Название: Шанхайское восстание "Союза малых мечей" (1853-1855) Автор: Кузес В.С. Издательство: Наука Год: 1980 Cтраниц: 201 Формат: pdf Размер: 19 мб Язык: русский
Шанхай находится на побережье Тихого океана и в 19 веке являлся важным портом, через который осуществлялась китайская внешняя торговля. Город попал под влияние английских колонизаторов, которые навязали Китаю кабальные условия торговли в результате трех опиумных войн. В итоге страна попала в полуколониальную зависимость от Англии, США и Франции. Ухудшение социально-экономического положение китайских крестьян и других низших слоев общества вылилось в серию восстаний против власти китайской правящей династии и колонизаторов. |

 Название: Правда о Куликовской битве Автор: Наби Рустам Издательство: Казань: Иман Год: 2004 Формат: pdf Страниц: 238 Размер: 36 mb Язык: Русский Качество: Приемлемое
Новая книга Рустама Наби (Набиева) посвящена проблеме «Куликовской битвы». Применение комплексного подхода к анализу различного рода источников позволило исследователю с большей степенью уверенности утверждать, что «Куликовской битвы» в том виде, как она описывается в учебниках истории, не было и не могло быть. В 1380-1381 гг. в стране происходила крупномасштабная борьба между западной и восточной коалициями во главе с Мамаем и Тохтамышем. При поддержке Тимура Самаркандского (Тамерлана) победу одержал Тохтамыш, что и засвидетельствовано современниками. |

 Название: Американка в Сибири: время Гражданской войны в России в 1918 - 1919 гг. Автор: Хилл Т. Лоусон мл. Издательство: М. : Русский импульс Год: 2004 Формат: djvu Страниц: 321 Размер: 11 mb Язык: Русский, английский
Американская женщина Флоренс Хоффман расстаётся с роскошным образом жизни, приятным климатом Гавайев, любимой работой эссеиста в газете «Гонолулу Стар-Бюллетень» и отправляется в промерзшую и нищую Сибирь с миссией Красного Креста - оказывать безвозмездную помощь, заботиться о русских, бежавших от красного террора. Беседы с очевидцами, письма к родным и статьи в газету, острые, ужасающие, а порой и не лишенные юмора, ее сын хронологически собрал воедино и связал их с опытом собственных приключений и переживаний, следуя путем своей матери по Транссибирской железной дороге. |

Название: Bloodletters and Badmen: Narrative Encyclopaedia of American Criminals from the Pilgrims to the Present Автор: Jay Robert Nash Издательство: M. Evans & Company Год: 1995 Формат: EPUB Размер: 31 Мб Язык: английский / English
Bloodletters and Badmen is a fine coffee table book about the history of crime in America. Open to pretty much any page and you'll find an intriguing article; and with over six hundred pages there's certainly a lot to get through. The book covers pretty much every type of crook you could imagine, from serial killers and spree murderers, to Depression-era outlaws and Mob bosses, Old West gunslingers and sex offenders, kidnappers and cannibals, swindlers and bank robbers, crimes of passion and assassins. Most of the most notorious crooks are here, along with many obscure ones you're likely to have never heard of. Nash is a fine writer with an electrifying style; his writing style is terse, crisp and wonderfully descriptive. It's passionate, which inevitably leads to bias on occasions, but mostly it makes for gripping reading. |

Название: Edward VIII: The Uncrowned King Автор: Piers Brendon Издательство: Penguin Год: 2018 Формат: EPUB Размер: 20 Мб Язык: английский / English
'After my death,' George V said of his eldest son and heir, 'the boy will ruin himself within twelve months.' The forecast proved uncannily accurate. Edward VIII came to the throne in January 1936, provoked a constitutional crisis by his determination to marry the American divorcée Wallis Simpson, and abdicated in December. He was never crowned king. In choosing the woman he loved over his royal birthright, Edward shook the monarchy to its foundations. Given the new title 'Duke of Windsor' and essentially sent into exile, he remained a visible skeleton in the royal cupboard until his death in 1972 and he haunts the house of Windsor to this day. Drawing on unpublished material, notably correspondence with his most loyal (though much tried) supporter Winston Churchill, Piers Brendon's superb biography traces Edward's tumultuous public and private life from bright young prince to troubled sovereign, from wartime colonial governor to sad but glittering expatriate. With pace and panache, it cuts through the myths that still surround this most controversial of modern British monarchs. |

