TSR2: Britain's lost Cold War strike jet
ISBN: 9781472822482 / Angielski / Miękka / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The TSR2 is one of the greatest "what-if" aircraft of the Cold War, whose cancellation still generates anger and controversy among aviation fans. It was a magnificent, cutting-edge aircraft, one of the most striking of the Cold War, but fell victim to cost overruns, overambitious requirements, and politics. Its scrapping marked the point when Britain's aerospace industry could no longer build world-class aircraft independently. After the demise of TSR2 the RAF's future jets would be modified US aircraft like the Phantom and pan-European collaborations like Tornado and Typhoon. In...

Gerry Conlon was elated and outspoken on the steps of the Old Bailey upon his release, but beneath the surface he was a shattered and broken man. Wrongly convicted as an IRA bomber, he spent 15 years in an English jail for a crime he didn't commit; his father, who attempted to protest his arrest, was himself arrested and sentenced for the same crime, and tragically died in jail. A psychiatrist and leading physician interviewed for this book, said Conlon was the worst case of post-traumatic stress he'd ever seen. In the Name of the Son is a viciously personal and compelling account of Conlon's...

In 1984, a small group of metropolitan gay men and lesbian women stepped away from London's vibrant gay scene to befriend and support a beleaguered mining community in the remote valleys of South Wales.

In the 1980s Margaret Thatcher's hardcore social and fiscal policies devastated Britain's traditional industries, as AIDS began to claim lives across the nation. At the very height of this perfect storm, as the government and police battled "the enemy within" in communities...

Nostalgia and the post-war Labour Party: Prisoners of the past
ISBN: 9781526113306 / Angielski / Twarda / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book examines the impact that nostalgia has had on the Labour Party's political development since 1951. It argues that nostalgia has defined Labour's identity and determined the party's trajectory. Nostalgia has hindered policy discussion, determined the form and parameters of party modernisation, shaped internal conflict and cohesion and made it difficult for the party to adjust to socioeconomic changes. It has frequently left the party out of touch with the modern world. In this way, this study offers an assessment of Labour's failures to adapt to the changing nature of post-war...
