The Art of War in Italy 1494–1529

The Art of War in Italy 1494–1529

Frederick Lewis Taylor

First published in 1921, this book examines the changes in styles of warfare between the medieval period and the Renaissance. Frederick Lewis Taylor links the transformations in intellectual and cultural life in this period with contemporary military innovations. His discussion focuses on the Italian wars between Spain, France and the Netherlands between 1494 and 1529, both because the aggression of competing states in a small area led to frequent wars, and because the influence of the Renaissance was strongest in its birthplace, the Italian peninsula. Taylor traces the stages in the development in all aspects of military operations, and also investigates the development of a theoretical study of war. His work remains one of the most complete reviews in English of the Italian wars of this period, and explains the origins of the style of warfare which would dominate Europe in the following centuries.
Falsifiers of History: An Historical Document on the Origins of World War II
""Falsifiers of History: An Historical Document on the Origins of World War II"" is a book written by Frederick Lewis Schuman. The book is a detailed analysis of the events that led to the outbreak of World War II. Schuman argues that the war was not caused by any one nation or leader, but rather by a complex web of political, economic, and social factors that had been building for decades.The book begins with an examination of the Treaty of Versailles and the impact it had on Germany. Schuman argues that the treaty was too harsh and that it created a sense of resentment and anger among the German people. He goes on to analyze the rise of Hitler and the Nazi Party, and how they were able to exploit this anger to gain power.Schuman also looks at the role of the other major powers in Europe, including France, Britain, and the Soviet Union. He argues that their policies and actions contributed to the tensions that led to the outbreak of war.Throughout the book, Schuman exposes the many myths and falsehoods that have been perpetuated about the origins of World War II. He argues that these myths have been used to justify wars and other acts of aggression, and that it is important to understand the true causes of the war in order to prevent similar conflicts from occurring in the future.Overall, ""Falsifiers of History"" is a meticulously researched and thought-provoking book that offers a new perspective on the origins of World War II. It is a must-read for anyone interested in history, politics, or international relations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

I found this doctoral thesis in the US Library of Congress. Weis presented it to the Facult de Th ologie protestante de l'Universit de Strasbourg in 1929. Weis opens his preface, "No sympathetic life of Ludwig Hetzer has heretofore been written." He quotes Hetzer: "Oh God, my Father, grant us fearless prophets: Open my mouth and I will unflinchingly speak thy truth " That Hetzer, husband and father of two sons, at age 29 was beheaded for speaking what he believed was the truth certainly deserves our sympathy. Weis includes a chronology, bibliography, appendix, and hymns in the original German and translated into English.

The Surrender of Napoleon tells the true story of how the legendary French emperor surrendered to the British on HMS Bellerophon and the events between 24 May and 8 August 1815. While HMS Bellerophon was stationed off Rochefort in the Bay of Biscay observing French warships in the harbour, Napoleon has been defeated at the Battle of Waterloo. News had reached Rear Admiral Sir Frederick Lewis Maitland on 28 June that Napoleon was planning an escape to America from the French Atlantic coast, possible from Bordeaux. Believing that Rochefort was the more likely point of escape, Maitland also sent two ships to cover the ports of Bordeaux and Arcachon. With HMS Superb and a string of British frigates, corvettes and brigs watching the coast, there was no escape for Napoleon. Maitland's instincts proved correct and Napoleon arrived at Rochefort in early July. Finding escape barred by the patrolling HMS Bellerophon and unable to remain in France, he authorised the opening of negotiations with the commander of the British warship off the coast. Maitland refused the request to allow Napoleon to sail for America, but offered to take him to England. The negotiations went on for four days, but eventually Napoleon acquiesced. He embarked on 15 July with his staff and servants where he surrendered to Maitland. Maitland placed his cabin at the former emperor's disposal and sailed for England. She reached Torbay on 24 July, but was ordered to Plymouth, while a decision was made by the government over Napoleon's fate. She sailed again on 4 August and while off Berry Head on 7 August, Napoleon and his staff were removed to HMS Northumberland, which conveyed him to his final exile on Saint Helena. The Surrender of Napoleon is Maitland's detailed and stunning narrative of the French emperors time on HMS Bellerophon, which he originally published in 1826.
