AMONG THE WOLVES OF COURT NEW The Untold Story of Thomas and George Boleyn Lauren Mackay
The tragic story of Anne Boleyn has been retold over the centuries, yet two key figures in Anne’s life – her father Thomas and brother George – are often relegated to the margins of Henry VIII’s turbulent reign. Well before Anne’s coronation in 1533, Thomas was regarded as one of Henry’s most skilled and experienced ambassadors, and George was a talented young courtier on the rise. But Anne’s downfall was to have a devastating effect on her family – ultimately costing her and her brother their lives. This book follows the Boleyn men as they negotiated their way through the ruthless game of politics among the wolves of the court, and establishes their place in Tudor history. 312 PAGES 226X155MM SEPTEMBER 2018 9781788310437 HARDBACK £18.99/$25.00

NEW
The Revoluntionary Priest of Cyprus Demetrios Assos
A Family’s Journey Through Wartime Europe Sheila Rosenberg
6
In this first English language biography of one of the most important figures in modern Cypriot history, Demetris Assos shows how Makarios oscillated between his personal nationalist romantic idealism and the management of hard political realities on the ground, and argues a nuanced understanding of this ambivalence is crucial to contextualise and explain his actions.
6th September, 1942. A middle-aged Jewish refugee stands on the Swiss side of the Franco-Swiss border above Geneva. He has been living in Switzerland since he fled Vienna in November 1938, as the Nazi persecution of the city’s Jewish population intensified. He is now waiting for the arrival of the wife he has not seen for nearly four years. Against all odds he has managed to get an entry permit for her to join him in Switzerland. She appears on the French side.This book tells the story of the wartime journey of Toni Schiff, as she ventured across Europe to the Franco-Swiss border – and what happened next. Based on the extensive research of her daughter, Kindertransportee Hilda Schiff, and told by Sheila Rosenberg, this book tells a unique individual story of the Holocaust and sheds light on the lives of one family – caught up in, and ultimately separated, by the tragic and tumultuous events of World War II.

TEFFI
NEW
A Life of Letters and of Laughter Edythe Haber Harvard University
Teffi was one of twentieth century Russia’s most celebrated authors. Born Nadezhda Lokhvitskaya in 1872, she came to be admired by an impressive range of people – from Tsar Nicholas II to Lenin – and her popularity was such that sweets and perfume were named after her. After the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 she was exiled and lived out her days in the lively Russian émigré community of Paris, where she continued writing – and enjoying comparable fame – until her death in 1952. Teffi’s best stories effortlessly shift from light humour and satire to pathos and even tragedy – ever more so when depicting the daunting hardships she and her fellow émigrés suffered in exile. In the first biography of her in any language, Edythe Haber here brings Teffi – who has recently been ‘rediscovered’ in the West to resounding acclaim – to life. 312 PAGES 226X155MM SEPTEMBER 2018 9781788312585 HARDBACK £20.00/$30.00

The Politics of Football after Stalin Manfred Zeller, University of Bremen Following Stalin’s death in 1953, association football clubs, and the communities which developed around them, were an important way for the diverse citizens of the multinational Soviet Union to express, negotiate and develop their identities, both on individual and collective levels. Manfred Zeller draws on extensive original research to shed new light onto this phenomenon covering the period from the height of Stalin’s terror to the Soviet Union’s collapse. 336 PAGES 216X138MM SEPTEMBER 2018 9781788310154 HARDBACK £75.00/$110.00

SOMEONE ELSE’S WAR NEW
Fighting for the British Empire in World War I John Connor University of New South Wales, Canberra
Peter Hitchens
In the years since the declaration of peace in 1945 many myths have sprung up around the conflict in the victorious nations. In this book, Peter Hitchens deconstructs the many fables which have become associated with the narrative of the ‘Good War’. Whilst not criticising or doubting the need for war against Nazi Germany at some stage, Hitchens does query whether September 1939 was the right moment, or the independence of Poland the right issue. He points out that in the summer of 1939 Britain and France were wholly unprepared for a major European war and that this quickly became apparent in the conflict that ensued. He also rejects the retroactive claim that Britain went to war in 1939 to save the Jewish population of Europe. In a provocative, but deeplyresearched book, Hitchens questions the most common assumptions surrounding World War II, turning on its head the myth of Britain’s role in a ‘Good War’. 272 PAGES 216X135MM AUGUST 2018 9781788313292 HARDBACK £17.99/$29.50

