Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. From Jericho to Troy, medieval Europe knew siege warfare as a tradition of antiquity. Long before the advent of city culture, rivaling civilisations had relied on siege tactics as a means of taking over fortified palaces, temples, and defensive walls. But the dawn of the medieval period bought the 'golden age' of siege warfare, as the proliferation of formalised cities made siege tactics the ideal choice from a militaristic standpoint. In Medieval Sieges and Siegecraft, Geoffrey Hindley looks at the subject from every angle. He traces the developments of strong points, castles and fortified towns and considers the architects and masons who built them; describes the problems of medieval logistics and food supply that confronted both sides during a siege (and which often decided the outcome); and pens vivid portraits of the machinery of warfare-from towers, mines, trebuchets, and mangonels to boiling oil and Greek fire; and considers the parts played by women and camp followers in battle. With the support of fifty illustrations printed throughout the text, Hindley shows siege tactics in action through real-life case studies of famous sieges that changed the course of history in medieval Europe and the Holy Land. A definitive account of an often overlooked portion of military history, this stimulating and accessible study will be fascinating reading material for medieval specialists and for anyone who is interested in the history of warfare.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. A #1 New York Times Bestseller! "I read it cover-to-cover. I did not intend to, but I started at the beginning and didnt put it down until it was over."Rachel Maddow, MSNBC This book almost didnt see the light of day as government officials tried to bar its publication. The Inside Story of the Real President Trump, by His Former Attorney and Personal AdvisorThe Man Who Helped Get Him Into the Oval Office Once Donald Trumps fiercest surrogate, closest confidant, and staunchest defender, Michael Cohen knows where the skeletons are buried. This is the most devastating business and political horror story of the century. As Trumps lawyer and fixer, Cohen not only witnessed firsthandbut was also an active participant inthe inner workings of Trumps business empire, political campaign, and presidential administration. This is a story that you have not read in newspapers, or on social media, or watched on television. These are accounts that only someone who worked for Trump around the clock for over a decadenot a few months or even a couple of yearscould know. Cohen describes Trumps racist rants against President Barack Obama, Nelson Mandela, and Black and Hispanic people in general, as well as the cruelty, humiliation, and abuse he leveled at family and staff. Whether hes exposing the fact that Trump engaged in tax fraud by inflating his wealth or electronicfraud by rigging an online survey, or outing Trumps Neanderthal views towards women or his hush-money payments to clandestine lovers, Cohen pulls no punches. He shows Trumps relentless willingness to lie, exaggerate, mislead, or manipulate. Trump emerges as a man without a soula man who courts evangelicals and then trashes them, panders to the common man, but then rips offsmall business owners, a con man who will do or say absolutely anything to win, regardless of the cost to his family, his associates, or his country. At the heart of Disloyal, we see how Cohen came under the spell of his charismatic "Boss" and, as a result, lost all sense of his moral compass. The real "real" Donald Trump who permeates these pagesthe racist, sexist, homophobic, lying, cheating Presidentwill be discussed, written about, and analyzed for years to come.
