Sinossi

The History of the Prince of Wales' Civil Service Rifles offers a meticulous chronicle of one of the most distinguished British volunteer regiments, detailing its inception, operational engagements, and the societal context in which it thrived. Written in a clear yet evocative style, the book draws upon an array of primary documents, including regimental accounts, letters, and photographs, thereby immersing readers in the lives of the soldiers and the evolution of military service during the age of imperial expansion. This historical narrative not only captures the valor and camaraderie of the Rifles but also situates them within the broader tapestry of British military and social history, emphasizing themes of duty, patriotism, and community resilience. The author, an anonymous chronicler, likely had intimate knowledge of the regiment's history, possibly as a participant or a dedicated enthusiast of military heritage. This connection to the Rifles lends authenticity and passion to the narrative, offering a uniquely personal perspective that enriches the storytelling. The anonymity further invites readers to focus on the collective memory of the regiment rather than the individual author, thereby reinforcing the communal spirit that the organization represents. This book serves as an essential resource for historians, military enthusiasts, and anyone interested in understanding the complex interplay between civilian life and military service in Britain. With its robust research and engaging prose, it captivates both academic readers and casual history buffs alike, making it a worthwhile addition to any library.

    Combining poignant memoir and historical research, a son of Holocaust survivors grapples with the dream of Zionism and its consequences.Israel: A Personal History takes off where Göran Rosenberg's internationally acclaimed and award-winning childhood memoir, A Brief Stop on the Road from Auschwitz, ends. After his father's suicide in 1960 in a small industrial town in Sweden, the remainder of the family, a single mother with two children, emigrates to Israel. At first fully absorbed into the world of pioneer Zionism, enchanted by its visions, formed by its ethos, Rosenberg would eventually embark on a journey of discovery among betrayed ideals, buried stories, false promises, and erased villages.The result is a deeply personal, painstakingly researched, and beautifully written exploration of the contradictory visions that went into the Zionist project, as well as of the ethnic violence, oppression, discrimination, and dispossession caused by its realization. This book is both an exciting history of ideas and the political autobiography of a Jewish European intellectual, a child of dreams and disillusionments, an astute observer of our times.

    The Pilgrims - History and...

    The Pilgrims, also known as the Pilgrim Fathers, were a group of English settlers who made the historic journey across the Atlantic on the Mayflower and founded the Plymouth Colony in what is now Plymouth, Massachusetts. The colony was named after the port of Plymouth in England, which had been the final departure point for their voyage. The Pilgrims were part of a religious movement rooted in the Puritan faith, but with distinct beliefs that set them apart from other Puritans at the time. 
    The Pilgrims were part of a religious group called the Brownists, or Separatists, who believed that the Church of England was beyond reform. They shared many of the same Calvinist and Puritan religious convictions as the broader Puritan community, particularly in their emphasis on personal piety, Bible study, and the rejection of Catholic practices. However, unlike other Puritans, the Pilgrims felt that the Church of England was corrupt and that their congregations should be completely separate from it. This belief led them to seek religious freedom in places where they could practice their faith without interference from the English state church, which they saw as a violation of their spiritual beliefs. 
    Initially, the Pilgrims found refuge in Holland, where they lived for several years in the city of Leiden. The Netherlands offered a more tolerant environment for religious dissenters, allowing them to practice their faith freely. However, the Pilgrims faced challenges in Holland, including economic difficulties and concerns about the erosion of their cultural identity. They eventually decided to seek a new home in the New World, where they could establish a society that would align with their religious principles.
