Download or read book Britain in Iraq written by Peter Sluglett and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the end of World War I, international pressures prevented the Allies from implementing direct colonial rule over the former Arab provinces of the Ottoman Empire. Instead, the Allies created a system of mandates for the governance of the Middle East. France was assigned Lebanon and Syria, and Britain was assigned Iraq, Palestine, and Transjordan. First published in 1976, Britain in Iraq has long been recognized as the definitive history of the mandate period, providing a meticulous and engaging account of Britain's political involvement in Iraq as well as rare insights into the motives behind the founding of the Iraqi state. Peter Sluglett presents a historical narrative of the development and implementation of the mandate in the face of considerable opposition in both Iraq and Britain and shows how the British maintained a "reliable" group of Iraqi clients in power to protect imperial interests. Sluglett explores the changing relationship between Britain and Iraq over the eighteen years of occupation and mandate, the interactions between Shi'ite and Sunni populations, the position of the Kurds, the boundary between Turkey and northern Iraq, and policies relating to defense, land tenure and the tribes, and education. A new conclusion attempts to analyze the legacy of the mandate and to offer some explanation for Iraq's continuing weakness as a state and the structural obstacles preventing the emergence of a plural political system.
Book Synopsis The Cadaver King and the Country Dentist by : Radley Balko
Download or read book The Cadaver King and the Country Dentist written by Radley Balko and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2018-02-27 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A shocking and deeply reported account of the persistent plague of institutional racism and junk forensic science in our criminal justice system, and its devastating effect on innocent lives After two three-year-old girls were raped and murdered in rural Mississippi, law enforcement pursued and convicted two innocent men: Kennedy Brewer and Levon Brooks. Together they spent a combined thirty years in prison before finally being exonerated in 2008. Meanwhile, the real killer remained free. The Cadaver King and the Country Dentist recounts the story of how the criminal justice system allowed this to happen, and of how two men, Dr. Steven Hayne and Dr. Michael West, built successful careers on the back of that structure. For nearly two decades, Hayne, a medical examiner, performed the vast majority of Mississippi's autopsies, while his friend Dr. West, a local dentist, pitched himself as a forensic jack-of-all-trades. Together they became the go-to experts for prosecutors and helped put countless Mississippians in prison. But then some of those convictions began to fall apart. Here, Radley Balko and Tucker Carrington tell the haunting story of how the courts and Mississippi's death investigation system -- a relic of the Jim Crow era -- failed to deliver justice for its citizens. The authors argue that bad forensics, structural racism, and institutional failures are at fault, raising sobering questions about our ability and willingness to address these crucial issues.
Book Synopsis For King And Country by : Brian MacArthur
Download or read book For King And Country written by Brian MacArthur and published by Abacus. This book was released on 2014-02-27 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Far more than an anthology, FOR KING AND COUNTRY is Brian MacArthur's attempt to write a history of the First World War by drawing on the writings of those who were present at the events they describe. Those writings will be drawn from a broad range of sources: from, most obviously, the officers and men who served on the western front at the Somme and elsewhere, accounts of fear and tedium, horror and occasional joy; also from those were left behind on the home front to wait for news of their loved ones. As well as letters, diary entries and memoir extracts, the book will also include the songs sung in the trenches by the men at the front; there are poems too, the less well known alongside the familiar. The material reproduced will be linked by Brian MacArthur's commentary and notes to create a seamless and movingly immediate narrative of the First World War.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FROM THE HEART OF BELFAST COMES A TERRORIST THREAT THAT SPELLS DOOM FOR BRITAIN'S ONCE AND FUTURE KING . . . AND THE REST OF US AS WELL What SAS Captain Trevor Stirling doesn't know may kill him¾along with every man, woman, and child alive. Stirling thinks his mission is simple: follow a terrorist into the year AD 500 to stop a Northern Irish fanatic bent on murder. If the terrorist succeeds in killing Artorius, the Briton Lord of Battle and the most revered icon of British history, before his greatest military victory, the time-space continuum will fracture, destroying the British nation. And, coincidentally, the rest of the world. In a tale where no one is ever quite who or what they seem, hidden enemies and unexpected allies play out a drama of 21st-century terrorism against the backdrop of Arthurian Britain at its darkest hour. One man, alone in time, struggling to save an entire universe from extinction, must choose between duty to his mission and the growing conviction that he should forsake everything he holds dear to follow a higher duty¾to risk it all. At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).
Book Synopsis For King and Country by : T.L. Smythe
Download or read book For King and Country written by T.L. Smythe and published by Eric Olson. This book was released on 2014-05-20 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I am a simple soldier I am not the strongest man, nor the fastest. I am not the best with the sword or the bow. I am not the quickest to get the point or the wittiest with a retort. I can lift a great weight, run fast, spar with a sword, hunt with a bow, laugh at a jest and respond with a pun. I am not the best or brightest or fastest or smartest or most flippant. Yet I do well in all areas. Not being the best keeps me humble and inspires me to strive for better. While being amongst the best gives me the confidence to always push forward. I joined the Kings Army directly from the farm the day after my Day of Majority rite. I was not driven out for dishonest actions, nor did I run from abusive parents. I did not hunger for great adventure though I did become restless in the tedium of a farmers life. In the end my choice was simple. The King called and I answered. This is my story.

