Publisher's summary
Dankzij goed generaalschap, een solide leger en een flinke dosis geluk wist de Macedonische koning Alexander de Grote tussen 334 en 323 v.Chr. het oppermachtige Perzische Rijk te onderwerpen. Hierdoor kon de Griekse cultuur zich verspreiden naar Egypte, Babylonië, Iran, Centraal-Azië en de vallei van de Indus. Jona Lendering laat zien hoe het Perzische Rijk in conflict raakt met Macedonië. Vervolgens behandelt hij Alexanders troonbestijging, de consolidatie van zijn macht in Europa en de inval in Azië. We bezien de dramatische veldslag bij Issos, waarin voor de Perzen alles verkeerd ging wat verkeerd kon gaan. Het leidde tot een overwinning voor Alexander en zijn verovering van grote delen van Azië. Puttend uit de verrassende rijkdom van Babylonische en Iraanse bronnen, biedt Jona Lendering ons een nieuw beeld van de Macedonische heerser. Als geen ander weet Jona Lendering door de traditionele Griekse propaganda heen te prikken. Aan de hand van talloze vertalingen uit authentieke verslagen, waaronder ontcijferde kleitabletten, neemt hij de luisteraar mee op reis met Alexander.

Hilarious, fascinating, and a roller coaster of dizzying, historical what-ifs, Napoleon's Hemorrhoids is a potpourri for serious historians and casual history buffs. In one of Phil Mason's many revelations, you'll learn that Communist jets were two minutes away from opening fire on American planes during the Cuban missile crisis, when they had to turn back as they were running out of fuel. You'll discover that before the Battle of Waterloo, Napoleon's painful hemorrhoids prevented him from mounting his horse to survey the battlefield.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 140
How did the Wendels, one of New York’s most famous Gilded Age families, disappear from history? The Wendels built a fortune from New York real estate, and rubbed shoulders with the Astors, Vanderbilts, and Stuyvesants. But as the 19th century came to an end, the Wendel family tore itself apart. Following six years of painstaking archival research, Claire Prentice has prised open the door of the Wendels’ Fifth Avenue mansion—dubbed “the house of mystery” by the press—to reveal a fascinating and dysfunctional family imprisoned in a gilded cage.
