Автор: Bahar Jalali Название: Democracy in Afghanistan: The Golden Era of Reform and the Roots of Modern Conflict ISBN: 1784538280 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781784538286 Издательство: Bloomsbury Academic Рейтинг: Цена: 76030.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: The decade of democratic reforms in Afghanistan, 1963-1973, is often viewed as a 'golden era' of stability and progress. Bahar Jalali demonstrates, however, that the roots of Afghanistan's turbulent recent history can be traced back to precisely this period. It was at this time that the swift implementation - and ultimately failure - of progressive reforms gave rise to extremist ideologies that would go on to become politically dominant over the next three decades. The initial promise of liberalisation and modernisation in 1963 quickly unravelled in the face of inter-elite competition, factions within the royal family, practical paradoxes in the constitution and the growth of oppositional movements (namely communists and Islamists) out of sync with the state's rhetoric. By tracking this period in detail for the first time, Jalali establishes exactly why the last three decades of conflict in Afghanistan can be said to have their roots in this formative period, and demonstrates the importance of recognising this today.In work based on primary sources, interviews with key figures (including the royal family and the former king), and work in contemporary Afghanistan, Jalali raises timely questions regarding the politics and impact of Western-authored democratic reforms and addresses various historiographical and contemporary misconceptions. Democracy in Afghanistan is essential reading for all scholars interested in the political, diplomatic and internal struggles of an embattled Afghanistan, and its future.

Описание: Iran's Revolutionary Guards are one of the most important forces in the Middle East today. As the appointed defender of Iran's revolution, the Guards have evolved into a pillar of the Islamic Republic and the spearhead of its influence. Their sway has spread across the Middle East, where the Guards have overseen loyalist support to Bashar al-Assad in Syria and been a staunch backer in Iraq's war against ISIS-bringing its own troops, Lebanon's Hezbollah, and Shiite militias to the fight. Links to terrorism, human rights abuses, and the suppression of popular democracy have shrouded the Revolutionary Guards in controversy. In spite of their prominence, the Guards remain poorly understood to outside observers. In Vanguard of the Imam, Afshon Ostovar has written the first comprehensive history of the organization. Situating the rise of the Guards in the larger contexts of Shiite Islam, modern Iranian history, and international affairs, Ostovar takes a multifaceted approach in demystifying the organization and detailing its evolution since 1979. Politics, power, and religion collide in this story, wherein the Revolutionary Guards transform from a rag-tag militia established in the midst of revolutionary upheaval into a military and covert force with a global reach. The Guards have been fundamental to the success of the Islamic revolution. The symbiotic relationship between them and Iran's clerical rulers underpins the regime's nearly unshakeable system of power. The Guards have used their privileged position at home to export Iran's revolution beyond its borders, establishing client armies in their image and extending Iran's strategic footprint in the process. Ostovar tenaciously documents the Guards' transformation into a power-player and explores why the group matters now more than ever to regional and global affairs. The book simultaneously serves as a history of modern Iran, and provides a crucial and engrossing entryway into the complex world of war, politics, and identity in the Middle East.

Описание: Connecticut privateer Nathaniel Fanning (1755-1805) was captured by the British during the Revolutionary War.

