High in the mountains in the middle of France's southern massif stands a small group of remote villages united by a long and unique history. During the Nazi occupation, residents of the plateau rescued thousands of people from concentration camps. As victims of Nazi persecution (Resisters, Freemasons, Communists and Jews, many of them children) arrived in large numbers, the inhabitants of these villages rallied to keep them safe. Carolyn Moorhead sought out and interviewed many of the people involved in this extraordinary undertaking. This is a story of courage and determination, of a heroic few who risk their lives to save others, and of what can be done when people unite against tyranny.

Wilhelm von Habsburg was both an imperial prince wearing the collar of the Order of the Golden Fleece and a red prince wearing armor. The fall of the Habsburg Monarchy in World War I shattered his dream of establishing the Kingdom of Ukraine. Since then, he has changed his identity many times: he was an associate of the German imperialists, he was a notorious lover of France, he was an angry Austrian monarchist, he was an opponent of Hitler who looked on with cold eyes, and finally he became a desperate supporter of Ukrainian independence. William's ups and downs life demonstrated the fluidity of personal identity and the diversity of national identities, and reflected the historical truth and political reality of the rise of European nation-states.

The 24-year-old Churchill was convinced that it was his destiny to become the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, but at this time he suffered a defeat in the election. He believes that to achieve goals, one must make a difference on the battlefield, and military medals are the safest and fastest way to win recognition and success. In 1899, Churchill arrived in South Africa, where he participated in the Boer War (a war between the British and the Boers for the South African colony). However, two weeks later, Churchill became a prisoner of war and was locked up in a prisoner of war camp in Pretoria. What follows is an astonishingly brave escape.

Traveling back to the twelfth year of Hongwu, I became Zhu Xiongying. Every day Zhu Xiongying has to ask himself: Did you make Lao Zhu faint today? No? Then hurry up! First time: "Grandpa, if the imperial treasury is short of money in the future, we can directly confiscate the homes of those princes and uncles!" After hearing this, Lao Zhu fainted with a bang! Zhu Biao: "Nizi, are you talking humanly?" Second time: "Grandpa, I have nine ways to punish corrupt officials!" Lao Zhu: "Stop it, please let us slow down first, don't say anything else, or we will be mad at you again!" Zhu Biao: "Nizi, what are you going to do again!" The third time: "Grandma, my grandfather is going to attack Hu Weiyong. You let all the family members of those people enter the palace, don't let any of them go, and eradicate the roots!" Queen Ma: "Grandson, what are you going to do?" Zhu Biao: "Sir, shut up!" The fourth time: "Mom, please stay calm and don't be embarrassed. The Lu family is going to kill you, so don't be polite to their family!" Crown Princess Chang: "Son, I listen to you!" Zhu Biao: "The treasonous son, the treasonous son, the treasonous son..."

"They say people need to take medicine when they are sick, but today if they are sick, they have to eat people!" Zhang Jiuning gained the ability to manifest white porridge, and thought that his experience of traveling to the Han Dynasty would be a cool article. However, when the bones were exposed and the scene of starving people everywhere was vividly displayed in front of him. For the sake of military exploits, the officers and soldiers aimed their long knives at the Han people, which should have been aimed at the Hu people. Only then did he understand what a troubled world is! In the city of Luoyang, there are wine ponds, meat forests, drunken gold houses, and the wealthy families are still singing and dancing. People outside Luoyang eat each other's ghosts and cry at night, and the common people are left with bones everywhere! The shriveled old beans fell gently into the pot, exuding the smell of old beans. But the sticky white porridge then appeared, igniting the sparks in the eyes of the victims! "I had no intention of creating troubled times, I just wanted to bring peace to the common people." "But why are all the officials standing alone in the temple, and no one is willing to look back and look at the suffering of all living beings!" "In that case, you are willing to join me as a concubine in Jiuzhou and regret the royal court of one family!" "Only when the Heavenly Street tramples all the bones of the princes, will the path to eternal life be revealed to all the people!" "The sky is dead, the yellow sky should be established, and the age of Jiazi will bring good luck to the world!" "The poor man Zhang Jiuning, please die!"