Book Synopsis For King and Another Country by : Shrabani Basu
Download or read book For King and Another Country written by Shrabani Basu and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-10-22 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over a million Indian soldiers fought in the First World War, the largest force from the colonies and dominions. Their contribution, however, has been largely forgotten. Many soldiers were illiterate and travelled from remote villages in India to fight in the muddy trenches in France and Flanders. Many went on to win the highest bravery awards. For King and another Country tells, for the first time, the personal stories of some of these Indians who went to the Western Front: from a grand turbanned Maharaja rearing to fight for Empire to a lowly sweeper who dies in a hospital in England, from a Pathan who wins the Victoria Cross to a young pilot barely out of school. Shrabani Basu delves into archives in Britain and narratives buried in villages in India and Pakistan to recreate the War through the eyes of the Indians who fought it. There are heroic tales of bravery as well as those of despair and desperation; there are accounts of the relationships that were forged between the Indians with their British officers and how curries reached the frontline. Above all, it is the great story of how the War changed India and led, ultimately, to the call for independence.
Book Synopsis The Lame Take the Prey for King and Country by : M.L. Ulinger
Download or read book The Lame Take the Prey for King and Country written by M.L. Ulinger and published by Elm Hill. This book was released on 2019-10-08 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lame Take the Prey / For King and Country is a voice of reconciliation and hope- a welcome relief to a torn nation under God. Though a direct contradiction to circumstance, it's a timeless principle of Scripture- that in brokenness there's strength. From this framework comes God's view on "greatness" - that it's not just assumed as a birthright, or belongs only to the ages, but finds a home in us, as God calls us to be a cut above the rest. Brokenness attracts the mercies of God who raises up broken people to do big things and to become benefactors of blessings others only dream about. You can't dream big enough for God! For the Kingdom of God and the healing of our great nation, God has a plan for each life yielded to Him. When it looks too late for what you planned, it's not too late for what God has planned. You see the pieces. God sees the picture. You endure the preparation. God encounters you with His purpose. Like a "fast ball in," when the call of God comes over the plate, you'll know it in your spirit. And what's waited for tomorrow, you'll do today. "You can never cross the ocean until you have the courage to lose sight of the land."- Christopher Columbus There will never be a perfect moment to do a great thing!

Written from a mother’s perspective, Helen shares stories of peaks, valleys, and a family trusting God for provision. Helen Smallbone’s heartfelt story illustrates what it means to really let God lead, which almost always means living outside the box of how the world says to live. How did an ordinary Australian family produce two Grammy Award–winning artists?Rebecca St. James and for KING & COUNTRY? What happened to bring the Smallbones through closed doors and to new beginnings in the United States? In Behind the Lights, Helen shares not only these stories of her family but of the life lessons they all learned along the way. In 1991 Helen and her husband, David, packed up their family and sixteen suitcases to move from Australia to the United States. Completely isolated from the support of family and friends, they relied on God to provide them with hope and direction. Helen watched her children join forces as Rebecca St. James’ career grew, soon followed by blossoming careers for the others?as artists, entrepreneurs, filmmakers?and the rise of Joel and Luke’s for KING & COUNTRY on Christian music charts. Helen shares untold stories and insights into how her family worked and stuck together, constantly relying on their faith to guide the way. Helen’s journey includes: - Meeting her future husband with a cockatoo on her shoulder - The family’s move to the states in blind faith - The kindness of neighbors and the local church that gave them the encouragement they so desperately needed - Years of touring alongside Rebecca and the formation of for KING & COUNTRY - The ways God led and enabled her to homeschool and think about education differently - An inside look at the stories and dynamics of the entire Smallbone family No matter where you are in life, Helen shows through her own experiences that what God has done in her life, He will do in yours, too.

Book excerpt: Our families have feuded for years, but when I get myself hurt during a winter storm, Dawson King rides in like a cowboy Prince Charming and tucks me into his bed until I get better. It’s suddenly hard to remember why I don’t like him. From Marie Johnston comes an enemies to lovers, small town romance. Dawson King’s mom died because of my dad’s poor decisions, and ever since, I’ve been at the bottom of the King Ranch manure pile. Years later, our circumstances couldn’t be more different. I’m left running my decrepit ranch, and he’s right next door, in his big house, with his fat and happy cattle, and he sneaks treats to my horse. Everyone in town loves him while hating me is their favorite game. Yet when I get hurt in the middle of a snow storm, he’s the only one there to help me. When I’m recovering at his place, he takes care of me, and I start to forget the resentment between us and remember the friendship we had as kids. He treats me like he sees beyond my caustic personality and the high emotional barriers I’ve erected thanks to my rough upbringing. What I don’t know is that he’s hiding a secret that gives him millions of reasons behind his motivation to get close to me. The clock is ticking for Dawson and his generous trust fund, and if I don’t succumb to his intoxicating charm, I’ll end up back in the hovel I came from with a broken heart. But if I fall hard, I’m not sure if he’ll have a reason to be there to catch me. King's Country is a standalone novel in the Oil Kings series.

Book Synopsis For Science, King & Country by : Roy M. MacLeod
Download or read book For Science, King & Country written by Roy M. MacLeod and published by Uniform. This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even in his lifetime, Henry Gwyn Jeffreys Moseley, who died at Gallipoli in 1915, was widely regarded as the most promising British physicist of his generation. Had he survived, he could well have won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1916. His death provoked in Britain a reassessment of the role that scientists might play in war. This book of essays by eleven scholars is a commemoration of his life, his work, and his ongoing legacy. Linked with the 2015 exhibition 'Dear Harry ... Henry Moseley: A Scientist Lost to War, held at the Oxford Museum of the History of Science. This book charts his brief career, military service and his lasting influence in a field of science which is rapidly developing, and foreshadowing the innovation of new materials. For Science, King and Country speaks to both historians and to scientists, and draws on a wealth of newly discovered archival material, artefacts, and interpretations. Together, it presents a comprehensive account of a young scientist whose brief but mercurial career led the way to a new understanding of nature, and to shaping the future of chemistry and physics ever since.
