11A RCHAEOLOGY & A NCIENT H ISTORY
Supplements to the Memoirs of the American Academy in Rome Takes a new approach to the study of archaeological remains of ancient religions. Focusing on the materiality of ritual allows for a novel vantage point from which to consider ancient religious practices, as well as an important counterbalance to more traditional conceptual perspectives.

The US is generally considered to have entered the war against Japan after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Yet, did this conflict actually originate decades earlier? Author Claude Morita’s research of declassified materials in the National Archives in Washington, DC, has convinced him that US planning of a war against Japan began in about 1898.

In December 1917, nine months after the disintegration of the Russian monarchy, the army officer corps, one of the dynasty’s prime pillars, finally fell - a collapse that, in light of World War I and the Bolshevik Revolution, historians often treat as inevitable. Roger Reese contests this assumption in this fascinating book.

The WWB received federal money while retaining its status as a private organisation. Thomas Howell argues that this unique position has caused its history to fall between the cracks, since it was not recognised as an official part of the government’s war effort.

Advances a unique argument centring on military realism to explain the evolution of Army doctrinal thinking from 1960 to 2008. Peter Campbell demonstrates that decision makers have found themselves adapting to the geopolitical realities of preparing for and fighting so called ’low intensity’ conflicts, particularly in the twenty-first century.
The passage of three-quarters of a century has allowed a great many insights into this important battle. While this new volume will not preclude continuing observations, evaluations, and debates, it serves as a meaningful milepost in the ongoing discussion.

Operating in the vast and varied trans-Appalachian west, the Army of Tennessee was crucially important to the military fate of the Confederacy. But it won few major battles and many regard its inability to halt steady Union advances as a matter of failed leadership. Military historian Larry Daniel here offers a far richer interpretation.

In Australia’s Vietnam, Dapin reveals that every stage of Australia’s commitment to the Vietnam War has been misunderstood, misinterpreted, and shrouded in myth.

In this sweeping reappraisal of slavery’s end during the Civil War era, Joseph P. Reidy employs the lenses of time, space, and individuals’ sense of personal and social belonging to understand how participants and witnesses coped with drastic change, its erratic pace, and its unforeseeable consequences.
Tells the story of how Americans attempted to define what it meant to be a citizen of the United States, at a moment of fracture in the republic’s history. As Erik Mathisen demonstrates, prior to the Civil War, American national citizenship amounted to little more than a vague bundle of rights. But during the conflict, citizenship was transformed.

More than 150 years after the Civil War, scores of websites, articles, and organisations repeat claims that anywhere up to 100,000 African Americans fought in the Confederate army. Kevin Levin explains that imprecise contemporary accounts and poorly understood primary-source material have helped fuel the rise of the black Confederate myth.

The Steven and Janice Brose Lectures in the Civil War Era Argues that we can see the US Civil War anew by understanding it as a revolution. More than a fight to preserve the Union and end slavery, the conflict refashioned a nation, in part by remaking its Constitution. More than a struggle of brother against brother, it entailed remaking an Atlantic world that centred in surprising ways on Cuba and Spain.

The campaign intended to secure the Wehrmacht’s flanks had proven one front too many for the German Army. And now the offensive at Stalingrad, the epic clash that marked Germany’s failure on the Eastern Front, was entering its grim final phase. In Book One of the third volume of his acclaimed Stalingrad Trilogy, David Glantz offers the definitive account - the ‘ground truth’ to counter a half-century’s worth of myth and misinformation - of the beginning of the end of one of the most infamous battles of the Second World War.

In addition to a wide variety of traditional sources, this volume provides two major categories of documentary materials hitherto unavailable to researchers. The first consists of extensive records from the combat journal of the German Sixth Army, which were only recently rediscovered and published, and the second is a vast amount of newly released Soviet and Russian archival material.
The confrontation between German and Soviet forces at Stalingrad was a titanic clash of armies on an unprecedented scale - a campaign that was both a turning point in WWII and a lasting symbol of that war’s power and devastation. This book provides an account of the opening phase of this iconic Eastern Front campaign.

A full century later, our picture of World War I remains one of wholesale, pointless slaughter in the trenches of the Western front. Expanding our focus to the Eastern front fundamentally alters that picture. A thorough history of the Russian front during the First World War, this book corrects widespread misperceptions of the Russian Army and the war in the east even as it extends our understanding of the broader conflict.

The result, Red Phoenix Rising, is nothing less than definitive.