Engineer Zhu Biao traveled back to Zhu Biao, the first prince of the Ming Dynasty, who had only six hours left to live. When he woke up, he found that he was bound to a "bad luck system". All kinds of bad luck happened randomly to the people around him, with varying degrees of severity, such as the palace maid who walked with sprained legs, the eunuch who choked on her drinking water... After the first round of bad luck struck indiscriminately, Zhu Biao found that this system seemed to have a better effect on the "villains" he knew. As a result, he began to consciously use the system to protect himself, contain Zhu Di, reform the ancestral system, and expand territory...

Zhang Mu accidentally received a special channel that allowed him to travel freely between the late Eastern Han Dynasty and modern times. He originally planned to be a second-rate dealer, and after becoming rich, he would join the Cao Wei Group to accelerate the unification of the country, eliminate the barbarians in the north as soon as possible, and become a civil servant whose name will be passed down through the ages. Mrs. Gan, Adou's biological mother who never thought about taking a concubine in the future, opened the divine book. "Wedding candles in the bridal chamber with Ganmei activates the character catalogue." "Activation abilities: Face as good as jade (increased appearance and charm), courteous and virtuous corporal (increased affinity), knowing people well (improved work ability of subordinates)!" "Wedding candles in the bridal chamber with Diaochan activates the character catalogue." "Reward abilities: Lu Bu's martial arts, the ability to recognize people Ming, kind and cheerful." Seeing that he was getting stronger, with more and more subordinates, and the territory was getting bigger and bigger, and there were Cai Yan, Diao Chan, Xiao Qiao, and Zhen Ji waiting for him in the harem, Zhang Mu sighed helplessly: "Old Cao, I originally just wanted to be a rich man, but the book of gods doesn't allow it."

Time travel to Fusu, the eldest son of Ying Zheng, the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty. He originally wanted to keep a low profile and avoid trouble and be a stable son - after all, he knew that in history, he would anger the First Emperor and be sent to Shangjun. In the end, he would not be able to escape the death edict forged by Zhao Gao and Li Si. Therefore, he secretly contacted Meng Tian's old troops, gathered the talents of Guandong, and secretly reserved strength, planning to take advantage of the situation to rebel against the First Emperor in the future, seize the supreme imperial power, personally rewrite the short-lived outcome of the Qin Dynasty, and become an emperor who will leave his name in history. But in the thirty-second year of the First Emperor, on the day when Meng Tian drove the Huns from the north and regained Henan, the sky suddenly appeared! In the end, Fusu's intention to rebel and seize the throne was clearly exposed by Tianmu. [The person standing in front of you now is my amazingly talented great father - the founder of the Dragon Banner of the Great Qin Dynasty, the emperor of Hengchang who drove the barbarians to the north, the talker of the world, and the emperor of Hengchang who made Qin law spread throughout Europe and Asia! Fusu! .. I! Ying Zheng! The First Emperor of Qin! Suddenly one day, Tianmu appeared out of thin air and told the world that he would introduce the "Eternal Emperor". He also said that this emperor of the ages was born in the Qin Dynasty, defeated the Xiongnu, and established the world. I was so happy when I heard it - isn't this what I am talking about? But what's the result? This so-called "Eternal Emperor" is actually my family's seemingly docile eldest son Fusu? ! And he actually had to rebel against me in order to sit on the throne? ! The First Emperor was at a loss: Who can tell me what I should do?

The imperial examination questions were leaked! Ye Xuan, who knew that Lao Zhu was ruthless, knew that he would definitely die, so he could only save himself by taking out the things from the bottom of the box and changing the test questions again! Question 1: Land annexation is a problem that has been difficult to solve in the past dynasties. Please propose a more perfect solution based on the [one whip method] and [dividing a small amount into an acre].

Please propose a more perfect system based on the [cabinet system] and [military department system].

