Imagining Nuclear War in the British Army, 1945-1989
by Moody, Simon J.       
(Hardcover - English - 9780198846994)
The primary mission assigned to the British Army from the 1950s until the end of the Cold War was deterring Soviet aggression in Europe by demonstrating the will and capability to fight with nuclear weapons in defence of NATO territory. This 'surreal' mission was unlike any other in history, and raised a number of conceptual and practical difficulties. This comprehensive study observes how the British Army imagined nuclear war, and how it planned to fight it. Using new archival sources, Simon J. Moody analyses British thinking about tactical nuclear weapons, the role of the Army within NATO strategy, the development of theories of tactical nuclear warfare, how n ..

Once More to the Sky: The Rebuilding of the World Trade Center
by Raab, Scott    Woolhead, Joe   
(Hardcover - English - 9781982176143)
The powerful story of the rebuilding of the World Trade Center, featuring dozens of never-before-seen color photos by the official site photographer. In late 2014, One World Trade Center--or the Freedom Tower--opened for business. It took nearly ten years, cost roughly four billion dollars, and required the sweat, strength, and stamina of hundreds of construction workers, digging deep below the earth's surface and dangling high in the air. It suffered setbacks that would've most likely scuttled any other project, including the ousting of a famed architect, the relocation of the building's footprints due to security reasons, and the internecine feuding of vario ..

Thoughts For A New Century: Columns 1999-2018
by Brunswick, Cary       
(Paperback - English - 9781513657769)
Many of the newspaper columns in this collection focus on the leadership and issues involved in the decline of our American "exceptionalism" since the beginning of the new century. Our society is changing, our values are changing and our ability to deal with the economy, the environment, and social issues is compromised by the infighting in Washington. We may have the power, but our riches are more and more concentrated in the hands of the rich, as the middle classes struggle to recover from the 2008 economic crash, and now the global pandemic. Our wars in the Middle East continue. And, as we all know, our own government still is violating our civil rights. ..

Self Defence For The Individual: Combatives Manual From 1919 - Original Edition with Illustrations
by Sandow, Billy C.       
(Paperback - French - 9798585365928)
br Original reissue of this manual of close combat of 1919. Excerpt from the book: " It has been necessary to revise my book on In-fighting for the U. S. Army, which was published as a text on the subject at Camp Dix, N. J., in order to have it conform to the needs of the civilian as a means of self-defense against the thug or thief. That a practical method of self-defense for civilians serves a need is a well-established fact. And that the system best adapted to one's need should be other than a knowledge of the so-called manly art of self-defense, or boxing, is one of the lessons learned from this great war." ..

Suicide Voices: Labour Trauma in France
by Waters, Sarah       
(Hardcover - English - 9781789622232)
This book examines the phenomenon of work suicides in France and asks why, in the present historical juncture, conditions of work can push individuals to take their own lives. During the 2000s, France experienced what commentators have described as a 'suicide epidemic', whereby increasing numbers of workers in the face of extreme pressures of work, chose to take their own lives. This book analyses a corpus of testimonial material linked to 66 suicide cases across three large French companies during the period from 2005 to 2015. A key aim is to consider what the extreme and subjective experiences of self-killing narrated in suicide letters can tell us about the c ..