Glantz chronicles the Soviet Army’s efforts to further exploit their post-Kursk gains and accelerate a counteroffensive that would eventually take them all the way to Berlin.

Carl von Clausewitz (1780-1831) is best known for his masterpiece of military theory On War, yet that work formed only the first three of ten volumes of his published writings. Among these historical works, perhaps the most important is Napoleon’s 1796 Italian Campaign, which covers a crucial period in the French Revolutionary Wars.
For Hitler and the German military, 1942 was a key turning point of World War II, as an overstretched Wehrmacht replaced brilliant victories and territorial gains with stalemates and strategic retreats. This major reevaluation of that crucial yearn shows that the German army’s emerging woes were rooted as much in its addiction to the ‘war of movement’ as they were in Hitler’s flawed management of the war.

THE WEHRMACHT RETREATS
Robert M. Citino
By 1943, the war was lost, and most German officers knew it. Three quarters of a century later, the question persists: What kept the German army going in an increasingly hopeless situation? Where some historians have found explanations in the power of Hitler or the role of ideology, Robert M. Citino posits a more straightforward solution: the way of war cultivated by the Germans over the course of history.

ARCHITECT OF SOVIET VICTORY IN WORLD WAR II
Economic Agendas in Civil Wars
This volume identifies the economic and social factors underlying the perpetuation of civil wars, exploring as well the economic incentives and disincentives available to international actors seeking to restore peace to war-torn societies.
Throughout 1943, the German army, heirs to a military tradition that demanded and perfected relentless offensive operations, succumbed to the realities of its own overreach and the demands of twentieth-century industrialised warfare. In his new study, prizewinning author Robert Citino chronicles this weakening Wehrmacht, now fighting desperately on the defensive but still remarkably dangerous and lethal.

Casts a forensic eye over the role that Allied air forces played – or failed to play – in crucial World War II campaigns in New Guinea. This is the story of the early battles of the South West Pacific theatre – the Coral Sea, Kokoda, Milne Bay, Guadalcanal – presented as a single air campaign.
The only comparative analysis available of the great navies of World War I, this work studies the Royal Navy of the UK, the German Kaiserliche Marine, the US Navy, the French Marine Nationale, the Italian Regia Marina, the Austro-Hungarian Kaiserliche und Königliche Kriegsmarine, and the Imperial Russian Navy to demonstrate why the war was won on the waves.

Where does international order come from? How is it established and maintained? Why does it break down? With every sovereign state its own master, how can order prevail? Answering these questions in a briskly paced, systematic survey, Stephen Kocs explores the rise and fall of successive international systems across the centuries.
Frontiers of the American South Historians have examined the American Civil War and its aftermath for more than a century, yet little work has situated this important era in a global context.

THE WORLD SINCE 1945
A first-hand account of the genealogy of the discipline, and of the rise of a new era of social history. Geoff Eley tracks the evolution of historical understanding in our time from social history through the so-called “cultural turn”, and back again to a broad history of society.
History has tended to be dominated by visual images, but the past was not silent. These essays explore attempts to access the sounds of the past, called historical acoustemology, auditory culture, or aural history.
Exploring the relationships between the economies of Africa, Europe, and the South Atlantic that supported the slave trade, this work focuses on the history of the trade within the context of merchant capitalism in the 18th century. It illuminates the experiences of the slaves and their suffering.

Women have too often been written out of history. This is especially true in the fight for Irish independence. The women’s struggle was three-fold, beginning with the suffragettes’ fight to win the vote. Then came the push for fair pay and working conditions. Binding them together became part of the national struggle, first for home rule, then for the establishment of an Irish Republic.

The University of North Carolina Press
In this groundbreaking study, thirteen leading scholars explore the idea of transatlanticism through the lens of architecture and built spaces in the British Atlantic world from the seventeenth century to the mid-nineteenth century.
Slavery helped finance the Industrial Revolution in England. Plantation owners, shipbuilders, and merchants accumulated vast fortunes and expanded the reach of capitalism worldwide. Eric Williams advanced these ideas in Capitalism and Slavery, published in 1944. In a new introduction, Colin Palmer assesses the lasting impact of Williams’s groundbreaking work.
This is arguably the most influential text written in England in the Middle Ages. The work narrates a linear history of pre-Saxon Britain, from its founding by Trojan exiles to the loss of native British (Celtic) sovereignty in the face of Germanic invaders. Along the way, Geoffrey introduces readers to such familiar figures as King Lear, Cymbeline, Vortigern, the prophet Merlin, and a host of others.

