Alfred The Great and: The Army of the Hardway Road

J J Harlow

Casa editrice: Grosvenor House Publishing

Sinossi

This is the story of England from its birth under the leadership of Alfred the Great, and the farmers who marched with him and formed the Army of The Hardway Road.
The Hardway Road was the first English army. It was a people's army - named after an ancient track way - and made up of ordinary working men and boys who left their farms and other places of work to fight for freedom against the tyranny of Viking invaders, who were destroying the country in a fashion, not dissimilar to many of those who populate the modern Conservative and Labour Parties, and who are themselves, ripping apart elements of society today, with their self-serving ideology and mendacious hypocrisies.

What Iranians Want - Women Life...

Arash Azizi

The first major book on the uprisings in Iran in 2022 and 2023 
 
On Tuesday 13 September 2022, all Mahsa Amini has planned is a day shopping in Tehran. Her birthday is next week. But she is arrested as she comes out of the subway – the Guidance Patrol deem her hijab inadequate. On Friday she is pronounced dead. By Sunday, women have taken to the streets across Iran, setting their headscarves on fire and cursing the Supreme Leader. Months later, workers down their tools and businesses close. The battle-cry everywhere: Women, Life, Freedom. 
 
This isn’t a passing protest wave; something has changed irrevocably. Arash Azizi guides us through Iran ablaze, history being made in real time. From an International Women’s Day celebrated inside Iran’s most notorious prison to mass strikes in Kurdistan, ordinary Iranians are taking risks to fight for a better future.  
 
Even as the regime spills blood in retaliation, Iranians have not given up. Today one thing’s clear: no Supreme Leader can turn the clock back. A different Iran is within sight; Azizi shows us what it might look like.