Zhu Zaihen traveled through the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, became the prince of the current dynasty, and activated the [National Fortune System of the Ming Dynasty]. As long as the long-standing shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty are solved and the national power is improved, he can obtain the national fortune value, exchange for rewards, and even become immortal and live forever. But the problem is that Zhu Zaihan is just an ordinary person who doesn't know how to govern a country, let alone the ability to govern a country. So Zhu Zaihen turned his attention to his father, Emperor Jiajing. I heard that you are a born political genius and a Machiavellian thief. You are also addicted to cultivating immortals and want to live forever? Behave well and govern the country well, and I will teach you the Qi refining method to make you immortal! Jiajing: I haven't slept for three days and three nights. The problem of flooding in the Yellow River should be solved in two days. Zhu Zaihan: The immortal master told me that if we can solve the problem of flooding in the Yellow River, I can teach you the immortal method and extend my life by ten years. Jiajing: I'm not sleepy at all. Let alone three days and three nights, it's no problem if I don't sleep for a month. The Yellow River flood problem will be solved immediately! .... Jiajing: The vassal policy was formulated by Emperor Taizu. It is difficult to change, and the resistance faced is too great. Zhu Zaihen: The immortal master told me that if I can solve the problem of the vassal king, I can teach you the immortal method and extend my life by fifty years. Jiajing: Our Ming Dynasty only had Emperor Chengzu, what kind of Taizu? Don't know me! The problem of the vassal kings can be solved, and it's all up to me. I must make clear arrangements for these vassal kings! ...

AD 1120, the second year of Xuanhe in the Song Dynasty, the second year of Yuande in the Xixia Dynasty, the tenth year of Tianqing in the Liao Dynasty, and the fourth year of Tianfu in the Jin Dynasty. Taizu of the Jin Dynasty led his troops to attack the Liao Dynasty. The Song envoy Zhao Liangsi accompanied him and went to the capital to defeat him. Emperor Tianzuo of the Liao Dynasty fled to Xijing. Jin Tun Liao's territory has reached more than half, and he is still secretly eyeing Song Dynasty. This year, there were less than seven years left before the Jin army went south to besiege Bianjing in 1127 and kidnapped the humiliation of Jingkang, the two emperors of Hui and Qin. At that time, the loyal minister Li Gang was disgusted by Zhao Guan's family because he had to pay attention to internal and external troubles. He was demoted to the tax supervisor of Sha County, Nanjianzhou. Zongze, a future Confucian general who retired from old age and returned to his hometown, was falsely accused of despising the Taoism believed by officials and was sent to Zhenjiang to work as a clerk. Han Shizhong, the enemy of thousands of people, is still just a small general. Yue Fei, who was born with supernatural powers, is only seventeen years old and has not yet been drafted into the army... At this time, Song's taxes were heavy, there were rogue bandits such as Song Jiang in the north, and Fangla's uprising in the southeast... The officials in the Northern Song Dynasty were corrupt, and the government was controlled by six thieves led by Cai Jing, which made the Song Dynasty a mess. What's more, he encouraged Emperor Zhao Ji to go secretly... When the soul of a modern man more than nine hundred years later took over the body of Zhao Ji, the eighth emperor of the Song Dynasty, Looking at the internal and external troubles of the Song Dynasty, he suddenly felt: Why is the beauty in his arms no longer fragrant? He swore and shouted from the bottom of his heart: I want to prosper the Song Dynasty and will never hunt north!

Traveling through Yongle of the Ming Dynasty, he became Zhu Gaoyun, the fourth son of Zhu Di who should have died young. The Immortal Cultivation Technique "Tai Shang Xuan Qing Dao" that I remembered from my previous life can actually be practiced! However, the spiritual energy of the world here is thin, and the road to immortality is long. Zhu Gaoyong swore to become an immortal, but he scorned the supreme throne and avoided it. But the more he retreated from the world and cultivated immortality, the more his father, Emperor Zhu Di, and his mother, Queen Xu, became attached to him, and even named him King of Wu! In order to seek purity, he repeatedly petitioned to give up the throne and become a monk. Zhu Di was furious and reprimanded him sternly, but he couldn't stand it and Zhu Gaojian continued to play every day. He even went to Queen Xu's palace to cry and act. In the end, Emperor Yongle had no choice but to give special permission to transform his Prince Wu's Mansion into a Qing Taoist temple. He became the first prince Taoist priest in the history of Ming Dynasty. In the twelfth year of Yongle, when Zhu Di returned from his personal expedition, he unexpectedly awakened the "Ming Emperor Chat Group" system! What's even more outrageous is that the leader of the group is actually [Emperor Xuanqing]? Zhu Gaojing, who was practicing meditation in the Taoist temple, was also confused. How could he, a prince who was dedicated to cultivating immortality, become a member of the group? And because of his foundation building skills, he was inexplicably elected as the leader of the group? ! Looking at the [Cowherd Boy], [Zhu Laosi], and more than a dozen emperors of later generations, Zhu Gaoding, in the group, I felt a lot of pressure. Zhu Di chased after him as soon as he joined the group. Zhu Gaoyang was quick to act in a hurry and cleverly provoked Zhu Di to face the anger of Emperor Hongwu, and was able to escape temporarily. However, what surprised him even more was that this chat group could be exchanged for immortality cultivation techniques, spiritual stones and even magic weapons? ! "The body has been trained to look like a crane, with two scriptures under a thousand pine trees."

