Now, a messenger has come to Jadd, bearing a summons from the Sollan Emperor for the one-time hero.

The Algerian War 1954–62 - Martin Windrow - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

The Algerian War 1954–62 - Martin Windrow - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

It is hard to convey the public impact of France''s war to maintain her colonial grip on Algeria; yet in the late 1950s this ugly conflict dominated Europe''s media to almost the same extent as would Vietnam ten years later. It brought France to the very verge of military coup d''etat; it destroyed thousands of careers; bitterly divided the French military and political classes for a generation; and sent hundreds of thousands of European settler families into often ruinous exile. This title details the history, organisation, equipment and uniforms of the forces involved in the Algerian War (1954-1962).

The Emperor Far Away - David Eimer - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

The Emperor Far Away - David Eimer - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Far from the glittering cities of Beijing and Shanghai, China’s borderlands are populated by around one hundred million people who are not Han Chinese. For many of these restive minorities, the old Chinese adage ‘the mountains are high and the Emperor far away’, meaning Beijing’s grip on power is tenuous and its influence unwelcome, continues to resonate. Travelling through China’s most distant and unknown reaches, David Eimer explores the increasingly tense relationship between the Han Chinese and the ethnic minorities. Deconstructing the myths represented by Beijing, Eimer reveals a shocking and fascinating picture of a China that is more of an empire than a country.

The Principles of Corporate Sentencing in EU Law - Vanessa Franssen - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

The Principles of Corporate Sentencing in EU Law - Vanessa Franssen - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

This unique book provides a comprehensive account of the principles governing corporate sentencing in EU law. The EU is strengthening its grip on national criminal law in its fight against corporate crime, and the punishment of corporations features prominently among its concerns. However its current efforts to approximate Member States’ criminal laws are weakened by the diversity of national sentencing rules and a thorough analysis of corporate sentencing is lacking both at the level of the EU and in most national systems.In this important book Vanessa Franssen draws on comparative scholarship of Member State legal systems as well as EU law, and makes practical suggestions for corporate sentencing goals that should be pursued by the EU. The book addresses academics, judges, practising lawyers, civil servants and anyone who wants to learn more about this fascinating topic of EU law.

Football - Matthew Taylor - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Football - Matthew Taylor - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Football''s journey from the playing fields of Victorian public schools to the television screens of millions is a fascinating one. From modest origins, football rapidly took a grip on the affections and loyalties of the late nineteenth-century working classes and was transformed into a business involving thousands of paying spectators and the buying and selling of ''star'' performers. After the golden age of the 1940s and ''50s, attendances declined towards a nadir reached in the 1980s, only to re-emerge stronger than ever with the arrival of the Premier League as a global phenomenon in the 1990s. This book takes the reader back to the world of clanking turnstiles and baggy shorts, recreating the changing experiences of watching and playing football throughout the twentieth century. Drawing on expert knowledge and rare archival material, it charts the rise, fall and rebirth of the Beautiful Game in Britain.

Inside South Africa’s Foreign Policy - John Siko - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Inside South Africa’s Foreign Policy - John Siko - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

South Africa is still the major-player in African diplomacy, its military resources far outstripping those of other nations on the continent. It also has traditionally taken the lead role in Africa''s united negotiations with other power blocs. Yet the recent consensus has been that South Africa''s diplomacy over the last decades has been a disappointing failure-from appearing to back the controversial Mugabe regime to accusations that it is failing to utilize its position to encourage Chinese investment. John Siko has had insider access to the corridors of power in South Africa, and, with access to the major political players, charts the inability of South Africa to develop a coherent policy over the last four decades. In particular, he reveals the tight grip Mbeki has over foreign policy, to the detriment of SA''s standing in the world, and argues South Africa''s isolationist style of policy making has not changed enough after Mandela''s election in 1994.
