'A rare gift . . . The story he has to tell may be a thrilling one but not every historian could tell it so thrillingly.' Financial Times 'Magnificently rip-roaring history . . . Bursting with colour and excitement.' Dominic Sandbrook As remarkable as Columbus and the conquistador expeditions, the history of Portuguese exploration is now almost forgotten. But Portugal's navigators cracked the code of the Atlantic winds, launched the expedition of Vasco da Gama to India and beat the Spanish to the spice kingdoms of the East - then set about creating the first long-range maritime empire. In an astonishing blitz of thirty years, a handful of visionary and utterly ruthless empire builders, with few resources but breathtaking ambition, attempted to seize the Indian Ocean, destroy Islam and take control of world trade. Conquerors is narrative history at its most vivid - an epic tale of navigation, trade and technology, money and religious zealotry, political diplomacy and espionage, sea battles and shipwrecks, endurance, courage and terrifying brutality. Drawing on extensive first-hand accounts, Crowley brings to life the exploits of an extraordinary band of conquerors - men such as Afonso de Albuquerque, the first European since Alexander the Great to found an Asian empire - who set in motion five hundred years of European colonisation and unleashed the forces of globalisation.

The enormous size of the Roman empire and the length of time it endured call for an understanding of the institutions which sustained it. In this book, Keith Hopkins, who is both classicist and sociologist, uses various sociological concepts and methods to gain new insights into how traditional Roman institutions changed as the Romans acquired their empire. He examines the chain reactions resulting from increased wealth; various aspects of slavery, especially manumission and the cost of freedom; the curious phenomenon of the political power wielded by eunuchs at court; and in the final chapter he discusses the Roman emperor's divinity and the circulation of untrue stories, which were a currency of the political system. Professor Hopkins has developed an exciting approach to social questions in antiquity and his book should be of interest to all students of ancient history and of historical sociology.

A New York Times bestseller, The Conquerors reveals how Franklin Roosevelt's and Harry Truman's private struggles with their aides and Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin affected the unfolding of the Holocaust and the fate of vanquished Nazi Germany. With monumental fairness and balance, The Conquerors shows how Roosevelt privately refused desperate pleas to speak out directly against the Holocaust, to save Jewish refugees, and to explore the possible bombing of Auschwitz to stop the killing. The book also shows FDR's fierce will to ensure that Germany would never threaten the world again. Near the end of World War II, he abruptly endorsed the secret plan of his friend, Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau, to reduce the Germans to a primitive existence—despite Churchill's fear that crushing postwar Germany would let the Soviets conquer the continent. The book finally shows how, after FDR's death, President Truman rebelled against Roosevelt's tough approach and adopted the Marshall Plan and other more conciliatory policies that culminated in today's democratic, united Europe. As Presidents Roosevelt and Truman led the United States in World War II in Europe, they dealt with the question of what kind of government should be imposed on Nazi Germany to ensure that Germany could never again drag the world into war. The Conquerors tells the story with much intimate detail and color of how FDR and Truman privately struggled in their own minds and with titanic allies like Winston Churchill and Josef Stalin, through summits and secret messages, to answer that question.

