        Strong Women of World History

        Smart & brave

        by Caroline Vongries

        The female side of power Here the reader encounters strong women who came to power or took it: warriors and queens, empresses and leaders, women who gathered armies behind them, went to war, ruled peoples and empires and took the destinies of their countries into their hands and changed them. For a long time, the female gender did not play a role in history, because it was the history of men. But war and power are by no means exclusively a male domain, as this book proves. Caroline Vongries tells in an entertaining and knowledgeable way how different the paths to power were and how lastingly these women ruled and conquered. The author introduces us to some of the most interesting women in world history in fascinating portraits, including the pharaohs Hatshepsut and Cleopatra, the empresses Helena and Maria Theresia, the great queens Elisabeth I and Victoria, the Minerva of the north Christina of Sweden, Eleonore of Aquitaine or the legendary Joan of Arc - the Virgin of Orleans. Some of the women in the book are barely mentioned in history books and unjustifiably lead a shadowy existence in the memory of mankind. Remembering them is also a merit of this book.

        A Tourist in the Arab Spring

        by Tom Chesshyre

        In the aftermath of the Arab Spring, war reporters rushed to publish accounts of the uprising. Tom Chesshyre took a different approach – he jumped on a plane and became the first to return to the region as a tourist. The result is the fascinating, street-level tale of a lay traveller's journey through lands fresh from revolution. Chesshyre heads for tourist sites that few have seen in recent years, as well as new 'attractions' like Gaddafi's bombed-out bunker in Tripoli. In a book both touching and humorous, he also describes being abducted in Libya, listening to the sound of Kalashnikovs at night and talking to ordinary people struggling to get by. _x000D_ _x000D_ Extract from the introduction..._x000D_ _x000D_ 'I was travelling as a tourist, not as a foreign correspondent with a well-thumbed contacts book and a series of appointments. I would take the temperature of the region during a key period in its history - as a casual visitor. I would see what there was to see as a traveller with a guidebook. Yet by talking to people along the way, I'd get a sense of the bigger picture._x000D_ _x000D_ That was my hope, at least. Being a tourist would be my way of unlocking the countries. I would take in the wonderful Byzantine ruins of Tunisia, the famous Roman remains in Libya, and the treasures of the pharaohs in Egypt, plus some lovely beaches in the Sinai Peninsula. What would I find out about the Arab Spring as I pottered among the ancient sights? What does an Arab Spring feel like?'_x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_
