Mission Accomplished?

NEW

The Crisis of International Intervention Simon Jenkins Why the West intervenes and why it needs to stay out The fall of the Soviet Union left the West aimless. With no conflicting dogma to reinforce its sense of justice the West assumed the role of global policeman – aid graduated from charitable to economic and, finally, military. Ideological struggle was replaced by a vague and confused concept of international justice, shrouded in real-politik. Yet scepticism now pervades the interventionist debate. Simon Jenkins traces the rise of ‘liberal interventionism’ from Kosovo and the ‘war on terror’ to present day conflicts in Libya, Syria and Ukraine, asking: what can we learn from the miscalculations, mistakes, and mendacity of ‘the age of intervention’? As ISIS sweeps through the Middle East, calls for a military solution are increasing. By exposing interventionist rhetoric and highlighting past mistakes, Jenkins gives us an invaluable contribution to the active and essential debate on the West’s role in global conflicts.

Under the Black Flag

NEW

At the Frontier of the New Jihad Sami Moubayed With exclusive interviews and unparalleled access, a leading Arab journalist reveals the inner workings of ISIS The Islamic State movement (ISIS) burst onto the world stage in 2014. From its heartland in Syria, where it arose from the chaos of the Syrian Revolt, the organisation has expanded in ideology and membership and now poses a significant threat to the region, if not to the wider world. Moubayed, a Beirut-based journalist who has been analysing Syria and the region for 20 years, has unrivalled access to the movement and its participants. His book is the first inside account of an organisation which has dominated the headlines with a dangerous mix of barbarity and military prowess. In looking at the historical background of ISIS – where it came from, how it evolved, where it stands today and what its aims are for the future to reveal – it will provide, for the first time, a fullyfledged picture of what lies at the heart of ISIS.

Irregular War

NEW

ISIS and the New Threat from the Margins Paul Rogers Is ISIS the new face of war?

If ISIS can overrun powerful states in a matter of weeks, what kind of a secure future can the world expect? After more than a decade of the war on terror, security specialists believed that Islamist paramilitary movements were in decline; the threat from ISIS in Syria and Iraq, Boko Haram in Nigeria, al-Qaida in Yemen, the chaos in Libya and the return of the Taliban in Afghanistan have all shown that to be wishful thinking. Once again the West is on a collision course in the Middle East. Paul Rogers, the distinguished global security specialist, provides a much-needed look at the rise of such global terrorist movements from the margins and presents a new argument as troubling as it is compelling. While ISIS has taken root in the Middle East and North Africa and has increasing impact across the world as thousands of young men and women rally to its cause, Rogers argues that it should be seen not just as a threat in its own right but as a marker of a much more dangerous world riddled with irregular war.

China and the West

NEW

Hope and Fear in the Age of Asia Fokke Obbema Why the West should stop worrying and learn to trust China China sees its relations with the West as absolutely crucial to its future. This relationship is changing the global political and economic landscape. But can they overcome their cultural and political differences to develop a relationship of trust?

Here, experienced journalist Fokke Obbema travels through Europe and China and speaks with dozens of entrepreneurs, students, experts and politicians. He shows how mutual relations are affected by a feeling of superiority on both sides, and sheds light on the thousands of interactions between Chinese and Westerners in finance, politics, economics and education. Above all he shows how a fear of China has permeated the discourse, and argues that we should instead take a balanced view of the future of China relations, even be excited by the change which is coming.

How Britain will Leave Europe Denis MacShane With the referendum now on the way, Denis MacShane explains why Britain will leave the EU Will Britain leave the EU? Following the Conservative victory in the 2015 General Election, the question of ‘Brexit’ – a British exit from the EU – is high on the political agenda. In this book, former Europe Minister Denis MacShane looks at the history of Britain’s fraught relationship with Europe and shows how the possibility of Brexit has become increasingly more likely. He looks at the key personalities who shaped Britain’s European policy – from Churchill, Heath and Wilson, to Thatcher, Blair and Cameron – and the key issues of immigration and the economy which have heightened Eurosceptic feeling in the UK. Touching on one of the most divisive political issues of our times, this book will be essential reading as Britain, now with its post-election Conservative government, moves towards a referendum on Europe and considers its future place in the world.

Venice

A Literary Guide for Travellers Marie-José Gransard The first book of its kind to explore the legendary literary world of Venice Venice, ‘La Serenissima’, is one of the most breathtaking cities in the world. A floating labyrinth; the world’s greatest museum, frozen in time; a cultural jewel, slowly sinking into the lagoon from which it rose; tourist-trap, irresistible muse.

From its earliest beginings in the 7th Century, Venice has been a magnetic centre of trade and culture, wealth and power and has acted as a crossroads for an array of religious pilgrims and refugees, diplomats, crusading armies and merchants.

Later, its fabled beauty and reputation as a haven for freedom of expression seduced some of the most celebrated figures in history: artists such as Dürer, Da Vinci, Bellini and Turner; writers Dickens, Byron, Kafka, Poe, Rousseau, Thomas Mann, Ruskin and Ezra Pound and composers Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Verdi and Stravinsky. In this, the first literary guide to Venice, the author uncovers the city’s myriad secrets, revealing how every floating palace, gilded church and bustling square is imbued with the lives and creations of those who were inspired by the city, which still echoes with their voices.

The Shadow Man

NEW

At the Heart of the Cambridge Spy Circle Geoff Andrews Revealing the true story of the mysterious recruiter and mentor behind the Cambridge Spy Ring James Klugmann appears as a shadowy figure in the legendary history of the Cambridge spies. As both mentor and friend to Donald Maclean, Guy Burgess and others, Klugmann was the man who recruited promising students deemed ripe for conversion to the communist cause. This perception of him was reinforced following the release of his MI5 file and the disclosure of Soviet intelligence files in Moscow. These revealed his key part in the recruitment of John Cairncross, the so-called ‘fifth man’, as well as his pivotal war-time role in the Special Operations Executive in shifting Churchill and the allies to support Tito and the communist Partisans in Yugoslavia. In this book, Geoff Andrews reveals Klugmann’s story in full for the first time, uncovering the motivations, conflicts and illusions of those drawn into the world of communism and the sacrifices they made on its behalf.

