W. L. Bevan’s The World’s Leading Conquerors is a compelling and meticulously crafted exploration of history’s most powerful military leaders and the empires they forged. First published in 1913, this remarkable work delves into the lives, strategies, and ambitions of conquerors whose legacies shaped civilizations and altered the course of human history.     From the unstoppable force of Alexander the Great to the tactical brilliance of Julius Caesar, from the sweeping campaigns of Genghis Khan to the unyielding ambition of Napoleon, Bevan paints vivid portraits of leaders who left an indelible mark on the world. Each chapter not only recounts their military triumphs but also delves into their motivations, their strategies, and the lasting impact of their conquests. Bevan’s insightful narrative captures both the glory and the cost of conquest, offering a balanced perspective on the duality of power and ambition.     Beyond individual biographies, The World’s Leading Conquerors weaves together a broader analysis of how these figures shaped their eras, transformed political landscapes, and influenced the development of nations. Whether admired as heroes or feared as tyrants, these conquerors defined epochs and reshaped the destinies of countless societies.     This Classicus edition brings Bevan’s timeless analysis to modern readers, preserving the depth and nuance of his original work. For history enthusiasts, students of military strategy, and anyone intrigued by the dynamics of power and ambition, The World’s Leading Conquerors is an essential and thought-provoking read.

    Celebrating the beauty, power, and joy of female friendship 
    Wingman: a pilot who flies behind and outside the leader of a flying formation. 
    While researching her first book, That’s What She Said, Kimothy Joy discovered that the famous women she was profiling were not alone in their success. Each of them were propelled forward by a supporter—a wing woman—a sister, a mom, a best friend, a close confidant. The remarkable partnerships they shared were as multifaceted and complex as the individual women themselves.  
    Extraordinary Wing Women is Joy’s tribute to the importance of female camaraderie. This collection features 33 stories, each varying in length. Some will be familiar power duos—Oprah and Gayle, Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan, Venus and Serena Williams. Others are less known though just as inspiring such as the friendship of Julia Child and her editor Avis DeVoto, Junko Tabei and her all-women mountaineering team, and the Mariposas—the Mirabel sisters who overthrew a dictator in the Dominican Republic. The women featured are from across the world and from diverse periods of history. They are activists, artists, scientists, politicians, athletes, musicians, writers, and more—role models for every woman. 
    Joy dedicates Extraordinary Wing Women to the generations of women who are dismantling the myth that we must compete with one another to pursue and achieve our dreams. History and fiction have shown that we are stronger when we support one another. Joy hopes to inspire and teach us that we, too, have our own wings and can soar higher than ever before with our wing women beside us.

    When England’s King Edward IV fell ill at Easter 1483 after coming back from a fishing trip and died shortly after on April 9, it threw a country that had already suffered a series of wars into a state of chaos. What exactly killed him is unclear, and though some people would later speculate that he had been poisoned, there is every reason to believe that he died of natural causes. Disease was common in medieval England, and doctors lacked much of the medical knowledge now taken for granted. The king's spectacular lifestyle had taken its toll, and he was significantly overweight, so it seems the lifestyle which he thought he had earned as king, and which he used to remind everyone of his status, was probably his undoing. 
    	Recognizing that death was coming, the 40-year-old Edward IV had tried to make arrangements for how the kingdom would be ruled during his son's minority. His aim was for Rivers to continue running the young king's household while Richard, Duke of Gloucester, became protector and took responsibility for running the country until Edward V was old enough to do so for himself. It was an arrangement designed to prevent any one person from gaining total authority during his son's childhood reign, and thus to protect the young king. 
    	At first, everything seemed to be going smoothly, but behind the scenes Richard was scheming. As Edward V and his guardian Rivers were travelling toward London, Richard and his substantial military retinue met them on the road. After setting Rivers and another adviser at ease through a pleasant dinner on April 29, Richard showed his true colors the next day by taking them captive and taking control of the teenaged king. His justification was the old classic of protecting a king from evil advisers. 
    	The chain of events also contributed to one of England’s most enduring mysteries, because Edward and Richard never emerged from the Tower of London.
