Sinopse

Shock Troops explores the evolution and impact of elite military units designed to break enemy lines. It analyzes how tactical deployment of concentrated force, combined with a warrior ethos emphasizing aggression, creates units capable of achieving breakthroughs that conventional forces cannot. The book reveals how shock troops, from ancient phalanxes to modern special forces, have adapted to changing battlefield conditions. Interestingly, their effectiveness relies not just on brute strength, but also on identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities in enemy defenses. 

 
The book progresses by first outlining the core principles of shock warfare and then moves into specific eras and conflicts, examining case studies of both successful and unsuccessful shock troop operations. It emphasizes that the strategic implications of employing shock troops can lead to decisive victories. What sets this book apart is its holistic approach, viewing shock troops as complex systems within dynamic environments, drawing from history, tactical theory, and behavioral science.

Maria Theresa

James Franck Bright

By the time of his death in 1740, the Holy Roman Emperor, Charles VI, had done everything possible to secure the succession to the throne of his daughter, Maria Theresa, but practically nothing to train her how to rule. Nevertheless, Maria Theresa managed by common sense, charm, and expert advice to negotiate a forty-year reign marked by secret diplomacy, shifting alliances, relentless warfare, and ruthless realpolitik. This short biography by the Oxford historian, James Franck Bright, describes her first thirty years on the throne.

Policing Pregnant Bodies - From...

Kathleen M. Crowther

On June 24, 2022, the US Supreme Court overturned the Roe v. Wade decision, asserting that the Constitution did not confer the right to abortion. This ruling, in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health case, was the culmination of a half-century of pro-life activism promoting the idea that fetuses are people and therefore entitled to the rights and protections that the Constitution guarantees. But it was also the product of a much longer history of archaic ideas about the relationship between pregnant people and the fetuses they carry.

In Policing Pregnant Bodies: From Ancient Greece to Post-Roe America, historian Kathleen M. Crowther discusses the deeply rooted medical and philosophical ideas that continue to reverberate in the politics of women’s health and reproductive autonomy. From the idea that a detectable heartbeat is a sign of moral personhood to why infant and maternal mortality rates in the United States have risen as abortion restrictions have gained strength, this is a historically informed discussion of the politics of women’s reproductive rights.

Crowther explains why pro-life concern for fetuses has led not just to laws restricting or banning abortion but also to delaying or denying treatment to women for miscarriages as well as police investigations of miscarriages. She details the failure to implement policies that would actually improve the quality of infant life, such as guaranteed access to medical care, healthy food, safe housing, and paid maternity leave. We must understand the historical roots of these archaic ideas in order to critically engage with the current legal and political debates involving fetal life.
