Barry Strauss's Ten Caesars is the story of the Roman Empire from rise to reinvention, from Augustus, who founded the empire, to Constantine, who made it Christian and moved the capital east to Constantinople.  During these centuries Rome gained in splendor and territory, then lost both. The empire reached from modern-day Britain to Iraq, and gradually emperors came not from the old families of the first century but from men born in the provinces, some of whom had never even seen Rome. By the fourth century, the time of Constantine, the Roman Empire had changed so dramatically in geography, ethnicity, religion, and culture that it would have been virtually unrecognizable to Augustus.  In the imperial era Roman women--mothers, wives, mistresses--had substantial influence over the emperors, and Strauss also profiles the most important among them, from Livia, Augustus's wife, to Helena, Constantine's mother. But even women in the imperial family faced limits and the emperors often forced them to marry or divorce for purely political reasons.  Rome's legacy remains today in so many ways, from language, law, and architecture to the seat of the Roman Catholic Church. Strauss examines this enduring heritage through the lives of the men who shaped it: Augustus, Tiberius, Nero, Vespasian, Trajan, Hadrian, Marcus Aurelius, Septimius Severus, Diocletian and Constantine. Over the ages, they learned to maintain the family business--the government of an empire--by adapting when necessary and always persevering no matter the cost. Ten Caesars is essential history as well as fascinating biography"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1278460</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1278460</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Strauss, Barry S.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1278460086</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle>Roman Emperors From Augustus to Constantine</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781508284284/MC.GIF&amp;client=greenwich&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ten Caesars]]></title><description><![CDATA["Best-selling historian and classicist Barry Strauss tells the story of the rise and fall of the Roman Empire through the lives of ten of its most important emperors, from Augustus to Constantine"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1277337</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1277337</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Strauss, Barry S.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1277337086</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Roman Emperors From Augustus to Constantine</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781451668834/MC.GIF&amp;client=greenwich&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rescue Board]]></title><description><![CDATA["America has long been criticized for refusing to give harbor to the Jews of Europe as Hitler and the Nazis closed in.

But what is it, precisely? And where did it come from?   As long as there has been fascism, there has been anti-fascism--also known as "antifa." Born out of resistance to Mussolini and Hitler in Europe during the 1920s and '30s, the antifa movement has suddenly burst into the headlines amidst opposition to the Trump administration and the alt-right. They could be seen in news reports, often clad all in black with balaclavas covering their faces, fighting police at the presidential inauguration, and on California college campuses protesting right-wing speakers, and most recently, on the streets of Charlottesville, VA.  Simply, antifa aims to deny fascists the opportunity to promote their oppressive politics--by any means necessary. Critics say shutting down political adversaries is anti-democratic; antifa adherents argue that the horrors of fascism must never be allowed the slightest chance to triumph again.  In a smart and gripping investigation, historian and former Occupy Wall Street organizer Mark Bray provides a one-of-a-kind look inside the movement, including a detailed survey of its history from its origins to the present day --the first transnational history of postwar anti-fascism in English. Based on interviews with anti-fascists from around the world, Antifa details the tactics of the movement and the philosophy behind it, offering insight into the growing but little understood resistancefighting back against the alt-right"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1215829</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1215829</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bray, Mark]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1215829086</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>The Anti-fascist Handbook</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781612197043/MC.GIF&amp;client=greenwich&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Second World Wars]]></title><description><![CDATA[-- The Second World Wars An authoritative new history of astonishing breadth, The Second World Wars]]></description><link>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1233345</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1233345</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Hanson, Victor Davis]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1233345086</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>How the First Global Conflict Was Fought and Won</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781541698567/MC.GIF&amp;client=greenwich&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Blitzkrieg]]></title><description><![CDATA["A leading military historian from the UK presents a controversial reassessment of the infamous German warfare tactic and its role in the fall of France to the Nazis in 1940, arguing that better Allied competence may have prevented German success"--NoveList.]]></description><link>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1187926</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1187926</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Clark, Lloyd]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2016 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1187926086</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>Myth, Reality, and Hitler&apos;s Lightning War: France 1940</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780802190345/MC.GIF&amp;client=greenwich&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Game of Queens]]></title><description><![CDATA["Sixteenth-century Europe saw an explosion of female rule. From Isabella of Castile and her granddaughter Mary Tudor, to Catherine de Medici, Anne Boleyn, and Elizabeth Tudor, women wielded enormous power over their territories for more than a hundred years. In the sixteenth century, as in our own, the phenomenon of the powerful woman offered challenges and opportunities. Opportunities, as when in 1529 Margaret of Austria and Louise of Savoy negotiated the "Ladies' peace" of Cambrai. Challenges, as when both Mary Queen of Scots and her kinswoman Elizabeth I came close to being destroyed by sexual scandal.

