Book excerpt: The story behind D-Day begins in 1939 when Nazi Germany, led by Adolf Hitler, attacked Poland and ignited World War Two. The following year, the Germans occupied France and Western Europe and launched a vicious air war against Britain. In 1941, they invaded the Soviet Union. Seemingly unstoppable, the Nazis now held virtually all of Europe. They imposed a ruthless system of control and unleashed the horror of the Holocaust. However, by 1943, the tide had begun to turn in favor of the Allies, the forces opposed to Germany. In the east, despite huge losses, the Soviets began to force the Germans back.

Download or read book The Impact of British Rule Upon the Gold Coast Economy written by Ian Bullock and published by . This book was released on 1966 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1901 uirixl 1957 the component areas of the Gold Coast - Ashanti, the Northern Territories and the Colony - were administered by the United Kingdom as a single colonial unit. In addition to providing a political framework for the development of nationalism and, ultimatelj^, the modern state of Ghana, British rule also influenced the local economy. The present study is concerned with tracing the political impact of Great Britain upon the Gold Coast economy, during the colonial period. Although there is good reason to believe that the original annexations were inspired by the possibility of economic advantages accruing to the metropolitan country, there is little evidence to support the view that deliberate ? exploitation 9 followed the establishment of British rule. On the other hand it is clear, in retrospect, that the policies adopted by the local Administration and the imperial Government were not always in the best interests of the Gold Coast. In particular, it was not until after 1945 that any serious attempts were made to counteract the development of an excessive dependence upon external trade. World War II was in many ways a critically importa nt period for the Gold Coast. By 1945 the political objective of self-government for colonial territories had been accepted by Great Britain, and the state was believed to occupy a more important economic role than had previously been allowed, The war-time expedients of state-marketing and various government controls over the economy were retained in British West Africa after 1945 - in addition, the governments of the four colonies undertook a number of new development projects, particularly in the industrial field. The prominence of public enterprise was one of the more significant colonial legacies bequeathed to the new state of Ghana in 1957-

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the Second World War over half-a-million African troops served with the British Army as combatants and non-combatants in campaigns in the Horn of Africa, the Middle East, Italy and Burma - the largest single movement of African men overseas since the slave trade. This account, based mainly on oral evidence and soldiers' letters, tells the story of the African experience of the war. It is a 'history from below' that describes how men were recruited for a war about which most knew very little. Army life exposed them to a range of new and startling experiences: new foods and forms of discipline, uniforms, machines and rifles, notions of industrial time, travel overseas, new languages and cultures, numeracy and literacy. What impact did service in the army have on African men and their families? What new skills did soldiers acquire and to what purposes were they put on their return? What was the social impact of overseas travel, and how did the broad umbrella of army welfare services change soldiers' expectations of civilian life? And what role if any did ex-servicemen play in post-war nationalist politics? In this book African soldiers describe in their own words what it was like to undergo army training, to travel on a vast ocean, to experience battle, and their hopes and disappointments on demobilisation. DAVID KILLINGRAY is Professor Emeritus of History, Goldsmiths, and Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of Commonwealth Studies, University of London.

Book excerpt: A masterful and comprehensive chronicle of World War II, by internationally bestselling historian Antony Beevor. Over the past two decades, Antony Beevor has established himself as one of the world's premier historians of WWII. His multi-award winning books have included Stalingrad and The Fall of Berlin 1945. Now, in his newest and most ambitious book, he turns his focus to one of the bloodiest and most tragic events of the twentieth century, the Second World War. In this searing narrative that takes us from Hitler's invasion of Poland on September 1st, 1939 to V-J day on August 14, 1945 and the war's aftermath, Beevor describes the conflict and its global reach -- one that included every major power. The result is a dramatic and breathtaking single-volume history that provides a remarkably intimate account of the war that, more than any other, still commands attention and an audience. Thrillingly written and brilliantly researched, Beevor's grand and provocative account is destined to become the definitive work on this complex, tragic, and endlessly fascinating period in world history, and confirms once more that he is a military historian of the first rank.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For nineteenth-century Britons, the rule of law stood at the heart of their constitutional culture, and guaranteed the right not to be imprisoned without trial. At the same time, in an expanding empire, the authorities made frequent resort to detention without trial to remove political leaders who stood in the way of imperial expansion. Such conduct raised difficult questions about Britain's commitment to the rule of law. Was it satisfied if the sovereign validated acts of naked power by legislative forms, or could imperial subjects claim the protection of Magna Carta and the common law tradition? In this pathbreaking book, Michael Lobban explores how these matters were debated from the liberal Cape, to the jurisdictional borderlands of West Africa, to the occupied territory of Egypt, and shows how and when the demands of power undermined the rule of law. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
