Although the Chinese contribution to Allied victory in World War II is often ignored, China fought the Japanese Empire for far longer than any other belligerent nation. By the time that the Sino-Japanese War became absorbed into the wider conflict at the end of 1941, Chinese armies had already suffered huge casualties and half the country had been lost. By fighting on with Allied support, China tied down a million Japanese troops. After Japan’s defeat in 1945, China was immediately plunged back into civil war between Chiang Kai-shek’s Nationalists and Mao Tse-tung’s Communists; and the latter’s victory in 1949 changed the world for the rest of the 20th century and beyond.

Osprey - Men-at-Arms 421 - Ian Heath - The Sikh Ar my 1799-1849 (2005).jpg

The beginning of the 19th century saw the rise of a remarkable Sikh leader in the Punjab province of north-west India. Unifying the feudal rulers under his authority, the conquering Maharaja Ranjit Singh pursued campaigns of expansion for nearly 40 years, creating for the purpose a new regular army on the Western model. His death in 1839 found the frontiers of Sikh and British power in confrontation; in the 1840s the inevitable trial of strength brought British crown and East India Company troops into battle against the most formidable Indian army they ever faced. Its story is told here in fascinating detail, illustrated with rare early paintings and with colourful reconstructions of Punjabi regular soldiers and feudal warriors.

Jorgen Laessoe - People of Ancient Assyria (1963).jpg

AS Assyria merely a more brutal, more uncivilized and less interesting offshoot of the culture created by Sumerians and
Babylonians in Southern Mesopotamia at the dawn of history? Do the countless Assyrian reliefs that fill our museums give a
complete picture of the phenomenon that was Assyria? Was the contribution of this people to world culture merely an
incredibly effective military organization? Is it a true picture of Assyria that the reliefs and annals give us, with their
presentation of war chariots, archers, battering-rams surrounding besieged cities, the punishment of prisoners of war, and the
triumphal march of the Assyrian army through the realms of the Near East? Have we no evidence of the human element behind
this phenomenon? How far may we rely on the Biblical descriptions of the cruelty of the Assyrian armies and the depravity of
Assyrian cities? How are we, who can look back on the incredible events of the European wars of religion, on the conduct of
Europeans towards the Indians of America, and on man's recent treatment of his fellow-man, to judge these Assyrians?

H WF Saggs - Everyday Life in Babylonia and Assyri a (1965).jpg

THE way of life with which this book deals flourished for 2000 years of the most formative period of human history,
and it would require far more than the space available even touch upon every significant aspect of this subject. I have
there,-e had to confine myself to a more modest task. What I have empted has been to give an introduction to the
subject by a sketch Babylonian and Assyrian life at a few key-points, seen in the context of the historical setting.
I need hardly point out to my professional colleagues that this ok is not written for them; therefore, if, in using the
original sources, I have chosen, for the sake of English idiom, to translate a singular by a plural, or to alter a tense, I
trust they will not turn and rend me. My main purpose will be served if I succeed in convincing some of my readers,
amongst the many now interested in ancient world, that Babylonian and Assyrian civilisation is not wholly alien to our
own.
Although I have been able in many cases to suggest sources for illustrations, the credit and responsibility for the final
selection and treatment of the illustrations belong, not to me as author, but to the talented artist, Mrs H. Fairfield, and
to Mr P. Kemmis Bet

Marcus Wood - Slavery, Empathy, and Pornography (2 003).jpg

This study considers the operations of slavery and of abolition propaganda on the thought and literature of England from the late-eighteenth to the mid-nineteenth centuries. Incorporating materials ranging from canonical literatures to the lowest form of street publication, Marcus Wood writes from the conviction that slavery was, and still is, a dilemma for everyone in England, and seeks to explain why English society has constructed Atlantic slavery in the way it has.

All History - Michael F. Hopkins, Michael D. Kandiah, Gillian Staer...Cold War Britain 1945-1964, New Perspectives 2003_cr.jpg

Cold War Britain 1945-1964 offers new perspectives on ways in which Britain fought the Cold War, and illuminates key areas of the policy formulation process. It argues that in many ways Britain and the US perceived and handled the threat posed by the Communist bloc in similar terms: nevertheless, Britain's continuing global commitments, postwar economic problems and domestic considerations obliged her on occasion to tackle the threat rather differently.

