A masterful book written by a master historian.\" --Bettany Hughes, bestselling author, Istanbul and Helen of Troy This is the riveting, definitive account of the ancient Greek city of Thebes, by the acclaimed author of The Spartans. Among the extensive writing available about the history of ancient Greece, there is precious little about the city-state of Thebes. At one point the most powerful city in ancient Greece, Thebes has been long overshadowed by its better-known rivals, Athens and Sparta. In Thebes: The Forgotten City of Ancient Greece, acclaimed classicist and historian Paul Cartledge brings the city vividly to life and argues that it is central to our understanding of the ancient Greeks' achievements--whether politically or culturally--and thus to the wider politico-cultural traditions of western Europe, the Americas, and indeed the world. Chapters include: City of Myth: The Theban Cycle City of Prehistory and Protohistory: Archaeology, the Linear B Tablets, and Homer Religion Politics Foreign Affairs City of Song: Pindar and Athenian Tragedy The Peloponnesian and Corinthian Wars From its role as an ancient political power, to its destruction at the hands of Alexander the Great as punishment for a failed revolt, to its eventual restoration by Alexander's successor, Cartledge deftly chronicles the rise and fall of the ancient city. He recounts the history with deep clarity and mastery of the subject and makes clear both the differences and the interconnections between the Thebes of myth and the Thebes of history. Written in clear prose, Thebes is a gripping read for students of ancient history and those looking to experience the real city behind the myths of Cadmus, Hercules, and Oedipus.",2020,"en","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx7czk8hvcrzvh9gsyzffywp.jpg?v=c9530eeafa","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks-3d\u002F01\u002F01kx7czk824v57prsfyqr0er5a.png?v=bd53aa5236","LLFO=S-oD*-;~pWBjZ-;4:9Gt6-:",0,320,364,"complete",false,true,[21],{"id":22,"slug":23,"name":24,"role":25,"bio":7},"01kx7czk8dxf53y2be5n26e2w0","paul-cartledge-qnbq","Paul Cartledge","author",[27,31,35,39],{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":19},57,"Military","military",{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":18},70,"History","history",{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":18},90,"Ancient History","ancient-history",{"id":40,"name":41,"slug":42,"is_fiction":18},91,"Military History","military-history",[],[],[46,50,53,56,59,62],{"id":47,"name":48,"type":49},"01kjrb3419rg1gqmz4bhjr0zs7","Ancient","subject",{"id":51,"name":52,"type":49},"01kjy2vtnfnbybfetedx9c48ma","Greece",{"id":54,"name":55,"type":49},"01kjqvb26atk2dkvj3c52zrd9m","Rome",{"id":57,"name":58,"type":49},"01kjq6y965j715pwk2hmhec28n","Civilization",{"id":60,"name":61,"type":49},"01kjq85ygjtr2mx7jkakfc44y2","Europe",{"id":63,"name":64,"type":49},"01ks61d47ev2za6s7xc7cz28xd","Ancient & Classical History",[],[67,79],{"id":68,"title":69,"edition_name":7,"format":70,"format_label":71,"page_count":72,"audio_duration_minutes":7,"narrator":7,"publish_date":73,"cover_url":74,"cover_blurhash":7,"isbn_13":75,"asin":7,"publisher":76,"language":10,"quality_score":77,"submission_status":78},"01kx7czk8qh3kx7amqb6r6chh2","Thebes","kindle","Kindle",336,"2020-09-22","https:\u002F\u002Fimages.isbndb.com\u002Fcovers\u002F21469803482710.jpg","9781468316070","Open Road Integrated Media, Inc.",10,"approved",{"id":80,"title":6,"edition_name":7,"format":81,"format_label":82,"page_count":83,"audio_duration_minutes":7,"narrator":7,"publish_date":84,"cover_url":11,"cover_blurhash":13,"isbn_13":85,"asin":7,"publisher":86,"language":10,"quality_score":77,"submission_status":78},"01kx7czk8hvcrzvh9gsyzffywp","hardcover","Hardcover",304,"2020","9781468316063","Abrams",{"summary":7,"pace":88,"complexity":89,"complexity_score":90,"audience":91,"mood":92,"themes":95,"setting_period":7,"content_warnings":96},"moderate","dense",7,"adult",[93,94],"informative","thought-provoking",[],[],{"id":80,"title":6,"edition_name":7,"format":81,"format_label":82,"page_count":83,"audio_duration_minutes":7,"publish_date":84,"cover_url":11,"cover_blurhash":13,"isbn_13":85,"asin":7,"publisher":86,"language":10},[],"2026-07-11T01:34:29.000000Z",[101,139,171,197,221,264,298,322,347,372],{"id":102,"slug":103,"title":104,"description":105,"primary_cover_url":106,"cover_blurhash":107,"first_publish_year":108,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":15,"authors":109,"genres":114,"series":126,"enrichment":131},"01kx6nzgbjv1bgy1bqe0wm8ce2","storm-of-steel-xwbf","Storm of Steel","Ernst Jünger's first-person memoir of his service as a German officer on the Western Front, December 1914 to August 1918, drawn from his wartime diary.