THE WOMEN IN THE ROOM Labour’s Forgotten History NEW Nan Sloane
Foreword by Harriet Harman In February 1900 a group of men representing trade unionists, socialists, Fabians and Marxists gathered in London to make another attempt at establishing an organisation capable of getting working-class men elected to Parliament. The body they set up was the Labour Representation Committee; six years later when 29 of its candidates were elected to the House of Commons it changed its name to the Labour Party. No women took part in that first meeting, but several watched from the public gallery. Throughout Labour’s history, even in its earliest years, women were present in the room, but they were not always recorded or remembered. Women made real and substantial contributions to Labour’s earliest years and had a significant impact on the Party’s ability to attract and maintain women’s votes after World War I — this book tells their story. 288 PAGES 226X155MM SEPTEMBER 2018 9781788312233 HARDBACK £20.00/$29.00

Foreign Policy and Decision Making from Bush to Obama Sharifullah Dorani
US Mercenary Force in the Middle East Eric Covey, University of Miami We live in an age of proxy warfare across the Middle East, and of mercenary armies operating across Africa and on the fringes of Europe. America’s current foreign policy, or at least its representation in the media, seems to suggest there has been a deep and lasting conflict between the Islamic East and the West. This book seeks to trace the origins of this idea, by uncovering a new history of American mercenary ambitions in the late 18th Century through to the modern age. 288 PAGES 216X138MM SEPTEMBER 2018 9781788311618 HARDBACK £72.00/$99.00

IMAGES OF SEX WORK IN EARLY TWENTIETHCENTURY AMERICA Gender, Sexuality and Race in the Storyville Portraits NEW Mollie Le Veque, UEA
David L. Phillips Columbia University
The twentieth century saw dramatic changes in the once Kurd-dominated Kirkuk region of Iraq. Following the discovery of oil at Baba Gurgur in the 1920s, Kirkuk became a central priority for successive Iraqi rulers. In the 1970s and 1980s plans for Kirkuk to be the capital of an autonomous Iraqi Kurdistan were decimated by the Baathist regime’s Arabization programme which saw Arabs replacing the Kurds as the significant demographic majority. Despite having repeatedly relied on the Kurdish population of Iraq for military support, on three occasions the United States have abandoned their supposed allies in Kirkuk. The Great Betrayal provides a political and diplomatic history of the Kirkuk region and its international relations from the 1920s to the present day. David L. Phillips reveals the failings of America’s policies towards Kirkuk and the devastating effects of betraying an ally. 272 PAGES 216X135MM NOVEMBER 2018 9781788313971 HARDBACK £20.00/$28.00 e ebook available

For centuries the waters of the Red Sea have been amongst the most hazardous and feared in the world. Strong or erratic winds have taken lives and broken boats, smashed against rocks or hidden sandbars. Pirates too have menaced: some out for booty alone; others for slaves. Central to this archetypal and perilous maritime scene has been the dhow, the versatile sailing craft that survives to this day and that for many hundreds of years has linked the commercial and pilgrim centres of sea and desert. In his new book, Dionisius A Agius, one of the foremost scholars of Islamic material culture, offers a lucid and wide-ranging history of the iconic dhow from medieval to modern times. 304 PAGES 226X155MM NOVEMBER 2018 9781848858060 HARDBACK £25.00/$35.00

FRAGILE NATION, SHATTERED LAND NEW
The Modern History of Syria James Reilly University of Toronto
The Syrian state is less than 100 years old, born from the wreckage of World War I. Today it stands in ruins, shattered by brutal civil war. But how did the lands that are today Syria survive incorporation with the Ottoman Empire in the sixteenth century and the trials and vicissitudes of the Sultan’s rule for four centuries, only to collapse into civil war in recent years? In charting Syria’s history over the last five centuries in their entirety for the first time, James Reilly demonstrates the myriad historical, cultural, social, economic and political factors that bind Syrians together. Based on primary sources, recent historiography in English, French and Arabic and more than 30 years’ experience living and working in the region, this is the essential book for understanding modern Syria and the Middle East. 312 PAGES 226X155MM SEPTEMBER 2018 9781784539610 HARDBACK £25.00/$35.00