E. E. Kuzmina - The Prehistory of the Silk Road (2 007).jpg

In ancient and medieval times, the Silk Road was of great importance to the transport of peoples, goods, and ideas between the East and the West. A vast network of trade routes, it connected the diverse geographies and populations of China, the Eurasian Steppe, Central Asia, India, Western Asia, and Europe. Although its main use was for importing silk from China, traders moving in the opposite direction carried to China jewelry, glassware, and other exotic goods from the Mediterranean, jade from Khotan, and horses and furs from the nomads of the Steppe. In both directions, technology and ideologies were transmitted. The Silk Road brought together the achievements of the different peoples of Eurasia to advance the Old World as a whole.The majority of the Silk Road routes passed through the Eurasian Steppe, whose nomadic people were participants and mediators in its economic and cultural exchanges. Until now, the origins of these routes and relationships have not been examined in great detail. In The Prehistory of the Silk Road, E. E. Kuzmina, renowned Russian archaeologist, looks at the history of this crucial area before the formal establishment of Silk Road trade and diplomacy. From the late Neolithic period to the early Bronze Age, Kuzmina traces the evolution of the material culture of the Steppe and the contact between civilizations that proved critical to the development of the widespread trade that would follow, including nomadic migrations, the domestication and use of the horse and the camel, and the spread of wheeled transport.The Prehistory of the Silk Road combines detailed research in archaeology with evidence from physical anthropology, linguistics, and other fields, incorporating both primary and secondary sources from a range of languages, including a vast accumulation of Russian-language scholarship largely untapped in the West. The book is complemented by an extensive bibliography that will be of great use to scholars.

Harry G. Gelber - Opium, Soldiers and Evangelicals (2004).jpg

This book questions the universal belief that England's 1840-42 war with China was an "Opium War." What really worried London was "insults to the crown," the claim of a dilapidated and corrupt China to be superior to everyone, threats to British men and women and seizure of British property, plus the wish to expand and free trade everywhere. It was only much later that general Chinese resentment and Evangelical opinion at home - and in America - persuaded everyone that Britain had indeed been wicked and fought for opium.

Guntram Henrik Herb - Under The Map Of Germany, Na tionalism and Propaganda 1918-1945 (1996).jpg

At the close of First World War, propaganda mapping played a crucial role in the creation of a consensus about German national territory. Under the Map of Germany provides a detailed analysis of the history and techniques of mapping in inter-war Germany. Using extensive archival documentation--including many previously undiscovered maps--to chart the development of alternative concepts of national territory brought about during the Weimar Republic, the author reveals how an effective propaganda mapping network had been established and a consensus reached about the extent of the Greater German nation before the rise of Nazism. Challenging the belief that national self-determination is a just cause, Under the Map of Germany reveals that national territories are not tangible entities that can be clearly delimited, but are artificial constructs open to a wide range of interpretations.

Censorship and Common Sense in Fascist Italy, 1922-43 is the first comprehensive account of the diversity and complexity of censorship practices in Italy under the Fascist dictatorship. By presenting archival material from the political police; the Italian military; the Prime Minister's press office, and its subsequent incarnation, the Ministry for Popular Culture, it shows how practices of censorship were used to effect regime change, to measure and to shape public opinion, behavior and attitudes in the twenty years of Mussolini's dictatorship.

Michael Paris - Warrior Nation (2002).jpg

War has been a central component of British cultural history since 1850. War reporting and mass communications have created a society fascinated by conflict, brought up with tales of epic adventure and mass-produced images of martial heroes. To achieve national goals, the notion of war has been promoted as an activity of chivalrous enterprise and as a rite of passage to manhood. Warrior Nation explores the ways in which images of battle have been constructed in popular British culture since 1850, focusing on how war has been "sold" to boys and young men and examining the "warrior" as a masculine ideal.

Philippa Levine - The British Empire, Sunrise to S unset (2007).jpg

Violent, powerful, vast: the British Empire is typically viewed as distant and tropical. By contrast, this book examines the effects of the empire on men, women and children across the globe: both those under imperial rule and those who implemented it. Looking beyond politics and diplomacy, Philippa Levine combines a traditional approach to colonial history with an investigation of the experience of living within the empire. Spanning the period from Cromwell's rule to decolonization in the late twentieth century, and including an extensive chronology for ease of reference, Levine considers the impact of British rule for people in Africa, India and Australia, as well as for the English rulers, and for the Welsh, Scots and Irish who were subject to 'internal colonialism' under the English yoke. Imperialism often led to serious unrest; Levine examines the cruel side of imperialism's purportedly 'civilizing' mission unflinchingly.

Enver Redzic - Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Secon d World War (2005).jpg

Five major groups fought one another in Bosnia and Herzegovina during the Second World War: The German and Italian occupiers, the Serbian Chetniks, the Ustasha of the Independent State of Croatia, the Bosnian Muslims, and the Tito-led Partisans. The aims, policies, and actions of each group are examined in light of their own documents and those of rival groups. This work shows how the Partisans prevailed over other groups because of their ideological appeal, superior discipline, and success in winning the support of large numbers of uncommitted Bosnians, particularly the Bosnian Muslims.

Greg Kennedy - Imperial Defence, 1856-1956, The Ol d World Order (2007).jpg

This new collection of essays, from leading British and Canadian scholars, presents an excellent insight into the strategic thinking of the British Empire. It defines the main areas of the strategic decision-making process that was known as 'Imperial Defence'. The theme is one of imperial defence and defence of empire, so chapters will be historiographical in nature, discussing the major features of each key component of imperial defence, areas of agreement and disagreement in the existing literature on critical interpretations, introducing key individuals and positions and commenting on the appropriateness of existing studies, as well as identifying a raft of new directions for future research.