Selling Ronald Reagan

NEW

The Emergence of a President Gerard de Groot The untold story of Reagan and how he became one of the titans of American history How did Ronald Reagan go from being a Hollywood actor to the most powerful man in America?

Running as a ‘celebrity candidate’ for the governorship of California in 1966, Ronald Reagan’s hard-line Republican campaign was faltering in the radical atmosphere of the Berkeley student riots and sixties counterculture. Reagan’s team were young, hungry and inventive and included two Stanford psychologists. He avoided being caught up in policy detail and capitalised on his natural ease in front of the camera and media-friendly charisma. In doing so, Reagan and his team created the first ‘modern’ politician. With an emphasis on the sound bite, the photo op and Reagan’s personality, they won the California governorship by a landslide, and went on to do the same in the US presidential elections.

British IMperial

NEW

What the Empire Wasn’t Bernard POrter Groundbreaking, revisionist history of the British Empire by a leading UK historian The British Empire is often misunderstood. Judgments of it differ widely, from broadly adulatory – a ‘great’ enterprise, spreading ‘civilisation’ through the world – to the blame that is often put on it for most of the world’s ills today, including racism, exploitation and the problems of the Middle East. In this provocative book, Bernard Porter argues that many of these judgments arise from some fundamental misreadings of the nature, causes and effects of British imperialism, which was a more complex, ambivalent and in some ways accidental phenomenon than it is often taken to be. Drawing on his fifty years’ experience of research and writing on the subject, Porter aims to clear away many of the misconceptions that surround the story of the British Empire’s rise, governance and fall; and to point some ways to a fairer (though not necessarily more favourable) assessment of it. He addresses the connections of imperialism with capitalism, racism and British domestic culture, and ends with some reflections on the modern repercussions of both the Empire itself, and the myths which have sprung up around it.

The Iron Fist of Albania Blendi Fevziu Edited by Robert Elsie The first biography of one of Europe’s most ruthless dictators Stalinism, that particularly brutal phase of the Communist experience, came to an end in most of Europe with the death of Stalin in 1953. However, in one country – Albania – Stalinism survived virtually unscathed until 1990. The regime that the Albanian dictator Enver Hoxha led from 1944 until his death in 1985 was incomparably severe. Such was the reign of terror that no audible voice of opposition or dissent ever arose in the Balkan state and Albania became isolated from the rest of the world and utterly inward-looking. Three decades after his death, the spectre of Hoxha still lingers over the country, yet little is known about the man who ruled the country with an iron fist for so many decades. This book provides the first biography of Hoxha available in English.

Using unseen documents and first-hand interviews, journalist Blendi Fevziu pieces together the life of a tyrannical ruler in a biography which will be essential reading for anyone interested in Balkan history and communist studies.

Original Spin

Downing Street and the Press in Victorian Britain Paul Brighton The best-kept secrets between Westminster and Fleet Street during the Victorian era Secret lunches, off-the-record briefings, the leaking of confidential information and tightly-organised media launches – the well-known world of modern political spin.

But is this really a new phenomenon or have politicians been manipulating the press for as long as newspapers have existed? In this important new book, Paul Brighton shows that spin is not something dreamed up by modern, mediasavvy politicians. In fact, it was one of the best-kept political secrets of the 18th and 19th Centuries. From Peel and Palmerston to Gladstone and Disraeli, Prime Ministers have all tried to manipulate the press to a greater or lesser extent.

Brighton uncovers the covert contacts between Westminster and Fleet Street and reveals how the Victorian occupants of 10 Downing Street secretly conveyed their viewpoints via the newspapers. For the first time, Original Spin tells the whole, unvarnished, story.

Churchill and de Gaulle’s Forgotten War Henri de Wailly Translated by William Land A new history of one of the most shocking episodes of World War II At the height of World War II – while the Germans were setting their sights on Moscow – Free French, British and Australian forces launched an assault on the Vichy French army in the Middle East on 8th June 1941. This joint initiative of Churchill and de Gaulle led to one of the most shocking conflicts of World War II. Was this an attempt by the Allied forces to cause mass desertions from the Vichy forces to the Free French? Or were Churchill and de Gaulle motivated to reassert their respective control of the Middle East? The fight caused the loss of 10,000 lives, numerous ships and an estimated 200 aircraft. The Australian forces, under the command of Lieutenant General John Lavarack, carried out the bulk of the fighting and suffered the most casualties. The Vichy Army was overcome, but even during the bitter campaign, the Free French airmen refused to fire on their Vichy compatriots. Henri de Wailly here presents the story of this extraordinary campaign by the British, Australian and Free French forces in Syria and Lebanon, the true extent of which has largely been forgotten.

Forever England

NEW

The Countryside at War 1914-1918 Caroline Dakers A moving history of the impact of World War I on rural England When war broke out in 1914, conscription seemed unnecessary: there was no shortage of volunteers ready to lay down their lives for England. Caroline Dakers explores exactly what ‘England’ meant to the men and women who fought, died, and survived. She suggests that, with a little subliminal help from literature, art and propaganda, the British volunteer, whether factory worker, farm hand or public school boy, felt that he was fighting for a bucolic vision of ‘old England’ – village, church, meadow and carthorse, rather than city, factory, commerce and motor car. Drawing on a wide range of unpublished papers and family archives, Dakers recreates the world of the countryside at war, through chapters on agriculture (literally ‘the home front’), and life and death in the manor house, vicarage, school and farm.

This is the most complete picture yet of the impact of World War I on rural England; a war which, if only in the ubiquitous village war memorials, still reverberates today.

