The Aceh War by Charles River Editors (.ePUB)

The Aceh War: The History of the Bloody Conflict that Imposed Dutch Rule Over Indonesia by Charles River Editors
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 7.92 Mb
Overview: During the 17th century, the Netherlands, despite having only 1.5 million people in 1600, became a global maritime and trading power. By contrast, France at the time had 20 million people, Spain had 8 million, and England had 5 million. Nevertheless, Amsterdam became one of the most important urban centers in the world and the location of the world’s first stock market, and Dutch merchant ships and pirates plied the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean, and the Pacific Ocean. The Dutch acquired colonies in the East Indies, where they seized control of the spice trade from the Portuguese, and in the West Indies, they acquired a number of islands from the Spanish (several of which are still Dutch today). They became the only Westerners who were allowed to trade with Shogunate Japan from a small island next to Nagasaki, and they settled the town that ultimately became New York City. Naturally, all of this imperialism generated enormous amounts of wealth that flowed into the Netherlands.
The Netherlands has had a complex and turbulent history involving the interplay of multiple political entities, ethnicities, and languages. The term "Netherlands" (Nederland in Dutch, Pay-Bas in French) refers to the low-lying topography of the region and today is used specifically to describe the country bordering Germany and Belgium, but historically it referred to the entire region occupied by Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg. What made the Netherlands’ global influence in the 17th century all the more remarkable is that the Dutch had only recently achieved political independence through the process of fighting a long and brutal war of resistance against rule by the Spanish Hapsburgs, starting in 1568. In 1581, the seven northern provinces – Holland, Zeeland, Utrecht, Gelderland, Overijssel, Friesland, and Groningen – declared their independence, and fighting took place back and forth on land and sea for decades, with the Dutch receiving some much-needed assistance from England’s Queen Elizabeth I. Thousands of civilians were massacred by the rampaging Spanish armies, and on the water, Dutch “sea beggars” attacked and harassed the Spanish fleet. Pro-Spanish privateers operating out of Dunkirk did the same against Dutch shipping.
All of this positioned the Dutch to wield massive imperialistic influence across the world, and a Dutch company dominated international waters while searching for conquest and riches. The Dutch East India Company, also known as VOC, was established around the beginning of the 17th century, and this nautical behemoth of a corporation was determined to squeeze everyone else out of the market. Vested with the power to wage war and exterminate any who dared stand in their way, the rest of the world stood by as the unstoppable force took over the whole of international maritime trade. The company would fight opponents across the globe, establishing a monopoly on the global spice trade that would not only rock the world but forever change the course of modern business history.
Naturally, not everybody welcomed the Europeans, and some of the fiercest opposition came from the Sultanate of Aceh. Aceh is now a part of Indonesia, but the people have stubbornly maintained a unique sense of self-identity based on a quite distinct and separate history. Once a major political and military power in the Indian Ocean, its power gradually declined over a period of several centuries, but Aceh successfully maintained its independence until 1873, when the Dutch invaded. The war between the Dutch and the Acehnese was the longest and bloodiest of the many Dutch military campaigns in Indonesia. Even after the Dutch technically subdued them, insurgency campaigns would last well into the 20th century, and sporadic fighting was still ongoing as the Japanese pushed across the Pacific in the 1930s and 1940s.

Arzawa by Charles River Editors (.ePUB)

Arzawa: The History and Legacy of a Forgotten Ancient Kingdom in Anatolia by Charles River Editors
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 2.26 Mb
Overview: The Late Bronze Age Near East (c. 1550-1200 BCE) was a time and place of unprecedented wealth and stability. The major kingdoms of Egypt, Babylonia, Hatti, Mitanni, Assyria, and other regional powers established trade networks and diplomatic ties with each other, creating one of the world’s first global geopolitical systems in the process. There was war and conflict during this era, but most of the wars were border skirmishes that involved proxies, rarely changing the borders very much in the process. Modern scholars have divided the countries in this system into two groups: the major powers, which included those listed above along with a few others, and those who were usually ruled over or colonized by the major powers. But things were not always so black and white.
The major power of Mitanni was eliminated from the club and replaced by Assyria, while other kingdoms seemingly defy categorization in the system, or at least their placement is problematic and a source of historical debate. For example, Elam was certainly a major power and had diplomatic and trade ties with Babylonia, but because it had limited to no direct contact with the other major powers, most historians do not consider it one of the “Great Powers.” Likewise, the status of the mysterious country Alashiya is also the topic of many inquiries. Alashiya is mentioned in some of the Amarna Letters as a Great Power, and most modern scholars have agreed with that categorization, but where the country was and how long it held such a powerful status is hotly debated.
The equally mysterious land of Arzawa is another Late Bronze Age kingdom whose Great Power status has been questioned by some archaeologists and historians. Arzawa was a state or a collection of states in western Anatolia that challenged the Hittites for supremacy in the region. Although Arzawa never extended its borders beyond Anatolia, even at the apex of its military, diplomatic, and economic power, it did draw the attention of the Egyptians and is mentioned in in two of the famous Amarna Letters. For that reason, many scholars have labeled Arzawa a Late Bronze Age Great Power, but the designation has done little to flesh out the details of their enigmatic culture. Historians, archaeologists, and philologists still argue over many elements of Arzawa and its people, including who they were, how powerful the kingdom was, and even where it was located. It is likely that not all of these questions will ever be answered, but an examination of Arzawa's culture and history, especially its relations with the Hittites, does help bring this Bronze Age culture into better focus.

The Engineering Leader: Strategies for Scaling by Cate Huston (.ePUB)+

The Engineering Leader: Strategies for Scaling Teams and Yourself by Cate Huston
Requirements: .ePUB, .PDF, .MOBI/.AZW reader, 10 MB
Overview: Great engineers don't necessarily make great leaders--at least, not without a lot of work. Finding your path to becoming a strong leader is often fraught with challenges. It's not easy to figure out how to be successful, empathetic, and caring yet tough. Whether you're on the management or individual contributor track, you need to develop strong leadership skills. This book guides you on the path to becoming a well-rounded and resilient engineering leader. The first half focuses on you, and how you can develop the self-management skills needed to survive and thrive in a leadership role. The second half focuses on teams, including the necessary components of team functioning that will empower and support your teams and the individuals within them. You'll learn how to create and balance both individual and team growth. This book is for two main types of people. It’s for leaders—folks who manage engineering teams. It’s also for individual contributors (ICs)—the folks who do the day-to-day work of writing code, shipping products, and so on. Whether you’re in a leadership role or an IC role, whichever way you slice it, you’re still the manager of yourself. The guidance in this book is written to help you navigate your career, your organization, your team—and to make the best of what you have around you, whatever that is, in the different forms it comes in.
