CHURCHILL’S LAST STAND

NEW

The Struggle to Unite Europe FELIX KLOS The true story of Churchill’s final great endeavour

‘When the Nazi power was broken, I asked myself what was the best advice I could give to my fellow citizens here in this island and across the channel in our ravaged continent. There was no difficulty in answering the question. My counsel to Europe can be given in a single word: Unite!’

Sir Winston Churchill in 1947 September 2017

After the Second World War, with much of Europe in ruins, 288 pages 228 x 155mm the victorious Winston Churchill swore to build a peace across Hardback £25 9781780768595 Europe that would last a generation.

I.B.Tauris

Fighting against the new ‘Iron Curtain’ which had fallen across the world, and battling the personal disappointment of losing the 1945 election in Britain, Churchill dedicated the rest of his life to forging a united Europe. This book, based in part on new evidence, reveals his vision: Britain as a leading member of the European family.

'It is rare, very rare, to find a work of scholarship that is as decisively relevant as Felix Klos’s portrait of Winston Churchill in his later career as a champion of Europeanism.'

- Vijay Seshadri, Pulitzer Prize Winner 2014 Felix Klos is an historian who has had access to unpublished Churchill papers and archives. He undertook his research at the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, and at Churchill’s family home, Chartwell.

FRONTLINE TURKEY

NEW

The Conflict at the Heart of the Middle East EZGI BASARAN An exiled journalist reveals Turkey’s role in the breakdown of the Middle East Turkey is on the front line of the war which is consuming Syria and the Middle East. Its role is complicated by the longrunning conflict with the Kurds on their Syrian border – a war that has killed as many as 80,000 people over the last three decades. In 2011 Erdogan promised to make a deal with the Kurdistan military wing, but the talks marked a descent into assassinations, suicide bombings and the killing of civilians on both sides.

Frontline Turkey shows how the Kurds’ relationship with Turkey is at the very heart of the Middle Eastern crisis, and documents, through front-line reporting, how Erdogan’s failure to bring peace is the key to understanding current events in Middle East.

'It is a fascinating, frightening story, journalism bringing all the connections together... Watch this space. And read this book' - Robert Fisk, The Independent Ezgi Basaran is a Turkish journalist who made her name covering the Kurdish conflict - reporting ‘on the ground’ in the fight between ISIS, the YPG, the PKK and the Turkish state.

She became the youngest ever editor of Turkey’s Radikal, the biggest centre-left news outlet in Turkey, and the first woman to hold the role. After facing government censorship when covering the breakdown of the Kurdish talks, she resigned.

Radikal was shut down by the government a month later – an unprecedented event which made headlines worldwide.

DESTROYING A NATION The Civil War in Syria

NEW PAPERBACK ORIGINAL

NIKOLAOS VAN DAM Why did Syria descend into chaos so suddenly?

CHASING THE CHINESE DREAM

NEW

Stories from Modern China NICK HOLDSTOCK A surreal journey into the dreams and desires of the world’s largest - and soon to be most powerful nation China is undergoing the biggest and fastest societal and economic change in human history. Driving this dizzying transformation is the idea of the ‘Chinese Dream’, the promise that in the new China, anyone can make it. Journalist and writer Nick Holdstock has travelled the length of this huge country in order to find out the reality behind this rhetoric – from the factory-owner, to the noodle seller, from the karaoke maids to the hoteliers, and from the deserted, ageing countryside to the young and overcrowded cities.

September 2017 272 pages 216 x 135mm Hardback £20 9781784533731 I.B.Tauris

Chasing the Chinese Dream follows a cast of extraordinary characters: we meet the people getting rich; running factories and buying luxury cars and Louis Vuitton bags. But we also meet those left behind, trapped by a system which forces long hours and no prospects upon them. A spellbinding and magical narrative, this book looks to tell the story of modern China through the people who are living it.

KERRY BROWN The global aspirations of the next great superpower In the next decade China’s actions on the world stage will affect us all.

Here, award- winning China expert Kerry Brown guides us through China’s foreign policy, from its skirmishes with US Navy destroyers in the South China Sea to its arguments with Japan over the Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands and its increased displays of military prowess – including huge investments in cyber warfare. Brown also assesses China’s extraordinary plan to create a ‘New Silk Road’ across Central Asia – one of the biggest infrastructure project in modern history. In doing so he seeks to answer a simple question: what does China want?