The century since the end of the Napoleonic wars had been the most peaceful era Europe had known since the fall of the Roman Empire. In the first years of the twentieth century, Europe believed it was marching to a golden, happy, and prosperous future. But instead, complex personalities and rivalries, colonialism and ethnic nationalisms, and shifting alliances helped to bring about the failure of the long peace and the outbreak of a war that transformed Europe and the world. The War That Ended Peace brings vividly to life the military leaders, politicians, diplomats, bankers, and the extended, interrelated family of crowned heads across Europe who failed to stop the descent into war: in Germany, the mercurial Kaiser Wilhelm II and the chief of the German general staff, Von Moltke the Younger; in Austria-Hungary, Emperor Franz Joseph, a man who tried, through sheer hard work, to stave off the coming chaos in his empire; in Russia, Tsar Nicholas II and his wife; in Britain, King Edward VII, Prime Minister Herbert Asquith, and British admiral Jacky Fisher, the fierce advocate of naval reform who entered into the arms race with Germany that pushed the continent toward confrontation on land and sea. There are the would-be peacemakers as well, among them prophets of the horrors of future wars whose warnings went unheeded: Alfred Nobel, who donated his fortune to the cause of international understanding, and Bertha von Suttner, a writer and activist who was the first woman awarded Nobel's new Peace Prize. Here too we meet the urbane and cosmopolitan Count Harry Kessler, who noticed many of the early signs that something was stirring in Europe; the young Winston Churchill, then First Lord of the Admiralty and a rising figure in British politics; Madame Caillaux, who shot a man who might have been a force for peace; and more. With indelible portraits, MacMillan shows how the fateful decisions of a few powerful people changed the course of history. MacMillan's central argument is that the outbreak of the First World War was not a foregone conclusion, but the outcome of specific choices and failures by Europe's leaders. - Publisher.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx6nz609ka92ydt7r6ckbpr8.jpg?v=d1a50c8930","LFIhNr~qt7%2nlNH~WIVx]SN^kE1",2013,762,[207],{"id":208,"slug":209,"name":210},"01kx6nz5zwf7gzakjh7byz8vvg","margaret-olwen-macmillan-kiyd","Margaret Olwen Macmillan",[212,213,214,215],{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":19},{"id":121,"name":122,"slug":123,"is_fiction":19},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":18},{"id":40,"name":41,"slug":42,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":88,"complexity":7,"audience":91,"mood":218,"themes":219,"setting_period":7,"summary":220,"content_warnings":7},[93,94],[],"A narrative history of Europe from 1900 to the outbreak of World War I, tracing how the continent's longest era of peace since the Roman Empire collapsed into catastrophe.

He believed that to achieve his goal he must do something spectacular on the battlefield. Despite deliberately putting himself in extreme danger as a British Army officer in colonial wars in India and Sudan, and as a journalist covering a Cuban uprising against the Spanish, glory and fame had eluded him. Churchill arrived in South Africa in 1899, valet and crates of vintage wine in tow, there to cover the brutal colonial war the British were fighting with Boer rebels. But just two weeks after his arrival, the soldiers he was accompanying on an armored train were ambushed, and Churchill was taken prisoner. Remarkably, he pulled off a daring escape--but then had to traverse hundreds of miles of enemy territory, alone, with nothing but a crumpled wad of cash, four slabs of chocolate, and his wits to guide him. The story of his escape is incredible enough, but then Churchill enlisted, returned to South Africa, fought in several battles, and ultimately liberated the men with whom he had been imprisoned. Churchill would later remark that this period, \"could I have seen my future, was to lay the foundations of my later life.\" Millard spins an epic story of bravery, savagery, and chance encounters with a cast of historical characters—including Rudyard Kipling, Lord Kitchener, and Mohandas Gandhi—with whom he would later share the world stage. But Hero of the Empire is more than an adventure story, for the lessons Churchill took from the Boer War would profoundly affect 20th century history.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx7e8r4nffgk40fetq09ajn9.jpg?v=9db809f527","LjM?