A history of the Crusades. Out of the chaos of Muslim tribal warfare and regional animosity arose a military genius such as Islam had never known: Saladin. Uniting the sultanates of Cairo and Damascus, Saladin created a single powerful state. Luring the crusaders into an ill-considered confrontation, he destroyed their army at the Battle of Hattin in 1187, leaving the few remaining crusaders clinging perilously to a series of towns and forts along the Levantine coast. Into this desperate situation stepped the most formidable warrior of the age, Richard the Lion-Hearted.

This book attempts to show that the Civil War was more than a succession of battles; it was a struggle between two civilizations... The motive for secession, slavery, was indefensible in the long run...It is reasonably clear today, that the South would have discarded slavery in another generation; and that the New Nationalism would have come about without the Civil War. Yet the war dominated the American mind for forty years and is worthy of study if only on this account.

Essai historique et philosophique, ce livre prend la Révolution française pour terrain d’étude et ouvre une réflexion sur la psychologie des révolutions. Avec une analyse lucide et méthodique, Gustave Le Bon interroge les mécanismes qui entraînent les bouleversements: comment naissent les élans, comment se propagent les idées, comment les sociétés changent de cap. Au-delà des faits, il explore ce qui se joue dans l’esprit collectif et au cœur des crises. Une écoute stimulante pour comprendre l’allure des grands retournements et la logique qui les porte.

Military operations in Fredericksburg, Virginia, were a significant part of the Chancellorsville Campaign, but they have been overshadowed by what occurred in the wilderness of Spotsylvania County, where Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson’s forces overwhelmed a hapless Union army. That struggle in the woods in the spring of 1863 has been the subject of numerous studies, and its geographical setting is a prominent component of the Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park.

In the fading light of August 28, 1862, an untested Union brigade of Wisconsin and Indiana men fought an unexpected 90-minute stand-up clash with the Confederate veterans of Stonewall Jackson on the Virginia farm fields of John Brawner. The Rebels recalled a Wisconsin man that day “yelling like demons [in] a roaring hell of fire.” Despite its fascinating origins and far-reaching consequences, surprisingly little has been penned about this remarkable engagement.

Few Civil War generals attracted as much debate and controversy as Pierre Gustav Toutant Beauregard. He combined brilliance and charisma with arrogance and histrionics. He was a Catholic Creole in a society dominated by white Protestants, which made him appear exotic next to the likes of Albert Sidney Johnston and Robert E. Lee. He was reviled by Jefferson Davis and mocked by Mary Chesnut in her diary.

Our ability to make a fist is what distinguishes humans from every other species, including primates. The fist has played a crucial role in the birth of language and appears in nearly every form of nonverbal communication. We use our fist to protest oppression, give pleasure, knock on doors, give daps, and (inaccurately) measure our heart. Yet the fist is also a sign of someone on the edge. This book asks what happens when we lean over the edge of what a fist can do and symbolize.

Operation Cornflakes is a gripping account of one of World War II’s most audacious and little-known psychological operations. Cyril Marlen reconstructs how a handful of intelligence officers, printers, linguists, and airmen conspired to turn the Nazi postal system into an instrument of its own undoing. This is the story of how ink and paper became weapons, how forged stamps and counterfeit newspapers travelled through bombed-out rail yards and into German kitchens, and how the relentless craft of deception sought to undermine a regime that depended on the control of information.

La Segunda Guerra Mundial en Asia no se redujo a Pearl Harbor, las bombas atómicas o los marines norteamericanos dando «saltos de rana» de una isla a otra. Al mismo nivel que el Frente Oriental en la Unión Soviética, la Guerra del Pacífico fue el teatro de operaciones más devastador y sangriento que abarcó un amplio espacio geográfico a lo largo de China, Micronesia, Insulindia, Birmania, India, Mongolia e incluso las costas septentrionales de Norteamérica.