ISRAEL AND THE COLD WAR Diplomacy, Strategy and the Policy of the Periphery at the United Nations Howard A. Patten NEW IN PAPERBACK Following its creation in 1948, Israel was confronted with the challenge of establishing relations with key players in the Middle East, in the face of opposition from most of the Arab states. Patten explores the genesis and development of Israel’s foreign relations with Iran, Turkey and Ethiopia, known as the ‘Policy of the Periphery’. Based primarily on UN documents, this is a vital primary resource for those researching the period, as well as the formulation of foreign policy in the Middle East.

KEMALISM
Transnational Politics in the Post Ottoman World NEW Nathalie Clayer, Fabio Giomi and Emmanuel Szurek (Eds) EHESS, Paris
The founder of modern Turkey, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, came to power with a radical and wide-ranging programme of reforms, known collectively as Kemalism. This book argues that Kemalism can only be fully understood from a transnational perspective. Just as a uniquely national frame is not the only appropriate scale of analysis for shedding light on the process of the nationalization of societies and nationalism itself, the Turkish national lens is not necessarily the most adequate one for understanding the genesis and evolution of what Kemalism stood for from the early 1920s onward. Featuring case studies from across the former Ottoman Empire and using new primary source research, each chapter examines the different ways in which national borders refracted and transformed Kemalist ideology. 336 PAGES 216X138MM SEPTEMBER 2018 9781788313728 HARDBACK £75.00/$110.00

THE PROMISE
With her trademark wisdom and warmth, Xinran describes the lives and loves of this extraordinary family over four generations. What emerges is not only a moving, beautifully written and engaging story of four people and their lives, but a crucial portrait of social change in China. Xinran begins with the magic and tragedy of one young couple’s wedding night in 1950, and goes on to tell personal experiences of loss, grief and hardship through China’s extraordinary century. In doing so she tells a bigger story – how traditional Chinese values have been slowly eroded by the tide of modernity and how their outlooks on love, and the choices they’ve made in life, have been all been affected by the great upheavals of Chinese history. A spell-binding and magical narrative, this is the story of modern China through the people who lived through it, and the story of their love and loss. 288 PAGES 216X135MM NOVEMBER 2018 9781788313629 HARDBACK £17.99/$24.95

The Age of Decline and Revival (Vol 4) Christoph Baumer
9781788313513 HARDBACK £99.00/$135.00
For many years, Central Asia was the heartland of the mightiest military power on the planet. But after the fragmentation of the Mongol polity, the region began to decline. During the nineteenth century, the former territories of the great khans were overrun by Tsarist Russia. In the last volume of his acclaimed quartet, Christoph Baumer shows how China and Russia became the masters of their previous rulers. He suggests that, as traditional trade routes declined, it was the cold war between Imperial Russia and Great Britain which brought Central Asia back into play as a region of strategic importance. This epic history concludes with an assessment of the transition to independence of the Central Asian states and their struggle to contain radical Islamism. 384 PAGES 289X237MM APRIL 2018 9781788310499 HARDBACK £30.00/$39.50

Armenian national identity has long been associated with what has come to be known as the Armenian Genocide of 1915. Immersing the reader in the history, culture and politics of Armenia – from its foundations as the ancient kingdom of Urartu to the modernday Republic – Gaïdz Minassian moves past the massacres embedded in the Armenian psyche to position the nation within contemporary global politics. An in-depth study of history and memory, The Armenian Experience examines the characteristics of a national identity that spans the globe. Now, on Armenia’s 100th anniversary of its first assertion of independence in modern times, the author emphasises the need to recognise that the Armenian story began well before the Genocide of 1915, and continues as an on-going modern narrative. 336 PAGES 226X155MM DECEMBER 2018 9781788312240 HARDBACK £25.00/$35.00

