 China's Muslims & Japan's Empire: Centering Islam in World War II (Islamic Civilization and Muslim Networks) by Kelly A Hammond November 16, 2020 | ISBN: 1469659654, 1469659646 | English | 314 pages | PDF | 4 MB In this transnational history of World War II, Kelly A. Hammond places Sino-Muslims at the center of imperial Japan's challenges to Chinese nation-building efforts. Revealing the little-known story of Japan's interest in Islam during its occupation of North China, Hammond shows how imperial Japanese aimed to defeat the Chinese Nationalists in winning the hearts and minds of Sino-Muslims, a vital minority population. Offering programs that presented themselves as protectors of Islam, the Japanese aimed to provide Muslims with a viable alternative-and, at the same time, to create new Muslim consumer markets that would, the Japanese hoped, act to subvert the existing global capitalist world order and destabilize the Soviets.  Charlemagne in Medieval German and Dutch Literature (Bristol Studies in Medieval Cultures) (Volume 9) by Albrecht Classen 2020 | ISBN: 1843845830 | English | 259 pages | True PDF | 4 MB The legend of the Frankish emperor Charlemagne is widespread through the literature of the European Middle Ages. This book offers a detailed and critical analysis of how this myth emerged and developed in medieval German and Dutch literatures, bringing to light the vast array of narratives either idealizing, if not glorifying, Charlemagne as a political and religious leader, or, at times, criticizing or even ridiculing him as a pompous and ineffectual ruler. The motif is traced from its earlest origins in chronicles, in the Kaiserchronik, through the Rolandslied and Der Stricker's Karl der Groe, to his recasting as a saint in the Zürcher Buch vom Heiligen Karl.

Boston in the American Revolution: A Town Versus an Empire by Brooke Barbier 2017 | ISBN: 1467135887, 1540215490 | English | 162 pages | EPUB | 2 MB In 1764, a small town in the British colony of Massachusetts ignited a bold rebellion. When Great Britain levied the Sugar Act on its American colonies, Parliament was not prepared for Boston s backlash. For the next decade, Loyalists and rebels harried one another as both sides revolted and betrayed, punished and murdered. But the rebel leaders were not quite the heroes we consider them today. Samuel Adams and John Hancock were reluctant allies. Paul Revere couldn t recognize a traitor in his own inner circle. And George Washington dismissed the efforts of the Massachusetts rebels as unimportant. With a helpful guide to the very sites where the events unfolded, historian Brooke Barbier seeks the truth behind the myths. Barbier tells the story of how a city radicalized itself against the world s most powerful empire and helped found the United States of America."