Shows how literary and visual depictions of black women helped to shape France’s post-revolutionary national identity, particularly in response to the trauma of the French defeat in the Haitian Revolution. The stories of these women reveal a blind spot about race in French national identity that persists in the postcolonial present.

The Red Wheel is Nobel Prize-winner Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s multivolume epic work about the Russian Revolution. He spent decades writing about just four of the most important periods, or “nodes”. This is the first time that the monumental March 1917 –the third node–has been translated into English.
Presents a “cultural biography” of a Dutch devotional manifestation. According to tradition, on the night of March 15, 1345, a Eucharistic host thrown into a burning fireplace was found intact hours later. A chapel was erected over the spot, and the citizens of Amsterdam became devoted to their “Holy Stead”.

Analyses how German and Polish nationalistic historians, who played central roles in propagandizing a glorious past that justified a centralized modern state, struggled with how to portray the very decentralized and multiethnic empires that preceded their time.
This is the story of a man who tried to resurrect the spirit of democratic life. He was born into a time of chaos and absurdity, and he took it as his fate to carry a candle into the night. This is his story and the story many others, the writers, artists, actors, and philosophers who took it upon themselves to remember a tradition that had failed so miserably it had almost been forgotten.

Traces the prewar and wartime experiences of young adult Jews raised under distinct political and social systems. Each cohort harnessed the knowledge and skills attained during their formative years to seek survival during the Holocaust through narrow windows of chance.
Jan Hus was a late medieval Czech university master and popular preacher who was condemned at the Council of Constance, and burned at the stake as a heretic in 1415. Looking for Hus’s significance in his own time, this treatment tells a story of a late medieval intellectual who generated conflict and eventually brought execution upon himself.

This student edition of The Destruction of the European Jews makes accessible for classroom use Raul Hilberg’s landmark account of Germany’s annihilation of Europe’s Jewish communities in 1933-1945. Perhaps more than any other book, it answers the question: How did it happen?
In this groundbreaking new book, Dario Fernández Morera tells the full story of Islamic rule in medieval Spain. He shines light on hidden history by drawing on primary sources that have been ignored, as well as archaeological evidence recently unearthed.
Unique in its breadth and profoundly humanitarian in its focus, Surviving the Peace situates digestible explanations of the region’s bewilderingly complex recent history among interviews, conversations, and tableaus from the lives of everyday Bosnians attempting to make sense of what passes for normal in a postwar society.

In the years since, he has reestablished Russia as a great power. In this new analysis of Putin’s Russia, Chris Miller examines its economic policy and the tools Russia’s elite have used to achieve its goals.

From the inception of slavery, both Europeans and Africans feared their extermination by the other in a race war. In the US, says Kay Wright Lewis, this ingrained dread nourished a preoccupation with slave rebellions and would later help fuel the Civil War, thwart Reconstruction, justify Jim Crow, and even inform civil rights movement strategy.

What the conventional narrative neglects, Patrick Andelic submits, is the role of Congress in the party’s, and the nation’s, political fortunes.

This memory, we learn in this study, was a deliberately constructed image, shaped and reshaped over time.

Between 1900 and 1950, Americans built the most powerful steam locomotives of all time - enormous engines that powered a colossal industry. Drawing on the work of engineers and railroad managers of the day, this lavishly illustrated history chronicles the challenges, triumphs and failures of American steam locomotive development and operation.
Drawing on newspaper accounts, prisoner narratives, and government records, David Dzurec explores how stories of American captivity in North America, Europe, and Africa played a role in the development of American political culture.
Based on archival research and government documents, this book explores the steps Carter took during his presidency and how Congress reacted to them. Though Carter was not elected for a second term, this detailed history makes the case that his legacy has been misrepresented, and that he should not be remembered as a failed president, but as a man who restored dignity to an office burdened by controversy.
Focusing on British involvement in the American Civil War, this history names the overseas bankers and manufacturers who, in critical need of cotton and other Confederate exports, financed and equipped the fast little ships that ran the Union blockade.

