Synopsis

In "The Balkans," Arnold Toynbee delves into the complex historical and cultural dynamics of Southeast Europe, examining the region's multifaceted identity and its historical oscillation between conflict and cooperation. Through a rich narrative that intertwines historical analysis with philosophical inquiry, Toynbee employs a comparative approach, situating the Balkans within the broader European context while emphasizing the unique influences of geography and religion. The prose is both accessible and erudite, reflecting Toynbee's interest in the interplay between societal values and historical events, thus inviting readers to ponder the cyclical nature of history. Arnold Toynbee, a British historian and philosopher of history, was deeply influenced by his contemporaries and the tumultuous events of the 20th century, including both World Wars and the fragmentation of empires. His experiences witnessing the aftermath of these conflicts informed his perspective on the Balkans as a crucial theater for understanding broader patterns of human civilization and societal resilience. Toynbee's scholarly work reflects his belief in the interconnectedness of history, offering a lens through which to view the challenges faced by modern societies. "The Balkans" is recommended for anyone interested in the geopolitical intricacies of Europe, as it provides profound insights into the socio-cultural landscapes that continue to shape contemporary political discourse. Readers will find Toynbee's analytical rigor and philosophical engagement enlightening, making this work an essential addition to the library of anyone seeking to comprehend the enduring complexities of the Balkans.

    How the miracle on the beaches saved a nation. A gripping account of one of the most famous episodes of the Second World War 
     
     
     
    In May 1940 British and Allied troops on mainland Europe were in a perilous situation: cut off and surrounded, at the conclusion of the bloody Battle of France they faced complete annihilation. It would be a devastating blow, handing Europe to the Nazis. 
     
     
     
    But over a few frantic days, the greatest evacuation in history managed to salvage hope, saving the total destruction of the army and hundreds of thousands of soldiers lives. It was a pivotal and defining moment in the war, one Churchill described as a "miracle" in his "we shall fight them on the beaches" speech. 
     
     
     
    Bestselling author John Harris describes in vivid detail how the evacuation developed on a day-by-day basis, and destroys more than one myth associated with Dunkirk. Packed with authentic atmosphere and first-hand recollections, the retreat and the desperate lifting of the weary British expeditionary force is seen in its tragic but spirited entirety, an epic of courage and confusion without parallel.

    Does faith belong in politics? According to Rob Nijhof it most certainly does. Everyone has some deep convictions that shape the way in which one conducts politics. People can be inspired to political wisdom from different sources. That diversity presents a good reason to listen to each other. It remains useful to draw from the broad Christian tradition that gave the Netherlands and Europe a unique constitutional and democratic character. This tradition traces its roots back to before the Renaissance or the Reformation. This book argues for a politics where ones values are acknowledged and where all players in the 'field strive together for wisdom and the general good for society. Churches can be relevant in this. The Political efforts of Christians normally proceed via the diverse political parties. However, the current network society offers Christians the chance to engage in alliances to act as a broad movement. Christian parties can give this movement a political face. It would be good if Christians would also across the borders of political parties seek to cooperate in a network. At European level this is happening in the European Christian Political Movement (ECPM). This book originally was published (in Dutch) in 2016 by the Mr. G. Groen van Prinsterer Stichting, the scientiffic Institute of the ChristenUnie political party which affter the 2017 election again took part in a coalition government, together with VVD, CDA and D66.
