Synopsis

War Tactics: Land explores the monumental changes in military strategy and organization during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, focusing on the clash between France's mass conscription armies and Britain's professional forces. This period witnessed significant tactical innovation, such as the adoption of skirmishers and the development of the division and corps organizational structures, forever changing land warfare. Understanding these shifts is crucial, as they established the foundation for modern military practices; for instance, the French emphasis on maneuver warfare contrasted sharply with the British focus on disciplined linear tactics.

The book analyzes how mass conscription revolutionized battlefield tactics and forced the evolution of officer corps. It contrasts the merit-based French promotion system with the traditional British system of patronage, demonstrating how each nation adapted to the demands of war. By examining the political and social context of the French Revolution, the book elucidates how these factors influenced military developments. Ultimately, War Tactics: Land demonstrates how the era's changes redefined military thinking and practices.

The narrative progresses from an introduction of the French and British military systems to an examination of tactical innovations and transformations within the officer corps. Later chapters trace the British tactical evolution in response to French challenges, culminating in an assessment of the long-term impact of these changes on military doctrine. This offers a comparative analysis of the French and British military systems, providing a nuanced understanding of the factors that shaped warfare during this pivotal period of military history.

In the Company of Radical Women...

Rosemary Hennessy

In the Company of Radical Women Writers rediscovers the political commitments and passionate advocacy of seven writers who as young women turned to communism around the Great Depression and, over decades of national crisis, spoke to issues of labor, land, and love in ways that provide thought-provoking guidance for today. Rosemary Hennessy spotlights the courageous lives of women who confronted similar challenges to those we still face: exhausting and unfair labor practices, unrelenting racial injustice, and environmental devastation. 
 
 
 
As Hennessy shows, the documentary journalism and creative and biographical writings of Marvel Cooke, Louise Thompson Patterson, Claudia Jones, Alice Childress, Josephine Herbst, Meridel Le Sueur, and Muriel Rukeyser recognized that life is sustained across a web of dependencies that we each have a duty to maintain. Their work brought into sharp focus the value and dignity of Black women's domestic work, confronted the destructive myths of land exploitation and white supremacy, and explored ways of knowing attuned to a life-giving erotic energy that spans bodies and relations. In doing so, they expanded the scope of American communism. 
 
 
 
In the Company of Radical Women Writers reveals their groundbreaking reconceptions of the political and provides bracing inspiration in the ongoing fight for justice.

Moving Past Marriage - Why We...

PhD Jaclyn Geller

A must-listen for anyone who has felt they are at a disadvantage simply because they are single or unmarried. 
 
 
 
Married Americans enjoy over 1,000 benefits and entitlements that are withheld from our nonmarital counterparts. Health insurance, immigration rights, tax privileges (such as the estate tax), and hiring policies favor the married. Marriage is financially supported and incentivized by the federal government. Social customs such as blockbuster weddings, subvented honeymoons, and gifts reserved for wedded couples reify matrimony as a centering norm and further the idea that "marriage is best," a commonplace in popular psychology, where marriage-averse people are often tarred as "commitment-phobes." Despite this blatant and widespread prejudice, nonmarital Americans—nonmarital people—have not galvanized as a group to demand equality and inclusion. Why? 
 
 
 
Moving Past Marriage argues that it is because of our troubled relationship to history. As women's history once was, nonmarital history has been buried, so the disenfranchisement that nonmarital people share in wedlock-dominated societies, as well as our remarkable, far-ranging achievements, have been hard to spot. In recovering our own history, nonmarital people can become self-aware as a group and begin to challenge marriage-centric thinking and practice.

The Search for Reagan - The...

Craig Shirley

Never before has anyone explored the mind, soul, and heart of Ronald Reagan. The Search for Reagan explores the challenges and controversies in Reagan's life and how he successfully dealt with each, depicting a man who was never as conservative as some conservatives wanted him to be, but rather as conservative as he was comfortable being—a man who wanted to win on his own terms and integrity. 
 
 
 
Ronald Reagan was a singularly unique man and conservative who championed a wildly successful revolution—leading to more freedom and less government for the American people and to the fall of communism, while boosting American morale. He was the first president in many years who believed optimism from the Oval Office had a direct bearing on the affairs of the nation. As a consequence, he left office more popular than when he entered, with a whopping 73 percent approval. He understood that American conservatism was based upon the individual and not the group. In his presidency, he solved the mystery of high inflation that had bedeviled his predecessor, high interest rates, and high gas prices. He created over twenty million new jobs, and the number of American millionaires grew from 4,414 to 34,944. He is considered by most historians to be one of our four greatest presidents, along with George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Franklin Roosevelt.

EU-Africa digital partnership -...

Marianna Lunardini, Darlington...

By 2050, Africa's population is projected to reach approximately 2.5 billion people. By the end of the 21st century, the African continent will account for 40.6 per cent of the world's working age population, underscoring an urgent need to create at least 20 million new jobs annually. These demographic transformations present both opportunities and challenges for EU-Africa cooperation under both the Mattei Plan and Global Gateway frameworks. For Africa in particular, the digital sector has the potential to drive innovation, spur economic growth, empower rural communities, foster continental integration and accelerate progress towards achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Agenda 2063. At the same time, Africa's digital transformation is sparking discussion over asymmetric power relations that mirror past historical injustices. With majority of digital infrastructure, platforms and services originating either in China, North America and to a lesser extent Western Europe, questions around technological dependency, lack of transparency, data sovereignty and the risks of perpetuating "digital colonialism" have come to the fore. The EU-Africa digital partnership under Mattei Plan and Global Gateway frameworks can serve as catalysts for strengthening African agency by enhancing digital governance frameworks, investing in targeted capacity-building programmes and mobilising resources to bridge infrastructure and financing gaps.
This edited volume aims to provide rigorous analysis of the main challenges and opportunities for digital cooperation and partnership between the EU and Africa through two key European policy instruments, the EU Global Gateway and Italy's Mattei Plan. The volume situations EU-Africa digital partnership within a broader digital landscape increasingly being shaped by geopolitical and geo-economic rivalry among global powers enabling informed analysis of the EU-Africa partnership on the global geopolitical chessboard. The analysis focuses on four macro-themes: (i) digital governance frameworks and policy, (ii) technological control and data sovereignty, (iii) digital infrastructure gaps, and (iv) opportunities and challenges for Italy-EU-Africa digital partnership going into the future. Furthermore, the book delves into the current state of global digital landscape from the perspectives of both Africans and Europeans and contains nuanced and targeted recommendations for strengthening the EU-Africa digital partnership.
