Sinossi

Friedrich Engels' seminal work, "The Condition of the Working-Class in England in 1844," serves as a profound investigation into the social and economic conditions faced by the working class during the Industrial Revolution. Written with a meticulous eye for detail, Engels employs a blend of sociological analysis and vivid exposition to portray the dire realities of life for laborers in urban industrial centers. The text embodies a critical response to capitalism, articulating the transformative power dynamics that arose from rapid industrialization, and is often considered a cornerstone in the development of socialist thought and labor rights discourse. Engels, a German philosopher, social scientist, and collaborator of Karl Marx, drew from both personal experiences and extensive empirical research while writing this work. Having witnessed the grinding poverty and exploitation firsthand, Engels felt a moral obligation to expose the injustices inflicted upon the working class. His role as a co-founder of Marxism also established a framework for his critiques, as he sought to illuminate the intrinsic link between economic systems and social conditions, paving the way for revolutionary thought. This book is a must-read for anyone intrigued by the historical aspects of labor movements, socio-economic theory, or the roots of modern socialism. Engels not only documents the plight of workers but also challenges readers to reflect on the implications of industrial capitalism, making this text as relevant today as it was over a century ago.

    The social importance placed on food and wine in the Greek world was even more pronounced and had profound consequences for the rest of the world. As one modern historian aptly put it, “How classical Athens was fed is not a matter of marginal importance. Nothing less than the material base of a brilliant civilization is at issue.” Indeed, it was through the ability to create a food surplus that the ancient Greeks were able to establish their poleis and, from these, go on to develop the political and social structures that built the backbone of Western Civilization. Drinking for pleasure, as opposed to simply meeting the body´s requirement for hydration, was so crucial in Greece that a couple historians noted, “In a way, the study of the classics is the study of the consumption of alcohol.” While this assertion is an oversimplification, there is no doubt that alcohol played a crucial role in the evolution of Greek culture. 
Indulgence is at the heart of modern perceptions of eating and drinking for the ancient Romans. The majority of primary sources depicting food and drink that have survived show rich patricians reclining at a table loaded with exotic foods, and Roman diners are often depicted as gorging themselves over numerous courses served over many hours. Of course, the history of eating and drinking for the wider population within the more than 1,000-year span of the empire was somewhat different. What the richest ate was markedly different from the fare on offer to their slaves, and between these two extremes, there were numerous socioeconomic groups whose eating and drinking habits varied enormously. Moreover, since the Roman Empire encompassed much of Europe and the Middle East, the different kinds of food and drinks available in Rome were vast.

    Given the length of time the United States spent in Iraq, there is a perception that there was no consideration before the war of what should be done after coalition forces arrived in Baghdad and removed Saddam Hussein. However as this unofficial history reveals, there was a great deal of planning to address how to achieve the policy objectives for Iraq set by the Bush administration. Kevin Benson—director of plans for the United States Third Army, the ground forces command headquarters for GEN Franks' Central Command, at the start of the war—details the development of the invasion plan and its subsequent execution from D-Day in March 2003 until the change of command of operations in Iraq and the departure of Third Army in June 2003. 
 
 
 
He addresses the persistent trope that "the Army did no planning" for "Phase IV," revealing that extensive plans were proposed, and were met with very little interest in Washington. The book covers the difficulties encountered in dealing with Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, from getting his approval on the number of forces requested to conducting the campaign to find the "smoking gun" of WMD; the instructions given to Army, Marine, and coalition forces; and the daily secure video teleconferences with Central Command and the Pentagon, and the rather remarkable conversations and guidance that came from these meetings.