EUROPE RESET

NEW PAPERBACK ORIGINAL

New Directions for the EU RICHARD YOUNGS A new model for a new Europe after all the wrangling Since the economic recession of 2008, the EU has been hit by a series of crises, most recently the UK’s decision to leave the union following the Brexit referendum. In light of this, questions have been raised about the need to reform the whole model of European integration, with the aim of making the union more flexible and more accountable.

In this book, Richard Youngs proposes an alternative vision of European co-operation and shows how the EU must re-invent itself if it is to survive. He argues that citizens should play a greater role in European decision-making, that there should be radically more flexibility in the process of integration and that Europe needs to take a new, more coherent, approach to questions of defence and security.

October 2017 240 pages 198 x 129mm Paperback £11.99 9781788310574 I.B.Tauris

In proposing this model for a ‘reset’ version of Europe, Youngs reinvigorates the debate around the future of Europe and puts forward a new agenda for the future of the EU.

Richard Youngs is Senior Fellow in the Democracy and Rule of Law Program, Carnegie Europe and Professor of International Relations at the University of Warwick. His books include The Puzzle of Non-Western Democracy; Europe in the New Middle East and Europe’s Decline and Fall: The Struggle against Global Irrelevance.

PAUL ROGERS The rise of irregular forces undermines all thinking about the world's security - are we prepared?

THE RAGE

NEW PAPERBACK ORIGINAL

The Vicious Circle of Islamist and Far-Right Extremism JULIA EBNER Explosive account of how far-right and Islamist extremists feed off each other The early twenty-first century has been defined by a rise in Islamist radicalisation and a concurrent rise in far-right extremism. This book explores the interaction between the ‘new’ far-right and Islamist extremists and considers the consequences for the global terror threat. Julia Ebner argues that far right and Islamist extremist narratives – ‘The West is at war with Islam’ and ‘Muslims are at war with the West’ complement each other perfectly, making the two extremes rhetorical allies and building a spiralling torrent of hatred ‘The Rage’. By looking at extremist movements both online and offline, she shows how far-right and Islamist extremists have succeeded in penetrating each other’s echo chambers as a result of their mutually useful messages. Based on firsthand interviews, this book introduces readers to the world of reciprocal radicalisation and hotbeds of extremism.

LLOYD GEORGE

NEW

Statesman or Scoundrel RICHARD WILKINSON New biography of one of the most talented, yet flawed, British Prime Ministers David Lloyd George left a profound political legacy, despite being described by the wife of his successor, Herbert Asquith, as a ‘gambler without foresight’. He is, of course, best known as the Prime Minister who led Britain to victory in World War I, but his contribution to domestic politics was September 2017 256 pages 216 x 135mm similarly impressive.

Hardback £25

As Chancellor of the Exchequer he introduced pensions and 9781780763897 national insurance against sickness and unemployment, 8 b&w illustrations while as Prime Minister he extended democracy by giving I.B.Tauris votes to women. Yet Lloyd George was compromised by his flaws as a human being. Vain, cruel, capricious and dishonest, at times his notoriously corrupt nature threatened to damage the British political system.

Providing a unique new perspective on one of the most phenomenally talented – but also one of the most phenomenally flawed – of British Prime Ministers, this book will be essential reading for anyone interested in modern British politics and history.

FRANCO

NEW

Anatomy of a Dictator ENRIQUE MORADIELLOS Based on original new research, a major new portrait of Franco as man and dictator On 20th November 1975, General Francisco Franco died in Madrid, just before his 83rd birthday. At the time of his death he had been the head of a dictatorial regime with the title of ‘Caudillo’ for almost 40 years. In this book, Enrique Moradiellos redraws Franco in three dimensions – Franco, the man; Franco, the Caudillo and Franco’s Spain. In so doing, he offers a reappraisal of Franco’s personality, his leadership style and the nature of the regime that he established and led until his death.

