Amid the corruption and power struggles of the collapse of theRoman Republic, Cicero (106-43BC) produced some of the moststirring and eloquent speeches in history. A statesman and lawyer,he was one of the only outsiders to penetrate the aristocraticcircles that controlled the Roman state, and became renowned forhis speaking to the Assembly, Senate and courtrooms. Whetherfighting corruption, quashing the Catiline conspiracy, defendingthe poet Archias or railing against Mark Antony in the Philippics -the magnificent arguments in defence of liberty which led to hisbanishment and death - Cicero's speeches are oratory masterpieces,vividly evocative of the cut and thrust of Roman politicallife.

“Reads like a novel. A fast-paced page-turner, it haseverything: sex, wit, humor, and adventures. But it is animpressively researched and important story.” —David Fromkin, author of Europe’s Last Summer Vienna, 1814 is an evocative and brilliantly researched accountof the most audacious and extravagant peace conference in modernEuropean history. With the feared Napoleon Bonaparte presumablydefeated and exiled to the small island of Elba, heads of some 216states gathered in Vienna to begin piecing together the ruins ofhis toppled empire. Major questions loomed: What would be done withFrance? How were the newly liberated territories to be divided?What type of restitution would be offered to families of thedeceased? But this unprecedented gathering of kings, dignitaries,and diplomatic leaders unfurled a seemingly endless stream ofpersonal vendettas, long-simmering feuds, and romanticentanglements that threatened to undermine the crucial work athand, even as their hard-fought policy dec
This compelling Icelandic history describes the life of KingHarald Hardradi, from his battles across Europe and Russia to hisfinal assault on England in 1066, less than three weeks before theinvasion of William the Conqueror. It was a battle that led to hisdeath and marked the end of an era in which Europe had beendominated by the threat of Scandinavian forces. Despite England'striumph, it also played a crucial part in fatally weakening theEnglish army immediately prior to the Norman Conquest, changing thecourse of history. Taken from the Heimskringla Snorri Sturluson'scomplete account of Norway from prehistoric times to 1177 this is abrilliantly human depiction of the turbulent life and savage deathof the last great Norse warrior-king.

Around 330 b.c., a remarkable adventurer named Pytheas set outfrom the Greek colony of Massalia (now Marseille) on theMediterranean Sea to explore the fabled, terrifying lands ofnorthern Europe. Renowned archaeologist Barry Cunliffe herere-creates Pytheas's unprecedented journey, which occurred almost300 years before Julius Caesar landed in Britain. Beginning with aninvaluable pocket history of early Mediterranean civilization,Cunliffe illuminates what Pytheas would have seen andexperienced-the route he likely took to reach Brittany, thenBritain, Iceland, and Denmark; and evidence of the ancient cultureshe would have encountered on shore. The discoveries Pytheas madewould reverberate throughout the civilized world for years to come,and in recounting his extraordinary voyage, Cunliffe chronicles anessential chapter in the history of civilization.
成吉思汗和他的蒙古帝国一直被认为是依靠武力征服了世界。但事实上成吉思汗每次出兵都不过十万人，即便战斗力再强，也很难一口气征服40多个国家、720多个民族和6亿的人口。成吉思汗究竟是靠什么征服了世界？ 为了探寻答案，蒙元史专家杰克·威泽弗德用18年的时间游历蒙古，曾围绕古蒙古帝国走了整整一个夏天，然后惊奇地发现：成吉思汗征服世界，靠的不仅仅是所向披靡的蒙古铁骑，还有他将横跨欧亚的不同民族、不同宗教、不同语言的人们凝聚在一起的智慧与魅力。 从起初的征服战争开始，成吉思汗就对发现人才很感兴趣。每当征服一个城市之后，他就会下令全面清查当地人口资源，包括他们拥有的本领。他着重招募忠诚的战士和有特殊技能的人，比如会制造武器的人、从事金属加工的人，或充当向导、间谍和侦察的人。后来他的兴趣扩大到包括
Written by one of the world’s foremost historians of humanmigration, Peoples and Empires is the story of the greatEuropean empires—the Roman, the Spanish, the French, theBritish—and their colonies, and the back-and-forth between “us” and“them,” culture and nature, civilization and barbarism, the centerand the periphery. It’s the history of how conquerors justifiedconquest, and how colonists and the colonized changed each otherbeyond all recognition.

In AD 476 the Roman Empire fell–or rather, its western halfdid. Its eastern half, which would come to be known as theByzantine Empire, would endure and often flourish for anothereleven centuries. Though its capital would move to Constantinople,its citizens referred to themselves as Roman for the entireduration of the empire’s existence. Indeed, so did its neighbors,allies, and enemies: When the Turkish Sultan Mehmet II conqueredConstantinople in 1453, he took the title Caesar of Rome, placinghimself in a direct line that led back to Augustus. For far too many otherwise historically savvy people today, thestory of the Byzantine civilization is something of a void. Yet formore than a millennium, Byzantium reigned as the glittering seat ofChristian civilization. When Europe fell into the Dark Ages,Byzantium held fast against Muslim expansion, keeping Christianityalive. When literacy all but vanished in the West, Byzantium madeprimary education available to both sexes. Students debated themerits
A lively, compulsively browsable collection of neglectednotables-from the bestselling author of A Treasury of RoyalScandals "History," wrote Thomas Carlyle, "is the essence of innumerablebiographies." Yet countless fascinating characters are relegated toa historical limbo. In A Treasury of Foolishly ForgottenAmericans , Michael Farquhar has scoured the annals and rescuedthirty of the most intriguing, unusual, and yes, memorableAmericans from obscurity. From the mother of Mother's Day to PaulRevere's rival rider, the Mayflower murderer to "America'sSherlock Holmes," these figures are more than historicalrunners-up-they're the spies, explorers, patriots, and martyrswithout whom history as we know it would be very differentindeed.

If this is a book about war, it is equally a book about the hypocrisy and indifference of those in power. Fisk is an angry man and more than a little self-righteous. No national leader comes off with a scrap of credit here; he regards the lot of them with contempt, if not loathing. Among the men in charge -- whether Arab, Iranian, Turkish, Israeli, British or American -- there are no heroes and precious few honorable people doing their inadequate best in difficult situations. Jimmy Carter is lucky to escape with condescension, King Hussein of Jordan with a bit better than that. Fisk is not fond of the media either (though he grants some exceptions); CNN and the New York Times are particular targets of his scorn for what he sees as their abject failure to challenge the lies, distortions and cover-ups of U.S. policymakers. Only among ordinary people, entangled in a web of forces beyond their control, does Fisk find a human mixture of courage, cowardice, charity and cruelty!