Reckless Fellows

NEW

The Gentlemen of the Royal Flying Corps Edward Bujak The true story of the birth of the ‘air cavalry’, the Royal Flying Corps, and its role in World War I The Royal Flying Corps (RFC), later the Royal Air Force, was formed in 1912. After 1914 it played a vital role in reconnaissance, supporting the British Expeditionary Force, by establishing air superiority over the Imperial German Air Force. Edward Bujak here combines the history of the air war, including details of strategy, tactics and technical issues with a social and cultural history of the training regime in England.

After 1916, Harlaxton Manor in Lincolnshire became a major training base. The original pilots of the RFC were drawn, in Lloyd George’s phrase, ‘from the stateliest houses in England’. Bujak shows how, with the new influx of traineepilots into this country house world from all backgrounds and from across the Empire, the class divide and unconscious superiority of Edwardian Britain disappeared within the circle of the RFC – absorbed by common purpose and technical expertise. He thus provides an original and unusual take on the air war in World War I, combining military, social and cultural history.

A Century of British Film Distribution Geoffrey MacNab Comprehensive history of British film distribution featuring first-hand interviews Film Distributors are the unsung heroes of cinema. Without them, the film industry would grind to a halt. Drawing on the archives of the Film Distributors’ Association (FDA), as well as on interviews with leading British distributors of today, Delivering Dreams tells the, largely unacknowledged, story of how films were, and are, brought to British cinema-goers.

It profiles some of the most flamboyant and controversial figures involved in UK distribution over the last 100 years, ranging from the founders of huge companies to visionaries who have launched small art house labels. Geoffrey MacNab also explores how the sector has reacted to a rapidly changing market and technological environment, from the transition to sound in the late 1920s to the spectre of TV in the 1950s and the move to digital in the 2000s. Ranging from the films of Charlie Chaplin to The King’s Speech, and published to coincide with the centenary of the FDA’s creation in December 1915, this book highlights the crucial role that distributors have played in maintaining the solid foundations of the British film industry.

Palmerston

NEW in paperback

Denis Judd

Womanising aristocrat? Rabble rousing jingoist?

Who was the real Lord Palmerston?

British Prime Minister Lord Palmerston has enjoyed a rakish reputation as womaniser, careless aristocrat and the apostle of gun-boat diplomacy. He lived through the American War of Independence, both Regency and Victorian England, the age of Pitt and the days of Gladstone and Disraeli. His political career brought him three times to the Foreign Office and twice to the Premiership. He set out as a dutiful Tory, became the darling of Radicals throughout Europe, and ended his career as ‘Old Pam’, the personification of British courage and lionheartedness. But there was more to Palmerston than bluster and patriotism, as Judd so clearly shows in this sympathetic but never uncritical biography. Palmerston was a meticulous and hard-working minister, with hardly enough time for the scandalous personal life with which he is popularly credited.

In this book, Judd provides a multifaceted and nuanced life of this Victorian titan.

Kipling and War

NEW

From ‘Tommy’ to ‘My Boy Jack’ Rudyard Kipling Edited by Andrew Lycett Kipling’s brilliant war writing in one volume for the first time Although Rudyard Kipling never fought, he was one of Britain’s foremost observers of, and commentators on, war. Through his writing on the harsh realities of life as a private and accounts of feats of courage and comradeship during the frontier wars in India, 19th Century British campaigns in Sudan, the Boer Wars and World War I, he became the poet of the common soldier. Although he wrote propaganda for the government in the Boer War and World War I, Kipling was also acerbic in his criticism of military incompetence, deeply compassionate towards the victims of war and despairing of the senseless bloodshed that he witnessed. Through his writing, the voices of countless soldiers and the guns of many battles echo through the years and place Kipling firmly among the leading practitioners of 19th and 20th Century war literature.

A Life in Dissenting Politics Peter Temple-Morris Insider account of recent British political history by a leading Conservative and Labour politician On 20th June 1998 Peter Temple-Morris, Conservative MP for Leominster, crossed the floor to join his rivals on the Labour Party benches. What drove a seasoned Conservative politician – one of the so-called ‘Cambridge Mafia’, with 24 years’ experience as a Conservative MP – to change his allegiance so radically? In this memoir of a long and varied political career, Temple-Morris answers this question, unveiling the slow, gradual process of disillusionment with the Conservative Party, especially under Margaret Thatcher, and the growing appeal of the New Labour movement under Tony Blair. As well as providing an important overview of British domestic politics in the second half of the 20th Century, Temple-Morris also explains his crucial role in Irish politics, especially in the peace process talks which led to the Good Friday Agreement of 1998.

Arab Cinema

REVISED EDITION

History and Cultural Identity Viola Shafik A guide to one of the most compelling cinemas of the world Since it was first published in 1998, Viola Shafik’s Arab Cinema: History and Cultural Identity has become an indispensable work for scholars of film and the contemporary Middle East. Combining detailed narrative history – economic, ideological, and aesthetic – with thought-provoking analysis, Arab Cinema provides a comprehensive overview of cinema in the Arab world. It analyses the ambiguous relationship with commercial Western cinema, and the effect of Egyptian market dominance in the region. Tracing the influence on the medium of local and regional art forms and modes of thought, both classical and popular, Shafik shows how indigenous and external factors combine in a dynamic process of ‘cultural repackaging.’ Now updated to reflect cultural shifts in the last two decades, this revised edition contains a new afterword highlighting the latest developments in popular and in arthouse filmmaking, with a special focus on Iraq, Lebanon, Palestine, and the Gulf States. This new edition introduces readers to some of the most compelling cinematic works of the last decades.

The Land of the Green Man

NEW

A Journey through the Supernatural Landscapes of the British Isles Carolyne Larrington A captivating magical bestiary by a mistress of modern folklore Beyond its housing estates and high streets there is another Britain. A Britain of mist-drenched forests and unpredictable sea-frets: of wraith-like fog banks, druidic mistletoe and peculiar creatures that lurk, half-unseen, in the undergrowth.

How have the remarkably persistent folkloric traditions of the British Isles formed and been formed by the identities and psyches of those who inhabit them? In her sparkling new book, Larrington explores the diverse ways in which fantastical beings have moulded the cultural history of the nation.