Some fifty countries in Africa, the Middle East and Asia have been ravaged, at one time or another, by huge, devouring swarms of locusts. With the consequent, often total, destruction of crops and grazing, widespread hunger and starvation ensued. Colin Everard’s book takes as its geographical focus the Horn of Africa, an area which throughout history has suffered catastrophically from locust plagues. Everard describes one of the greatest triumphs of the twentieth century, namely, how the desert locust scourge has, at last, been virtually brought under control. 224 PAGES 216X138MM NOVEMBER 2018 9781788314350 HARDBACK £27.50/$55.00

A History
NEW IN PAPERBACK
John Binns University of Cambridge Surrounded by steep escarpments to the north, south and east, Ethiopia has always been geographically and culturally set apart. It is home to an ancient church with a remarkable legacy. The Church of Ethiopia is the only pre-colonial church in sub-Saharan Africa; today it has a membership of around forty million and is rapidly growing. This book is the first major study of a community which has developed a distinctive approach different from all other churches. John Binns explains how its special features have shaped the life of the Ethiopian people, and how political changes since the overthrow of Haile Selassie have forced the Church to rethink its identity and mission.
Ethiopia, legendary home of the Queen of Sheba who travelled to Jerusalem to meet Solomon, resting-place of the Ark of the Covenant and battleground of the great emperors from Ezana in the 4th century AD to Haile Selassie in modern times. Stuart Munro-Hay has produced the first truly comprehensive guide to the monuments of this beautiful, culture-steeped country.

MUGABE
A Life of Power and Violence NEW UPDATED EDITION
Stephen Chan SOAS, University of London
The Royal Navy’s Campaign against the Atlantic Slave Trade Peter Grindal
On 21st November 2017 Robert Mugabe resigned as President of Zimbabwe after 37 years in power. A week earlier the military had seized control of the country and forced him to step down as leader of the ruling Zanu-PF party. Stephen Chan seeks to explain and interpret Mugabe in his role as a key player in the politics of Southern Africa. In this masterly portrait of one of Africa’s longest-serving leaders, Mugabe’s character unfolds with the ebb and flow of triumph and crisis. Mugabe’s story is Zimbabwe’s – from the post-independence hopes of idealism and reconciliation to electoral victory, the successful intervention in the international politics of Southern Africa and the resistance to South Africa’s policy of apartheid. Stephen Chan’s highly revealing biography, based on close personal knowledge of Zimbabwe, depicts the emergence and eventual downfall of a ruthless and single-minded despot.

Nusantaria – often referred to as ‘Maritime Southeast Asia’ – is the world’s largest archipelago and has been a vital cultural and trading hub for centuries, encompassing the lands and shores created by the melting of the ice following the last Ice Age. These have long been primarily the domain of the Austronesian-speaking peoples and their seafaring traditions.The surrounding waters have always been uniquely important as a corridor connecting East Asia to India, the Middle East, Europe and Africa. In this book, Philip Bowring provides a history of the world’s largest and most important archipelago and its adjacent coasts. He tells the story of the peoples and lands located at this crucial maritime and cultural crossroads, from its birth following the last Ice Age to today.

When Italian Renaissance professor Allison Levy takes up residency in the palazzo of her dreams – the Palazzo Rucellai in Florence – she finds herself consumed by the space and swept into the vortex of its history. She spends every waking moment in dusty Florentine libraries and exploring the palazzo’s myriad rooms seeking to uncover its secrets. As she unearths the stories of those who have lived behind its celebrated façade, she discovers that it has been witness to weddings, suicides, orgies and even a murder. Entwining Levy’s own experiences with the ghosts of the Palazzo Rucellai’s past, House of Secrets paints a scintillating portrait of a family, a palace and one of the most iconic cities in the world. 248 PAGES 226X155MM DECEMBER 2018 9781788313605 HARDBACK £17.99/$25.00

