ISBN: 9781910294062 / Angielski / Miękka / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Best known in the USA as a former colony and exotic tourist location, the Republic of the Philippines has seen civil unrest, insurgencies and separatism movements ever since independence in 1946.

Spotkał was ten zaszczyt niezmierny, że pierwsi pójdziecie do Królestwa i przestąpicie granice rosyjskiego zaboru, jako czołowa kolumna wojska polskiego, idącego walczyć za oswobodzenie ojczyzny” – mówił do szeregów I Kompanii Kadrowej Józef Piłsudski.

ISBN: 9780198719038 / Angielski / Twarda / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. West African Warfare in Bahia and Cuba seeks to explain how a series of historical events that occurred in West Africa from the mid-1790s - including Afonja's rebellion, the Owu wars, the Fulani-led jihad, and the migrations to Egbaland - had an impact upon life in cities and plantations in western Cuba and Bahia. Manuel Barcia examines the extent to which a series of African-led plots and armed movements that took place in western Cuba and Bahia between 1807 and 1844 were the result - or a continuation - of events that had occurred in and around the Yoruba and Hausa kingdoms in the same...

Why Occupy a Square?: People, Protests and Movements in the Egyptian Revolution
ISBN: 9780199394982 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. On 25 January 2011, tens of thousands of Egyptians came out on the streets to protest against emergency rule and police brutality. Eighteen days later, Mubarak, one of the longest sitting dictators in the region, had gone. How are we to make sense of these events? Was this a revolution, a revolutionary moment? How did the protests come about? How were they able to outmaneuver the police? Was this really a 'leaderless revolution, ' as so many pundits claimed, or were the demonstrations an outgrowth of the protest networks that had developed over the past decade? Why did so many people with no...

A Discourse Concerning Unlimited Submission and Non-resistance to the Higher Powers
ISBN: 9781500445911 / Angielski / Miękka / 46 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Jonathan Mayhew's "Discourse Concerning Unlimited Submission" has long been recognized as "the morning gun of the Revolution." Mayhew first presented this sermon on January 30th, 1750, the 101st anniversary of the execution of Charles I. In this sermon, Rev. Mayhew explained that Romans 13 does not require Christians to submit to tyranny and that, in fact, the Bible clearly places a duty upon Christians to resist tyrannical rulers. This widely read sermon was the source of the popular claim that "rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God," and it set the stage for the American colonies to...

Książka ta po raz pierwszy ukazała się drukiem ponad 20 lat temu i sprowadziła na Autora niemałe kłopoty, gdyż wojenne historie opisuje on z perspektywy „obserwatora uczestniczącego”, przez co zainteresowały się nim tajne służby.

Revolutionary Pamphlets, Propaganda and Political Culture in Colonial Bengal
ISBN: 9781107065468 / Angielski / Twarda / 219 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Pamphlets have usually been regarded as ephemeral literature with little permanent impact. This work demonstrates the historical value of this genre of political literature. The propaganda pamphlets help historians place a finger on the pulse of an extraordinarily important historical period when new ideas concerning the nation-state, the rights of the governed and forms of political protest complicated the political scene and opened up new fronts of conflict between the colonial state and the colonized subjects. This study devises innovative approaches to reading these pamphlets and...

The result of thousands of hours of discussions over several years, The Arabs at War in Afghanistan offers significant new insights into the history of many of today's militant Salafi groups and movements. By revealing the real origins of the Taliban...

Powrót króla. Bitwa o Afganistan 1839-42
ISBN: 9788373925021 / Polski / Twarda / 622 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Dzieje Wielkiej Gry, w której angielscy dyplomaci i szpiedzy ścierali się z rosyjskimi w walce o wpływy w dziewiętnastowiecznym Afganistanie. Autor dowodzi, że Zachód wciąż tak samo nie rozumie Afganistanu, a mimo to próbuje przekonać tamtejsze plemiona do swoich wyobrażeń o godziwym życiu, choć mentalność Afgańczyków w gruncie rzeczy niewiele się zmieniła przez ostatnie sto kilkadziesiąt lat. Jest to zarazem książka o paranoi jako sile sprawczej w polityce: interesy Anglików w Afganistanie były całkowicie niezagrożone, póki nie doszli oni do wniosku, że zagraża...

ISBN: 9781107046634 / Angielski / Twarda / 310 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Focusing on emigres from Baden, Wurttemberg and Hungary in four host societies (Switzerland, the Ottoman Empire, England and the United States), Helena Toth considers exile in the aftermath of the revolutions of 1848 1849 as a European phenomenon with global dimensions. While exile is often presented as an individual challenge, Toth studies its collective aspects in the realms of the family and of professional and social networks. Exploring the interconnectedness of these areas, she argues that although we often like to sharply distinguish between labor migration and exile, these categories...