As a dictator who established his power prior to World War II and maintained it well into the 1970s, Franco was one of the most central figures of twentieth-century European history. In Spain today, he is a spectre from a regrettable recent past, uncomfortable yet still very real and significant. Although a relatively minor dictator in comparison with Mussolini, Hitler or Stalin, Franco was more fortunate than them in terms of survival, long-lasting influence and public image. A study of his regime and its historical evolution sheds new light on fundamental questions of European history, including the social and cultural bases for totalitarian or authoritarian challenges to democracy and sources of political legitimacy grounded in the charisma of a leader.

Farewell to Office BERNARD DONOUGHUE Insider ‘off-the-record’ account of New Labour’s early years in power As New Labour’s first period of government picks up steam, we find Bernard Donoughue working as a minister at the Ministry of Agriculture, Fishing and Food. In this, the second volume of Donoughue’s House of Lords diaries, he chronicles his experiences – often frustrating, often hilarious – serving in the early years of Blair’s government, as he attempts to modernise MAFF by expanding its interests more broadly in rural affairs.

It outlines Donoughue’s role in the EU’s agricultural policy, including as the UK minister at the Agriculture Council as well as his unofficial role in the lead-up to the Good Friday agreement. As with all Donoughue’s diaries, the book sheds a spotlight on the daily trials and tribulations of life in Westminster, told with trademark waspish wit, insight and humour.

Stalin's Super-Agent in World War II HAMISH MACGIBBON A gripping and previously untold tale of World War II espionage A few years before he died, James MacGibbon told his family that he had spied for the Soviet Union during World War II. Only after his death, when the author, his son Hamish, obtained access to restricted Soviet intelligence records, did the true significance of what James had revealed become clear. For over three years, from his position at the heart of the Intelligence Corps in the War Office and then in Washington, he provided the Russians with top secret information of immense military and diplomatic value. The material probably included plans for D-Day, received by Stalin seven months before the Normandy invasion.

Laced through the gripping spy story is an engaging portrait of two charismatic young people, during the turbulent decades of war and Cold War, their emotional relationships, and their wide circle of authors, artists and publishers.

I.B.TAURIS SHORT HISTORIES I.B.Tauris Short Histories is an authoritatively written and elegantly presented series that puts into fresh perspective the way history is taught and understood in the twenty-first century.

Designed to have strong appeal to university students and their teachers, as well as to general readers and history enthusiasts, I.B.Tauris Short Histories aims to bring informed interpretation, as well as factual reportage, to historical debate. Addressing key subjects and topics in the fields of history, the history of ideas, religion, classical studies, politics, philosophy and Middle East studies, the series seeks intentionally to move beyond the bland, neutral ‘introduction’ that so often serves as the primary undergraduate teaching tool. Addressing a variety of subjects in a greater degree of depth than is often found in comparable series, yet at the same time in concise and compact handbook form, I.B.Tauris Short Histories aims to be ‘introductions with an edge.’

‘Really stimulating: many of the published or planned works treat just the topics that I myself would be glad to read.’ - Dexter Hoyos, University of Sydney ‘An attractive idea – the series looks great.’ - Tim Blanning, University of Cambridge ‘An exciting and stimulating idea.’ - Charlotte Roueché, King’s College London

MICHAEL PRESTWICH A brilliantly incisive account of a titanic, dynastic struggle to the death The conflict that swept over France from 1337 to 1453 reminas th elongest military struggle in history. The Hundred Years War was fought out on the widest of stages with battles often epic in scale.

A bold new treatment of the mighty Mongol imperium: from the rise of the Great Khan to its final dissolution The Mongol Empire was the mightiest land empire the world has ever seen. At its height it was twice the size of its Roman equivalent. For a remarkable century and a half it commanded a population of 100 million people, while the rule of Chinggis (Genghis) Khan marched undefeated from the Pacific Ocean to the Caspian Sea.

THE REFORMATION HELEN L. PARISH

NEW PAPERBACK ORIGINAL

A vivid new history of the schism which tore European Christianity apart When, in October 1517, Martin Luther pinned his NinetyFive Theses to the door of All Saints’ Church in Wittenberg he shattered the foundations of western Christendom.