Fairies, elves and goblins dance over an eerie, preternatural landscape with brownies, selkies, trows, knockers, boggarts, land-wights, Jack o’Lanterns, the sinister Nucklevee, and even Black Shuck: hell-hound of the Norfolk coast. Larrington shows how mythologies of mermen, Green Men and Wild Men have helped us deal with love and lust, loss and death and continuity and change. Evoking the Wild Hunt, the ghostly bells of Lyonesse, and ranging from Shetland to Jersey, Ireland to East Anglia, this book will captivate those who long for the wild places: the mountains and chasms where Gog, Magog and their fellow giants lie in wait.

The Medieval World of Game of Thrones Carolyne Larrington Discover the medieval myths and legends that inspired Game of Thrones Game of Thrones is a phenomenon. As Carolyne Larrington reveals in this essential companion to George R.R. Martin’s fantasy novels and the HBO mega-hit series based on them, the show is the epitome of water-cooler TV. It is the subject of intense debate in national newspapers; by obsessive fans asking why Westeros has yet to see an industrial revolution, or whether astronomy explains the continent’s climatic problems and unpredictable solstices; and by bloggers and cultural commentators contesting the series’ startling portrayals of power, sex and gender. Yet no book has divulged how George R.R. Martin constructed his remarkable universe out of the Middle Ages. Discussing novels and TV series alike, Larrington explores among other topics: sigils, giants, dragons and direwolves in medieval texts; ravens, old gods and the Weirwood in Norse myth; and a gothic, exotic orient in the eastern continent, Essos. From the White Walkers to the Red Woman, from Casterley Rock to the Shivering Sea, this is an indispensable guide to the 21st Century’s most important fantasy creation.

Quality Hollywood

Markers of Distinction in Contemporary Studio Film Geoff King The first exploration of the rise of the ‘arthouse’ blockbuster What defines ‘quality’ in Hollywood film? Nuanced plots, artful cinematography and serious subjects have traditionally been associated with arthouse and independent film. But the early decades of the 21st Century have witnessed a new era of mainstream ‘quality cinema,’ exemplified by films such as Inception, The Social Network, Blood Diamond and Mystic River. Geoff King unpacks this phenomenon, examining contemporary uses of critical terms like ‘classy,’ ‘quality’ and ‘artistic’, connecting them to cultural taste patterns and industry developments. Spanning star power, celebrity-led production companies, divisions between ‘high’ and ‘low’ culture, the impact of social media on marketing Hollywood films and the changing role of specialty divisions, this book illuminates a major recent shift in Hollywood cinema.

Dissonant Archives

NEW

Contemporary Visual Culture and Contested Narratives in the Middle East Edited by Anthony Downey How are artists from the Middle East and North Africa disrupting the function of the archive?

Archives are often viewed as ordered collections of historical documents that record information about people, places and events. This view nevertheless obscures a crucial element in these processes: the archive, whilst subject to the vagaries of time and history, is also concerned with determining the future.

This feature of the archive has gained considerable urgency in modern-day North Africa and the Middle East where it has come to the fore as a site of social, historical, theoretical, and political contestation. Dissonant Archives is the first book to consider the ways in which contemporary artists, in exploring archival contexts and structures, foreground a systemic and perhaps irrevocable crisis in institutional and state-ordained archiving across the region.

Inside the Freud Museums

History, Memory and Site-Responsive Art JOanne Morra A guide to the Freud Museums: how have their histories and spaces inspired artists and curators?

Sigmund Freud spent the final years of his life at 20 Maresfield Gardens, London, surrounded by all his possessions, in exile from the Nazis. The long-term home and workspace he left behind in Vienna is a seemingly empty space, devoid of the great psychoanalyst’s objects and artefacts. Now museums, December 2015 288 pages 216 x 134mm both of these spaces resonate powerfully.

Since 1989, the Freud Museum London has held over 70 exhibitions by a distinctive range of artists including Sophie Calle, Mat Collishaw, and Tim Noble. The Sigmund Freud Museum Vienna houses a small but impressive contemporary art collection, with work by John Baldessari, Franz West and Ilya Kabakov. In this remarkable book, Joanne Morra offers a nuanced analysis of these historical museums and their unique relationships to contemporary art.

Taking us on a journey through the ‘site-responsive’ artworks, exhibitions and curatorial practices that intervene in the objects, spaces and memories of these Museums, Morra gives a fresh experience of the history and practice of psychoanalysis, of museums and contemporary art.

Monochrome

NEW

Darkness and Light in Contemporary Art Craig Staff How ‘pictures of nothing’ are challenging the art world The monochrome – a single colour of paint applied over the entirety of a canvas – remains one of the more contentious modernist artistic inventions. But whilst the manufacture of these ‘pictures of nothing’ was ostensibly straightforward, their subsequent theorisation has been anything but.

The monochrome is commonly associated with early 20th Century avant-garde painters such as Kazimir Malevich – who pioneered the form with his ‘Black Square’ in 1915 – and, later, Abstract Expressionists such as Mark Rothko. But monochrome art holds equal attraction for artists today. More than a history, this book is the first account of the monochrome’s lively role in contemporary art. Provocative, innovative and timely, it argues that the latest artistic engagements with the monochrome go beyond stylistic concerns and tap into discourses of radicalism. Discussing works by artists such as Kim Beom, Martin Creed, Tom Friedman, Bruno Jakob, Sherrie Levine, Karin Sander and Sara Sizer, this book shows that debate and conflict around the monochrome is very much alive in contemporary visual culture.