This new edition of Fanning`s memoir provides a vivid account of wartime peril and hardship at sea.
My book is a memoir and a manifesto: it tells of my experiences during the Vietnam years, when I refused to fight and went to Canada instead. I became a leader of the movement for unconditional amnesty. Then it covers my struggles from 1975 to the present, focusing on anti-imperialism, and on the Green New Deal - a program to save the planet.
I describe the challenges of forging a new life in Canada, explaining the differing challenges faced by middle class draft resisters, and working class military resisters. I describe the long campaign for universal, unconditional amnesty, culminating in the nomination of a war resister for vice president at the 1976 Democratic National Convention in New York - reaching about 60 million people on live TV.
Part 2 begins with a bottle of champagne I bought on April 30, 1975, when Vietnam's liberation forces marched triumphantly into Saigon. I explain how I figured it would stimulate more revolutions across the globe. I tell about my visit to witness Portugal's 1975 revolution, and of my three-year sojourn with the Sandinistas, personalizing it with my own experiences and perceptions.
I relate my experience with the South Bronx Community Congress during the Obama years: a coalition that held annual People's Assemblies and mounted struggles against workplace racism, poverty and violence. I tell how these campaigns in 2011 became part of a citywide movement against budget cuts in New York, with large labor marches downtown and an occupation of the state capitol in Albany, leading to the "Bloombergville" encampment near NYC City Hall, which in turn stimulated Occupy Wall Street: a mass outpouring of "the 99%" that spread across the country.
Part 3 is a celebration of the Green New Deal: an answer to the threat of extinction posed by the climate change emergency. The beauty of the Green New Deal is its resolution to change everything. To transform our economy to renewable energy we must harness and mobilize people power, determined to transform government itself. Working people will need to take over.

Название: Warfare in the Age of Napoleon-Volume 1: The Revolutionary Wars Against the First Coalition in Northern Europe and the Italian Campaign, 1789-1797 ISBN: 0857065971 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780857065971 Издательство: Неизвестно Рейтинг: Цена: 51810.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: The first volume of a major work on warfare in the Napoleonic age The author of this substantial multi-volume history, Theodore A Dodge, was not only an historian of stature and note but also a soldier. He wrote several well regarded histories of the campaigns and battles of the Civil War and other works of military history. Perhaps his most outstanding achievement was a series of books, published under the umbrella title 'the Art of War, ' focusing on different historical periods as typified by their most notable military commanders-including the campaigns of Alexander, Hannibal and Caesar in the ancient world and the wars of the 17th and 18th century as fought by great captains including Gustavus Adolphus, Frederick and Marlborough. This volume is part of his in depth study of the Napoleonic period, which in its entirety was comprised of four huge volumes that benefited from the inclusion of almost 800 small scale uniform drawings, portraits of notable personalities and numerous theatre, campaign and battlefield maps. This retitled Leonaur edition has been revised to form volumes of approximately equal size reformatted to enable us to enlarge all the illustrations and maps for the benefit of the reader. This series is an excellent history of the campaigns and battles of the Napoleonic Age but it goes far beyond the historical record. Dodge critically examines the strategies and tactics of all the military commanders in such a clear and authoritative manner that the student of military history can clearly understand the errors of those about to suffer defeat and the expertise-or in the case of Napoleon Bonaparte, the military genius-of the victors. This is an invaluable guide to warfare in the age of Napoleon and is highly recommended. In this first in the series Dodge considers the beginning of the Revolutionary Wars and the structures, tactics and strategies of those who fought them. The Siege of Toulon and the campaigns in Italy are covered in detail including notable engagements at Castiglione, Arcole, Rivoli and others. This volume concludes as the war turns to Massena's campaign in Austria. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.

An authoritative new history and analysis of the Wright Brothers' pioneering aircraft, from their triumph in 1903, through their string of achievements in the next decade, to their eclipse in the 1910s.
Orville and Wilbur Wright, two bicycle-making brothers from Dayton, Ohio, secured their place as the most famous names in aviation history when, on December 17, 1903, they made the first powered, controlled, and sustained heavier-than-air flight. But their success over the cold and windswept Carolina dunes that day has overshadowed their many other accomplishments before and after that historic flight. The Wrights' progression from theory to analysis to ground-testing components and wing shapes, and to then flight-testing kites, gliders, and their first powered aeroplane, marked the world's first successful "X-Plane" research and development program. They established a template all subsequent aircraft have followed, one still relevant in the era of hypersonic flight and drone research.
This book traces the Wright Brothers' story, from their first success on that cold December day throughout their glory years to their eventual eclipse by other aviators. It explores in detail the process that lead them to their pioneering craft and their many subsequent achievements over the following years, and highlights their enduring importance in the age of modern flight.
