In the post-Brexit era, how does the UK position itself, and how should we view the UK? When the Brexiteers won the referendum in 2016, they celebrated that Britain would "take back control" and resume its global role that was interrupted by its original membership of the EU. Britain seems to have a chance to regain its former glory and once again become the savior of Europe. However, as the years have passed, the negotiations have continued to stall. Not only has the future of Britain after Brexit become increasingly difficult to predict, but the narrative of Britain's past has also been shrouded in mystery. According to David Reynolds, professor at Cambridge University and historian of international relations, whether it is the disputes before Brexit or the confusion after Brexit, it has a lot to do with how people tell the story of Britain. He decided to re-examine four glorious and magnificent British stories. It is these seemingly beautiful stories that implanted misunderstandings about millennia of history into the hearts of British people, covered up the problems and darkness, and shaped the Brexit dispute. These four stories with the themes of "Decline", "Europe", "Britain" and "Empire" are also four clues to understanding Britain. When we look at a wider space and a longer time, we can see the acquisition and loss of British hegemony, the connection and estrangement with Europe, the merger and separation within the United Kingdom, and the glory and shadow of global empire, and we will gain some historical wisdom needed in the changing pattern.

"The Nazis Take Power: The Experience of a Small German Town" shows how the Nazi dictatorship used propaganda to cleverly override democratic institutions and seize power. Relying on local newspapers, journals, reports, budget information, crime statistics, interviews with individuals, and legal records, William Sheridan Allen dissects the German town of Northheim, charting with microscopic precision the transformation of a sleepy town into a Nazi stronghold. In this powerful analysis, Aron argues that the common belief that Hitler came to power at the national level is a misconception and that, contrary to Hitler's fervent local supporters, the Third Reich would never have emerged. Aron's study shows how the Nazis were able to use sharp and sophisticated propaganda to exploit the weaknesses of the masses, making this book not just a study of history but of human nature.

The Cape of Good Hope series, with its unique perspective on peace, uses "peace" as the red thread to string together the history of this war. It is a cautionary book that is of great significance in resolving various conflicts today. Why reject war but no peace? Who is taking advantage of the uncertainty to bring a series of devastating and devastating disasters to Europe? How did Europe change forever during the Thirty Years' War? How did civilization survive all the calamities and survive in the desolation? From a brand-new perspective, Johannes Burckhardt focuses on the peace attempts and the moments that were infinitely close to peace during the Thirty Years' War, using "peace" as the red thread to string together the history of this war. The author deeply and thoroughly analyzes the various games behind an avoidable conflict and points directly to the real interests of political activists. Furthermore, the author reiterates that the Thirty Years' War was not a religious war, but a "battle for nation-building." What is impressive is that the author not only shows the war experiences of people at that time, but also asks how civilization survived all the tribulations and survived in the desolation. This book also highly praises the peace initiatives that had a high probability of success at that time, and which are of great significance in resolving various conflicts today.

The book takes the political career and fate of Andokides, an orator who was active in the Athenian political arena at the turn of the 5th and 4th centuries BC as the main line, and dares to explore the situation of the nobility under democratic politics and its relationship with democratic politics. In terms of research methods, the author uses Andokides's speech as the basic text, refers to the records of classical writers such as Xenophon, Diodorus, and Plutarch, and conducts textual research on Andokides' life and related major political events on the basis of verifying the authenticity of historical materials. Then Andokides is placed in the grand background of the politics of the Athenian city-state, and with the help of relevant discussions by modern scholars such as Grote, Liangnet, Rhodes, Davis, and Ostwald, the basic situation of the political operation of the Athenian city-state at that time and the relationship between the fate of individual citizens and other issues are discussed. Finally, taking the personal political fate of Andokides as an example, this paper examines the situation of the nobility under democratic politics and its relationship with democratic politics, and then reveals the basic characteristics of Athenian democratic politics in that period.

As a country that has experienced three political systems: monarchy, republic, and empire and has continued to exist for more than a thousand years, the history of ancient Rome has always attracted people's thinking and research. This book is a brand-new history of Rome written by a world-class classicist who has accumulated more than 50 years of work. The author chooses the "Senate and People of Rome" (SPQR), the political hub of Rome, as the starting point. He cleverly and profoundly begins with the incident of Cicero versus Catiline in 63 BC, and passionately tells the story of Rome to readers. The book not only explores how Rome grew from an insignificant village in central Italy to an empire spanning three continents, but also reveals how the Romans viewed themselves and their achievements. Throughout, the author describes various stages of Roman history from both an external and internal perspective. At the same time, the book is also permeated with strong realistic concerns. When the author discusses Rome's military expansion, democracy, immigration, religious conflicts, social mobility, citizenship, exploitation and other issues, we will always see the shadow of today's world, and thus understand why ancient Rome is still important to us. The book has a grand framework but is full of vivid details. Although it makes extensive use of the latest achievements in archaeology, numismatics, and inscriptions, it rarely uses professional terminology. The author tells the "other side" of many stories in a plain and humorous way, challenging traditional views and presenting readers with a vivid and charming Rome that still has many unsolved mysteries.

From ancient times to the 18th century, particularly grand exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations took place along the Silk Road that traversed Asia and Europe. The opening up of the Silk Road began with the mutual attraction between civilizations. The fundamental driving force behind its ability to last for thousands of years lies in mankind's shared desire for wealth and yearning for a beautiful civilization. "Frontiers of Civilization: From Ancient Times to Modern Times" is a new interpretation of Silk Road civilization. The book examines the civilizational exchanges of various Eurasian peoples on the Silk Road from a large-scale, long-term, and historical perspective, and divides this three-thousand-year history into four grand chapters: from the prehistoric Silk Road to the hollowing out, the ancient East and the West met for the first time; the gods entered China during the Han and Tang Dynasties, and the four major civilization systems The convergence of borders in the Western Regions began to form a diverse trade and cultural exchange network; during the Song and Ming Dynasties, spices came from the east, porcelain went to the west, and Chinese products reached Central Asia and as far away as Europe via the Maritime Silk Road; in the late Ming and Qing Dynasties, missionaries came from the east, kicking off the mutual learning of civilizations between China and Europe from imagining foreign countries to the East-West debate. At this point, the Silk Road finally closely connected the three continents of Asia, Africa and Europe, that is, the civilized world before modern times.

Military figures and even some high-level national policymakers due to its "poor" expected results and high economic and political costs. However, the Joint Chiefs of Staff headed by Roosevelt insisted on implementing it despite all objections. This book narrates the historical process of the Matterhorn Project, paying particular attention to its relationship with other historical events and its impact.