Queering Post-Black Art

NEW

Artists Transforming African-American Identity After Civil Rights Derek Conrad Murray How female, gay and lesbian African-American artists are revolutionising black art What impact do sexual politics and queer identities have on the understanding of ‘blackness’ as a set of visual, cultural and intellectual concerns? In Queering Post-Black Art, Derek Conrad Murray argues that the rise of female, gay and lesbian artists as legitimate African-American creative voices is essential to the development of black art. First coined in 2001, the term ‘post-black’ resonated because it articulated the frustrations of young African-American artists over notions of identity and belonging that they perceived to be stifling, reductive and exclusionary. Since then, these artists have begun to conceive an idea of blackness that is beyond marginalisation and sexual discrimination. Conrad Murray considers iconic works by artists including Glenn Ligon, Kehinde Wiley, Mickalene Thomas and Kalup Linzy, which question whether it is possible for blackness to evade its ideologically over-determined cultural legibility. In their own unique, often satirical way, a new generation of contemporary African-American artists represent the ever-evolving sexual and gender politics that have come to define the highly controversial notion of ‘post-black’ art.

Littlejohn A new and concise survey of some of the world’s most subtle and profound philosophical traditions The philosophical traditions of China have arguably influenced more human beings than any other. China has been the home not only of its indigenous philosophical traditions of Confucianism and Daoism, but also of uniquely modified forms of Buddhism. As Ronnie L. Littlejohn shows, these traditions have for thousands of years formed the bedrock of the longest continuing civilisation on the planet; and Chinese philosophy has profoundly shaped the institutions, social practices and psychological character of East and Southeast Asia. The author here surveys the key texts and philosophical systems of Chinese thinkers in a completely original and illuminating way. Ranging from the Han dynasty to the present, he discusses the six classical schools of Chinese philosophy (Yin-Yang, Ru, Mo, Ming, Fa and Dao-De); the arrival of Buddhism in China and its distinctive development; the central figures and movements from the end of the Tang dynasty to the introduction into China of Western thought; and the impact of Chinese philosophers – ranging from Confucius and Laozi to Tu Weiming – on their equivalents in the West.

History of the Royal Navy A History of the Royal Navy

NEW

Seven Years War Martin Robson The Seven Years War (1756-1763) was the first global conflict and became the key factor in creating the British Empire. This book looks at Britain’s maritime strategic, operational and tactical success (and failures), through a wide-ranging history of the Royal Navy’s role in the war. Martin Robson highlights the work of some of the key protagonists in the Royal Navy, such as Admiral Hawke whose appreciation of the wider strategic context at Quiberon Bay in 1759 decided the fate of North America, but he also provides insights into the experience of life in the lower decks at this time. Robson ultimately shows that the creation, containment and expansion of the British Empire was made possible by the exercise of maritime power through the Royal Navy.

Martin Robson is a Permanent Visiting Fellow at the Corbett Centre for Maritime Policy Studies and an Honorary Fellow of the University of Exeter. He is the author of A History of the Royal Navy: The Napoleonic Wars (I.B.Tauris).

A History of the Royal Navy

Empire and Imperialism

NEW

Daniel Owen Spence The British Empire, the largest empire in history, was fundamentally a maritime one. Britain’s imperial power was inextricably tied to the strength of the Royal Navy – the ability to protect and extend Britain’s political and economic interests overseas, and to provide the vital bonds that connected the metropole with the colonies. This book examines the intrinsic relationship between the Royal Navy and the Empire, by examining not only the Navy’s expansionist role on land and sea, but also the ideological and cultural influence it exerted for both the coloniser and colonised. The Navy’s voyages of discovery created new scientific knowledge and inspired art, literature and film. Using the model of the Royal Navy, colonies began to develop their own navies, many of which supported the Royal Navy in the major conflicts of the 20th Century. Daniel Owen Spence here provides a history of the Navy’s role in Empire from the earliest days of colonisation to the present-day Commonwealth. In doing so, he shows how the relationship between the Navy and the Empire played a part in shaping the globalised society we inhabit today.

Daniel Owen Spence is Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of the Free State, South Africa. He is the author of Colonial Naval Culture and British Imperialism, 1931-1967.

I.B.Tauris Short Histories A Short History of the Italian NEW Renaissance Virginia Cox The extraordinary creative energy of Renaissance Italy lies at the heart of modern Western culture. This creativity extended far beyond the visual arts and architecture: dress history, dance history, food history, ritual and ceremonial all contributed to this vibrant rebirth. Virginia Cox here explores the material and economic output of the period, from the late 13th to the 16th Century, when Italy led the world in painting, building, science, literature and music. She examines too the impact of rhetoric and performance on key texts like Machiavelli’s The Prince and Castiglione’s Book of the Courtier, as well as the role of women, both as patrons of the arts and creative artists in their own right. ‘Renaissance woman’, Cox boldly argues, is as important a legacy as ‘Renaissance man’.

Virginia Cox is Professor of Italian at New York University. She is the author of The Renaissance Dialogue: Literary Dialogue in its Social and Political Contexts, Castiglione to Galileo.

A Short History of the Mughal NEW Empire Michael H. Fisher The Mughal Empire dominated India politically, culturally, socially, economically and environmentally, from its foundation by Babur, a Central Asian adventurer, in 1526 to the final trial and exile of the last emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar at the hands of the British in 1858. Throughout the empire’s three centuries of rise, preeminence and decline, it remained a dynamic and complex entity within and against which diverse peoples and interests conflicted. The empire’s significance continues to be controversial among scholars and politicians with fresh and exciting new insights, theories and interpretations being put forward in recent years. This book engages students and general readers with a clear, lively and informed narrative of the core political events, the struggles and interactions of key individuals, groups and cultures, and of the contending historiographical arguments surrounding the Mughal Empire.

Michael Fisher holds the Robert S. Danforth Chair in History at Oberlin College and in 2007 was awarded the Teaching Excellence Award for Social Sciences

by Oberlin. He has been teaching Mughal history for over 30 years and has published widely on various aspects of the interaction between the peoples and polities of India and the expanding British Empire.

Blue Labour

New Updated edition

Forging a New Politics Edited by Ian Geary and Adrian Pabst Foreword by Rowan Williams Following Labour’s defeat at the polls in 2015, and at time when the Party is attempting to redefine its meaning, values and even identity, there is an urgent need for new thinking. Seeking to move beyond the centrist pragmatism of both Blair and Cameron, Blue Labour is attempting to inject into politics a newfound passion and significance with which people can truly engage, and this essential new work speaks to the needs of diverse communities across the country. It is the manifesto of a vital new force in politics: one that could define the thinking of the next generation and beyond.

