The Political and Strategic History of the World By Lord Conrad Black

The Political and Strategic History of the World, Volume I

By Lord Conrad Black

The great biographer and historian, Lord Conrad Black, is out with his most ambitious project yet: The Political and Strategic History of the World, Vol I. Internationally-known Lord Black is available for beguiling interviews at this time to talk about not only the history of the world, but recent global milestones, which affect us all.

The late Henry Kissinger says of Black's new masterwork:

"Lord Black's ambitious work begins with prehistory and gains momentum with the death of Caesar. It is presented with elegance and erudition."

Lord Black is known for his insightful and profound commentary on the political issues of the day and has certainly made history himself as the former owner of The Telegraph in England, The Jerusalem Post in Israel, The National Post in Canada, and The Chicago Sun Times, along with over 150 other daily newspapers across the U.S., Canada, and Australia. He is, and has been, friends with Presidents Nixon, Reagan, and Trump, Prime Ministers (Mrs. Thatcher in particular), and many of the heads of Europe. He has been persecuted and prosecuted by the U.S. "justice" system and yet, quickly recovered to become one of the most trusted and seasoned voices on the American, British, and Canadian political scene, known for his high intelligence, deep historic knowledge, and good common sense.

At a time when history has become a battleground and politically driven historical "docu-dramas" abound, Lord Black comes to the rescue with a thoroughly no-nonsense account of world history. The first volume begins with the early history of the Jews, Sumeria, Egypt, Babylon, Assyria, Persia, ancient China and India, then progresses through the great historic struggles of the ages: Mycenae and Troy, Athens and Sparta, Greece and Persia, the conquests of Alexander and the wars of succession, the rise of Rome and its struggle with Carthage, and Rome's internal upheavals culminating in the Caesars, and ends with the death of Augustus. Lord Black brings the ancient world to life as few historians have been able to do.

In The Political and Strategic History of the World, you'll learn:

·    How the Bible ties into known ancient history;

·    The historical accuracy of the ancient Homeric battles and the Trojan War;

·    How Greek internecine warfare delayed the development of the nation-state;

·    That Alexander the Great was likely not a homosexual, but his mother was the hellcat of the ages;

·    That Julius Caesar did not destroy the Roman Republic - that had happened fifty years earlier;

·    About the dramatic final days of Antony and Cleopatra; and

·    About the fortuitous rise of Caesar's adopted son, Octavian.

The publisher believes The Political and Strategic History of the World should be read by young people and therefore the kindle version is offered for only $9.99. When all three volumes are complete, one will be able to receive a high-quality education in world history for less than $30. Traditional history lovers will want a copy on their shelves to return to again and again.

"Conrad Black is one of a handful of contemporary historians who could undertake a narrative, multivolume history of world civilization and restore the value of that grand tradition."

--Victor Davis Hanson, The Hoover Institution, Stanford University,