^.t7t6of~oj[oekB?uWCj@j[",2016,206,[332],{"id":333,"slug":334,"name":335},"01kk1y8s9pmvbw2ap0m22m32pd","candice-millard-3jiw","Candice Millard",[337,338,339,340,341],{"id":156,"name":157,"slug":158,"is_fiction":18},{"id":40,"name":41,"slug":42,"is_fiction":18},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":18},{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":19},{"id":254,"name":255,"slug":256,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":193,"complexity":7,"audience":91,"mood":344,"themes":346,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[345,195],"adventurous",[],{"id":348,"slug":349,"title":350,"description":351,"primary_cover_url":352,"cover_blurhash":353,"first_publish_year":354,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":355,"authors":356,"genres":361,"series":366,"enrichment":367},"01kx6pbeg9t46zqya04psy9gnh","the-zimmermann-telegram-csxm","The Zimmermann telegram","In January 1917, British code-breakers in the secret Room 40 office intercepted a telegram from German Foreign Secretary Arthur Zimmermann to his ambassador in Mexico. It proposed a wartime alliance: if the United States entered the war against Germany, Mexico should join Germany and Japan against America, with Germany's help in reclaiming Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona.\n\nBarbara Tuchman traces how Britain's codebreakers deciphered the message, and the delicate problem of how to hand it to Washington without revealing that Germany's codes had been broken. She sets the telegram against the wider background of the German high command's decision to resume unrestricted submarine warfare, Woodrow Wilson's strained neutrality, and the unstable state of U.S.-Mexico relations during the Mexican Revolution.\n\nWhen the telegram's contents reached the American press in early 1917, public opinion shifted decisively, and Congress moved toward a declaration of war against Germany within weeks. Tuchman's account follows the intelligence operation from interception to publication and its role in bringing the United States into the First World War.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx6pbejgpwp8ce20fs9je553.jpg?v=b672611afb","LZ9viaQ=j=bY*DkAV[kAM#pEjIj[",1979,243,[357],{"id":358,"slug":359,"name":360},"01kjt6zfmb7a5hd7c3jjzgqvb3","barbara-tuchman-6fib","Barbara Tuchman",[362,363,364,365],{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":19},{"id":121,"name":122,"slug":123,"is_fiction":19},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":18},{"id":40,"name":41,"slug":42,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":88,"complexity":7,"audience":91,"mood":368,"themes":370,"setting_period":7,"summary":371,"content_warnings":7},[93,195,369],"intellectual",[],"A history of the intercepted 1917 telegram in which Germany proposed a military alliance with Mexico against the United States — and how its exposure helped draw America into World War I.",{"id":373,"slug":374,"title":375,"description":376,"primary_cover_url":377,"cover_blurhash":378,"first_publish_year":379,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":380,"authors":381,"genres":386,"series":399,"enrichment":400},"01kkc93de1m321gxdv7dwj5n3s","pity-the-nation-kmxv","Pity the Nation","Robert Fisk, a veteran journalist, offers an unflinching look at the devastating Lebanese conflict spanning over two decades.

A conflict of unprecedented ferocity, it abruptly ended the relative peace and prosperity of the Victorian era, unleashing such demons of the twentieth century as mechanized warfare and mass death. It also helped to usher in the ideas that have shaped our times--modernism in the arts, new approaches to psychology and medicine, radical thoughts about economics and society--and in so doing shattered the faith in rationalism and liberalism that had prevailed in Europe since the Enlightenment. With The First World War, John Keegan, one of our most eminent military historians, fulfills a lifelong ambition to write the definitive account of the Great War for our generation. Probing the mystery of how a civilization at the height of its achievement could have propelled itself into such a ruinous conflict, Keegan takes us behind the scenes of the negotiations among Europe's crowned heads (all of them related to one another by blood) and ministers, and their doomed efforts to defuse the crisis. He reveals how, by an astonishing failure of diplomacy and communication, a bilateral dispute grew to engulf an entire continent. But the heart of Keegan's superb narrative is, of course, his analysis of the military conflict. With unequalled authority and insight, he recreates the nightmarish engagements whose names have become legend--Verdun, the Somme and Gallipoli among them--and sheds new light on the strategies and tactics employed, particularly the contributions of geography and technology. No less central to Keegan's account is the human aspect. He acquaints us with the thoughts of the intriguing personalities who oversaw the tragically unnecessary catastrophe--from heads of state like Russia's hapless tsar, Nicholas II, to renowned warmakers such as Haig, Hindenburg and Joffre. But Keegan reserves his most affecting personal sympathy for those whose individual efforts history has not recorded--\"the anonymous millions, indistinguishably drab, undifferentially deprived of any scrap of the glories that by tradition made the life of the man-at-arms tolerable.