Napoleon Bonaparte: A Life Alan Schom
From humble beginnings on the island of Corsica, Napoleon became ruler of France and pursued a military strategy of expansion fed by his lust for power over all Europe as a ‘new Alexander the Great’. In this classic biograpy, Alan Schom chronicles the battles and conquests which Napoleon led, and offers portraits of Napoleon’s chief generals and statesmen, including Talleyrand and Fouché. More than a description of men, it is a telling of a fierce period in European history. There is also an account of Napoleon’s final days, during which he was poisoned. Schom lists the suspects in the murder, which brought an end to the life of a controversial figure who made huge territorial gains for the New Republic of France. The life of Napoleon Bonaparte is an extremely thorough account by Alan ...
Napoleon vs the Old and New World Orders: How the Rothschilds Conquered Britain & France M King
We all know, at least vaguely, the story about Napoleon Bonaparte. You know -- the one about the self-professed son of a republican revolution against monarchy, who then installed himself as a monarch. Napoleon was, we are told, an egomaniacal tyrant with "short man's inferiority complex" who tried to enslave the European continent. Led by the brave British, a coalition of “The Good Guys" banded together to thwart the ambitions of the great “usurper” and trouble-maker of Europe. There is just one problem with this official narrative of the giant historical figure of the 1800’s. To put it gently – it’s a damn lie. (surprise – surprise). Now, one can easily understand the reason for the propagation of lies and slanders aimed at Napoleon being perpetuated by the entrenched monarchies of Eu...

Nehru's 97 Major Blunders Mr Rajnikant Puranik
Study the past, if you would divine the future. —Confucius “...[then] it seemed to me that Jawaharlal should be the new President [of Congress in 1946—and hence the first Prime Minister] ...I acted according to my best judgement but the way things have shaped since then has made me to realise that this was perhaps the greatest blunder of my political life... My second mistake was that when I decided not to stand myself, I did not support Sardar Patel.” —Abul Kalam Azad, ‘India Wins Freedom’ “He [Nehru] had no idea of economics. He talked of Socialism, but he did not know how to define it. He talked of social justice, but I told him he could have this only when there was an increase in production. He did not grasp that.

Nínive: la historia y el legado de la antigua capital asiria Charles River Editors
"Capturé 46 ciudades ... mediante la consolidación de rampas para levantar carneros, ataques de infantería, minas, brechas y motores de asedio." - Senaquerib Cuando los estudiosos estudian la historia del antiguo Cercano Oriente, a menudo se destacan varias guerras que tuvieron consecuencias extremadamente brutales (al menos para los estándares modernos). La eliminación forzada de poblaciones enteras, los asedios que diezmaron ciudades enteras y la destrucción ilícita de propiedades fueron tácticas utilizadas por los diversos pueblos del antiguo Cercano Oriente unos contra otros, pero los asirios fueron los primeros en hacer de la guerra una ciencia. Cuando se menciona a los asirios, las imágenes de guerra y brutalidad son las primeras que vienen a la mente, a pesar de que su cultura prosp...