The award-winning New York Times columnist and former foreign correspondent turns a compassionate yet discerning eye on the legacy of his own family--most notably his mother's--in order to understand more profoundly the nature of modern Jewish experience. Through his emotionally lucid prose, we relive the anomie of European Jews after the Holocaust, following them from Lithuania to South Africa, England, the United States, and Israel. He illuminates the uneasy resonance of the racism his family witnessed living in apartheid-era South Africa and the ambivalence felt by his Israeli cousin when tasked with policing the occupied West Bank. He explores the pervasive Jewish sense of "otherness" and finds it has been a significant factor in his family's history of manic depression. This tale of remembrance and repression, suicide and resilience, moral ambivalence and uneasily evolving loyalties (religious, ethnic, national) both tells an unflinching personal story and contributes an important chapter to the ongoing narrative of Jewish life-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1119863</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1119863</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Cohen, Roger]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2015 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1119863086</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>Ghosts of Memory in A Jewish Family</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780385353137/MC.GIF&amp;client=greenwich&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why the Dutch Are Different]]></title><description><![CDATA["In the first book to consider the hidden history of the Netherlands from a modern perspective, author Ben Coates explores the length and breadth of his adopted homeland and discovers why one of the world's smallest countries is so fascinating and significant. It is a self-made country, the Dutch national character shaped by the ongoing battle to keep the water out, its love of dairy and beer, its attitude towards nature, and its famous tolerance. Ben Coates investigates what make the Dutch, Dutch, why the Netherlands is much more than Holland, and why the color orange is so important. Along the way he reveals why they are the world's tallest people, and manage to be richer than almost everyone else despite working far less. He also discovers a country which is changing fast, with the Dutch now questioning many of the liberal policies which made their nation famous. A personal portrait of a fascinating people, a sideways history and an entertaining travelogue, Why The Dutch are Different is the story of an Englishman who went Dutch, and loved it. Ben Coates has worked at various times as a political advisor, corporate speechwriter, lobbyist, and aid worker. Ben has written articles for numerous publications including the Guardian, Financial Times, and Huffington Post.

From his office at the American Hospital, itself an epicenter of Allied and Axis intrigue, Jackson smuggled fallen Allied fighter pilots safely out of France, a job complicated by the hospital director's close ties to collaborationist Vichy. After witnessing the brutal round-up of his Jewish friends, Jackson invited Liberation to officially operate out of his home at Number 11. When his secret life was discovered by his Nazi neighbors, he and his family were forced to undertake a journey into the dark heart of the war-torn continent from which there was little chance of return.

They were to lead the assault on Omaha Beach and break out inland. Simultaneously, other Ranger units would scale the cliffs at Pointe du Hoc to destroy the ostensibly huge gun battery there and thus protect the invasion fleet from being targeted. But was the Pointe du Hoc mission actually necessary? Why did the Allies plan and execute an attack on a gun battery that they knew in advance contained no field guns? And more importantly, why did they ignore the position at Maisy that did? Using personal interviews with the surviving Rangers who fought on the beach and at Pointe du Hoc, The Cover-Up at Omaha Beach presents exceptionally detailed new research that takes the reader into the middle of the action with the Rangers.Gary Sterne has made a painstaking study of what the Allies actually knew in advance of D-Day, including what was known about Maisy Battery. Maps, orders, and assault plans have been found in US, UK, and German archives, many of which have only been recently released after having been classified for more than sixty years. Radio communications of the Rangers as they advanced inland have been found, and Royal Air Force intelligence evaluations of bombing missions directed at the site have now been released. All these combine to make The Cover-Up at Omaha Beach one of the most up-to-date references on the subject.]]></description><link>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1173448</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1173448</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sterne, Gary]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2014 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1173448086</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>D-Day, the US Rangers, and the Untold Story of Maisy Battery</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781629143286/MC.GIF&amp;client=greenwich&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Last 100 Days]]></title><link>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1191360</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1191360</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Toland, John]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2014 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1191360086</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>The Tumultuous and Controversial Story of the Final Days of World War II in Europe</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780804180948/MC.GIF&amp;client=greenwich&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dora Bruder]]></title><link>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1114950</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1114950</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Modiano, Patrick]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2014 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1114950086</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780520962026/MC.GIF&amp;client=greenwich&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Catastrophe 1914]]></title><link>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1062503</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1062503</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Hastings, Max]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2013 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1062503086</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle>Europe Goes to War</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781482927597/MC.GIF&amp;client=greenwich&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Man Called Intrepid]]></title><description><![CDATA[The classic real-life story of the superspy whose vast intelligence network helped defeat the Nazis in World War II.

Birth figures are printed images of the pregnant uterus, always shown in series, that depict the variety of ways in which a fetus can present for birth. Historian Rebecca Whiteley coined the term and here offers the first systematic analysis of the images' creation, use, and impact. Whiteley reveals their origins in ancient medicine and explores their inclusion in many medieval gynecological manuscripts, focusing on their explosion in printed midwifery and surgical books from the mid-sixteenth to the mid-eighteenth century in Western Europe. During this period, birth figures formed a key part of the visual culture of medicine and midwifery and were widely produced. They reflected and shaped how the pregnant body was known and treated. And by providing crucial bodily knowledge to midwives and surgeons, birth figures were also deeply entangled with wider cultural preoccupations with generation and creativity, female power and agency, knowledge and its dissemination, and even the condition of the human in the universe. Birth Figures studies how different kinds of people understood childbirth and engaged with midwifery manuals, from learned physicians to midwives to illiterate listeners.
