In 1603 England was on the edge of crisis. Queen Elizabeth I had died, bringing the Tudor line to an end. Enter King James, who reached London after an unprecedented procession from Scotland. James established a new dynasty on the English throne and the first ‘united’ kingdom of England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales was born. The Stuarts had arrived. But first, this new ‘Great Britain’ had to play catch up. England was behind, but James’s global ambitions began to shift the tide.

In the shadowed swamps of Revolutionary South Carolina, General Francis Marion—the Swamp Fox—waged a war of wits against the British Empire, turning mud and moonlight into weapons of liberty. With a ragtag militia, he struck like thunder, vanishing before the redcoats could strike back, his name a whispered legend of defiance. Now, in The Swamp Fox Unleashed, retired Marine Colonel Daniel Hunter Wilson reveals how Marion’s guerrilla genius echoes through centuries, shaping the Marine Corps’ modern doctrine of maneuver warfare.

Truth Be Told is more than a personal testimony. It is a cautionary story of the dangers to multiculturalism and democracy when leaders fold in the face of coercion, place expediency above principles, refuse to stand against antisemitism, and silence the only person in government with the courage to speak out.

Phocion (402-318 BCE) won Athens's highest public office by direct democratic election an unmatched forty-five times and was officially honored as a "Useful Citizen." A student at Plato's Academy, Phocion gained influence and power during a time when Athens faced multiple crises stemming from Macedonia's emergence as an international power under Philip II and his son Alexander the Great. Following Athens's defeat by Macedonia, Phocion unsuccessfully sought mild terms of surrender. Oligarchy was imposed on democratic Athens, and more than twelve thousand "undesirable" Athenians were exiled.

Имя Мао Цзедуна прочно связано в массовом сознании с ужасами Культурной революции и абсурдными решениями эпохи Большого скачка. Уничтожение воробьев и принуждение крестьян к выплавке стали в домашних условиях привели к катастрофическим последствиям. Количество жертв террора исчисляется десятками миллионов и до сих пор не установлено точно. Тем не менее, в самом Китае, великого Кормчего хоть и разрешено критиковать, но не слишком сильно. Кем же был один из самых жестоких тиранов XX столетия?

No mundo todo, a mídia, mais preocupada em chocar do que em informar, associa a Israel a imagem de um estado militarista, que promove massacres de palestinos e se opõe a qualquer tentativa de paz na região. A aliança entre fundamentalistas islâmicos, pseudopacifistas e esquerdistas de...

In this candid memoir, United States Senator John Fetterman shares the story of his journey in public service (which started by winning his first election by a single vote in 2005), including unvarnished details of his life-threatening stroke and struggles with depression, the truth about what really happens in Washington, and his vision for navigating our divided country’s future.

Margaret Thatcher was a woman of tremendous paradoxes: a conviction politician who was also a pragmatist; someone who delighted in her tough reputation, yet could also be emotional, and even tearful, when confronted by personal or national tragedy. Her reputation as a cabinet leader was one of being quasi-dictatorial, yet she left her ministers to get on with their jobs - far more than any of her successors ever have. She was known as a classical laissez faire liberal, yet she started out as a social conservative, and wasn't averse to state intervention when she felt it was warranted.
