The bloodiest conflict in human history was not decided by the
actions of an enlightened few. Instead, it played out as countless
acts of heroism, on battlefields across the planet, in events whose
outcomes were anything but certain. Within this history of
individual sacrifice, it is possible to identify landmark events
that shifted the momentum of World War II, from the early gains of
Hitler's Axis powers to the growing Allied might of the later
years. One Hundred Events that Shaped World War II tells the story
of the war. Taking into account social, economic, technological and
political factors, it presents the people involved and identifies
the strategic masterstrokes, as well as blunders, that determined
the ultimate course of victory.
'Parthian Dawn' is the second volume of the adventures of Pacorus
the Parthian and his companions - the fierce and proud Gallia, the
ex-Roman centurion Domitus, the scout Byrd and the sorceress Dobbai
- as they battle for their lives against the backdrop of the clash
between the ancient world's two greatest empires. After three years
fighting by the side of Spartacus, Pacorus and his followers have
escaped from Italy in the aftermath of the defeat of the slave
rebellion. Made a king by the ruler of the Parthian Empire on his
return, he has married his beloved Gallia and made the city of Dura
Europos on the banks of the Euphrates his home. But his new kingdom
is seething with discontent and surrounded by hostile desert nomads
who are the sworn enemies of the Parthians. The aged King of Kings,
the man who has united the Parthians for decades, then dies to cast
a shadow of uncertainty over the empire, which erupts into
full-scale civil war as one of the empire's most powerful men,
Narses, attempts to seize the high crown by force. Pacorus is
forced to fight both Narses and his scheming ally, Prince
Mithridates, to preserve the realm and his own crown. And then the
Romans, taking advantage of Parthia's internal troubles, launch
their own invasion of the empire. Will Pacorus and indeed the
Parthian Empire survive the conflict that engulfs them on all
sides?