What separates a leader from a follower? What allows some individuals to rise above the masses, command loyalty, and build legacies that last for generations? Why do some rulers crumble under the weight of their own power while others, like Cyrus the Great, create empires that shape history? The answer lies in mindset—a way of thinking, acting, and leading that turns ordinary individuals into legends. This book is not just about history. It is about power, strategy, leadership, and influence—the principles that drive success in any era, whether on the battlefield, in the boardroom, or in everyday life. The lessons of Cyrus the Great are not relics of the past; they are timeless strategies for anyone who seeks to lead, dominate, and inspire. Why Cyrus the Great? Throughout history, there have been many conquerors—Julius Caesar, Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan, and Napoleon, to name a few. But Cyrus was different. He did not just conquer—he built. He did not just command—he inspired. Cyrus’s leadership was a perfect balance of strength, strategy, and diplomacy. He ruled not just through force, but through fairness, vision, and respect. He understood that power is most effective when people willingly follow you, not when they are forced to obey. His empire, the Achaemenid Persian Empire, was the largest the world had ever seen at the time, stretching across three continents and encompassing many different cultures, languages, and religions. Unlike other rulers who imposed their rule through terror, Cyrus allowed his people to maintain their customs, religions, and ways of life—a revolutionary approach in ancient times. His strategies influenced leaders for centuries. The Persian model of governance was later adopted by the Romans, the Ottomans, and even modern governments. His leadership principles inspired the founding fathers of the United States, and his policies of religious tolerance were so respected that he is mentioned in the Bible as a liberator. Cyrus’s ability to balance power with wisdom, ambition with justice, and war with diplomacy makes him the ultimate model for leadership. The Purpose of This Book This book is not just about studying history—it is about applying history. It is a guide for leaders, entrepreneurs, warriors, and visionaries who want to develop the mindset of a conqueror. Each chapter explores a different aspect of Cyrus’s leadership and power strategy, including: How to inspire loyalty and dominate without oppression How to use strategy instead of brute force to win battles How to build alliances and turn enemies into allies How to cultivate resilience, both mentally and physically How to lead with discipline, fairness, and wisdom How to create a legacy that lasts beyond your lifetime Whether you are leading a company, commanding a team, building a brand, or simply seeking to take control of your own life, the lessons in this book will give you the mindset and strategies to achieve unstoppable success. Who This Book Is For This book is for those who refuse to be ordinary. It is for: Leaders who want to inspire loyalty and command respect Entrepreneurs who want to build something that lasts Strategists who want to outthink, outmaneuver, and outlast the competition Warriors—whether on the battlefield, in business, or in life—who want to cultivate unshakable resilience Anyone who seeks power, influence, and the ability to shape their own destiny If you are content with mediocrity, this book is not for you. But if you are hungry for power, eager to lead, and determined to leave your mark on the world, then keep reading—because the conqueror’s mindset is within your reach. The Conqueror’s Challenge Cyrus the Great was not born into unlimited power—he built it. He took risks, he adapted to challenges, and he never settled for weakness. His mindset allowed him to rise from an ordinary ruler to the founder of one of the greatest empires in history. Now, the question is: Will you apply these lessons to your own life? Will you rise beyond limitations, face challenges head-on, and build something that lasts? Or will you remain among the many who talk about power but never claim it? This book is your blueprint for leadership, dominance, and influence. But knowledge alone is not enough. You must act. You must think. You must lead. The conqueror’s mindset awaits you. Turn the page—and begin your journey.

The Conquerors describes the struggle between the Kuomintang and the Communists in the Cantonese revolution of the 1920s. It is both an exciting war story and a gallery of intellectual portraits: a ruthless Bolshevik revolutionary, a disillusioned master of propaganda, a powerful Chinese pacifist, and a young anarchist. Each of these "conquerors" will be crushed by the revolution they try to control. In a new Foreword, Herbert R. Lottman discusses the political background of the book, and the extent to which Malraux invented the history he wrote about. "[The Conquerors] is a valuable introduction to Malraux himself, who would, like his fictional counterpart, become an analgam of talents as novelist, essayist, Leftist and Gaullist, Resistance hero and art critic. He was among the most 'universal' of French men of letters."—Choice "The novel can be enjoyed as a remarkable work of modernism. With images derived from the silent cinema and prose from the telegraph, it moves at a tremendous pace. Canton all comes to violent life, seen as though from a speeding car."—Kirkus "No other writer of the 20th century had the same capacity to translate his personal adventure into a meeting with history and a dialogue of civilization."—Carlos Fuentes, New York Times Book Review

The first comprehensive study of the Song of Songs' use of military metaphors Although love transcends historical and cultural boundaries, its conceptualizations, linguistic expressions, and literary representations vary from culture to culture. In this study, Danilo Verde examines love through the military imagery found throughout the Song’s eight chapters. Verde approaches the military metaphors, similes, and scenes of the Song using cognitive metaphor theory to explore the overlooked representation of love as war. Additionally, this book investigates how the Song conceptualizes both the male and the female characters, showing that the concepts of masculinity and femininity are tightly interconnected in the poem. Conquered Conquerors provides fresh insights into the Song's figurative language and the conceptualization of gender in biblical literature.
