Is this the shittiest non-siege battle of the Medieval age?
It's basically a dumb slugging match, William of Normandy tried breaking up the Saxon shield walls with arrows, and when that didn't work, sent two dumbass uphill charges versus the shield wall. He even had a fucking cavalry force charge uphill against a solid formation of unbroken infantry.
And even when some of those stupid Saxons broke the shield wall and charged down and got killed for their dumbfuckery, the wall still held and what happened next was a battle that lasted the entire day. It was pure attrition. All tactics was fucking lost and everyone just slugged it the fuck out.

The battle lasted the entire day, nigger.
I dunno why William is portrayed as some military genius when it was just charge after charge after charge and a dumb melee that took until nightfall to end.

Can some1 recommend me a documentary about Byzantine empire. I'd especially like to know about aesthetics, culture/anthropology, religion and philosophy, in addition to politics and warfare.

As far as documentaries, you'll be hard pressed to find any that go into detail past the 8th century. Most focus on 6th and 7th century

hmm bummer. I'm very curious about aesthetics near the end of the empire 15th century.
Thx anyway, should be helpful anyway

Lost to the West by Lars Brownsworth goes from the splitting of the Roman Empire by Diocletian to the Fall of Constantinople. Naturally, he skips over some emperors, but he hits the important ones and a few more for good measure. He doesn't go super in detail with Byzantine culture, but you get an okay overview.
If you want a book with less history and more culture, hit me up when you find it. There's plenty of books like for the Roman Empire proper, but it's hard to find them for the Byzantines.

What books about the American Civil War do you recommend reading to someone who has only watched the Ken Burns documentary? I am interested in the subject, but other than journals and other documents from the time period, I don't know where to start learning more about it.

Famous people serving in military conflicts. There's a surprising high amount of famous people, intellectuals, actors, writers, future heads of state who served in armies throughout history in various conflicts.
I'd like to see some lesser known ones. I'm thinking Hemingway, Connery and others.

>In 1925, in his first known love affair, Montgomery, then in his late thirties, courted a 17-year-old girl, Miss Betty Anderson. His method of courtship apparently included drawing diagrams in the sand of how he would deploy his tanks and infantry in a future war, a contingency which seemed very remote at that time. She respected his ambition and single-mindedness, but declined his proposal of marriage.
>One incident that illustrated this occurred during the North African campaign when Montgomery bet Walter Bedell Smith that he could capture Sfax by the middle of April 1943. Smith jokingly replied that if Montgomery could do it he would give him a Flying Fortress complete with crew. Smith promptly forgot all about it, but Montgomery did not, and when Sfax was taken on 10 April he sent a message to Smith "claiming his winnings". Smith tried to laugh it off, but Montgomery was having none of it and insisted on his aircraft. It got as high as Eisenhower who, with his renowned skill in diplomacy, ensured Montgomery did get his Flying Fortress, though at a great cost in ill feeling. Even Alanbrooke thought it "crass stupidity".

Monty was a massive autist who, while usually competent did not have the diplomatic skills required as part of an international force. Especially one where Britain was the junior partner.
He was lucky that British High Command didn't have anyone to replace him with.

Let's discuss and tell stories about Ceaucescu and his communist regime, that made him carry fame as the Stalin of the mid to late Cold War, as leader the most repressive regime of post-war Eastern Europe, with an overshadowing personality cult, multiple repressive laws, a big death count and an orwellian secret police. His regime rivals Hoxha's in Albania.

I am looking for recommendations on books that give an insight in the development of the advertisingbusiness, starting in the late 1950's early 1960's or books that give an oversight of the periode before that.

The history of these people is the history of wherever they are from as they are not a discrete population.

Because they weren't strong enough to string it.

It's possible that bows and archery was considered differently in the Bronze Age than it was in the Classical era, or perhaps there was some Eastern influence on the character of Odysseus during the Dark Ages.
