  Timothy Venning's series of alternative histories explores the pathways of British events from the Anglo-Saxon Age to the English Civil War. In this volume, he presents an in-depth analysis of the Tudor period. Venning discusses the fateful moments at which history could easily have taken a different turn. 
   
   
   
  In a fascinating series of "what if" scenarios, Venning presents a detailed look at the possible and likely results. While speculative, the scenarios are all plausible and rooted in a firm understanding of actually events and their context. In so doing, Venning gives listeners a clearer understanding of the factors at play and why things happened the way they did, as well as a tantalizing view of what might have been. 
   
   
   
  Key questions discussed include: 
   
   
   
  ● Did the pretenders Lambert Simnel and Perkin Warbeck ever have a realistic chance of a successful invasion/coup? 
   
   
   
  ● If Henry Fitzroy, Henry VIIIs illegitimate son, had not died young, might he have been a suitable King? 
   
   
   
  ● What if Edward VI had not died at fifteen but reigned into the 1560s and 70s? 
   
   
   
  ● How might the Spanish Armada have succeeded in landing an army in England, and with what likely outcome?

  An Introduction to the Irish...

  During the Irish Civil War, events of late 1922 and early 1923 together with waves of 'dishonourable' killings created poisoned relations between Republicans and 'Free Staters' which would last for several generations. The most enduring of these controversies, a policy of summary executions carried out by the Provisional Government from November 1922, continues to surround the argument.
  
  
  This book offers a fresh perspective on the causes, development and consequences of the Irish Civil War. Triggered by the signing of the Anglo-Treaty, there were those that would accept nothing less than complete Irish independence. Very few IRA commanders active in the field supported the Treaty and, as happens often in the dissection of civil wars, controversy over the conduct of both sides figures heavily within the text, where,  at a local and national level, it left bitter legacies.
  
  
  This book offers an overview of the war in all regions of Ireland.

  Victimization - The Process of...

  Victimization is a complex and multifaceted process that occurs when an individual or group is subjected to harm, oppression, or injustice. It is not merely the result of a singular event but often an ongoing experience shaped by societal structures, personal relationships, and systemic forces. Understanding victimization requires examining both the immediate and long-term effects on those who suffer, as well as the roles played by perpetrators, bystanders, and institutions that enable or prevent such harm. 
  At its core, victimization involves the exercise of power and control, where one party imposes harm—whether physical, psychological, emotional, or financial—upon another. This harm can be intentional, as in cases of abuse, assault, or discrimination, or unintentional, where systems and structures create disadvantages that lead to victimhood. The process of victimization is not always overt; it can be subtle, embedded within social norms, policies, and expectations that gradually erode a person’s autonomy, dignity, and sense of self-worth. 
  One of the key challenges in defining victimization lies in the perception of victims themselves. Some individuals openly recognize and acknowledge their victim status, while others may resist the label due to fear, shame, or social stigma. Society often imposes expectations on victims—either portraying them as weak and helpless or, conversely, blaming them for their circumstances. This duality can make it difficult for individuals to seek support or justice, reinforcing cycles of suffering and silence.
