Read this for free with your Kindle Unlimited Membership Greece is a colorful country and has always been the target of many tourists looking to have a relaxing time. However, what many people do not seem to know is that Greece also packs a rich history - all lying beneath the beautiful landscapes and beaches. Its history starts thousands of years before the Christian calendar was used - and each moment represents a cultural artifact that enriched more than a single country. Greece went through many wars - big and small. Some were fought because certain conquerors had their eyes on the land - whereas others were supposed to serve as means of provoking a change in the country (e.g. the civil wars).

FIVE GREAT HISTORIES by JOHN TARTTELIN Price verified one hour ago

Great lives separated by hundreds or even thousand of years, their exploits often forgotten or unknown, are here examined in the light of the most recent research. Hatshepsut, the only female Pharaoh, was an incredible woman, yet when she died her name was erased from all Egyptian monuments and inscriptions, turning her into a non-person whose actual existence was thus put in doubt. We are used to thinking of the Romans as victors and conquerors, but in AD 9 they met their match in the dark, tangled forests inhabited by Germanic tribes. The bleached bones of Varus and his three legions were only discovered years later. In England few people have heard the name of Thomas Wentworth the First Earl of Strafford, the power behind the throne of Charles 1st. Because of the King's inept handling of State affairs, Strafford was recalled from Ireland to help his master regain control of events in England. But it was all too late - he arrived back just in time to face his own execution. Nathan ...

Siren's Song: The Allure of War by Antonio M. Salinas (33 Reviews)    Price verified 6 hours ago

"First you will come to the Sirens who enchant all who come near them. If anyone unwarily draws in too close and hears the singing of the Sirens, his wife and children will never welcome him home again, for they sit in a green field and warble him to death with the sweetness of their song. "There is a great heap of dead men's bones lying all around, with the flesh still rotting off them. Therefore pass these Sirens by, and stop your men's ears with wax that none of them may hear." (Odyssey. Book 12, 188-191). Everyone dreams. However, some of us dream about a nightmare that is a timeless character in civilization: war.
