Masters of War: Mikhail KutuzovThe Fox of Russia: Strategy, Survival, and the Defeat of NapoleonThe untold story of the general who defeated Napoleon and changed the course of history.In 1812, Napoleon Bonaparte led the largest army ever assembled into Russia, confident of swift victory. Six months later, his Grande Armee lay destroyed, its 600,000 soldiers reduced to fewer than 30,000 survivors. This catastrophic defeat marked the beginning of Napoleons downfall and reshaped European history. Yet the architect of this victory remains one of historys most underappreciated military geniuses.Field Marshal Mikhail Kutuzov was an unlikely savior. At 67, scarred by two near-fatal head wounds that should have killed him, he appeared too old and cautious for command. When appointed to lead Russian forces, he faced universal criticism for retreating before Napoleons advance and abandoning Moscow without a fight. His own Tsar blamed him for defeats, subordinates questioned his courage, and Russian society condemned him as a traitor.Yet Kutuzov possessed something more valuable than youth or aggression: comprehensive strategic wisdom forged through five decades of warfare. While Napoleon sought the decisive battle that would crush Russian resistance, Kutuzov understood that patience, attrition, and Russias vast spaces could accomplish what conventional tactics could not. He turned Russias greatest vulnerabilities, its primitive infrastructure, harsh climate, and immense distances into decisive weapons.This definitive biography reveals how Kutuzovs controversial strategy was actually a masterpiece of operational art. Drawing on decades of military experience fighting Turks, French, and internal political enemies, he orchestrated one of historys most successful defensive campaigns. By avoiding decisive battle, coordinating regular forces with partisan warfare, and exploiting French logistical vulnerabilities, he destroyed Napoleons army more thoroughly than any battlefield victory could have achieved.Masters of War: Mikhail Kutuzov traces the generals remarkable life from his birth into minor Russian nobility through his miraculous survival of impossible wounds, his diplomatic missions to Constantinople, his controversial defeat at Austerlitz, and his ultimate vindication in 1812. It examines his complex relationships with the mercurial Tsar Alexander I, his mentorship under the legendary Suvorov, and his navigation of the treacherous politics of the Russian court.But this is more than a military biography. Its an exploration of strategic thinking at the highest levelhow one mans comprehensive understanding of warfares true nature defeated the eras greatest tactical genius. Kutuzov demonstrated that wisdom could triumph over brilliance, that strategic patience could overcome aggressive action, and that achieving political objectives mattered more than winning spectacular battles.Masters of War: Mikhail Kutuzov reveals how one scarred, aging general saved Russia through strategic wisdom when younger, more aggressive commanders would have destroyed it through pursuit of glory. Its the story of the Fox who defeated the Eagleand the timeless lessons his example still offers about leadership, strategy, and the true nature of military genius."As long as the army exists, there is hope." - Mikhail Kutuzov, September 13, 1812, on the decision to abandon Moscow

Hafiz has been called "the master of the erotic ghazal," and much of the sexuality in his work is homoerotic. Hafiz ghazals are infused with same-sex mysticism that startles many Western minds because of the expression of male-male love as not only approaching but actually reaching a state of divinity. Hafiz believes one can see an image of the creator in the face of ones beloved. His religious fervor is matched by his intense carnal desires, and he sees no contradiction in the two. It has often been written by Western scholars studying Persian literature that the Persians (Iranians) quote Hafiz more frequently than Westerners quote Shakespeare. Many scholars in both the East and the West consider him the greatest lyric poet of all time.

Holloway - a hollow way, a sunken path. A route that centuries of foot-fall, hoof-hit, wheel-roll and rain-run have harrowed deep down into bedrock. In July 2005, Robert Macfarlane and Roger Deakin - author of Wildwood - travelled to explore the holloways of South Dorsets sandstone. They found their way into a landscape of shadows, spectres ### great strangeness. Six years later, after Roger Deakins early death, Robert Macfarlane returned to the holloway with the artist Stanley Donwood and writer Dan Richards. The book is about those journeys and that landscape. Moving in the spaces between social history, psychogeography and travel writing, Holloway is a beautiful and haunted work of art.