Young Continental soldiers carried a heavy burden in the American Revolution. Their experiences of coming of age during the upheavals of war provide a novel perspective on the era. This book recovers young soldiers’ perspectives and stories, revealing how revolutionary political ideology intertwined with rational calculation and youthful ambition.
Three themes dominate George Washington’s correspondence in this volume of the Revolutionary War Series: the arrival of a French expeditionary army and navy, the need to prepare the Continental army for a joint Franco-American offensive on New York City, and the cultivation of Washington’s relationship with Lieutenant General Rochambeau.
Explores the logic and logistics of Jeffersonian statesmanship. Focusing on Jeffersonian Republican statecraft in action, Jeffersonians in Power maps the meeting place of ideology and policy as Jeffersonians shifted from being an oppositional party to exercising power as the ruling coalition.

FROM REVOLUTION TO POWER IN HowBRAZILRadical Leftists Embraced Capitalism and Struggled with Leadership
Although the battlefields of World War II lay thousands of miles from Mexico, the conflict had an influence on the country’s political development. Though the war years in Mexico have attracted less attention than other periods, this book shows how the crisis of the early 1940s played a part in the consolidation of the post-revolutionary regime.
Traces conflicts stemming from Protestant conversion in southern Mexico and demonstrates that both Protestants and Catholics deployed cultural identity as self-defence in clashes over power and authority. This is an important addition to the literature on transnational religious movements, gender, and indigenous identity in Latin America.
Based on two decades of research and more than three hundred hours of interviews with former members of the revolutionary organisation National Liberating Action, Serbin’s is the first book to bring the story of Brazil’s long night of dictatorship into the present.

Provides a study of how Lima’s residents engaged in civic festivities in the eighteenth century.

María Soledad Barbón contends that this perspective addresses only one side of the equation.

This work reconstructs the history of Mexico’s forgotten “Religionero” rebellion of 1873-1877, an armed Catholic challenge to the government of Sebastián Lerdo de Tejada.

Drawing from the theoretical perspectives of transnationalism, post-Marxist studies, intersectional feminism, popular culture studies, and more, this volume demonstrates how an era that is often associated with radical politics was, in effect, the catalyst for the subsequent flourishing of democratic and liberal values in South Korea.

INTRODUCTION TO THE HISTORY OF CHINA
Paths International Ltd
Leaning on cultural studies and the work on cosmopolitanism and modernity by Henry Jenkins and Joel Kahn, popular culture is critically examined here as a contradictory social phenomenon - in particular, it challenges the notion that Southeast Asia’s popular culture was low brow entertainment created by elites and commerce to manipulate the masses.

THE EMERGENCE OF MODERN SOUTHEAST ASIA
103A SIA -P A CIFIC • ASIA
Wallace’s Malay Archipelago is a classic account of the travels of a Victorian naturalist through island Southeast Asia. Despite numerous modern reprints with appreciative introductions, this is the first annotated edition in English, which explains, updates and corrects the original text with a historical introduction and hundreds of explanatory notes.
Information on the Japanese Occupation of Malaya and Singapore is sparse. This book covers the Watanabe Military Administration, and Japanese research activities in Malaya, Japan’s Economic Policies, Malayan Communist Party Leaders and the Anti-Japanese Resistance, and the Massacre of Chinese in Singapore.
Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, Myanmar, Malaysia, Singapore, Cambodia, Laos, Brunei and East Timor were once small polities linked by sporadic trade and occasional war. From the end of the 19th century, to the end of WWII, the US and some European powers controlled the region. This work offers a perspective on this complex region.

In the mid-nineteenth century, scientists around the world were quick to see photography’s huge potential for capturing fleeting moments of life, death and discovery — and at the Australian Museum, curator Gerard Krefft and taxidermist Henry Barnes began to experiment with the revolutionary new art form. Capturing Nature reveals this fascinating visual archive for the first time, profiling the remarkable partnership of Krefft and Barnes.

The seventies was the decade that shaped modern Australia. It was the decade of ‘It’s Time’, stagflation and the Dismissal, a tumultuous period of economic and political upheaval, and the era when the personal became political and social movements tore down the boundary between public and private life. In a lively and engaging style, Michelle Arrow has written a new history of this transformative decade.
WORLD WAR NOIR
Sydney’s Unpatriotic War
It seems that not even world war could stop crime in Sydney. In fact, this book confirms that war and crime - in the form of sex, drugs, alcohol, racketeering and other illicit activities - go hand in hand. World War Noir provides an alternative history of Sydney during World War II that depicts a city far less patriotic, and far more hell bent on pleasure, than ever shown before.
This informative narrative claims that ANZAC has become a conservative political force in Australia and questions whether ANZAC’S renowned foreign battles were worth all of the bloodshed. Daring, intelligent, and thought-provoking, this is a must-read for those interested in Australian or military history