‘A wonderful collection’ – Phillip Blond, The New Statesman ‘A fresh and engaging approach.’ – The Tablet Ian Geary is an Executive Member of Christians on the Left; Adrian Pabst is Senior Lecturer in Politics at the University of Kent.

The Predistribution Agenda

NEW

Tackling Inequality and Supporting Sustainable Growth Edited by Patrick Diamond and Claudia Chwalisz The concept of predistribution is increasingly setting the agenda in progressive politics. But what does it mean? The predistributive agenda is concerned with how states can alter the underlying distribution of market outcomes so they no longer rely solely on post hoc redistribution to achieve economic efficiency and social justice. It therefore offers an effective means of tackling economic and social inequality alongside traditional welfare policies, emphasising employability, human capital, and skills, as well as structuring markets to promote greater equity. This book examines the key debates surrounding the emergence and development of predistributive thought with contributions from leading international scholars and policy-makers.

Claudia Chwalisz is Policy Researcher at Policy Network. Patrick Diamond is Vice Chair of Policy Network and Lecturer in Public Policy at Queen Mary, University of London. He is the former Head of Policy Planning in 10 Downing Street and Senior Policy Adviser to the Prime Minister.

SAudi Arabia and Iran

NEW in paperback

Power and Rivalry in the Middle East Simon Mabon In the wake of the 1979 Iranian revolution, relations between states in the Middle East were reconfigured and reassessed overnight. Amongst the most affected was the relationship between Iran and Saudi Arabia. The existence of a new regime in Tehran led to increasingly vitriolic confrontations between these two states, often manifesting themselves in the conflicts across the region, such as those in Lebanon and Iraq, and Bahrain and Syria. In order to shed light upon this rivalry, Simon Mabon examines the different identity groups within Saudi Arabia and Iran, proposing that internal insecurity has an enormous impact on the wider ideological and geopolitical competition between the two. With analysis of this heated and uneasy relationship and its impact on the wider Middle East, this is vital for those researching international relations and diplomacy in the region.

Simon Mabon is Lecturer in International Relations in the Department of Politics, Philosophy and Religion at Lancaster University.

The Politics of Iconoclasm

NEW in paperback

Religion, Violence and the Culture of Image-Breaking in Christianity and Islam James Noyes Why have the fighters of ISIS diverted much-needed men and resources from the battlefield to focus on the destruction of historic and religious artefacts in the Middle East? From Christian churches in Syria to Shi‘i mosques and World Heritage Sites in Iraq, little has escaped the depredations of the black flag fundamentalists. Shocking as this destruction may be, violent iconoclasm is nothing new. While the eradications and obliterations of ISIS may have generated headlines of late, the targeted destruction of images – both religious and secular – has a long and infamous history. Noyes shows that, whether false idols or the tombs of kings and shrines of capitalism, the razing of cities, sacred sites and artefacts for religious, political or nationalistic reasons has always been central to the cultural legacy of humanity.

‘Impressive ... The book’s major achievement is to show how central politics has been in the history of iconoclasm’ – Times Literary Supplement James Noyes has taught on religion, culture and conflict at the Paris Institute of Political Studies in France, and works as a policy advisor on these matters in the UK.

Ugliness

NEW in paperback

The Non-Beautiful in Art and Theory Edited by Andrei Pop and Mechtild Widrich From ritual invocations of mythic monsters to the scare tactics of the early 20th Century avant-garde, from the cabinet of curiosities to the identity politics of today, the ugly has been every bit as active as the beautiful … Why then has it been so neglected? This book seeks to remedy this oversight through both broad theoretical reflection and concrete case studies of ugliness in various historical and cultural contexts. Drawing across disciplinary and cultural boundaries, the writers illuminate why ugliness, associated over the millennia with negative categories ranging from sin and stupidity to triviality and boredom, remains central to art and cultural practice.

Andrei Pop is postdoctoral fellow, University of Basel, and Mechtild Widrich is postdoctoral fellow, department of architecture, ETH Zurich.

From Gabriel to Lucifer

NEW in paperback

A Cultural History of Angels Valery Rees Whether in recent popular culture, or back across countless centuries, angels have perpetually enthralled and even terrified us. For sceptics, angels may be no more than metaphors: poetic devices to convey an active divine interest in creation. But for others, angels are real creatures: manifestations of cosmic power with the capacity either to enlighten or annihilate those whose awestruck paths they cross. Valery Rees offers the first comprehensive history of these beautiful, enigmatic and sometimes dangerous beings, whose existence and actions have been charted across the eons of time and civilisation.

The Nazi Holocaust

NEW paperback edition

Its History and Meaning Ronnie S. Landau The Holocaust is one of the most momentous events in human history. Yet, it remains on many levels a baffling and unfathomable mystery. By shunning simplistic ‘explanations’ Ronnie Landau has set out, in a clear, thought-provoking and enlightened fashion, to mediate betweeen this vast, often unapproachable subject and the reader who wrestles with its meaning. This book is an important breakthrough in the struggle to perpetuate the memory of a tragedy which the world is all too ready to forget.

Propaganda, POwer and Persuasion

NEW in paperback

From World War I to Wikileaks Edited by David Welch What are the characteristic features of propaganda, and how can it be defined?

This book traces the development of techniques of ‘opinion management’ from World War I to the war in Afghanistan. It reveals how state leaders and spindoctors, operating at the behest of the state, sought to shape popular attitudes – at home and overseas – endeavouring to harness new media with the objective of winning hearts and minds. In doing so, it provides compelling evidence of how the study and practice of propaganda today is shaped by its history.