The Life of Vita Sackville-West
Victoria Glendinning English PEN and the Royal Society of Literature Vita Sackville-West was a vital, gifted and complex woman. A dedicated writer, she made her mark as poet, novelist, biographer, travel writer, journalist and broadcaster. She was also one of the most influential English gardeners of the century, creating with her husband the famous gardens at Sissinghurst. In her Whitbread Prize-winning biography, Glendinning documents Vita’s extraordinary life, focusing on her relationships with Violet Trefusis, Virginia Woolf, her husband, and her two sons — together with her unpublicised love affairs. Vita was determined to be more than just a married woman and mother; her passionate, secretive character, and the strains, mistakes and achievements of her remarkable life makes this an absorbing book. 480 PAGES 198X129MM AUGUST 2018 9781788312431 PAPERBACK £11.99/$19.00 TAURIS PARKE PAPERBACKS

A Literary Guide for Travellers Marcel Krueger
As much shaped by storytelling as it is by tectonic activity, Iceland’s literary heritage is one of Europe’s richest – and most ancient. Its stories have been passed down through the generations. From the captivating Norse myths, which continue to inspire contemporary authors such as A.S. Byatt, to gripping Scandinavian crime fiction and Game of Thrones, via Jules Verne and J.R.R Tolkien, W.H. Auden and Seamus Heaney, Iceland’s influence has spread far beyond its frozen shores. Taking the reader and traveller from Reykjavik and the Bay of Smokes to the remote Westfjords and desolate highlands, this is an enthralling portrait of the Land of Ice and Fire.
City of outlandish cathedrals, eccentric parks and atmospheric barrios, Barcelona is alive with the ghosts of those it has inspired; from Cervantes and Zafon, Gaudí and Miró, to Auden and Orwell. Barcelona is synonymous with literature, art and creativity. This book takes the reader on a dynamic journey into the imaginations of over 50 iconic writers, to the heart of a city that distills the essence of Catalonia. 272 PAGES 198X129MM OCTOBER 2018 9781788311229 HARDBACK £16.99/$25.00

A Life of Ernest Hemingway Richard Bradford University of Ulster Ernest Hemingway was an involuntary chameleon, who would shift seamlessly from a self-cultivated image of hero, aesthetic radical, and existential non-conformist to a figure made up at various points of selfishness, hypocrisy, self-delusion, narcissism and arbitrary vindictiveness. Richard Bradford shows that Hemingway’s work is by parts erratic and unique because it was tied into these unpredictable, bizarre features of his personality. 352 PAGES 216X135MM OCTOBER 2018 9781788311588 HARDBACK £20.00/$30.00

A Biography of Vivien Leigh NEW Alan Strachan
Vivien Leigh was perhaps the most iconic actress of the twentiethcentury. As Scarlett O’Hara and Blanche Du Bois she took on some of the most pivotal roles in cinema history. Yet she was also a talented theatre actress with West End and Broadway plaudits to her name. In this ground-breaking new biography, Alan Strachan provides a completely new full-life portrait of Leigh, covering both her professional and personal life. Using previouslyunseen sources from her archive, recently acquired by the V&A, he sheds new light on her fractious relationship with Laurence Olivier, based on their letters and diaries, as well as on the bipolar disorder which so affected her later life and work. Revealing new aspects of her early life as well as providing glimpses behind-the-scenes of the filming of Gone with the Wind and A Streetcar Named Desire, this book provides the essential and comprehensive life-story of one of the twentieth century’s greatest actresses. 336 PAGES 226X155MM OCTOBER 2018 9781788312080 HARDBACK £25.00/$28.00

STAIRWAYS TO HEAVEN
We live in a secular world and cinema is part of that secular edifice. There is no expectation, in modern times, that filmmakers should be believers.Yet for all that this is true, many of the greatest directors of classic European cinema were passionately interested not only in the spiritual life but in the complexities of religion itself. In his elegantly written new book Mark Le Fanu examines religion, and specifically Christianity. e

In the late 1960s and 1970s America was a maelstrom of violence and unrest. Protestors surged onto the streets and abroad the country was embroiled in Vietnam. This discontent sparked Nancy Spero’s most blatantly political work and her pieces began to represent a wider rejection of American military aggression overseas and social injustice at home. Spero wanted to explore how politics felt and in this book, Rachel Warriner concludes that it was painful.Warriner devotes each chapter to a single work or series of works and traces how the concept of pain evolved through this period of Spero’s oeuvre.
