1930s, Japan had increasingly pursued aggressive territorial expansion in Asia. The country sought to secure resources to fuel its growing industrial machine, leading to its invasion of China and the creation of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. This expansionist ideology put Japan on a collision course with Western powers, particularly the United States, who had significant economic interests in the Pacific region. 
      
    As Japan moved to solidify its dominance in Asia, the United States responded with growing concern and diplomatic opposition. American policymakers viewed Japan’s actions as a direct threat to regional stability and their own economic interests, especially in China and the Philippines. By the late 1930s, the United States had placed significant economic sanctions on Japan, including an oil embargo that severely limited Japan’s access to vital resources. The embargo further strained relations between the two nations, as Japan’s need for oil and raw materials became critical to its war machine. 
      
    In response, Japan’s leadership became more determined to secure access to Southeast Asia’s oil reserves. The Japanese government began to focus on expanding its influence over the Dutch East Indies, British Malaya, and other territories rich in natural resources. Japan’s growing militarism and its desire for expansion were met with an increasingly isolationist stance from the United States. The U.S. saw Japan’s actions as imperialistic, but its leaders were hesitant to directly intervene, largely due to the isolationist sentiments that permeated American politics following World War I.
