In this first volume of ancient leaders, the lives, battles and accomplishments of three of the most renowned warrior kings are examined. Alexander the Great hastened historical change in the Mediterranean and Near Eastern worlds, and his vision for a Panhellenic world stretched over two millennia after his death, crossing foreign cultures and religions, traditions and even nations far from his reach. He modeled himself after the hero Achilles of Trojan War fame, and was inspired by the legends of Hercules. He was fearless and sought to become one of the gods, ordained to unite the nations under his banner. Alexander the Great was the subject of many bright legends, both historical and imaginative, but he came to exemplify a heroic ideal in cultures from Egypt to Britain, and appears in Jewish, Christian and Islamic writings, making him one of the most powerful figures in ancient history. Charlemagne was the bridge between ancient and modern Europe and the spreader of Christianity among pagans to the north and south of Francia. He was an ingenious military strategist, a wise and ruthless leader, a cunning politician, and a devout believer who ensured the survival of Christianity in the West. He also believed himself above the rules of the church, and coldly ordered the execution of 4,500 prisoners. In an unprecedented act, he joined his military might and his monarchy to the power of the Church in Rome, giving him more power than any other king before him. He was the Holy Roman Emperor who fought against the legendary Vikings in the north, the Lombards in Italy, and everyone in between. His was the first empire to be established after the fall of Rome. Mongol leader Genghis Khan is believed by many to be greatest conqueror the world has ever known. His empire stretched from the Pacific Ocean to central Europe, including all of China, the Middle East, and Russia. An illiterate nomad, he rose to such colossal power and subdued most of the known world, eclipsing Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, and Napoleon. Some say he was a heinous murderer, and others believe he was a military genius. He was Temujin, a man who gathered together a loose collection of fractious tribes living under the harsh conditions of the Steppe. He was a strategist of astonishing cunning and versatility who coordinated an empire of varying cultures, uniting them with the strange lives of the Mongols, and he was one of the most powerful men ever to have lived. Genghis Khan was a scourge, a hero, a military genius, and to some a demi-god. He murdered millions in his quest to conquer the world by force, but in Mongolia, even today, he is revered as the father of the nation, and he is claimed by both the Mongols and the Chinese. His kingdom was twice the size of the Roman Empire, and the largest ever to be amassed. Concise, insightful, and eminently readable, Fierce Ruthless Warriors Who Shaped Ancient History: Vol I provides a wealth of information about three remarkable men and the impact they had on the world. Their stories are filled with violence and heroism, politics and diplomacy, social change and religious tolerance. And each made a mark on history as both a ruthless murderer and a visionary leader.

In this second exclusive volume of ancient leaders, we take an in depth look at the lives, battles and accomplishments of three more of the most renowned warrior leaders and the military strategies that made them legendary. Hannibal commanded and managed to sustain his army in the field for 16 years without a single mutiny, through massive military engagements with the Romans, and his would be the greatest army Rome would ever face. He was driven by his life-long pledge to "never be on friendly terms with the Romans" for their history of attacking trade routes dominated by Phoenicia, and he spoke his oath to his father and before the god, Ba'al, his namesake. It drove him to the most exhaustive and daring trek ever attempted by a marching army, one that took him through Spain and France, across the Alps and down through the heartland of Rome with thousands of men, horses and elephants in a campaign that was unprecedented, unexpected by the Romans, and unmatched to this day. Julius Caesar was a man of the people, a brilliant orator and statesman who managed to literally talk his way into the highest position in the Roman Senate. His military exploits have been admired by leaders and historians alike, but he was not always above board in his dealings. As with most leaders of his kind, he gained his reputation, at least in part, by conquering in the name of Rome, and he died by the same underhanded tactics he had dealt to others. Attila ruled from 434 CE until his death in 453, but he began is rise by shedding the blood of his brother. Rome paid him tribute for his protection, but he nevertheless invaded Italy, simply sparing the city in his campaign. He allegedly declined to strike a bargain with the vision of the saints, Peter and Paul, who told him they would strike him dead if he did not make amends with Pope Leo I, and Attila died the following year, telling the world "There where I have passed the grass will never grow again." Concise, intelligently written, and easy to read, Fierce Ruthless Warriors Who Shaped Ancient History Volume II is a treasure of facts gathered together in one volume to bring you a look at the lives of three extraordinary men and the impression they left on the world. Their stories are filled with hostility and bravery, governments and mediation, revolutionary strategies and personal crises. And each of these men made a mark on history as someone who followed the beat of his own drummer, employing his vision and drive for control to achieve some of the most remarkable feats ever accomplished in military history.