Traveling through Hongwu for fifteen years, he became Zhu Xiongying, the eldest grandson of the emperor whom Lao Zhu loved most. As soon as I woke up, I found that I was very sick and was about to die. Fortunately, I woke up [Naughty Child Demon System]! If you don't act like a monster, you will die immediately! The bigger you make, the bigger the rewards will be! Thus, the most lawless child in the Ming Dynasty was born. Starting mission: Give Zhu Yuanzhang a big slap in the face and scold him for being ugly when he cries! Zhu Biao was frightened and fainted, and Queen Ma was frightened. Lao Zhu was ecstatic: OK! Our holy grandson has the strength to hit people! Reward! Bite! Reward sweet potatoes and corn! Become a monster again: Open the armory privately, meet the porcelain Yan King Zhu Di, and steal all the gunpowder! Zhu Di was so angry that he vomited blood, but Lao Zhu nodded: The fourth brother should suffer a little, our holy grandson did a great job! Bite! Bonus version of improved divine machine gun! The ultimate monster: bombard the imperial ancestor's mausoleum! Everyone thought the naughty kid was doomed this time. Liu Bowen held the compass and shouted: Your Majesty! Holy Sun... Holy Sun, he blasted through the stagnation of the dragon veins in the Ming Dynasty with one shot! Hearing this, Lao Zhu applauded and laughed: Well, he is indeed our great saint-grandson, reward him! As a result, Zhu Xiongying went further and further down the road of being a naughty kid and got out of hand.

"Heroing hero! Our good grandson!!" Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang cried out in tears. His eldest grandson Zhu Xiongying died young, Prince Zhu Biao was heartbroken, and the foundation of the Ming Dynasty was shaken! However, a year later - King Zhu Di of Yan and King Zhu Ju of Zhou saw "ghosts" while hunting in Zhongshan! "Fourth... Fourth brother! That... That person... Is Xiongying's eldest nephew?!" "Shut up! Xiongying is gone a long time ago!!" The extremely weird square house! From the trees and blocks that were broken but still suspended in the air, there was also the face that was exactly the same as the emperor's grandson! When the protagonist Zhu Ying casually took out a cube apple to heal Zhu Di's broken leg instantly, Zhu Di went crazy! "Demon... Demon method? No! It's a miracle!!" Cubic potatoes with a yield of 10,000 kilograms per acre? An unlimited source of water for irrigating thousands of acres of farmland with one bucket of water? ? "There are also immortal totems that can resurrect people on the spot?! These are nothing, children, have you heard of the legendary electricity generation? Iron brushing machine, villagers' trade... Everything is reliable to brush! When Zhu Yuanzhang saw the face of longing for the day and night, the iron-blooded emperor cried like a child! "God will not perish, my Ming Dynasty! Our dear grandson! You're not dead! You're not dead! ! Zhu Ying: "Thank you for the invitation. I just wore it. Grandpa Huang, please don't get too excited and help me repair this hell door first." "It's time to bring a little MC shock to Ming Dynasty. The rules of physics and Newton? Let them all die! From now on, this is a battlefield dominated by MC!

After World War II, Japan and Germany experienced varying degrees of conflicts and disputes both domestically and with their neighbors around issues of war responsibility and national apology. Looking back today, 80 years after the end of the war, Germany's attitude of reflecting on history has been generally appreciated by countries around the world, but Japan still falls into disputes of public opinion on historical issues from time to time. Why is there such a big difference between the two? As a researcher of German intellectual history who was born in post-war Japan, the author attempts to present all aspects of this issue in a simple and in-depth manner in this book. Although the postwar thoughts of Germany and Japan appear to be similar, there are also differences that cannot be ignored. This is not only due to the differences in the modern history and social and cultural backgrounds of the two countries, but also the influence of the postwar international pattern. The author starts from the differences in the victorious country's condemnation of the two countries, their understanding of war responsibilities, the post-war state form, and the post-war regional surrounding environment of the two countries. In particular, the author focuses on introducing the differences in the intellectual thoughts of the two countries and their influence on the people. This provides a comprehensive and profound perspective for us to understand the differences in attitudes between Japan and Germany on historical issues. The author also hopes that Japanese society can learn more from Germany on the basis of understanding the differences in these historical contexts in order to resolve historical issues with its East Asian neighbors.