The Reformation of doctrine and practice that followed Luther’s seismic action, and protest against the sale of indulgences, fragmented the Church and overturned previously accepted certainties and priorities. But it did more, challenging the relationship between spiritual and secular authority, perceptions of the supernatural, the interpretation of the past, the role of women in society and church, and clerical attitudes towards marriage and sex.

THE ENGLISH CIVIL WAR

NEW IN PAPERBACK

A Military History PETER GAUNT Exploring the major battles, raids and engagements, an enthralling new history of England’s bloodiest conflict 'Sir, God hath taken away your eldest son by a cannon shot. It brake his leg. We were necessitated to have it cut off, whereof he died.’

In this vividly narrated history of the deadly conflict that engulfed the nation during the 1640s, Peter Gaunt shows that, with the exception of World War I, the death rate was higher than any other contest in which Britain has participated. Numerous towns and villages were garrisoned, attacked, damaged or wrecked. The landscape was profoundly altered. Yet amidst all the blood and killing, the fighting was also a catalyst for profound social change and innovation.

Charting major battles, raids and engagements, the author uses rich contemporary accounts to explore the life-changing experience of war for those involved, whether musketeers at Cheriton, dragoons at Edgehill or Cromwell’s disciplined Ironsides at Naseby (1645).

MISS PALMER'S DIARY

NEW

The Secret Journals of a Victorian Lady GILLIAN WAGNER Set during the Crimean War, the fascinating true story of a woman ahead of her time In 1847, seventeen-year-old Miss Ellen Palmer had the world at her feet. At the start of her first London season, Ellen, beautiful, rich and accomplished was eager to experience the world of balls, opera visits and dinner parties which were a rite-of-passage for young women of her class. To record the glittering whirl of activity, Ellen started writing a diary, a unique daily account which was discovered over a century later by her descendants. For Ellen, the path to true love did not run smooth – after an ill-fated encounter with a duplicitous Swedish count, her marriage prospects were dealt a heavy blow.

But Ellen was a woman ahead of her time. Undeterred by her increasing social isolation, she set off on a treacherous trip across Europe in pursuit of her beloved brother Roger, an officer serving in the Crimea. In doing so she became one of the first women to visit the battlefield at Balaclava and the first to ride up the dangerous road to the batteries overlooking Sevastopol. Ellen’s diaries provide a first-hand account of the realities of life in Victorian London whilst also telling the story of an inspirational young woman, her quest for love and her spectacular journey from the ballroom to the battlefield.

EMBRACING THE DARKNESS

NEW

A Cultural History of Witchcraft JOHN CALLOW How has witchcraft shaped the Western imagination?

And how does it endure today?

From the Salem witch trials to the macabre novels of Dennis Wheatley; from the sadistic persecution of eccentric village women to the seductive sorceresses of TV's Charmed; and from Derek Jarman's punk film Jubilee to Ken Russell's The Devils, John Callow brings the twilight world of the witch, mage and necromancer to vivid and fascinating life.

He takes us into a shadowy landscape where, in an age before modern drugs, the onset of sudden illness was readily explained by malevolent spellcasting. Witchcraft, as the author authoritatively shows, has profoundly shaped the western imagination, and endures in the forms of modern-day Wicca and paganism.

RADICAL PROPHET

NEW

The Mystics, Subversives and Visionaries Who Strove For Heaven on Earth CHRISTOPHER ROWLAND A tour de force recovery of the 'real' Christianity, by the world authority in radical Christian studies Christianity began with the conviction that the old order was finished. The mysterious, elusive and charismatic figure of Jesus proclaimed that a new era, the Kingdom of God, was dawning. Yet despite its success, and the conversion of the empire which had executed its founder, the religion he inspired was soon domesticated, its counter-cultural radicalism tamed, as the Church attempted to control both its doctrines and its followers. Christopher Rowland shows that this was never the whole story. At the margins, around the edges, sometimes off the religious map, the apocalyptic flame of the New Testament continued to burn.

August 2017 304 pages 228 x 155mm Hardback £25 9781784532659 20 b&w, 5 colour illustrations I.B.Tauris

He argues that it was the revolutionaries and subversives who recognised what they saw as the true intent of the enigma who threw over the tables of the money-changers: to summon a new epoch – iconoclastic, uncomfortable and otherworldly.

