About This Novel
Throughout the history of the development of world civilization, the birth and development of civilizations are always accompanied by frequent and fierce wars. The current world structure was born out of thousands of years of long-term games and contests between the East and the West. The first volume of this book will go back to the beginning of it all, recreate the two-hundred-year-old epic battle between the Persian Empire and the Greek world, write about the rise and fall of the Republic of Carthage, and narrate the collision of civilizations and military confrontations in the three continents of Asia, Europe, and Africa. From 1095 to 1291, under the call of the Pope, a group of fanatical Christians launched eight expeditions in the past two hundred years in an attempt to regain the Holy Land Jerusalem, which had a profound impact on the Eastern and Western worlds. From 1219 to 1260, the powerful Mongols conducted three large-scale western expeditions in more than 40 years and established an unprecedentedly large empire. The second volume of this book passionately tells the story of this series of conquest wars that took place on the Eurasian continent in the Middle Ages. The American continent, this ancient, rich and mysterious land, once gave birth to three ancient civilizations: the Aztec civilization, the Inca civilization, and the Mayan civilization. At the end of the 15th century, when the Spanish launched the Age of Discovery and connected the old and new worlds, a thrilling history of conquest of the Americas began. The third volume of this book uses relaxed yet rigorous language to lay out the nearly three hundred years of the American continent from 1492 to 1776, from discovery to destruction and then to rebirth, recording the difficult choices made by the pioneers at the crossroads of destiny. Behind each "great decision", the giant wheel of the times is rolling forward... The fourth volume of this book provides a panoramic description of the U. S.-Japanese Pacific War, which is famous in the history of world wars, and vividly restores a fight and destruction of desire. This book combines the writing vision of "big history" with vivid and detailed descriptions, restoring the historical scene that rewrote the world order. In this war-torn ocean, the age of empire has finally come to an end, and the dawn of modern civilization has risen.
