Customer Reviews

"In the Beginning..." is a lucid and entertaining history.

Hoskins' book is engaging and enjoyable for the history buff, although if your looking for a lot of politically correct pablum this book isn't for you because it deals with some subjects that aren't always understood. "In the Beginning..." is written in an easy to follow manner and covers ancient religions and characters, tying them in with the international trade cartel (ITC). Hoskins focuses on the teachings of Hinduism and how they influenced religious and international trade policies down to the present day. Overall it's an excellent and uncommon historical account.

The International Trade Cartel

For those who seek a greater understanding of global governance and the machinations of the International Trade Cartel, this book is a Must Read!In it Hoskins displays a brilliant comparison to the Russia under Soviet rule and the feudal Russia of old - the names and faces were changed, but it remained the same with the near totality of the populace remaining mere serfs.From the very start, Hoskins captivates your attention, with this opening passage:"In the Holy Land during the Wars of the Crusades, crusaders defended a seaport being besieged by Muslims. The seige had lasted almost a year. The fighting had been violent, many had died. Suddenly, trumpets sounded. Instantly the fighting stopped. A camel train appeared, one camel plodding along in front of the next - a long line stretching back into the distance. The Arab armies parted; the gates to the city opened, the drawbridges dropped. One after another, camel after camel - an endless chain of camels plodded into the city. Two thousand of them. It was a smaller camel train, all that was left of 20,000 animals that had arrived at a terminal city inland and been divided into smaller trains and sent on to their final destinations. On the back of each animal rested a cargo so precious that it could have made a man rich for life - if he could but seize it. But few tried. Those who tried and failed were punished with a painful death. Once in the city the camel drivers directed their charges through twisting, narrow streets down to the harbor. There their cargoes were off-loaded by sweating stevedores who re-loaded them on waiting Christian ships . . . As soon as the last ship had departed, the Saracen ships re-established their blockade, the camels departed, the gates closed, the drawbridge raised, and arrows began to fly and large rocks again were catapulted against enemies as the fighting recommenced."
