Beschreibung

In "War and the Arme Blanche," Erskine Childers presents a compelling treatise on the ethics of military engagement and the psychological ramifications of warfare, particularly in the context of the early 20th century conflicts. Written with a meticulous attention to detail, Childers employs a narrative style that blends personal reflections with historical analysis, capturing the stark realities of combat through both prose and poetry. The book effectively critiques the conventional view of modern warfare, advocating for an acknowledgment of the moral choices that soldiers must confront, as well as the broader societal impacts of armed conflict. Childers' nuanced exploration of the 'arma blanche'—the bayonet and its symbolic representation of direct, close combat—positions the text within a rich literary tradition concerned with the human experience of war. Erskine Childers was not only a writer but also a passionate political activist, deeply influenced by his experiences in the Boer War and his strong nationalist sentiments. His background as an Irishman with British colonial ties provided a unique perspective on issues of imperialism and freedom, which are deeply woven into this work. Childers' firsthand encounters with the horrors of war serve as the foundation for his poignant reflections, urging readers to contemplate the ethical implications of their societies' military actions. "War and the Arme Blanche" is a must-read for those seeking to understand the multifaceted nature of warfare and its lasting consequences on humanity. Ideal for scholars, historians, and any thoughtful readers interested in military ethics and literary critiques of war, this book invites readers to engage in a vital conversation about the responsibilities of soldiers and the moral exigencies faced in times of conflict.

    The founding of Rome is one of the most famous legends in history, blending myth and reality to shape the origins of one of the greatest civilizations of the ancient world. According to Roman tradition, the city was established in 753 BCE by Romulus, the first king of Rome, after he and his twin brother, Remus, were rescued and raised by a she-wolf. This tale, passed down through generations, symbolized Rome’s strength, resilience, and divine favor. While the legend is deeply ingrained in Roman identity, historians believe the city’s origins were more complex, involving the gradual unification of Latin and Etruscan tribes. 
    The early formation of Rome was influenced by its strategic location along the Tiber River. The site provided access to trade routes, fresh water, and natural defenses, making it an ideal settlement for early inhabitants. Archaeological evidence suggests that small villages existed in the area long before Rome’s legendary founding, with early settlers engaging in agriculture, trade, and warfare. These early communities gradually coalesced, forming a unified society under a monarchical system. The first rulers of Rome were part of the Roman Kingdom, a period that saw the development of political institutions, religious practices, and military organization that would shape the city’s future. 
    Roman society during its early years was structured around family and clan-based systems, with the patricians, or aristocratic families, holding the majority of political power. The king was the central authority, responsible for religious duties, military leadership, and lawmaking. However, his rule was supported by a council of elders known as the Senate, which played an advisory role. Over time, tensions arose between the patricians and the common people, or plebeians, who sought greater political representation. These early power struggles foreshadowed the later conflicts that would lead to the transition from monarchy to a republic.

    What was happening elsewhere in the world when Robert the Bruce was outlawed and Mary Queen of Scots lost her head? When Genghis Khan was on the warpath and Ivan the Terrible was the Russian czar, what was happening in Scotland? Find the answers to these questions in 2,000 years of Scottish history presented alongside what was happening in the rest of the world.
    By placing events in Scotland in relation to those elsewhere, we can see what is different or distinctive about Scotland's experience. Simultaneously we can also see where movements in Scottish history were part of wider cultural or political change in Europe and beyond. John Knox's fiery sermons of the 1560s were connected into a wider Protestant Reformation, but they also represented a singularly Scottish version of a European phenomenon.
    Connecting Scotland's History also gives us a history of 'many Scotlands'. We see the hybrid nature of a country where multiple peoples have come together in a distinctively Scottish mixture. From the Gaels, Picts and Norse people to more recent influxes from England, Ireland, continental Europe and beyond, Scotland's history tells us of internal connections as well as connections between Scotland and the wider world.