Infiltration, ambush, assassination, and espionage are the trademarks of the ninja. Their techniques are precise, timed, and their skills are that of legends. The mystery and mystique that surround the ninja have been popularized in Hollywood for decades. Their skills force us to bend our beliefs on what we believe is humanly possible. To their enemy they are ghosts. They make a kill before their presence is even known and disappear while the body hits the ground. They move in silence and stealth as individuals or in small teams. They are now facing a foe who intends to exterminate them. If they are to avoid extinction they will need to muster all their skills and talents to ensure their continued existence. This is the incredibly true story of the Shinobi Ninjas of Iga and their extraordinary rise to become an irreplaceable force in the Japanese war machine.Interview With the AuthorQ - So, what makes your new series, Most Fierce Ruthless Warriors That Shaped History, special?A - Honestly, it is a mix of things. I love diving deep into history and the lesser known stories of those who shaped history. I'm not referring to the popular historical figures like Genghis Kahn, Alexander the Great, Charlemagne, or Julius Caesar. I mean the history regarding them is awesome stuff but this series makes a conscious effort to go beyond the typical textbook history.In this series you get Ancient Assassins and the birth of terrorism, ancient Germanic Ghost Warriors and Rome's greatest defeat, Viking Berserkers and the invasion of England, and Viking Varangian Guard in the Byzantine Empire. We even cover the great Eagle Warriors of the Aztec Empire and Kamehameha's Hawaiian Koa warriors, two cultures that were forced to face overwhelming odds when they encountered European forces for the first time. The history is fascinating; it goes into depth regarding how the cultures viewed the Europeans as gods and the recorded omens in their history that foretold the arrival of these strange forces. This series tells the histories of the greatest and most elite warriors throughout the world and history.Q - What order should I read the series in?A - Well that's another awesome part of this series. Each one stands independently. I did this so my readers could pick and choose the stories that interest them most or they can buy the entire volume and get all five stories for considerably less than purchasing them individually. However, two of the stories are connected even though they can both be read independently. The historical tales on the Varangian Guard and the Viking Berserkers respectively both evolve around Harald Hardrada. In this case they should be read in their respective order if the reader chooses to purchase both. But it is laid out in Volume 1 with that in mind.Q - So why should readers give your books a go?A - Simply put they're exciting reads. Most are short reads, 30-40 pages, and they are written in the present tense. As you read these books you really feel as though you're there watching the Shinobi appear from the fog and attack the Samurai, or the Germanic Ghost Warrior appear from the darkness and strike into the Roman legions, or feel the true terror that the Christian monks felt right before they were slaughtered by the Viking Berserkers. History is my passion and that translates in my writing. I want my readers to thoroughly enjoy learning about history so I give it to them in a thrilling and exciting read. I don't bog them down with trivial information. I give them the historical facts presented in an awesome telling of history.

Who says women don’t go to war? From Vikings and African queens to cross-dressing military doctors and WWII Russian fighter pilots, these are the stories of women for whom battle was not a metaphor. The woman warrior is always cast as an anomaly—Joan of Arc, not GI Jane. But women, it turns out, have always gone to war. In this fascinating and lively world history, Pamela Toler not only introduces us to women who took up arms, she also shows why they did it and what happened when they stepped out of their traditional female roles to take on other identities. These are the stories of women who fought because they wanted to, because they had to, or because they could. Among the warriors you’ll meet are: * Tomyris, ruler of the Massagetae, who killed Cyrus the Great of Persia when he sought to invade her lands * The West African ruler Amina of Hausa, who led her warriors in a campaign of territorial expansion for more than 30 years * Boudica, who led the Celtic tribes of Britain into a massive rebellion against the Roman Empire to avenge the rapes of her daughters * The Trung sisters, Trung Trac and Trung Nhi, who led an untrained army of 80,000 troops to drive the Chinese empire out of Vietnam * The Joshigun, a group of 30 combat-trained Japanese women who fought against the forces of the Meiji emperor in the late 19th century * Lakshmi Bai, Rani of Jhansi, who was regarded as the “bravest and best” military leader in the 1857 Indian Mutiny against British rule * Maria Bochkareva, who commanded Russia’s first all-female battalion—the First Women’s Battalion of Death—during WWII * Buffalo Calf Road Woman, the Cheyenne warrior who knocked General Custer off his horse at the Battle of Little Bighorn * Juana Azurduy de Padilla, a mestiza warrior who fought in at least 16 major battles against colonizers of Latin America and who is a national hero in Bolivia and Argentina today * And many more spanning from ancient times through the 20th century. By considering the ways in which their presence has been erased from history, Toler reveals that women have always fought—not in spite of being women but because they are women.
