Book Description
Hono sapiens, homo pugnans, and so it has been since the beginning of recorded history. In the Middle Ages, especially, armed conflict and the military life were so much a part of the political and cultural development that a general account of this period is, in large measure, a description of how men went to war.

Book Description
Although the Middle Ages saw brilliant achievements in the diverse nations of East Central Europe, this period has been almost totally neglected in Western historical scholarship. East Central Europe in the Middle Ages provides a much-needed overview of the history of the region from the time when the present nationalities established their state structures and adopted Christianity up to the Ottoman conquest. Jean Sedlar’s excellent synthesis clarifies what was going on in Europe between the Elbe and the Ukraine during the Middle Ages, making available for the first time in a single volume information necessary to a fuller understanding of the early history of present-day Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Albania, and the former Yugoslavia. Sedlar writes clearly and fluently, drawing upon publications in numerous languages to craft a masterful study that is accessible and valuable to the general reader and the expert alike. The book is organized thematically; within this framework Sedlar has sought to integrate nationalities and to draw comparisons. Topics covered include early migrations, state formation, monarchies, classes (nobles, landholders, peasants, herders, serfs, and slaves), towns, religion, war, governments, laws and justice, commerce and money, foreign affairs, ethnicity and nationalism, languages and literature, and education and literacy. After the Middle Ages these nations were subsumed by the Ottoman, Habsburg, Russian, and Prussian-German empires. This loss of independence means that their history prior to foreign conquest has acquired exceptional importance in today’s national consciousness, and the medieval period remains a major point of reference and a source of national pride and ethnic identity. This book is a substantial and timely contribution to our knowledge of the history of East Central Europe.

Book Description
Our true story begins in Hungary with the Hungarian hussars, a group of mercenaries, and ends with the third generation, an American icon, Minnesota Fats, the hustler and entertainer known around the world. The lives of the three Wanderons have touched historys most memorable events from the past one hundred years of revolutions and wars around the world to audiences with world leaders, movie stars, corporate tycoons, mobsters and gangsters, famous entertainers, dignitaries, and celebrities. History has been made clearer from the lives of the Wanderons as they travelled through decades of time spawning an incredible spirit of challenge and adventure. It is not only their adventure throughout the past 150 years and the uniqueness of the Wanderons, but also their secret of success and their ability to earn this success that mystifies the tablets of love and memory. It is not only the search for the keys to this successful formula, but also the keys to happiness that fuels this book. Behind the scenes of many accepted historical accounts and explanations, there often exists hidden and undiscovered information yet to be brought to the surface. The desire to know the complete truth and the curious need to know the why of historical accounts is often void of the complete story as we know history today. But Wanderon will add spice and flavor and give a new perspective to the past while revealing a unique formula to the Wanderon success.
