Private Security and Identity Politics: Ethical Hero Warriors, Professional Managers and New Humanitarians
ISBN: 9781138195738 / Angielski / Twarda / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book examines the self-representation and identity politics of Private Military and Security Companies (PMSCs). Using a content analysis of the web pages of 40 transnational US-based and British companies, the book argues that in light of, on the one hand, an increasingly competitive industry and, on the other hand, a diverse range of public and private actors delivering security services, PMSCs ensure their survival not only through market shares, mergers or effectiveness, but also by appropriating different identities. First, they claim accepted forms of masculinities for... This book examines the self-representation and identity politics of Private Military and Security Companies (PMSCs).

Lincoln's Last Speech: Wartime Reconstruction and the Crisis of Reunion
ISBN: 9780190620097 / Angielski / Miękka / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. What did Abraham Lincoln envision when he talked about ""reconstruction?"" Assassinated in 1865, the president did not have a chance to begin the work of reconciling the North and South, nor to oversee Reconstruction as an official postwar strategy. Yet his final speech, given to thousands gathered in the rain outside the White House on April 11, 1865, gives a clear indication of what Lincoln's postwar policy might have looked like-one that differed starkly from what would emerge in the tumultuous decade that followed. In Lincoln's Last Speech, renowned historian and author Louis P. Masur...

ISBN: 9781469633398 / Angielski / Miękka / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. War destroys, but it also inspires, stimulates, and creates. It is, in this way, a muse, and a powerful one at that. The American Civil War was a particularly prolific muse--unleashing with its violent realities a torrent of language, from soldiers' intimate letters and diaries to everyday newspaper accounts, great speeches, and enduring literary works. In Belligerent Muse, Stephen Cushman considers the Civil War writings of five of the most significant and best known narrators of the conflict: Abraham Lincoln, Walt Whitman, William Tecumseh Sherman, Ambrose Bierce, and Joshua Lawrence...