\" By the end of the war, three great empires--the Austro-Hungarian, the Russian and the Ottoman--had collapsed. But as Keegan shows, the devastation ex-tended over the entirety of Europe, and still profoundly informs the politics and culture of the continent today. His brilliant, panoramic account of this vast and terrible conflict is destined to take its place among the classics of world history.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks\u002F01\u002F01kx6pa0fy2z5h4jewrhsmzd58.jpg?v=8fe3a6cc60","LxJa+TRjWCj@_Noef5fQRka}j[az",1998,475,[444],{"id":445,"slug":446,"name":447},"01kjz5gcph7kb7g8ry3acfae4f","john-keegan-llsa","John Keegan",[449,450,451,452],{"id":285,"name":286,"slug":287,"is_fiction":19},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":18},{"id":40,"name":41,"slug":42,"is_fiction":18},{"id":121,"name":122,"slug":123,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":88,"complexity":7,"audience":91,"mood":455,"themes":456,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[93,135,94],[],{"id":458,"slug":459,"title":460,"description":461,"primary_cover_url":462,"cover_blurhash":463,"first_publish_year":464,"community_rating_avg":465,"community_rating_count":466,"page_count":467,"authors":468,"genres":473,"series":476,"enrichment":477},"01kx6nra3b2ja4y4ybvqtvjqvg","six-days-of-war-tw25","Six Days of War","In June 1967, a series of escalations between Israel and its Arab neighbors culminated in one of the fastest and most decisive military campaigns in modern history — the Six-Day War.

As the true horrors of the Third Reich began to be exposed immediately after World War II, the Nazi war criminals who committed genocide went on the run. A few were swiftly caught, including the notorious SS leader, Heinrich Himmler. Others, however, evaded capture through a sophisticated Nazi organization designed to hide them. Among those war criminals were Josef Mengele, the \"Angel of Death\" who performed hideous medical experiments at Auschwitz; Martin Bormann, Hitler's brutal personal secretary; Klaus Barbie, the cruel \"Butcher of Lyon\"; and perhaps the most awful Nazi of all: Adolf Eichmann. Killing the SS is the epic saga of the espionage and daring waged by self-styled \"Nazi hunters.\" This determined and disparate group included a French husband and wife team, an American lawyer who served in the army on D-Day, a German prosecutor who had signed an oath to the Nazi Party, Israeli Mossad agents, and a death camp survivor.

Lutheran minister Henry Gerecke was fifty years old when he enlisted as am Army chaplain during World War II. As two of his three sons faced danger and death on the battlefield, Gerecke tended to the battered bodies and souls of wounded and dying GIs outside London. At the war's end, when other soldiers were coming home, Gerecke was recruited for the most difficult engagement of his life: ministering to the twenty-one Nazis leaders awaiting trial at Nuremburg. Based on scrupulous research and first-hand accounts, including interviews with still-living participants and featuring sixteen pages of black-and-white photos, Mission at Nuremberg takes us inside the Nuremburg Palace of Justice, into the cells of the accused and the courtroom where they faced their crimes. As the drama leading to the court's final judgments unfolds, Tim Townsend brings to life the developing relationship between Gerecke and Hermann Georing, Albert Speer, Wilhelm Keitel, Joachim von Ribbentrop, and other imprisoned Nazis as they awaited trial. Powerful and harrowing, Mission at Nuremberg offers a fresh look at one most horrifying times in human history, probing difficult spiritual and ethical issues that continue to hold meaning, forcing us to confront the ultimate moral question: Are some men so evil they are beyond redemption?","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx7gr20y6px7ys327t9f6vq5.jpg?v=b7194986e5","LxKwqQbHofaz~pofs:j[M{oLoLoe",2014,"5.00",402,[642],{"id":643,"slug":644,"name":645},"01kx7gr20h03pfh6mxrc2f5085","tim-townsend-zgrq","Tim Townsend",[647,648],{"id":156,"name":157,"slug":158,"is_fiction":18},{"id":40,"name":41,"slug":42,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":88,"complexity":7,"audience":91,"mood":651,"themes":652,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[135,195],[],{"id":654,"slug":655,"title":656,"description":657,"primary_cover_url":658,"cover_blurhash":659,"first_publish_year":177,"community_rating_avg":660,"community_rating_count":466,"page_count":661,"authors":662,"genres":671,"series":685,"enrichment":686},"01kjr37ar04n3ev8epzkd6tsj4","make-your-bed-qsda","Make Your Bed","Admiral William H.
