We March Against England - Robert Forczyk - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Booktok.dk

We March Against England - Robert Forczyk - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Booktok.dk

In May 1940 Nazi Germany was master of continental Europe. The only European power still standing was Great Britain--and the all-conquering German armed forces stood poised to cross the Channel. After the RAF fighter forces had been destroyed, the Channel swept of mines, and the Royal Naval defenders worn down, two German army groups were set to storm the beaches of southern England. Despite near-constant British fears from August to October, the invasion never took place, first being postponed to spring 1941 before finally being abandoned entirely.Robert Forczyk, author of Where the Iron Crosses Grow , looks beyond the traditional British account of Operation Sea Lion , complete with plucky Home Guards and courageous Spitfire pilots, at the real scale of German ambition, plans and capabilities. Forczyk examines, in depth, how Operation Sea Lion fitted in with German air-sea actions around the British Isles as he shows exactly what stopped Hitler from invading Britain.

Dirty Work - Eyal Press - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Dirty Work - Eyal Press - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

A compelling investigation into the phenomenon of dirty work – labour that society considers essential, but morally compromised. A New Statesman Book of the Year ''This book will prompt a public reckoning with inequality in work'' Michael J. Sandel ''A scathing and thoughtful book about labor and principles'' Rebecca Solnit ''A writer in the tradition of George Orwell and Martha Gellhorn'' Corey Robin ''Confronts a series of deep and vexing moral questions... penetrating, astutely observed, beautifully written'' Patrick Radden Keefe Guards who patrol the wards of America''s most violent and abusive prisons; undocumented immigrants who man the ''kill floors'' of industrial slaughterhouses; drone operators who kill people from thousands of miles away.These are the essential workers we prefer not to think about. Their morally dubious, often physically violent and dangerous activity sustains modern society yet is concealed from our gaze. It is work that falls disproportionately in deprived areas, on immigrants and people of colour, and entails a less familiar set of occupational hazards – stigma, shame and moral injury.A striking, sophisticated and nuanced investigation, Dirty Work will change the way you think about society.

The Varangian Guard 988–1453 - Raffaele D’amato - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Booktok.dk

The Varangian Guard 988–1453 - Raffaele D’amato - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Booktok.dk

The Varangian Guards were Viking mercenaries who operated far beyond their native shores as an elite force within the Byzantine Armies. Descendants from a legendary line of warriors, the Varangian Guard was formed after a group of Viking mercenaries made a major contribution to the Byzantine Emperor Basil II''s victory over rebel forces in 988 AD. These 5,000 men were then retained as Basil''s personal guard and would provide loyal service to many successive occupants of the imperial throne. Commonly referred to as ''foreigners'' (Etaireia), they were nonetheless absorbed into a new Palatine regiment under command of an officer termed the Akolouthos, who was either a Norsemen or a Rus (Norsemen colonizers of Russia). The Varangians wore mixtures of their native clothing and armor together with a splendid formal Byzantine uniform. But most famously, they always wielded their own traditional battle-axes; this became a sign that the emperor was on the battlefield in person. This is an insightful look of one of the legendary guard units of the medieval world, complete with a dazzling array of artwork plates showing the Varangian Guard in an array of settings from court ceremonies to the battlefield.