Название: Madness Rules the Hour: Charleston, 1860 and the Mania for War Автор: Paul Starobin Издательство: PublicAffairs Год: 2017 Формат: EPUB Размер: 25 Мб Язык: английский / English
The tea has been thrown overboard-the revolution of 1860 has been initiated." —Charleston Mercury, November 8, 1860 In 1860, Charleston, South Carolina, embodied the combustible spirit of the South. No city was more fervently attached to slavery, and no city was seen by the North as a greater threat to the bonds barely holding together the Union. And so, with Abraham Lincoln's election looming, Charleston's leaders faced a climactic decision: they could submit to abolition—or they could drive South Carolina out of the Union and hope that the rest of the South would follow. In Madness Rules the Hour, Paul Starobin tells the story of how Charleston succumbed to a fever for war and charts the contagion's relentless progress and bizarre turns. |

Название: The Story of England Автор: Michael Wood Издательство: Penguin Год: 2010 Формат: EPUB Размер: 27 Мб Язык: английский / English
The village of Kibworth in Leicestershire lies at the very centre of England. It has a church, some pubs, the Grand Union Canal, a First World War Memorial - and many centuries of recorded history. Bought in the thirteenth century by William de Merton, who founded Merton College, Oxford, it also lodges 750 years of village history. Michael Wood tells the extraordinary story of one English community over fifteen centuries - from the moment that the Roman Emperor Honorius sent his famous letter in 410 advising the English to look to their own defences to the village as it is today. He builds on this unique archive, enlisting the help of Kibworth's inhabitants in a village-wide archaeological dig and the first complete DNA profile of an English village. The story of Kibworth is the story of England itself, a Who Do You Think You Are? for the entire nation. |

Название: Thunder in the Mountains: Chief Joseph, Oliver Otis Howard, and the Nez Perce War Автор: Daniel J. Sharfstein Издательство: W. W. Norton & Company Год: 2017 Формат: EPUB Размер: 27 Мб Язык: английский / English
The epic clash of two American legends—their brutal war and a battle of ideas that defined America after Reconstruction. Oliver Otis Howard thought he was a man of destiny. Chosen to lead the Freedmen's Bureau after the Civil War, the Union Army general was entrusted with the era's most crucial task: helping millions of former slaves claim the rights of citizens. He was energized by the belief that abolition and Reconstruction, the country's great struggles for liberty and equality, were God's plan for himself and the nation. To honor his righteous commitment to a new American freedom, Howard University was named for him. But as the nation's politics curdled in the 1870s, General Howard exiled himself from Washington, D.C., rejoined the army, and was sent across the continent to command forces in the Pacific Northwest. Shattered by Reconstruction's collapse, he assumed a new mission: forcing Native Americans to become Christian farmers on government reservations. |

Название: The Encyclopedia of True Crime: The Pick of History's Worst Criminals from Fraudsters and Mobsters to Thrill Killers and Psychopaths Автор: Charlotte Greig Издательство: Chartwell Books Год: 2008 Формат: PDF Страниц: 302 Размер: 24,9 Mb Язык: English
Criminals come in all shapes and sizes and belong to every creed and colour. Despite being the product of their different lives and times, wrongdoers have much in common, leading secretive lives, living off their wits and keeping very different hours from the rest of us. Few are stuck in the old nine to five routine. Perhaps that’s the enduring appeal of crime: most of us spend our lives doing as we are told, but criminals are working against the laws which tie more timid citizens down. In the world of crime you are very much your own person, and in the rogues gallery which follows you will find out exactly what that means. It isn’t always pretty. |
