Sinossi

Guerilla War Facts explores the complex world of guerilla warfare, detailing its historical evolution and significant impact on global conflicts. The book examines how smaller, less equipped forces have challenged and often overcome conventional military powers using unconventional tactics. Guerilla warfare is not a modern invention; its roots lie in ancient history, with examples such as the Roman Empire's struggles against insurgent tribes. The book highlights how the 20th and 21st centuries have seen an increase in guerilla conflicts due to decolonization, ideological struggles, and technological advancements.

The book emphasizes that guerilla warfare is a mix of military strategy, political mobilization, and social dynamics. Successful movements adapt to exploit the weaknesses of their adversaries while leveraging local support and terrain. The approach begins with early examples to set historical precedents, then focuses on principles of guerilla strategy and tactics like hit-and-run attacks, the role of ideology and popular support, and case studies of both successful and unsuccessful campaigns. It concludes by examining the implications for modern military strategy and international relations.

By integrating historical analysis with strategic theory and socio-political context, Guerilla War Facts offers a balanced and evidence-based assessment of guerilla warfare's effectiveness and consequences. It uses historical records, military reports, and scholarly analysis to support its arguments. This book is valuable for students of military history, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding the dynamics of modern warfare and asymmetrical warfare.

The Madman - His Parables and Poems

Kahlil Gibran

The book explores themes of madness, love, spirituality, and the human condition. The essays are presented as the musings of a madman who wanders the streets and countrysides, speaking in riddles and offering cryptic insights into life and the nature of existence. Through the character of the madman, Gibran explores the idea that true wisdom and understanding can only be gained by stepping outside of societal norms and expectations, and by embracing the irrational and the seemingly incomprehensible. Overall, "The Madman" is a profound and moving work that challenges readers to question their own beliefs and assumptions about the world, and to embrace the madness and uncertainty that lies at the heart of the human experience. Read in English, unabridged.

A Relational vision for Europe:...

Matthew N. Williams

The political landscape of Europe is more fractured today than at any time since the Second World War. There are such strong polarising forces that the rhetoric of unity sounds increasingly empty. At the same time, European Christian Democracy has lost its distinctive identity and it threatens to be incorporated into one or other of the competing sides. Is there a promising way forward? This book sets out a relational vision that can act as a revitalising and unifying force. By reaching beyond the cultural and traditional roots of Christian division, we find in the biblical text a unique source for political common ground. So often the Bible has been used in a divisive way; but at its heart is a message that establishes and sustains relationships at every level of society. With this publication we can begin to see how this relational vision becomes reality.

Becoming Baba Yaga - Trickster...

Kris Spisak, GennaRose Nethercott

When darkness, fear, and instability inundate our daily lives, folktale figures like Baba Yaga speak to the dichotomy of our existence—the hope and the horror, the magic and the mundane. At once an old hag and an enchantress, a demon and wish granter, a feminist and nothing more than a fairytale, Baba Yaga is an endlessly complex folktale character. 
 
 
  
Becoming Baba Yaga provides an in-depth look at the Baba Yaga mythos and history through Slavic folklore. Filled with historical and cultural context, analyses, and the stories themselves that add depth to the conversation. A comprehensive resource for anyone hoping to learn more about this ambiguous character and how her multifaceted presence still ripples through the present day, Becoming Baba Yaga is as thoughtful as it is illuminating. 
 
 
  
Spisak explores Baba Yaga's connection to nature as an Earth goddess and as an herbalist. She also delves into the Shadow Self and Baba Yaga's aspect as a trickster and places her in a modern context as not merely a witch of the woods but also as an archetype and force for finding your own path. Becoming Baba Yaga shares how she is both a force for good as much as evil and a feminist before her time.

Screwed - Britain's Prison...

Ian Acheson

When Daniel Khalife escaped from Wandsworth in September 2023, the nation got a glimpse into the heart of the prison system, and what they saw there was chaos. This came as no surprise to Ian Acheson, who had spent years warning of the disasters to come.
Screwed is the inside story of the collapse of His Majesty's Prison Service, told by someone who had a front-row seat to it all. Acheson went from officer to Governor in less than a decade, and during that time he witnessed the uniformed organisation he was proud to serve crumble into lethal disarray. This uncompromisingly brutal account exposes the politics and operational decisions that have driven our prisons to a state where rats roam freely, prisoners are forced to use slop buckets, violence and intimidation are normalised and it is easier to get a bag of heroin than a bar of soap.

Concluding that the crisis is not unfixable, however, Acheson outlines a new corporate culture and mission that puts its faith in the officers who walk the landings every day: order restored, potential rescued, society safeguarded.
