Book Synopsis Footsoldiers: Political Party Membership in the 21st Century by : Tim Bale
Download or read book Footsoldiers: Political Party Membership in the 21st Century written by Tim Bale and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-24 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This accessible, rigorously researched and highly revealing book lifts the lid on political party membership. It represents the first in-depth study of six of the UK's biggest parties – Labour, the Conservatives, the Scottish National Party, the Liberal Democrats, UK Independence Party and the Greens – carried out simultaneously, thereby providing invaluable new insights into members' social characteristics, attitudes, activities and campaigning, reasons for joining and leaving, and views on how their parties should be run and who should represent them. In short, at a time of great pressure on, and change across parties, this book helps us discover not only what members want out of their parties but what parties want out of their members. This text is essential reading for those interested in political parties, party membership, elections and campaigning, representation, and political participation, be they scholars and students of British and comparative politics, or politicians, journalists and party members – in short, anyone who cares about the future of representative democracy.

Book Synopsis Rise of the Footsoldier - In My Game, The Choice is a Jail or a Grave by : Carlton Leach
Download or read book Rise of the Footsoldier - In My Game, The Choice is a Jail or a Grave written by Carlton Leach and published by Kings Road Publishing. This book was released on 2009-06-08 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first thing that caught my eye was the geezer with the gold tooth - the second was that he was holding a shooter - and the third that he was pointing it at me.' Carlton Leach is a gangland legend - the mere mention of his name strikes fear into his enemies; yet to his friends he is as loyal and caring as they come. If trouble comes calling, Carlton isn't afraid to let his fists do the talking and woe betide anyone who crosses him, or those close to him. At last, in Rise of the Footsoldier, Carlton gives the full account of his life including how his story has been made into a hugely successful film. Born and raised in East London, Carlton was a key member of the notorious Essex Boys gang and the West Ham InterCity Firm, one of the most violent hooligan gangs to trouble the football terraces during the eighties. He's been shot at, stabbed, glassed - he's even had an axe in his head. Yet the event that really brought turmoil into his life was the murder of his best friend in the infamous Range Rover murders. Carlton vowed that he would find those responsible and make them pay. There isn't much that Carlton hasn't seen or experienced in his life and his tales of violence, gang wars and close calls with death will have you on the edge of your seat. He knows how close he has come to dying and has therefore shut the door on a gangland life. He may have changed but, as he himself says, 'I'll always need to exercise the Carlton Leach brand of justice. It's in me -

Book Synopsis Napoleonic Foot Soldiers and Civilians by : Rafe Blaufarb
Download or read book Napoleonic Foot Soldiers and Civilians written by Rafe Blaufarb and published by Macmillan Higher Education. This book was released on 2011-01-26 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By highlighting the experiences of common soldiers and civilians, this volume by Rafe Blaufarb and Claudia Liebeskind presents a broad view of the Napoleonic Wars not found in typical military histories. The introduction recounts the key events of the wars and how they marked a shift in the modern notion of “total war” and provides necessary political and military background on the issues of recruitment and evasion, the military community, combat and its aftermath, the homefront, and demobilization. The rich collection of memoirs, letters, and popular engravings -- from familiar sources such as German infantryman Jakob Walter to an account of a French woman canteen worker -- offers contrasting voices, some offered here in English for the first time. These documents and images explore core civil-military interactions, including foraging, plunder, sexuality, violence, eating, religion, and commerce. Headnotes to the documents, a chronology, questions for consideration, and a selected bibliography provide pedagogical support.

