Beschreibung

In "Deeds That Won the Empire," W. H. Fitchett presents a compelling exploration of the pivotal moments and extraordinary figures that shaped the British Empire. Utilizing a vivid narrative style, Fitchett weaves together a series of historical accounts that both illuminate and dramatize the sacrifices and triumphs accompanying Britain's imperial pursuits. The book is structured thematically, covering a range of military and diplomatic achievements, and provides a critical lens on the moral and ethical implications of imperialism, reflecting the complex dynamics of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. W. H. Fitchett was not only a prominent author but also an accomplished journalist and historian, whose British patriotic sentiment and keen interest in military history significantly informed his writing. Born in 1850, Fitchett's experiences as a war correspondent during the Second Boer War undoubtedly influenced his understanding of the realities of colonial conflict and imperial aspiration, enabling him to depict these events with both authenticity and poignancy. For readers interested in imperial history, military strategy, or the ethical dimensions of colonialism, "Deeds That Won the Empire" is an indispensable addition to their library. Fitchett's masterful storytelling and insightful analysis will not only educate but also provoke thought regarding the enduring legacy of empire in shaping modern society.

    Contrary to popular assumption, Arab women were instrumental in shaping world history. Between Rome’s intervention in the Arabian Peninsula and the Arab conquests, noblewomen ruled independently, conducting trade and making war. Their power was often celebrated as queen, priestess and goddess. With time they delegated power to the most important holy men of their age, influencing Arabian paganism, Christianity and Islam forever. 
    Empress Zenobia and queen Mavia supported bishops Paul of Samosata and Moses of Sinai. Paul was declared a heretic by the Roman church. Moses began the process of mass Arab conversion. The teachings of these men survived under their queens, setting in motion seismic debates that would fracture the early churches and lay the groundwork for the rise of Islam. In Mecca, lady Khadijah used her wealth and political influence to employ a younger man then marry him against the wishes of dissenting noblemen. Her husband, whose religious and political career was influenced by her, was the prophet Muhammad. 
    Long overdue, Queens and Prophets is a landmark exploration of the legacy of female power in late antique Arabia.

    Camel from Kyzylkum: A Memoir 
    What does it take to leave everything behind in search of freedom? 
    Born in Ukraine and later working in the Kyzylkum Desert of Uzbekistan, Lara Gelya spent the first half of her life behind the Iron Curtain. In 1989, at the age of thirty-nine, she fled the crumbling Soviet Union as a stateless refugee — carrying little more than hope. Her journey took her across Austria and Italy before she finally reached the United States, where she began the long and difficult process of rebuilding her life. 
    With honesty and vivid detail, Lara shares her experiences of growing up under Soviet rule, navigating cultural dislocation, and finding strength in the face of uncertainty. Camel from Kyzylkum is more than a memoir of immigration — it is a story of resilience, courage, and the universal search for freedom and belonging. 
    Perfect for listeners of historical memoirs, refugee stories, and anyone who values the enduring power of the human spirit.

    How do you begin your life again when you’ve lost everything you’ve worked for and your dreams have been shattered? 
    That was the question beloved Australian author Belinda Alexandra faced one freezing winter night when she ran from her home in terror, clutching only her wallet, her phone and her latest manuscript on a USB stick. 
    To pull herself up from rock bottom, Belinda drew strength from the real life women who had inspired her bestselling historical fiction: her mother, Tatiana Morosoff, a White Russian who had fled a home more than once due to wars and revolutions; Virginia Hall, an American who lost her leg in an accident but went on to become one of the most revered Allied agents in World War II France; Carmen Amaya, who despite being born into abject poverty in Barcelona rose to become the greatest Flamenco dancer of all time; Edna Walling, who lost her own dream home in a freak fire but created garden designs that made her one of Australia’s most celebrated landscape designers. 
    They were women who had faced seemingly insurmountable challenges and found ways to forge ahead on their own terms. 
    In a compelling and exquisite blend of memoir and history, Belinda shows readers that, no matter what challenge they might be facing, there is always the possibility of building a bold life full of meaning again from the ashes.
