This is the first in-depth examination of India's influence on the Western imagination and, in particular, on English Romantic poetry.  Beginning with Forster's A Passage to India, Drew reconsiders the story that Pythagoras gained his wisdom from the Brahmins and then moves forward in time to the Romantics--including Coleridge and Shelley--and the present century, revealing the influence of Indian traditions and mythology on Western creative thought. In addition, the book clearly delineates the European idea of India and offers a new, speculative thesis concerning the nature of the human imagination.

Veteran history author Alan Axelrod brings investigative skills as well as a historian’s eye to bear on eighteen largely forgotten but fateful conflicts. Each chapter carefully delineates the context of the war in question—the origins of the dispute, the motivations of the opposing forces—and incorporates vivid and arresting accounts of pivotal battles, clearly explaining each side’s maneuvers and tactics, while capturing the chaos and carnage of warfare. Fascinating details bring the conflicts to life: the blue war paint with which ancient Britons daubed themselves to terrorize their Roman enemies, the seemingly innocuous request that sparked the Peasants’ War in sixteenth-century Germany, the uncompromising code of honor followed by Japanese samurai. And legendary, little-understood figures are fleshed out: Russian Czar Ivan the Terrible; German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck; the English spy known as Lawrence of Arabia. Filled with more than 75 archival maps, illustrations, and paintings from around the world. An in-depth and gripping read for people who want to know more about important historical events.