Book Synopsis LOST FOOT SOLDIERS by : FREDDIE. MITCHELL
Download or read book LOST FOOT SOLDIERS written by FREDDIE. MITCHELL and published by Emerge Publishing Group, LLC. This book was released on 2018-07-30 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fight for justice has been long and hard. People of color have had to fight since they were brought over to the shores of America in the belly of the ships. There are well-known giants in the civil rights Movement, including Rosa Parks, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, and the congressman John Lewis. There were many other valiant civil rights soldiers with recognizable names. But there was an army of nameless, unsung heroes who marched under the threat of jail, tear gas, and brutal beatings. Yet, they continued to fight. They were the foot soldiers. They understood they couldn't ignore the problems of inequality nor could they stop fighting if they hoped to make a mark against bigotry. This book is an account of one of those foot soldiers--FREDDIE JAMES MITCHELL--who started in the movement when he was only thirteen years old. This is his story.
Book Synopsis Ashigaru 1467–1649 by : Stephen Turnbull
Download or read book Ashigaru 1467–1649 written by Stephen Turnbull and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-12-21 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A richly illustrated study of the origins, recruitment, training, and combat of the ashigaru, a vital element of samurai armies. The ashigaru were the foot soldiers of old Japan. Although recruited first to swell an army's numbers and paid only by loot, the samurai began to realise their worth, particularly with arquebuses and spears, until well-trained ashigaru made up a vital part of any samurai army. Drawing on previously untranslated Japanese sources, Stephen Turnbull examines the origins, recruitment, training and use in war of the ashigaru. He surveys the range of ashigaru activity, including their roles as sailors and catapult artillery men as well as the disciplined ranks of warriors that they had become. Illustrated throughout with specially commissioned artwork and previously unpublished illustrations, this book tells the story of the ashigaru for the first time.
Download or read book Trawniki Guards written by Josh Baldwin and published by Schiffer Military History. This book was released on 2020-09-28 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a study of some of the rank-and-file men, the foot soldiers, who carried out the "Final Solution." The Trawniki Guards were a group of some 5,000 men--some of whom were Soviet prisoners of war, and some civilians, primarily Ukrainians--the Germans recruited during WWII to aid them in murdering the Jews of Europe in an operation known as "Aktion Reinhard." Upon completion of "Aktion Reinhard" (which murdered an estimated 1.5 million Jews, or one in four of all Holocaust victims), the Trawnikis were also used to guard concentration camps in Germany and Austria. These are the men who shot people and worked at the gas chambers. This book will explore who they were, and give a face to those faceless enforcers of mass murder.
Download or read book The Black Panthers written by Bryan Shih and published by Bold Type Books. This book was released on 2016-09-13 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Brilliant, painful, enlightening, tearful, tragic, sad, and funny, this photo-essay book is at its core about healing, and about the social justice work that still needs to be done in the era of hip-hop, Black Lives Matter, and the historic presidency of Barack Obama." -- Kevin Powell, author of The Education of Kevin Powell: A Boy's Journey into Manhood "A brilliantly conceived volume. Bryan Shih and Yohuru Williams demonstrate why the Panthers' story-its lessons and failures-even fifty years after its founding remains key to understanding national and international struggles for freedom and justice today." -- Cheryl Finley, professor and director of visual studies, Cornell University Even fifty years after it was founded, the Black Panther Party remains one of the most misunderstood political organizations of the twentieth century. But beyond the labels of "extremist" and "violent" that have marked the party, and beyond charismatic leaders like Huey Newton, Bobby Seale, and Eldridge Cleaver, were the ordinary men and women who made up the Panther rank and file. In The Black Panthers, photojournalist Bryan Shih and historian Yohuru Williams offer a reappraisal of the party's history and legacy. Through stunning portraits and interviews with surviving Panthers, as well as illuminating essays by leading scholars, The Black Panthers reveals party members' grit and battle scars-and the undying love for the people that kept them going.
Book Synopsis The Golden Spurs of Kortrijk by : Randall Fegley
Download or read book The Golden Spurs of Kortrijk written by Randall Fegley and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2010-06-28 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Franco-Flemish region of medieval Flanders was a locus of important trade routes in the 13th and 14th centuries. Located in a prime position between the Holy Roman Empire and the North Sea (present-day northern Belgium), the urban centers of the region were surpassed in population only by the city-states of central and northern Italy. This positioning afforded the Flemish citizens of the region great prosperity and they formed guilds to protect their rights, regulate their working hours and standardize their wages. These guilds produced a cohesive unit of people eager to retain the rights they had gained. In 1302, French cavalry faced the determined Flemish soldiers on foot at Kortrijk (Courtrai). This book analyzes the battle that ensued, its origins, consequences and legacy. It also examines the everyday lives of the inhabitants of Flanders; urban dwellers, knights, nobles, women and others. This is the first major English-language study of the historic 14th century battle between the French and the Flemish, a conflict whose repercussions linger in modern Belgium. Instructors considering this book for use in a course may request an examination copy here.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: '[A] masterly novel' - The Sunday Times 'Strong echoes of George Smiley' - Financial Times 'A novel of real quality. Top brass' - The Times Thriller of the Month ***** Beware of Russians bearing gifts. Defectors are not always welcome. Is the information they bring worth the cost of protecting them for the rest of their lives? Is it even genuine? Might they be double agents? These are some of the questions facing MI6 when a Russian agent hands himself in to them in Denmark. As a team begins to assess his value, his former employers in the Kremlin develop a brutal plan to show that no defector will ever be safe. And they know where to find him. Which means there must be a mole in MI6. So it is that the cavaliers of Six find themselves being interrogated by nondescript Jonas Merrick of Five - the man called back from retirement and his beloved caravan, the man the young guns call the Eternal Flame because 'he never goes out.' But while he may be grey, Jonas is also ruthless. As he quietly works through the suspects in London, and violent mayhem breaks out in Denmark, Jonas plans not just to unmask a traitor, but to hit back at the Russians with deadly force. First encountered in The Crocodile Hunter, Jonas Merrick is set to become one of the great figures of modern spy fiction. ***** Readers love THE FOOT SOLDIERS: 'I was completely gripped by the plot and interdepartmental jealousies and rivalries. I couldn't put it down!' ***** 'A book that fans of the George Smiley series will love' ***** 'A brilliant, suspenseful and contemporary thriller . . . A wonderfully complex and unputdownable tale of defectors, traitors, internal politics . . . and assassination' ***** 'Seymour continues to carry the flame for the espionage genre, and his sublime creation, Jonas Merrick, a 21st-century George Smiley . . . is slowly but surely becoming a classic literary creation' ****
