Download or read book The Red Collar written by Jean-Christophe Rufin and published by Europa Editions. This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A beautifully memorable and unusual story about war and what it does to us” from the bestselling author and founder of Doctors Without Borders (The Independent). In 1919, in a small town in the province of Berry, France, under the crushing heat of summer, a war hero is being held prisoner in an abandoned barracks. In front of the door to his prison, a mangy dog barks night and day. Miles from where he is being held, in the French countryside, a young extraordinarily intelligent woman works the land, waiting and hoping. A judge whose principles have been sorely shaken by the war is traveling to an unknown location to sort out certain affairs of which it is better not to speak. Three characters. In their midst, a dog who holds the key both to their destinies and to this intriguing plot. Full of poetry and life, The Red Collar is at once a delightfully simple narrative about the human spirit and a profound work about loyalty and love. “A superbly crafted little gem that does everything a novel can do in less than 150 pages . . . It’s a lucky reader who gets to experience the power of The Red Collar.” —Shelf Awareness “A graceful, unpretentious little miracle, a morality play of immense skill.” —The Irish Times “In The Red Collar, a delicate and poetic novel, Rufin examines that which makes us human.” —L’express (France) “Without special effects, with simplicity and the pure pleasure of telling a story, Jean-Christophe Rufin explores the meaning of faithfulness, loyalty, and honor.” —Le Figaro (France)

Book Synopsis Armies of the First Carlist War 1833–39 by : Gabriele Esposito
Download or read book Armies of the First Carlist War 1833–39 written by Gabriele Esposito and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-12-28 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The First Carlist War broke out after the death of King Ferdinand VII, the king restored at the end of the Peninsular War thanks to Wellington's victory. The crown was claimed by both his daughter Isabella, backed by the Liberal party and his brother Don Carlos, at the head of northern ultra-conservatives centred in the Basque provinces and Navarre. The Liberals or 'Cristinos' were supported by a 10,000-strong British Legion of volunteers led by a former aide to Wellington as well as the British Royal Navy, a Portuguese division, and the French Foreign Legion. With both armies still using Napoleonic weapons and tactics, early victories were won by the Basque general Zumalacarregui. After his death in 1835 a see-saw series of campaigns followed, fought by conventional armies of horse, foot and guns, supported by many irregulars and guerrillas. This little known multi-national campaign provides a fascinating postscript to the Peninsular War of 1808–14, and its uniforms present a colourful and varied spectacle.
Book Synopsis Red-collar Criminals by : Nadrien Bishop
Download or read book Red-collar Criminals written by Nadrien Bishop and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term Red-Collar (RC) Criminal refers to a white-collar criminal who commits a murder to prevent further exposure of the fraudulent activity. The purpose of study is to identify which psychopathic traits are present in red-collar criminals that may be absent in white-collar criminal by conducting a comparative analyses of the criminal types using the Hare Psychopathy Checklist-Revised 2 (PCL-R2). This study contributes to the growing body of knowledge of red-collar criminals by producing quantitative data to support the psychopathic nature of these individuals. It was hypothesized that there will be a significant difference between red-collars and white-collar criminals on the Antisocial Facet and Lifestyle Facet. The sample consisted of 14 participants. Results indicated significant difference of the mean of ranks on the Antisocial Facet and Total Score. This suggests that red-collar criminals are more likely to have early behavior problems, commit various crimes, and have higher levels of psychopathic characteristics.
Book Synopsis Czechoslovak Armies 1939–45 by : Nigel Thomas
Download or read book Czechoslovak Armies 1939–45 written by Nigel Thomas and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2024-01-18 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Featuring rare photos, detailed colour illustrations and insignia tables, this study explores the contribution made by Czech and Slovak troops fighting alongside Allied forces during World War II. Following the Anglo-French failure at the Munich Conference in March 1938 to prevent a Nazi take-over of Bohemia-Moravia (modern Czech Republic/Czechia), many frustrated Czech and Slovak soldiers sided with Allied forces and fought alongside their armies – first in Poland, then in France, and finally from Britain. Using depictions of relevant uniforms and equipment plus photos of the troops in action, military uniformology expert Nigel Thomas explains how the Czech Army was organized and how it fought alongside Allied forces in the Middle East and at Normandy. He describes the involvement of free Czech agents operating from Britain in Operation Anthropoid, the assassination of Nazi governor Reinhard Heydrich in occupied Bohemia-Moravia, and the part Czech soldiers played in mutinies in both Italy and Prague against German occupation which ultimately helped to secure a final Allied victory.

Download or read book Tongzhi Living written by Tiantian Zheng and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2015-10-01 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tongzhi, which translates into English as “same purpose” or “same will,” was once widely used to mean “comrade.” Since the 1990s, the word has been appropriated by the LGBT community in China and now refers to a broad range of people who do not espouse heteronormativity. Tongzhi Living, the first study of its kind, offers insights into the community of same-sex-attracted men in the metropolitan city of Dalian in northeast China. Based on ethnographic fieldwork by Tiantian Zheng, the book reveals an array of coping mechanisms developed by tongzhi men in response to rapid social, cultural, and political transformations in postsocialist China. According to Zheng, unlike gay men in the West over the past three decades, tongzhi men in China have adopted the prevailing moral ideal of heterosexuality and pursued membership in the dominant culture at the same time they have endeavored to establish a tongzhi culture. They are, therefore, caught in a constant tension of embracing and contesting normality as they try to create a new and legitimate space for themselves. Tongzhi men’s attempts to practice both conformity and rebellion paradoxically undercut the goals they aspire to reach, Zheng shows, perpetuating social prejudice against them and thwarting the activism they believe they are advocating.

The book offers theories, practices and models for strategic transformations during succession.Readers will be able to enjoy insights into a critical evaluation of the intersection between succession and transformation.

Book Synopsis Turkish army & navy 1826-1850 by : Chris Flaherty
Download or read book Turkish army & navy 1826-1850 written by Chris Flaherty and published by Soldiershop Publishing. This book was released on 2023-03-07 with total page 577 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks at the development and organization of Turkish Army, Navy and Police uniforms from 1826 till the early 1850s. In 1826, use of Janissary as the main Soldier-type ended and new Soldiers were uniformed, organized, equipped and trained according to a European Model Army design. In 1826, following crushing of the Janissary Revolt, and their formal disbandment, the new Mansure Army, was formed under Abdul Mahmud II, 30th Sultan of the Ottoman Empire. Reforms continued throughout the first half of the 19th Century, till the era of Sultan Abdulmecid I, saw reorganization into the Nizamiye Army. Ongoing reforms substantially changed the Turkish Soldier’s appearance, and their system of rank insignia, and created the modern Turkish Army, familiar to historical enthusiasts in the Crimean, and later wars.
