Summary

Thomas Babington Macaulay's "The History of England" (Volumes 1-5) presents a sweeping narrative that recounts England's transformation from the 17th century through the beginning of the 19th century. Macaulay's literary style is characterized by his engaging prose, vivid imagery, and a compelling blend of historical detail and political analysis. His work is deeply embedded in the Victorian context, seeking to educate and inspire a sense of national pride amidst the complexities of modern governance and societal change. By expertly weaving personal anecdotes with rigorous scholarship, Macaulay illuminates the evolving themes of liberty, democracy, and the power of the written word in shaping public consciousness. As a prominent British historian, essayist, and politician, Thomas Babington Macaulay was heavily influenced by the Enlightenment ideals of progress and rationality. His upbringing during a period of significant political upheaval and his own experiences as a member of Parliament informed his perspectives on governance and history. A firm believer in the moral superiority of British institutions, Macaulay sought to craft a work that not only chronicled events but also championed the narrative of England as a beacon of civilization and reform. Readers seeking a comprehensive and eloquent account of England's past will find Macaulay's "The History of England" essential. Its rich narrative and insightful commentary not only appeal to history enthusiasts but also provide critical reflections on contemporary issues of governance and civic responsibility. This masterful work stands as an enduring testament to the complexities and triumphs of English history, making it a must-read for anyone invested in understanding the roots of modern society.

    Chasing Bandits in the Badlands

    In January 1993, the Australian government sent just under one thousand young men and women to serve under American command in a violent, impoverished, starving society. Most males over the age of twelve either carried or had access to a gun, and most Somali men had been fighting a vicious civil war for years. 
Australian soldiers and their teams had to gain control of the streets of Baidoa and surrounding towns. This contest was not ‘find, fight and kill’ warfare. There was no decisive victory or defeat. The aim was to detect ‘the bad boys’ and deter and de-escalate their violence rather than escalate hostilities to success through ‘body count’. This mode of operation was not community policing by soldiers either. It involved adjusting attitudes forcefully and assuring uncomfortable consequences for bad behaviour and ultimately lethal responses to armed challenges. 
 
The world looked over their shoulders. Corporals and diggers had to make split-second decisions to open or hold fire. Holding fire when provoked by punks constituted disciplined professional performance. Opening fire before understanding the situation, especially against unarmed provocateurs, constituted unprofessional conduct and possible condemnation, even criminal charges. These young Australians carried the international reputation of Australia and its army on their shoulders. Their actions would either enhance that reputation or create controversy, negative publicity and, potentially, international embarrassment and condemnation. 
 
After adjusting their own attitudes to balance aggression and compassion, fight leaders and their diggers forcefully adjusted Somali attitudes, secured a stalemate, and then took control for the time they were in Somalia Australian soldiers individually and collectively helped a traumatised society needing a ‘fair go’ and gave ordinary Somali men, women and children trying to survive a little bit of hope.

    Most  people  consider  life  a  battle,  but  it  is  not  a battle,  it  is  a  game. It  is  a  game,  however,  which  cannot  be  played successfully  without  the  knowledge  of  spiritual law,  and  the  Old  and  the  New  Testaments  give  the rules  of  the  game  with  wonderful  clearness.  Jesus Christ taught  that  it  was  a  great  game  of  Giving and  Receiving.  "Whatsoever  a  man  soweth  that  shall  he  also reap."  This  means  that  whatever  man  sends  out  in word  or  deed,  will  return  to  him;  what  he  gives,  he will  receive.
