Dismissed by contemporaries and historians alike as a  political general with dangerous aspirations, his famous failures have  overshadowed the tremendous energy, rare talent, and great  organizational skills that also marked his career. In this exhaustive  biography, Nathaniel Cheairs Hughes Jr. and Roy P. Stonesifer Jr. look  



beyond conventional historical inte

Sommario/riassunto

"The possibility of visiting the realms of the dead and yet returning alive is an idea that has fascinated people throughout time and across cultures. The European tradition goes back to Greek and Roman antiquity, represented by such famous round trips to Hades as those undertaken by Odysseus and Aeneas, but it is clear that the Graeco-Roman tradition had older Mesopotamian antecedents."--
