The Biopolitics of Care in Second World War Britain
Kimberly Mair, University of Lethbridge, Canada During the crisis of the Second World War in Britain, official Air Raid Precautions made the management of daily life a moral obligation of civil defence by introducing new prescriptions for the care of homes, animals, and persons displaced through evacuation. This book examines how the Mass-Observation movement recorded and shaped the logics of care that became central to those daily routines in homes and neighbourhoods.

Operation Crusader and the Desert War in British History and Memory
Jews in Nineteenth-Century Britain
Alexander Joffe, Independent Scholar
Alysa Levene, Oxford Brookes University, UK
“What is Failure? What is Loyalty?”
Using newly discovered evidence, Alexander Joffe rethinks Operation Crusader and the events that brought about the sudden relief of its commanding officer, including insubordination. He then discusses how narratives regarding the operation were created, were incorporated into British and Commonwealth official and unofficial historical writing about the war, and contributed to British historical memory. Based on a decade of archival work, the book presents a new and detailed analysis of a consequential battle and, importantly, of how its history was written and received in the context of post-war Britain.

Charity, Community and Religion, 1830-1880
This book examines Jewish communities in Britain in an era of immense social, economic and religious change: from the acceleration of industrialisation to the end of the first phase of large-scale Jewish immigration from Europe.