Ships and Silver, Taxes and Tribute

NEW in paperback

A Fiscal History of Archaic Athens Hans van Wees In 483 BCE, Themistocles mobilised the revenues from the city’s highly productive silver mines to build an enormous war fleet. This income stream is thought to have become the basis of Athenian imperial power, but Hans van Wees argues otherwise. He shows that Themistocles merely expanded that which already existed. The author reconstructs the scattered evidence for all aspects of public finance, in archaic Greece at large and early Athens in particular, to reveal that a complex machinery of public funding and spending was in place as early as the reforms of Solon in 594 BCE. Public finance was in fact a key factor in the rise of the early Athenian state – long before Themistocles, the empire and democracy.

The Last Trojan Hero

NEW in paperback

A Cultural History of Virgil’s Aeneid Philip HArdie After the Odyssey and the Iliad, Virgil’s masterpiece is arguably the greatest classical text in the whole of Western literature. This sinuous and richly characterised epic vitally influenced the poetry of Dante, Petrarch and Milton.

The doomed love of Dido and Aeneas inspired Purcell, while for T.S. Eliot Virgil’s poem was ‘the classic of all Europe’. The Aeneid has even been viewed as a template and a source of philosophical justification for British and American imperialism and adventurism. In his major new book Philip Hardie explores the many remarkable afterlives – ancient, medieval and modern – of the Aeneid in literature, music, politics, the visual arts and film.

‘A succinct book on a ramifying topic ... enlightening ... leaves the reader wishing for more.’ – Llewelyn Morgan, Times Literary Supplement Philip Hardie is a Senior Research Fellow at Trinity College Cambridge and Honorary Professor of Latin at the University of Cambridge.

The young AtatÜrk

NEW in paperback

From Ottoman Soldier to Statesman of Turkey George W. Gawrych Mustafa Kemal – latterly and better known as Atatürk – is without doubt the towering figure of modern Turkish history. But what was his path to power?

And how did his early career as a soldier in the Ottoman army affect his later decisions as President? The Young Atatürk tracks the lesser covered period of Kemal’s life – from the War of Independence to the founding of the Republic – and shows that it is only by understanding Kemal’s military career that one can fully comprehend how he evolved as one of the 20th Century’s most extraordinary statesmen. Delving into Kemal’s military writings, orders, and political decisions, speeches, proclamations and private correspondences, this book provides a rounded and nuanced portrait of the making of a major statesman.

George W. Gawrych is Professor of History at Baylor University. He is the author of The Crescent and the Eagle: Ottoman Rule, Islam and the Albanians, 18741913 (I.B.Tauris), The Albatross of Decisive Victory: War and Policy between Egypt and Israel in the 1967 and 1973 Arab-Israeli Wars and co-author of Armed Peacekeepers in Bosnia.

Imperial Identity in the Mughal EMpire Memory and Dynastic Politics in Early Modern South and Central Asia

NEW in paperback

Lisa Balabanlilar Having monopolised Central Asian politics and culture for over a century, the colourful and powerful Timurid ruling elite was forced from its ancestral homeland in Transoxiana at the turn of the 16th Century by an invading Uzbek confederation. The Timurids travelled south: establishing themselves as the new rulers of a region roughly comprising modern Afghanistan, Pakistan and northern India, and founding what would become the Mughal Empire. The last survivors of the House of Timur, the Mughals drew invaluable political capital from their lineage, which was recognised for its charismatic genealogy and court culture – the features of which are examined here. By identifying Mughal loyalty to TurcoMongol institutions and traditions, and bringing to life the cultural world of the court, Lisa Balabanlilar repositions the Mughal dynasty at the centre of the early modern Islamic world.

Lisa Balabanlilar is Assistant Professor of South and Central Asian History at Rice University, Texas.

A History of Egyptology: The Golden Age, 1881-1914 Jason Thompson The first comprehensive history of the study and understanding of ancient Egypt, from ancient times to the 21st Century The discovery of ancient Egypt and the development of Egyptology are momentous events in intellectual and cultural history. The history of Egyptology is the story of the people who constructed the picture of ancient Egypt that we have today, recovered the Egyptian past while inventing it anew, and made a lost civilisation comprehensible to generations of enchanted readers and viewers thousands of years later.

This, the second of a three-volume survey of the history of Egyptology, explores 1881-1914, a period marked by the institutionalisation of Egyptology amid an ever increasing pace of discovery and the opening of vast new vistas into the Egyptian past. Wonderful Things affirms that the history of ancient Egypt has proved continually fascinating, but it also demonstrates that the history of Egyptology is no less so. Only by understanding how Egyptology has developed can we truly understand ancient Egypt.

Monarchs of the Nile

NEW

New Revised Edition Aidan Dodson A classic account of the lives and times of the most significant occupants of the ancient Egyptian throne For over 3000 years, the ancient Egyptian monarch was the central figure, the supreme head of the administrative, religious, political, and military state. Not merely a worldly leader, the king was the chief link between the human and the divine, himself the physical offspring of a divine god.

Monarchs of the Nile is a vivid and engaging account of the lives and times of some of the more significant occupants of the Egyptian throne, from the unification of the country around 3000 BCE to the extinction of native rule just under three millennia later. Drawing on two further decades of research since Monarchs of the Nile was first published in 1995, Aidan Dodson provides study of the famous, popular and lesser-known monarchs, bringing together in highly readable form a compelling view of Egyptian kings and all their range of achievements.

CT Imaging of the New Kingdom Royal Mummies Zahi Hawass and Sahar Saleem What the royal mummies reveal about the life and death of ancient Egyptians The royal mummies in the Cairo Museum are an important source of information about the lives of the ancient Egyptians.

The remains of these pharaohs and queens can inform us about their age at death and medical conditions from which they may have suffered, as well as the mummification process and objects placed within the wrappings. Using the latest technology, including Multi-Detector Computed Tomography and DNA analysis, co-authors Zahi Hawass and Sahar Saleem present the results of the examination of royal mummies of the 18th to 20th Dynasties. New imaging techniques not only reveal a wealth of information about each mummy, but render amazingly lifelike and detailed images of the remains.