‘Makes a novel cut through the two-thousand year texture of Christianity history to reveal some startling perspectives from the past.' - Diarmuid MacCulloch Christopher Rowland is Professor Emeritus of the Exegesis of Holy Scripture in the University of Oxford.

ORIENTALIST LIVES

NEW

Western Artists in the Middle East, 1830-1920 JAMES PARRY The colourful story of the nineteenth-century Western artists who travelled and painted the Middle East In one of the most remarkable artistic pilgrimages in history, the nineteenth century saw scores of Western artists heading to the Middle East. Inspired by the allure of the exotic Orient, they went in search of subjects for their paintings.

Orientalist Lives looks at what led this surprisingly diverse and idiosyncratic group of men - and some women - to often remote and potentially dangerous locations, from Morocco to Egypt, the Levant and Turkey.

James Parry traces these journeys of cultural and artistic discovery, describing how these travelling artists prepared for their expeditions, coped with working in unfamiliar and challenging surroundings, engaged with local people, and then took home to their studios the memories, sketches and collections of artefacts necessary to create the works for which their audiences clamoured.

As Shelley once said, ‘We are all Greeks’. This small, rugged, sea-girt country has the longest written history in Europe. Her myths and legends, so deeply embedded in Western consciousness, and her sublime landscapes, so infused with history, have been muse for writers, artists and travellers for millennia. Travelling from Athens to the scattered islands of the Ionian and Aegean seas, the words of literary titans echo through the centuries: from Homer and Plato to Byron, Flaubert and Twain; Henry Miller to John Fowles; the Durrells to Patrick Leigh Fermor and Cavafy, Kazantzakis and Seferis. Their luminous portraits of Greece – poignant, provocative, always entertaining – enrich our own experiences of the country and shed light on a dramatic and often tragic past.

BEHIND THE SCENES AT THE BALLETS RUSSES Stories From a Silver Age MICHAEL MEYLAC An intimate portrait of the most iconic ballet company of all time The Ballets Russes was perhaps the most iconic, yet at the same time enigmatic, ballet company of the twentieth century. Following the death of their founder Sergei Diaghilev in 1929, the company split into two separate groups – the Ballets Russes de Colonel de Basil and the Ballet Russes de Monte Carlo. In the mid-twentieth century – during the tumultuous years of World War II and the Cold War – the Ballets Russes companies kept the spirit and traditions of Russian ballet alive in the West, touring extensively in America, Europe and Australia.

This groundbreaking new book uncovers previously unseen conversations with the leading protagonists of the companies, primarily with the dancers themselves, but also with choreographers, instructors and critics. Through the dancers’ own words, Michael Meylac reveals what life was really like for the stars of the Ballets Russes and provides fascinating new insights into some of the most important dance events of the twentieth century – including Nureyev’s defection to the West.

Michael Meylac is Professor of Russian Literature at the University of Strasbourg. He is the author of editions and studies of the Oberiou poets and of studies on the Provençal troubadours.

IVAN PHILIPS 'We're all stories in the end,' said The Doctor...

Stories are, fundamentally, what Doctor Who is all about.

Ivan Phillips presents a lively and richly varied analysis of the accumulated tales that constitute this eccentric masterpiece of modern mythology. Concerned equally with ‘classic’ and ‘new’ Doctor Who, Phillips traces the expansion of the Time Lord’s story from the television into ever more intricate patterns of transmedia production. Doctor Who is discussed as a mythology that has drawn on its own past in often complex ways, at the same time reworking elements from other sources, whether literary, cinematic, televisual or historical.

HITCHCOCK AND THE SPY FILM

JAMES CHAPMAN Discovering Hitchcock, the ultimate cinematic spymaster Film historian James Chapman has mined Hitchcock's own papers to investigate fully for the first time the spy thrillers of the world's most famous filmmaker. Hitchcock made his name as director of the spy movie. He returned repeatedly to the genre from the British classics of the 1930s, including The 39 Steps and The Lady Vanishes, through wartime Hollywood films Foreign Correspondent and Saboteur to the Cold War tracts North by Northwest, Torn Curtain and his unmade film The Short Night.

