Fighting for a Living: A Comparative Study of Military Labour 1500-2000
ISBN: 9789089644527 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 688 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Though fighting is clearly hard work, historians have not paid much attention to warfare and military service as forms of labor. This collection does just that, bringing together the usually disparate fields of military and labor history. The contributors--including Robert Johnson, Frank Tallett, and Gilles Veinstein--undertake the first systematic comparative analysis of military labor across Europe, Africa, America, the Middle East, and Asia. In doing so, they explore the circumstances that have produced starkly different systems of recruiting and employing soldiers in different parts of...

The Diary of Oral Admonitions (Kouduo richao) is an invaluable mirror of early Chinese Christianity, as it stands out as the only source that allows a glimpse of Jesuit missionary practice in China on a local level - "accommodation in action" - and of the various responses of the Chinese audience, both converts and interested outsiders. It is a compilation of some five hundred notes "about everything" made by Li Jiubiao and other Christian literati during their conversations with Jesuit missionaries in Fujian between 1630 and 1640. These notes are arranged in chronological order and divided...

In his extensive introduction Stephen F....

The Young Turk Legacy and Nation Building: From the Ottoman Empire to Atatürk's Turkey
ISBN: 9781848852723 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The grand narrative of The Young Turk Legacy and Nation Building is that of the essential continuity of the late Ottoman Empire with the Republic of Turkey that was founded in 1923. Erik Jan Zurcher shows that Kemal's ""ideological toolkit,"" which included positivism, militarism, nationalism and a state-centred world view, was shared by many other Young Turks. Authoritarian rule, a one-party state, a legal framework based on European principles, advanced European-style bureaucracy, financial administration, military and educational reforms and state-control of Islam, can all be...

Arming the State: Military Conscription in the Middle East and Central Asia, 1775-1925
ISBN: 9781860644047 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Universal conscription has been the main form of military recruitment in the 19th and 20th centuries. In Central Asia and the Middle East it has been ruthlessly imposed on agrarian and undeveloped societies with little regard for individual interest, economic disruption, or intense local resistance. This book provides a fresh approach to the understanding of conscription, with contributions from social and political historians in an area traditionally covered by military historians. It focuses on the previously undiscussed areas of Ottoman Turkey and Egypt (where some of the most extreme...
