During the formative years of the Ming Dynasty the Chinese government dispatched hundreds of gigantic ships, some over 400 feet long, into the Indian Ocean.The enterprise was dubbed Zheng He's Seven Voyages to the Western Ocean because the Ming fleets, led by the legendary Admiral Zheng He, went to sea altogether seven times. After twenty-seven years these maritime expeditions mysteriously stopped. To date no scholar is entirely certain of the reason behind the undertaking. Although practically unknown in the West, these events made indelible impressions on the Southeast Asians. Today Admiral Zheng He is regarded as a god and is worshipped in temples not just in China, but throughout Southeast Asia This year we see the 600th anniversary of the Ming Chinese launching of their monumental excursions, and scholars have renewed their interest in the historical events. There are speculations and assertions that the Ming fleets actually went beyond the Indian Oceanand even sailed to Americaall before Christopher Columbus had made his momentous trips. However, researchers seem to be able to neither prove their hypotheses nor disprove them. In any case, it does seem odd that the Chinese, with their superior naval technology would choose to confine their activities to local waters only. Nevertheless, to prove that they did, one needs irrefutable evidence because the suggestion challenges centuries of established history. Historian/researcher Anatole Andro believes that if such evidence exists, it will need to be European evidence to prove the case. By leaving theIndian Oceanthe Chinese would be entering European territory, so to speak. If confirmation to this effect is lacking it will not only fail to prove that the Chinese had sailed outside their local waters, but on the contrary, it would be as good as proof that the Ming Chinese never went beyond their traditional sphere of interest. For two and a half years the author searched for such evidence, examining each piece of suspected artifact and following up on every lead. Not only was he able to uncover such evidence he found the evidence to be widespread. Further, scholars had examined such evidence and either discarded, ignored, or obscured it. This book is the presentation of Mr. Andro's research data, his analyses of the data thereof, and the startling but inevitable conclusions that he arrived at. Written in easy to understand language, this book challenges you to accept his findings or dispute it. In either case it is a thrill ride.

On March 8, 1421, the largest fleet the world had ever seen set sail from China to "proceed all the way to the ends of the earth to collect tribute from the barbarians beyond the seas." When the fleet returned home in October 1423, the emperor had fallen, leaving China in political and economic chaos. The great ships were left to rot at their moorings and the records of their journeys were destroyed. Lost in the long, self-imposed isolation that followed was the knowledge that Chinese ships had reached America seventy years before Columbus and had circumnavigated the globe a century before Magellan. And they colonized America before the Europeans, transplanting the principal economic crops that have since fed and clothed the world.

This selection of over 200 texts, nearly all appearing for the first time in English translation, provides a close-up look at the crusades against the Hussite heretics of 15th-century Bohemia, from the perspective of the official Church - or at their struggles for religious freedom, from the Hussites' own point of view. It also throws light on the meaning of the crusading movement and on the nature of warfare in the late Middle Ages. There is no single documentary account of the conflict, but the riveting events can be reconstructed from a wide range of contemporary sources: chronicles, sermons, manifestos, songs, bulls, imperial correspondence, military and diplomatic communiqués, liturgy, military ordinances, trade embargos, epic poems, letters from the field, Jewish documents, speeches, synodal proceedings, and documents from popes, bishops, emperors and city councils. These texts reveal the zeal and energy of the crusaders but also their deep disunity, growing frustration and underlying fears - and likewise the heresy, determination and independence of the Hussites. Five times the cross was preached and the vastly superior forces of the official church and the empire marched into Bohemia to suppress the peasant armies. Five times they were humiliated and put to flight.

This incredible exploration of the murky world of pseudo-history reveals the mix of proven facts, informed speculation, and pure fiction behind lost continents, ancient super-civilizations, and conspiratorial cover-ups—as well as the revisionist historical foundations of religions such as the Nation of Islam and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Drawing on the best scholarship available, Ronald H. Fritze shows that in spite of strong, mainstream historical evidence to the contrary, many of these ideas have proved durable and gained widespread acceptance. As the examples in Invented Knowledge reveal, pseudo-historians capitalize on and exploit anomalies in evidence to support their claims, rather than examining the preponderance of research as a whole.

西方知識體系用三支畫筆所描繪的歷史，是真的史實嗎？ 拋下這三支畫筆，重新審視歷史，東方其實沒想像中那麼弱！ 從開始學習歷史以來，東方就是弱的，西方才是強權，如果不是西方人挾帶槍砲打開中國的大門，現在的中國不會有這樣的富強？這樣的世界觀是誰勾勒出來的？東方有如西方所說，是個貧窮、沒有理性、欠缺法律觀念的弱國嗎？因為課本這樣寫，所以以上這些都是事實？不！以下才是。 哥倫布「發現新大陸」是場世紀大騙局，他乃是地圖在握，信心十足地前往「未知的」彼岸。早在哥氏之前，印度洋上早有霸權存在，明成祖深諳地緣政治，為進行朝貢貿易，多次派遣鄭和下西洋，再兵分多路進而探索北美、南美，乃至整個世界。故此，歐洲各國便能按圖索驥，積極殖民美洲大陸並繼續前往亞洲。當世界貿易打開之後，這條太平洋的海上絲路將中國的絲綢、瓷器等精美工藝品送到太平洋彼端，為明清中國賺進大量白銀。此絲路延續了250年，由馬尼拉大帆船將產自江南的絲綢（與瓷器等），從菲律賓運送到墨西哥的阿卡普科城。 這些歷史課本上看不到的史實，全都是因為西方知識體系的三支畫筆，第一支畫筆是二分法，分成西方╱東方、 進步╱落後、資本╱封建等等；第二支畫筆是費正清以1842年為分界，1842年以前的中國是傳統、封建、落伍的，不值得研究的，西方社會才是進步的； 第三支畫筆是華勒斯坦的歐洲中心主義，非西方國家只能等待西方列強來使其「併入」世界經濟之中。 在這三支畫筆下，許多歷史事實是被掩蓋的。因此，讓我們一起來看看這些被掩蓋的事實，連歷史老師都不知道的事實，究竟真相為何？

Henry V, also called Henry of Monmouth, was King of England from 1413 until his death in 1422. He was the second English monarch of the House of Lancaster. Despite his relatively short reign, Henry's outstanding military successes in the Hundred Years' War against France, most notably in his famous victory at the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, made England one of the strongest military powers in Europe. This two volume monograph gives a complete insight into the life and character of one of the greatest warrior kings of medieval England.

What are the independent variables that determine success in war? Drawing on 40 years of studying and teaching war, political scientist Christian P. Potholm presents a 'template of Mars,' seven variables that have served as predictors of military success over time and across cultures. In Winning at War, Potholm explains these variables_technology, sustained ruthlessness, discipline, receptivity to innovation, protection of military capital from civilians and rulers, will, and the belief that there will always be another war_and provides case studies of their implementation, from ancient battles to today.

A how-to manual which will take an individual from being "a man" to "the man" in 12 short months, step by step. July Jones and Monty Sharpe, two members of The Coalition, have chosen to shed the cloak of anonymity and chronicle the thoughts and philosophies of the single members of the organization. To date, other Coalition members have chosen to remain anonymous.