Although World War II has passed, wars still happen every day on this earth. Japan's war era seems to be over, but as a historical legacy, has war-like thinking gone with it? Will the tragedies that happened during World War II "reappear yesterday" and happen in other corners of the world? Starting from the perspective of "individuals" in the history of war, this book focuses on the individual fate of Japanese intellectuals during World War II and the early post-war period. It goes deep into the details of history and attempts to perceive the "human condition" in the complex environment of the times. The book uses diaries, essays, literary works, etc. As the entry point to present in detail the complex positions and ideological fluctuations of people such as Nagai Karikaze, Ozaki Shiro, Hieno Hiei, Yoshino Genzaburo, Tsurumi Shunsuke, etc. Before and after the war; at the same time, it combines the works of animation master Hayao Miyazaki as a mirror of the times. Explore the war metaphors and moral issues hidden behind fairy tale narratives; on this basis, we will expand our horizons to a broader ideological and cultural level, exploring the construction of historical memory, the collision of Chinese and Japanese historical views, and the dilemma of intellectuals between "country" and "individual". The extreme logic of war still lurks in the gaps of human society. Can we learn from the ashes of that history how we should think about responsibility, choice and resistance today?

For a long time, the public has had a vague and wrong impression, that is, in Germany before World War II, the Nazis came to power with overwhelming support from the people, and Hitler also became the leader of the country through legal procedures. This recognition has even become "historical common sense" for some people. But this is not the case. In fact, the Nazi Party, which received only one-third of the votes at that time, used violence and fraud to distort the process of forming a government, and used the "emergency clause" in the Weimar Constitution to deprive citizens of basic freedoms, and only then did it gain absolute power beyond the constitution. Once the power of emergency measures is established, those in power will inevitably be tempted to abuse it. Based on historical lessons, after the war, various countries have placed heavy restrictions on the "emergency clause" to prevent its abuse. However, in recent years, the Japanese Liberal Democratic Party government has attempted to amend the constitution to add emergency clauses, which has also aroused high vigilance among Japanese intellectual circles. In this book, Kyōo Hasebe, an authority on Japanese constitutional law, and Yuji Ishida, a top scholar in the field of Nazi Germany studies, analyze this "historical common sense" from their respective professional perspectives through dialogue, clarify the true context of historical evolution, explain the restrictions on the "emergency clause" in post-war Germany and other European and American countries from the perspective of comparative law, and jointly explore in depth the dangers behind this clause. The history of the demise of the "Weimar Constitution" tells us that only by constantly maintaining vigilance against power can the daily life we ​​take for granted not suddenly disappear one day.

Tom Holland attempts to fill the gap between historical materials and rumors in the form of narrative history, helping us to open up a new path between credulity and excessive doubt to trace the history of the Julian Claudian dynasty. From Augustus, Tiberius, and Caligula to Claudius and Nero, the years the family dominated Rome were a long period of experimentation, with each emperor testing the boundaries of power. Tiberius transforms from great general to cynical hermit, Caligula rides across the sea in pursuit of pleasure, and Nero establishes himself as a tragic hero through his matricide. In "Dynasty", a painting depicting the first dynasty of Rome, Holland will look for the causes and consequences of these events, or the creative motivations behind these rumors, and vividly restore this story about domination and destruction.

The English's long and violent attempt to dismember the continent's most powerful nation created one of the most far-reaching chapters in European history. The Hundred Years' War series by Jonathan Samshin, winner of the Wolfson History Prize, explains in detail this period of history related to the national destiny of Britain and France. "Trial of Fire" takes survival as its theme and spans from 1347 to 1369. It includes magnificent war scenes such as the Battle of Poitiers and the Battle of Nachla, and also focuses on the political, economic and diplomatic affairs of Britain and France. It shows the severe test of the protracted war and political and economic crisis on the state machinery and urban and rural society. This test permanently changed the relationship between the central and local governments under the monarchy system and the operation of government power, and also promoted a new round of political integration between Britain and France.

