Its rise and development have also brought us many mysteries: What are the internal driving forces and external conditions for the expansion of the Mongols?

How did the Mongolian conquests interact with those powerful countries with glorious civilizations? Focusing on these issues, the author excavated Chinese and Western historical documents and combined the research results of domestic and foreign scholars to give his own understanding.

In 1971, inspired by the "dependency theory", Uruguayan journalist, writer and poet Eduardo Galeano published the world-shocking "The Cut Veins of Latin America" ​​in an attempt to dissect the diseased bodies of Latin America and explore the future of the continent. He used irrefutable and rich information and powerful and tragic writing to lay out the rugged fate of this continent since Columbus opened a new era of navigation, and wrote page after page of Latin American suffering history: gold and silver, cocoa, cotton, rubber, coffee, fruit, oil, iron, nickel, manganese, copper, tin... These "blood vessels" run through the entire Latin American continent and extend to the open end, where they flow into the treasure troves of Europe and the United States. In the past, colonialism barbarically plundered this land; while modern civilized institutions such as free trade, economic aid, joint ventures, and international organizations also used uncivilized means to participate in the ancient war of plunder. Latin America is a region with cut veins, and it is the history of Latin America's underdevelopment that constitutes the history of world capitalist development. This book attempts to uncover the truth about Latin America's centuries of loneliness, and also allows us to listen to the voices of the losers: those heroes who pursued Latin America's independence, prosperity, and their failed revolutions. This is a microcosm of the tragedy across Latin America. Just as the history revealed in the book was covered up and falsified by the authorities, the book was banned by right-wing Latin American governments shortly after its publication. However, it has been translated into dozens of languages ​​around the world and has been long regarded by a generation as a symbol of rebellion in Latin America. Its judgment bears the mark of the times, but its fate has been integrated into history.

1944 saw Roosevelt's re-election and the pinnacle of his wartime leadership, the unprecedented Normandy landings, the liberation of Paris, and the chaotic conferences that laid the foundation for future peace. 1944 Will also not forget Hitler's "Final Solution," the lives of millions of Jews at stake, and Roosevelt's indecision. While the Allied forces were fighting the Normandy landings, the Nazis were accelerating their murder of Europe's Jews. Is winning the war the best way to save the Jews? Would freeing the Jews hinder the Allies' plan to defeat Hitler? During this year, Roosevelt made countless difficult decisions, but how to save the lives of European Jews seemed to have become an uncontrollable challenge... In 1944, the Allies encountered various obstacles, or Hitler's power became more concentrated. These are stories that could have happened but did not happen in the end. Yet during the year, democracy was redeemed, albeit at a high cost. Also in the same year, the U. S. Congress, where anti-Semitic ideologies dominated, under pressure from various quarters, established the War Refugee Commission to save Jews from the Nazi slaughter. This marked the U. S.'S official intervention in the Holocaust. But the best opportunity was missed when European and American countries closed their doors to accept Jewish immigrants. In this magnificent story, Jay Winnick captures the twists and turns of history with unprecedented scope. But these twists and turns still fail to answer one question: How many more Jews could have been saved if the United States had acted sooner?

On November 16, 1776, the rumble of cannons was heard from an inconspicuous fortress on the Dutch island of St. Eustatius. This was a response to the customary salute fired by the American warship "Andrew Doria" when it entered a foreign port. Although the salute was weak, it announced for the first time the most significant event of that century - the birth of a new country destined to change the course of history. Barbara W. Tuchman writes about the American Revolution from a new perspective in this work. She writes not only about Washington and the bloody soldiers, but also about the frustration and decadence of British general Rodney, and the assistance provided by France and the Netherlands for their own complicated reasons. In the words of George Washington, the United States "seems to have been specially designed by God to demonstrate the greatness and happiness of mankind." However, mankind does not move toward freedom as steadily as it praises. Between truth and endless falsehoods, the restraint of reason seems to be eternal.

Fourteenth-century Europe contains two conflicting images: a glorious age of crusaders, cathedrals, and chivalry, and a world descending into chaos and mental anguish. Barbara W. Tuchman chose an aristocrat from this period, Enguerain de Courcy, as a narrative carrier, using this man's life to look at the Hundred Years' War, the Black Death, extravagant feasts, the mercenary system, cruel taxation, peasant riots and church schism in the Middle Ages... In the end, the ruins carrying that era were left here, watching the fateful human history.

St. Petersburg has always seemed like an impossible capital, rising from the frozen mists and flooded marshes of the Neva River on Russia's western edge. It is the emerging capital of an ancient country. Founded in 1703 by the sheer will of its charismatic founder, the murderous megalomaniac Peter the Great, St. Petersburg's dazzling but chaotic reputation was soon forged by the brutal rule of its earlier rulers. The city, with its series of different incarnations – St. Petersburg, Petrograd, Leningrad and back to St. Petersburg again – has been a place of constant contradictions. It was a window to Europe and Enlightenment thought, but much of Russia's glory was pioneered here: its literature, music, dance and, for a time, its political vision. It gave birth to artistic geniuses such as Pushkin, Dostoevsky, Tchaikovsky, Shostakovich, Pavlova and Nureyev. Yet despite the dazzling palaces, fairy-tale balls and enchanting gardens, the blood of thousands of people was spilled on the city's snow-covered streets. It was a hotbed of war and revolution, a place of siege and starvation, a crucible of brutal brutality by rulers hungry for power. In this book, Jonathan Myers reconstructs the three-hundred-year drama of this absurd yet brilliant city, which continues to this day when-once again-its fate hangs in the balance. This is an epic story of murder, massacre and madness played out in tragic and glorious circumstances. It is an unforgettable portrait of a city and its people.
