Med general Hafez al-Assads militærkup i 1970 blev den syriske civilbefolkning udsat for markant undertrykkelse. Overvågning, ensretning og tortur. Regimets fængsler var fyldt til randen af politiske fanger, som blev udsat for en gruopvækkende behandling. Hensigten var at nedbryde al modstand og samtidig sende et klart signal til den øvrige befolkning: én forkert tanke, ét forkert ord kan medføre indespærring i årevis og pinefulde afhøringer med sømbeslåede stokke, elektriske kabler, barberblade, knibtænger og rødglødende metal.

Die Kreuzfahrer, die zurück in ihre Heimatdörfer humpelten und vertrocknete Palmblätter aus dem Heiligen Land auf die Altäre der Kirchen legten, hatten 1099 gesiegt: Jerusalem war in christlicher Hand. Was zählte der gemeinsame Glaube, wenn es um Gold und Macht ging?

In this authoritative but light-hearted account of beers gone by, archaeologist Tate Paulette brings the famous "land between the rivers" back to life in vivid detail. We meet not only the beers of ancient Mesopotamia, but also the people who brewed them and drank them, the places where these people lived and worked, the taverns and temples and tombs where they did their drinking, the stories they told about beer, their preferred styles of drinking, their brewing equipment and drinking paraphernalia, the gods and goddesses who governed their lives and who were also partial to a drink.

Moving through the ages, Arielli reveals the religious, economic, military, and scientific importance of the lake, which has been both a source of great wealth and a site of war.

The most important task of any government remains the defence of its state and its citizens. Traditionally governments have used armed forces to do this. World events and comparative peace in Europe since 1989 have led most European governments to lose their focus on defence. However, recent events have proved that war is now as nasty, violent, destructive and prevalent as it has ever been, and governments need to fundamentally re-think their relationship with armies and soldiers.

In September 2022, twenty-two-year-old Kurdish-Iranian woman Mahsa Jina Amini is killed by Iran’s morality police in Tehran for allegedly wearing her hijab too loosely. Outrage triggers nationwide protests. Women rip off their headscarves, setting them afire. Others cut their hair in open defiance. Key industries are brought to a standstill, and once-revered banners of the country’s Supreme Leader are incinerated. It’s the greatest challenge to the Islamic Republic of Iran in its forty-six-year history—not coming from a foreign adversary but from their own freedom-seeking women.

Imagine a war without battlefields. There are no uniforms. Civilians and combatants are indistinguishable. Homes, schools, hospitals, and religious buildings are used as command and communication centers, and for the warehousing of weapons. Apartment rooftops are launching pads; the civilians who live inside . . . human shields.