The English's long and violent attempt to dismember the continent's most powerful nation produced one of the most profound chapters in European history. The Hundred Years' War series by Jonathan Samshin, winner of the Wolfson History Prize, explains in detail this period of history related to the national destiny of Britain and France. "The Trial of War" tells only the beginning of this legend: it began with the funeral of King Charles IV of France in 1328 and ended with the surrender of the Calais garrison in 1347. Through the Battle of Sluys, the Battle of Crecy and the Siege of Calais, Edward III gained a reputation as a great military leader. However, the great test of the true meaning of Britain and France has only just begun.

In Through the Eye of a Needle, Peter Brown, a founder of the field of late antiquity, examines the rise of the church through the lens of wealth and the challenges it posed to a system that extolled the virtues of poverty and called greed the root of all evil. Brown examines the controversies caused by the influx of new wealth into the church and changing attitudes toward wealth, drawing on the perspectives of major Christian thinkers such as Augustine; describes the growing influence of wealthy donors in a crisis-ridden empire; shows the competition between using wealth to care for the poor and old-style Roman charity; and presents ordinary people who gave money to obtain heavenly treasures.

Since the end of the Cold War, the world has become neither simpler nor more peaceful. In the splendid final volume of "General History of the West," Professor Heinrich August Winkler not only leads readers into our contemporary history, but also tells us urgently and timely what the current crisis lies.

This groundbreaking book provides a detailed reconstruction of Stalin's leadership from the outbreak of World War II until his death. Drawing on new material from Russian archives, Jeffrey Roberts challenges many of the common perceptions about Stalin: his qualities as a leader, his relationships with his own generals and with other great world leaders, his foreign policy, and his role in initiating the Cold War.

With this book, Heinrich August Winkler for the first time filled a long overdue gap in the history of the West: he painted a grand picture of world history that spanned from ancient origins to the 20th century, and he authoritatively explained the major political events that occurred here, as well as the trajectories of various political ideas. With the rare master's handwriting, Heinrich August Winkler used vivid historical narrative to clearly extract the major development context of the Western world.

In 1932, Japan was already crazy: it was supporting the puppet regime of Manchukuo, and there were constant political assassinations. It was preparing to withdraw from the League of Nations, tearing up the "Washington Treaty", and trying to dominate Asia and the Western Pacific. At this time, the United States needs to send its best diplomats to turn the tide, not only to safeguard its rights and interests in the Far East, but also to try to avoid war. On the cusp of such a storm, Ambassador Grew took office. The ten years during which Grew was sent to Japan were the ten years when the international situation in the Asia-Pacific region was changing rapidly. His personal diaries and public and private documents provide a very close observation perspective of actual diplomacy, revealing the inside story of the amazing struggles between the United States and Japan in various fields, and also showing the entire process of Japan heading towards the Pacific War.

This book traces the development history of Russian peasants from before Kievan Rus to the mid-17th century. Through the analysis of the social, economic status and political status of Russian farmers during this period, as well as the life, religion and customs of farmers in different stages, the development history of Russian farmers is expounded from the following three aspects: first, the development of Russian village communities, farmers and agriculture; second, the evolution of farmers' land ownership forms, land rent forms and their political status; third, the development process of farmers' economy, rural market and serfdom economy. It was during this period that the Russian peasants completed their identity transformation from free farmers to serfs. Serfdom was initially established, strengthened, and finally established, and profoundly affected the course of Russian history for hundreds of years.

In 600 years, Europeans reached all parts of the world, occupied the world, and exploited the world. They also provided many of the incentives and receptive factors that shaped our world today. Because Europe's expansion was not a one-way street but a centuries-long interaction, in Wolfgang Reinhard's magnum opus he unearths what was unique before globalization. The renowned historian describes the expansion of power in time and space before world history, starting with the expansion of ancient Europe and continuing through the Middle Ages and 20th century colonization. Whether the author describes Asian trading systems or plantation slave crafts, or the ecological impacts or political legacy conflicts of European expansion, he arouses the interest of readers other than Europeans with his rich historical knowledge and easy-to-read text.