Chapman's close reading of these films demonstrates the development of Hitchcock's own style as well as how the spy genre as a whole responded to changing political and cultural contexts from the threat of Nazism in the 1930s and 40s to the atom spies and double agents of the post-war world.

TAINTED LOVE

NEW PAPERBACK ORIGINAL

Screening Sexual Perversion EDITED BY DARREN KERR AND DONNA PEBERDY The first critical anthology analysing how sexual perversities have been represented on screen Interrogating the recent shift towards the mainstream in the cinematic representation of previously marginalised sexual practices, Tainted Love challenges the discourses and debates around sexual taboo, moral panics, degeneracy, deviance and disease, which present those who enact such sexualities as modern folk devils.

August 2017 This timely collection brings together leading scholars who draw on a variety of critical approaches including adaptation, performance, cultural studies, queer theory, feminism and philosophy to examine screen representations of controversial sexualities from the weird and wonderful to the debased and debauched.

Chapters explore the shame of masturbation in mainstream cinema, teenage sexuality in the films of Larry Clark, intergenerational sex and incestuous relations in French cinema, sexual obsession in gay cinema, ‘everyday’ perversion in neoliberal culture, the straightness of necrophilia, imaging and re-imagining the Marquis de Sade from film to slash fiction and the performance and presentation of the paedophile. In order to move past binary distinctions of good and bad, normal and abnormal, moral and immoral, Tainted Love seeks to critically interrogate perverse sexualities and sexual perversities on screen.

FASHION CRIMES

NEW PAPERBACK ORIGINAL

Dressing for Deviance EDITED BY JOANNE TURNEY Why has the hoodie become a symbol of fear?

Investigating the relationship between fashion and criminality In both revealing and concealing the body, fashionable clothing is an excellent communicator of a person’s identity, which in turn can assume social and moral significance in coding someone as ‘respectable’ or as an outsider; as deviant. March 2018 256 pages 216 x 134mm

This book explores the relationship between fashion and Paperback £17.99 criminality. It sets out to develop from interdisciplinary 9781780766997 perspectives, new ways of seeing everyday dress and the 28 b/w illustrations individual body in the public space. It focuses on specific I.B.Tauris garments and their individual or group wearers – the Hoodie and the trenchcoat, knitted Norwegian Lustkoffe sweaters and low-slung trousers, branded sportswear and hip-hop styling, the fashion model – innocuous in themselves, but which have been coded as deviant socially and in the media.

Fashion Crimes questions the point at which morality as a form of social control meets criminality and demonstrates how such established dress codes and terms as ‘suitability’ or ‘glamour’ can be renegotiated through the exploration of what people wear every day in response to notions of criminality.

Joanne Turney is Associate Professor of Fashion, Winchester School of Art at the Univeristy of Southampton.

DIRECTING

Behind the Silver Screen: A Modern History of Filmmaking

PAPERBACK ORIGINAL

VIRGINIA WRIGHT WEXMAN How directors have shaped Hollywood's history When a film is acclaimed, the director usually gets the lion’s share of the credit. Yet the movie director’s job - especially the collaborations and compromises it involves - remains little understood.

This, the latest volume in the Behind the Silver Screen series, provides the first comprehensive overview of how directing, as both an art and a profession, has evolved in tandem with the changing practices of the film industry.

October 2017 288 pages 228 x 152mm Paperback £14.99 9781788310383 I.B.Tauris

Directing examines a diverse range of classic and contemporary directors, including Tim Burton, Cecil B. DeMille, Steven Soderbergh, Spike Lee, Jane Campion, Christopher Nolan and Ida Lupino, offering a rich composite picture of how they have negotiated industry constraints, utilised new technologies, and harnessed the creative contributions of their many collaborators throughout a century of Hollywood filmmaking.

‘This fascinating collection of essays by established field historians goes further than any publication to date to challenge the mythologies that have grown up around the auteur director.’ - Jane Gains, author of Fictioning Histories: Women Film Pioneers Virginina Wright Wexman is Professor Emerita of English and Art History at the University of Illinois at Chicago. She is the author of many books, including Creating the Couple: Love, Marriage, and Hollywood Performance and A History of Film.