This latest research has uncovered some surprising results about the genealogy of, and familial relationships between, these ancient individuals, as well as some unexpected medical finds. Historical information is provided to place the royal mummies in context, as the authors seek to uncover the secrets of these most fascinating members of the New Kingdom royal families.

An Istanbul Anthology

NEW

Travel Writing through the Centuries Edited by Kaya GenÇ The entrancing spirit of the ancient city of Istanbul through the eyes of writers and travellers For centuries following its reestablishment as Constantinople in AD 330, Istanbul served as the capital of three great empires: Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman. The city’s mazelike streets and high balconies, its steep alleys, flower gardens, and forested hillsides remain soaked in the vestiges of that imperial past, and it is to that past and to Istanbul’s unearthly moods and waters that so many writers and diarists journeyed in search of escape, knowledge, happiness, or sheer wonderment. An Istanbul Anthology takes us on a nostalgic journey through the city with travellers’ accounts of the sights, smells, and sounds of Istanbul’s bazaars and coffeehouses, its grand palaces and gardens, crumbling buildings, and ancient churches and mosques, and the waters that so haunt and define it. With writers such as Gustave Flaubert, Pierre Loti, Ernest Hemingway, Mark Twain, and André Gide, we discover and rediscover the many delights of this great city of antiquity, meeting point of East and West, and gateway to peoples and civilisations.

Travel Writing through the Centuries Edited by Deborah Manley and Sahar Abdel-Hakim The colour and splendour of Upper Egypt in the words of those who have travelled the shores of the Nile The stretch of the longest river in the world that nurtured the world’s first great civilization has drawn and impressed visitors since ancient times. The Greeks were fascinated by the mysterious annual flood of the Nile that brought both water and nourishing silt to the lands along its banks, while 19th Century travelers were amazed by the magnificent tombs and temples of Upper Egypt. A Nile Anthology brings together the accounts and reflections of visitors and travellers to the Nile between Luxor and Aswan through the ages, from Herodotus in the 5th Century BCE, and the Arab geographers of medieval times, to such 19th Century luminaries as Amelia Edwards, Florence Nightingale, Jean François Champollion, Edward Lane, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. From the practicalities of river travel to descriptions of the pharaonic monuments, via the sights, sounds, and smells of the teeming souks, our writers guide us through a world and an age long gone.

Sinai

NEW

Egypt’s Linchpin, Gaza’s Lifeline, Israel’s Nightmare Mohannad SAbry An unprecedented exposé of the political and security affairs of the Sinai Peninsula The Sinai Peninsula holds a unique strategic and political significance for Egypt and its neighbours. Enclosed by the Suez Canal and bordering Gaza and Israel, Egypt’s rugged eastern province has been the cornerstone of the EgyptianIsraeli peace accords, yet its internal politics and security have remained largely under media blackout. While the international press descended on the capital Cairo in January 2011, Sinai’s armed rebellion was largely ignored. The regime lost control of the peninsula in a matter of days and, since then, unprecedented chaos has reigned. In this crucial analysis, Mohannad Sabry shows that Egypt’s shortsighted security approach has continually proven to be a failure.

Grand Hotels of Egypt

NEW in paperback

In the Golden Age of Travel Andrew Humphreys A colourfully illustrated celebration of Egypt’s famous historic hotels From the earliest resthouses serving travellers on the Overland Route between Britain and Bombay, to the grand Edwardian palaces on the Nile that made Egypt the exotic alternative to wintering on the Riviera, the hotels of Alexandria, Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan were always about far more than just bed and board. As bridgeheads for African exploration, neutral territories for conducting diplomacy, headquarters for armies, providers of home comforts for writers, painters, scholars, and archaeologists in the field, and social hubs for an international elite, more of importance happened in Egypt’s hotels than in any other setting. It was through the hotels that visitors from the West – the earliest adventurers, then the travellers and, finally, the tourists – experienced the Orient. This book tells the stories of Egypt’s historic hotels (including the Cecil, Winter Palace, and Cataract) and some of the people who stayed in them, from Florence Nightingale to Agatha Christie, Conan Doyle to Winston Churchill.

The Traditional Jewelry of Egypt

NEW

Azza Fahmy The story of urban, rural and desert jewelry in modern Egypt, in a beautifully designed new edition For many women of Egypt, their jewelry is their bank – they wear their wealth in their gold. But jewelry in Egypt is also more than mere assets, and its design and manufacture reveal a great array of styles and a high degree of skill and artistry.

In this lavishly illustrated book, Azza Fahmy, herself a worldrenowned designer of jewelry based on traditional motifs, lays before us an Aladdin’s cave of jewelry made in all corners of Egypt over the last 100 years, collected through her extensive travels throughout the country. In this completely redesigned edition of her bestselling book, in a new and elegant format, the author describes the techniques, skills and materials involved in the production of these unique pieces, and recounts her own journey of learning as she apprenticed with the leading master jewelers to become the best known jeweler in Egypt, whose work is worn by world leaders, royalty, and connoisseurs of jewelry around the globe.

Ibn Tulun

NEW

His Lost City and Great Mosque Tarek Swelim An illustrated history of the oldest surviving mosque in Egypt and Africa Ahmad ibn Tulun (835–84 AD), the son of a Turkic slave in the Abbasid court of Baghdad, became the founder of the first independent state in Egypt since antiquity, and builder of Egypt’s short-lived third capital of the Islamic era, al-Qata’i‘ and its great congregational mosque. In telling the story of Ibn Tulun and his successors, architectural historian Tarek Swelim presents a topographic survey of al-Qata’i‘, a city lost since its destruction in 905 AD. He provides a detailed architectural analysis of the Mosque of Ibn Tulun, which was spared the destruction and is now the oldest surviving mosque in Egypt and Africa. Rare archival illustrations and early photographs document the changing appearance and uses of the mosque, while extraordinary 3D computer renderings take us back in time to recreate its architectural development through its early centuries. Plans, drawings, maps and striking modern colour photographs showcase the elegant simplicity of the building’s architecture and decoration. This definitive book will appeal to those interested in or inspired by the beauty of early mosque architecture.
