Sinossi

Political Museums explores how museums become tools for shaping public opinion and reinforcing political power through curated history. These institutions, often perceived as neutral, can selectively present historical narratives to promote specific ideologies, influencing how we collectively remember the past. The book investigates the creation and manipulation of historical narratives within museum settings, highlighting how historical events are reinterpreted or omitted to serve political goals. By examining museum display designs, the book reveals how these spaces actively construct and reinforce narratives that legitimize political power. The book analyzes case studies from various countries, showcasing the diverse strategies used to promote specific political ideologies. It delves into the ethical implications of politically motivated historical representation, such as censorship and the suppression of dissenting voices. Readers will gain insights into how museums function as agents of propaganda, shaping historical narratives to align with state power. Understanding historical revisionism becomes crucial as the book progresses, empowering visitors to critically assess museum information and consider alternative perspectives. Ultimately, Political Museums aims to inform and provoke critical thinking about the role of these institutions in shaping our understanding of the past. It challenges the assumption of objectivity in museum displays, urging visitors to become more critical consumers of historical information. The book progresses by introducing the concept of curated history, analyzing case studies, and discussing ethical implications, providing a comprehensive understanding of political museums and their impact on collective memory.

Defend Us in Battle - Catholic...

James Hagerty, Barry Hudd

The Catholic Church has always had regard for the spiritual and pastoral welfare of those in the military and for centuries priests have ministered to armed forces personnel in war and in peace.

 
Chaplains have served and continue to serve all branches of the British armed forces. The size and organization of the military and the nature of warfare has been transformed, but the chaplain’s vocation remains unchanged. Defend Us In Battle traces the growth and development of Catholic chaplaincy to British armed forces from the seventeenth to the twenty-first century.

 
Taking as its starting point the emergence of a recognized system of military chaplaincy established by the Society of Jesus in Reformation Europe, this wide-ranging survey considers the ministry of chaplains through succeeding centuries. It relates the struggles that Catholic soldiers and sailors endured with British officialdom before being granted their own chaplains.

 
Defend Us In Battle describes the ministry of priests who over the centuries and across the world have voluntarily provided Catholic service personnel with the solace of religion far away from home and frequently in danger. There emerges a powerful narrative of priestly service not always known or recognized by those outside the military.

Take Charge and Move Out: The...

Lewis McIntyre

The birth of the US Navy’s “Take Charge and Move Out” (TACAMO) mission which provides essential airborne communications to the US nuclear deterrence forces.The US Navy’s “Take Charge and Move Out” (TACAMO) mission provides essential airborne communications to the US nuclear deterrence forces. Today it is a thriving community, respected by the Navy and the US strategic defense forces. But it wasn’t always so. Despite the enormous importance of the mission, for the first decade of their existence, the TACAMO squadrons did not provide a viable career path for officers, instead being a “one and done” tour for the junior officers who found themselves unluckily so assigned. A second tour in the squadrons was considered to be professional suicide. But in 1975, inspired by a significant commanding officer, a handful of lieutenants put their faith in a community that did not yet exist, betting their careers on that second tour. From their faith and courage was born the TACAMO community. This is the story of the birth of TACAMO, in the words of those who built the community from scratch.

From Acorns to Oaks - An Urgent...

Michael Heseltine

When Michael Heseltine wrote his acclaimed autobiography, Life in the Jungle, he assumed his political career was over. He returned to Haymarket, his publishing business, and intended to explore more of the world and pursue his passions outside politics.
His assumption was wrong. David Cameron called him, tentatively at first but gradually with increased responsibility, back to the corridors of power.
This second memoir is a potpourri of reminiscences about Heseltine's life and previously unexplored aspects of his stellar political career. But the main reason for Heseltine taking up his pen again has been to look back on the fundamental changes he was able to mastermind while in government and to set out the policies that are urgently needed to unite the country by driving growth, increasing prosperity and restoring hope. He combines this with new revelations about the seismic Westland scandal, the establishment cover-up that caused him to resign from Margaret Thatcher's Cabinet, and a damning assessment of what he considers the grievous act of self-harm inflicted on Britain by Brexit.
This extraordinary new memoir offers an urgent agenda to rebuild Britain from one of our last great statesmen, who has been at the forefront of business and politics for the past sixty years.
