Synopsis

Sculpting in War delves into the profound connection between art, military history, and remembrance, exploring how sculptors have transformed the harsh realities of war into lasting monuments. These war sculptures serve not only as aesthetic objects but also as potent historical documents, reflecting evolving societal attitudes toward armed conflict. From ancient victory monuments to contemporary memorials, the book examines the creation, meaning, and impact of these sculptures, revealing their role in shaping cultural memory. One intriguing aspect is how these works evoke emotions like grief and hope, contributing to collective healing.

 
The book progresses chronologically, starting with the earliest forms of war commemoration and moving through distinct historical periods, including classical antiquity, the World Wars, and modern conflicts. Each chapter focuses on specific artistic styles, technological innovations, and socio-political contexts that influenced the creation and reception of these works. By drawing on diverse sources, including historical photographs and artist biographies, Sculpting in War offers a nuanced understanding of the complex relationship between art and war, making it valuable for art historians, military historians, and anyone interested in understanding the role of art in shaping our understanding of war.

    This book has beautiful poetry about Jamaica’s flora and fauna in part as well as glimpses of some of her people. As we celebrate Jamaica’s 60th Jubilee and my 50th this year I think the works must go forth for the readers and listeners pleasure.

    In The First Fleets, Benjamin C. Schaffer reveals how, contrary to widespread beliefs, the American colonies had a long tradition of independent naval defense decades before the Revolution. He demonstrates that Anglo-American governments established and maintained significant provincial naval forces and that the history of provincial navies illuminates broader aspects of colonial history and the colonies' ultimate break with the British Crown. Based on meticulous research, Schaffer recounts the sea-borne threats that American colonies faced from the French, Spanish, pirates, and others. He reviews colonial governance and the relationships between colonial governments and Great Britain. Highlighting Britain's scant naval power in North America, Schaffer demonstrates how the vulnerable coastal colonies undertook their own self-defense. 
     
     
     
    Schaffer's study offers many fascinating episodes from colonial history. Establishing a navy was controversial in pacifist-minded, Quaker-dominated Pennsylvania. South Carolina deployed its scout-boat navy to pursue enslaved Africans who fled colonial capture. The first paper money issued in North America was an initiative to pay for a naval expedition against French Quebec. These and other episodes show the intimate connection between these little-known provincial navies and the major sociopolitical developments of their day.

    Where empire rose, mercy fell. 
    In No Place for Mercy, ancient Rome is unmasked—not as the marble-clad cradle of civilization, but as a brutal stage where sex, violence, and power played their most calculated roles. With a piercing lens, this provocative and deeply researched work reveals how sexual violence was not only a consequence of conquest but a deliberate tool of political manipulation and imperial propaganda. 
    From the mythologized Rape of the Sabine Women to the whispered scandals of imperial courts, No Place for Mercy exposes how Rome’s leaders wielded control over bodies as a means to control the narrative, transforming victims into symbols and violence into spectacle. 
    Drawing from primary sources, inscriptions, and visual art, this groundbreaking book explores how Roman elites exploited sexual violence to define citizenship, masculinity, and moral order. It challenges romanticized visions of antiquity and forces us to confront the uncomfortable truths beneath Rome’s glorious facade. 
    Bold, unflinching, and urgently relevant, this is history that speaks to today’s conversations about power, gender, and the weaponization of sexuality. For scholars, students, and anyone who dares to ask what lies beneath the empire’s polished stone, No Place for Mercy is an essential and unforgettable read.
