In breve, i comandi militari di stanza in Egitto si accorgono delle sue eccezionali capacità. È l'inizio di una saga che nel giro di qualche anno trasformerà il giovane e sconosciuto sottotenente gallese nell'epica figura di Lawrence d'Arabia.

Nephi puts us on notice in his very first sentence that The Book of Mormon was written by temple worshippers and for temple worshippers. He and the other prophets of The Book of Mormon, who called themselves the visionary men and the peaceable followers of Christ, knew and practiced a mystery, an ordinance by which they ascended through the temple and entered into the presence of God. This ordinance was embodied in a dramatic representation of the expulsion of Adam and Eve from Eden and their return to it, in which initiates played the roles of Adam and Eve or their descendants.

The history of Jerusalem is one of conflict, faith, and empire. Few cities have been attacked as often and as savagely. This was no less true in the Middle Ages. From the Persian sack in 614 through the bloody First Crusade and beyond, Jerusalem changed hands countless times. But despite these horrific acts of violence, its story during this period is also one of interfaith tolerance and accord. In this gripping history, John D. Hosler explores the great clashes and delicate settlements of medieval Jerusalem.

This book charts the remarkable journey of Jason D. Greenblatt, who spent nearly two decades in various senior positions at the Trump Organization—including as an Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer—and his subsequent appointment by President Trump as an Assistant to the President and Special Representative for International Negotiations.

Israël étant né à la suite d'un martyre, celui de la Shoah, toute discussion politique, historique ou sociologique risque toujours de raviver la souffrance originelle. Israël, c'est aussi la culture juive, celle qui a enfanté la pensée judéo-chrétienne, celle qui a largement participé à l'histoire de la philosophie, et majoritairement inventé l'introspection.

Ramesse II, pur non essendo tanto diverso dai suoi predecessori e dai suoi successori, è l'unico sovrano egizio a cui è stato attribuito l'appellativo “il Grande” e a essere acclamato in tutti i tempi come “re dei re”. In un affascinante ritratto del faraone, Toby Wilkinson ricostruisce l'insieme dei fattori che gli valsero la gloria e la memoria eterne privilegiando due aspetti: la creazione attenta e quasi ossessiva della propria immagine in una continua opera di propaganda e autopromozione.

The most eye-opening, and terrifying, story in Chip Reid's career as a journalist was the six weeks he spent with 3d Battalion, 5th Marines, during the invasion of Iraq in 2003, as a correspondent for NBC News. Traveling shoulder-to-shoulder with the young Marines, he had unparalleled access, witnessing them in combat, and interviewing as many as he could persuade his bosses to put on air, allowing them to tell their war stories in their own words.

L’opportunité de revenir sur les tragiques et cruels évènements qui ont ébranlé Israël et ses valeurs fondamentales. Il s’agit de plonger dans les racines de ces évènements, ainsi que dans la vie quotidienne mais aussi dans l’histoire politico-militaire du peuple Israéliens depuis 75 ans. La nouvelle guerre d’Israël est un plaidoyer pour un Tsahal, lui aussi paradoxal, armée composée de soldats et d’officiers brillants et patriotiques, mais dirigée par des hommes et des généraux davantage préoccupés par leur propre avenir politique, ce qui fait de Tsahal un état dans l’état depuis toujours.
