Jonathan Glover - Humanity, A Moral History of the Twentieth Century (2001).jpg

In Humanity, English ethicist Jonathan Glover begins with the now commonplace observation that the last 100 years were perhaps the most brutal in all history. But the problem wasn't that human nature suddenly took a sharp turn for the worse: "It is a myth that barbarism is unique to the twentieth century: the whole of human history includes wars, massacres, and every kind of torture and cruelty," he writes. Technology has made a huge difference, but psychology has remained the same and this is what Glover seeks to examine, through discussions of Nietzsche, the My Lai atrocity in Vietnam, Hiroshima, tribal genocide in Rwanda, Stalinism, Nazism, and so on.

There is much history here, but Humanity is fundamentally a book of philosophy. In his first chapter, for instance, Glover announces his goal "to replace the thin, mechanical psychology of the Enlightenment with something more complex, something closer to reality." But he also seeks "to defend the Enlightenment hope of a world that is more peaceful and more humane, the hope that by understanding more about ourselves we can do something to create a world with less misery." The result is an odd combination of darkness and light--darkness because the subject matter of the 20th century's moral failings is so bleak, light because of Glover's earnest optimism, which insists that "keeping the past alive may help to prevent atrocities." He cites Stalin's bracing comment, made while signing death warrants: "Who's going to remember all this riff-raff in ten or twenty years' time? No one." At one level, Humanity is a book of remembrance. But it's more than that: it's also an attempt to understand what it is in the human mind that makes moral disaster always loom and a prayer that this aspect of our psychology might be better controlled.

John Miles Foley - A Companion to Ancient Epic (20 05).jpg

Epic was the master-genre of the ancient world: it was central to group identity, education, literature, and culture. Yet modern understanding of ancient epic is not static, and scholarship over the last few decades has transformed the ways that we conceive of and understand the genre, introducing topics such as the role of women, the history of reception, and comparison with living analogues from oral tradition.

Egyptian mummies have always aroused popular and scientific interest; however, most modern studies, although significantly increased in number and range, have been published in specialist journals. Now, this unique book, written by a long-established team of scientists based at the University of Manchester (England), brings this exciting, cross-disciplinary area of research to a wider readership.

Hansgeorg Jentschura, Dieter Jung, Peter Mickel - Warships of the Imperial Japanese Navy 1869-1945 ( 1986).jpg

The origin of this book, and the gathering of material to he used for it, goes back over thirty years. The idea was that of Erich Grdner, historian of the German navy, and author of Die Deutschen Kriegschiffe, I HI5-1945, (Lehmanns, Munich).
In October 1942, thanks to a special request by Hitler, the German Naval Attache in Tokyo, Admiral Wenneker, was permitted to pay a short visit of inspection to a Yamalo class "super-dreadnought" in a dockyard, and then to cable a very detailed description of the ship to Berlin. On 22nd August 1943, Grdner was shown this report at the Fiihrer HQ for the purpose of interpretation and preparation of a design sketch drawing, under security supervision. Later, at the time of the collapse of the Third Reich, he rescued a copy of this sketch intending to use it as the frontispiece in a volume on Japanese warships. And after the war, hoping to put his plan into practice, Grdner embarked on an enthusiastic exchange of material with Shizuo Fukui, a Japanese naval constructor who planned similar publications in Japan.
Following Grdner's death, we decided to follow up the project. As Peter Mickel had already drawn a large number of plans of Japanese warships and discussed them with Grdner, continuity in this respect seemed assured. In the completion of this enormous task, he was later joined by F. Mrva. to whom special thanks are due for his utterly reliable assistance.
The task of preparing the text was undertaken by Hansgeorg Jentschura and Dieter Jung in the face of considerable difficulties. Original documents were not available for research, enquiries could not be made of individuals involved and no visits could be made to builders. Particular attention was paid to problems arising from varying transcriptions of Japanese characters — and which have led to the appearance in many publications of "phantom" ships. We give our heartfelt thanks to Dr. Wolfram Miiller-Yokota of the University of Bochum for his help in clarifying these anomalies.

George Nafziger - Imperial Bayonets, Tactics of th e Napoleonic Battery, Battalion and Brigade As Fou nd in Contemporary Regulations (1996).jpg

Historia2 - George Nafziger - Imperial Bayonets, Tactics of the Na... and Brigade As Found in Contemporary Regulations 1996.jpg

George Nafziger has written an excellent reference book that highlights the drill regulations of the various nations that fought in the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. It is well-researched, thorough, and is an indispensable reference for historians, enthusiasts, wargamers, and those that just like to play with their toy and model soldiers, or enjoy making model dioramas and vignettes.
Profusely illustrated with clear and concise diagrams of the various formations and maneuvers, the author skillfully leads the reader through the various evolutions troops would use on the battlefield. One that was particularly useful for me was seeing how the difficult passage of lines was done, which is one of the maneuvers Marshal Lannes executed at Jena under fire, which was no mean effort, being one of the hardest to execute, especially in the middle of a hard fight.
The bibliography is complete and very helpful, and this is a handy reference that needs to be at your side as you make your way through the various histories of the period.
This book is much more accurate and useful than Brent Nosworthy's With Musket, Cannon, and Sword, and the author is much more at home with his subject, and better versed in it than Mr. Nosworthy.
Faults and/or errors are few and far between. One minor annoyance was the author's tendency to use the term 'converged' instead of either 'provisional' or 'composite' for temporary units used either for a certain amount of time, or those utilized for a special mission, such as making a provisional battalion out of the grenadier companies of several battalions and/or regiments. 'Converged' is not a military term , while 'provisional' and 'composite' are. One suspects 'converged' is a wargaming term that has evolved through that particular genre.
This very important work is vital for understanding the drill and maneuvers on the tactical level for the armies of the period described. It is a must for historians and enthusiasts, and belongs on every Napoleonic buff's bookshelf.

Steven Patterson - The Cult of Imperial Honor in B ritish India (2009).jpg

What was imperial honor and how did it sustain the British Raj? If “No man may harm me with impunity” was an ancient theme of the European aristocracy, British imperialists of almost all classes in India possessed a similar vision of themselves as overlords belonging to an honorable race, so that ideals of honor condoned and sanctified their rituals, connecting them with status, power, and authority. Honor, most broadly, legitimated imperial rule, since imperialists ostensibly kept India safe from outside threats. Yet at the individual level, honor kept the “white herd” together, providing the protocols and etiquette for the imperialist, who had to conform to the strict notions of proper and improper behavior in a society that was always obsessed with maintaining its dominance over India and Indians. Examining imperial society through the prism of honor therefore opens up a new methodology for the study of British India.

Andrew G. Bonnell - The People's Stage in Imperial Germany, Social Democracy and Culture 1890-1914 ( 2005).jpg

The clash between German Social Democracy--the party, intellectuals and workers--and the German Imperial State was played out in the Freie Volksbahne (Free People's Theatre) founded by intellectuals to energise working class political awareness of drama with a political and social cutting edge. It fell foul of state censorship, lost its bite, yet prospered.
