The Spanish Civil War and the British Labour Movement

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Buchanan, Tom, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, This book draws on a mass of documentary material to provide a major reinterpretation of British labour's response to the Spanish Civil War. It challenges the view that the labour leadership' betrayed' the Spanish Republic, and that this polarised the movement along left' versus 'right' lines. Instead, it argues that the overriding concern of the major leaders was to defend labour's institutional interests against the political destabilisation caused by the conflict, rather than to defend Spanish democracy. Although the main advocates of this position were trade union leaders associated with the labour right such as Walter Citrine and Ernest Bevin, the book argues that their dominance reflected the centrality of the trade unions to labour movement decision-making rather than the abuse of union power to achieve political goals.

The No-Nonsense Guide to HIV/AIDS

Already across Africa, Asia, and Latin America, HIV/AIDS threatens to erode fragile economies and set back development for decades.

This No-Nonsense Guide tells the story so far, looking at the origins of the disease, the way it spreads, the profits made by drug companies, the special vulnerability of women, and the positive action being taken by people and communities to fight back.

Roughshod Through Dixie: Grierson's Raid

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Lardas, Mark / Shumate, Johnny / Spedaliere, Donato, PUBLISHER: Osprey Publishing (UK), On April Benjamin Grierson led a force of Union cavalrymen across enemy lines into the Confederate-held Tennessee in a bold diversionary raid. Over the next seventeen days, Grierson's horsemen caused havoc by destroying railroad lines, attacking outposts, burning military stores and fighting numerous small actions, before breaking back through the lines at Baton Rouge. The raid was a tremendous success, not only by virtue of the destruction it caused, but also because the Confederates were forced to divert thousands of troops away from the front lines during General Grant's critical Vicksburg offensive. This book tells the complete story of one of the most daring Union raids of the war.

Must You Go?: My Life with Harold Pinter

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Fraser, Antonia, PUBLISHER: Doubleday Canada, THINGS FALL APART tells two overlapping, intertwining stories, both of which center around Okonkwo, a "strong man" of an Ibo village in Nigeria. The first of these stories traces Okonkwo's fall from grace with the tribal world in which he lives, and in its classical purity of line and economical beauty it provides us with a powerful fable about the immemorial conflict between the individual and society. The second story, which is as modern as the first is ancient, and which elevates the book to a tragic plane, concerns the clash of cultures and the destruction of Okonkwo's world through the arrival of aggressive, proselytizing European missionaries. These twin dramas are perfectly harmonized, and they are modulated by an awareness capable of encompassing at once the life of nature, human history, and the mysterious compulsions of the soul. THINGS FALL APART is the most illuminating and permanent monument we have to the modern African experience as seen from within.

A Journey Through Economic Time: A Firsthand View

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Galbraith, John Kenneth, PUBLISHER: Mariner Books, Now in paperback, Galbraith's eyewitness account of the economic trends, watersheds, and foibles of our time is one of his most popular and accessible books yet, translated into a dozen languages. From World War I and the Russian Revolution to the implications of communism's fall, from the "superbly insane decade of the twenties" and the Great Depression to the Reagan era and beyond, the renowned economist here exhibits unmatched wisdom and scope. Whether he is analyzing Keynesian theory or the end of colonialism, the forging of Kennedy's New Frontier, or the "unintended history of the s," this master narrator epitomizes the hindsight and the vision of one who actively influenced many of the events so colorfully chronicled here.

Torn Out by the Roots: The Recollections of a Former

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Vitzhum, Hilda / Vitzthum, Hilda / Schach, Paul, PUBLISHER: University of Nebraska Press, "The enemies of the people must be torn out by the roots," read a sign Hilda Vitzthum observed in a public building shortly before her arrest in . Her husband, a Russian engineer employed in the construction of a huge steelworks in western Siberia, was an "enemy of the people," a member of the educated classes that Stalin saw as a threat to his regime. Not only would he be a victim of Stalin's madness; his whole family must be destroyed. Even though Hilda was an Austrian and, like her husband, a loyal Communist, her children were taken from her and she was condemned to forced labor. "Torn Out by the Roots" is Hilda Vitzthum's chilling reminiscence of her nearly ten years in Soviet labor camps-of privations and horrors of overwhelming enormity, mitigated by occasional kindness and humanity. It is a harrowing and moving story, all the more so for its simplicity and matter-of-factness. Although Hilda Vitzthum was allowed to return to Austria in , she could not write about her experiences until the s. Before then, she says, "no one would have believed me if I had told the unvarnished truth." The dissolution of the Soviet Union compels us to record, so none may forget, the human cost of the Stalinist experiment.
