The Russian Social-Democratic Labour Party, 1899‒1904: Documents of the 'Economist' Opposition to Iskra and Early Menshevism
ISBN: 9789004218789 / Angielski / Twarda / 620 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Much has been written about the activity of Lenin and his colleagues on the editorial board of the Iskra newspaper, whereas little has been said about the opponents of Leninism, who unsuccessfully fought for control of the Russian Social-Democratic Labour Party during the Iskra period. To redress the balance, Richard Mullin has translated 25 documents from this period, most of which express an anti-Lenin view. They include articles from Rabochee Delo, the Jewish Bund's Poslednie Izvestiia and the post-Lenin Iskra, pamphlets by Plekhanov and Martov, the...

After seizing power in a coup...

A Short History of Russia
ISBN: 9781508743514 / Angielski / Miękka / 146 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A Short History of Russia is a Russian history classic by Mary Platt Parmele. If this book seems to have departed from the proper ideal of historic narrative--if it is the history of a Power, and not of a _People_--it is because the Russian people have had no history yet. There has been no evolution of a Russian nation, but only of a vast governing system; and the words "Russian Empire" stand for a majestic world-power in which the mass of its people have no part.

Afganistan Relacja BORowika
ISBN: 9788392523291 / Polski / Miękka / 480 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Jest to książka, która z pewnością otworzy oczy wielu czytelnikom, którzy nie mają zielonego pojęcia o Afganistanie, o tym co tam robią nasi żołnierze i nie mają pojęcia, co to jest ochrona obiektów oraz ludzi.
Po pierwsze - bardzo właśnie dobrze, że książka jest napisana żywym, bardzo dowcipnym językiem. Takich opisów nie można opisywać w napuszonym języku. Po drugie - moje widzenie dziennikarzy z prasy, radia i TV pokrywa się całkowicie z opisanymi przez autorów. Ludziom z mediów poprzewracało się w głowach całkowicie. Rodzajowi żeńskiemu i męskiemu.... Jest to książka, która z pewnością otworzy oczy wielu czytelnikom, którzy nie mają zielonego pojęcia o Afganistanie, o tym co tam robią nasi ...

Iran in the Middle East: Transnational Encounters and Social History
ISBN: 9781784531348 / Angielski / Twarda / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Iran s interaction with its neighbours is a topic of wide interest. But while many historical studies of the country concentrate purely on political events and high-profile actors, this book takes the opposite approach: writing history from below, it instead focuses on the role of everyday lives. Modern Iranian historiography has been dominated by ideas of nationalism, modernization, religion, autocracy, revolution and war. Iran in the Middle East adds new dimensions to the study of four crucial areas of Iranian history: the events and impact of the Constitutional Revolution, Iran s...

1780, A Time to Live Free or Die
ISBN: 9780986405020 / Angielski / Miękka / 394 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. It was their darkest hour . . . when the British captured Charleston, South Carolina and with it, the entire southern American Army. Patriots everywhere gave up, ready to accept defeat as the flame of liberty bent and flickered against the cold relentless winds of tyranny. Yet, there remained small bands of patriots-men and women-who would not quit. Without orders and without hope of reward, men like John Hamilton led eager volunteers throughout South Carolina bedeviling the enemy to keep alive the patriot cause. Herein lies my story of the fictional family of John and Rachel Hamilton of...

Revolution Within the Revolution: Women and Gender Politics in Cuba, 1952-1962
ISBN: 9781469625003 / Angielski / Miękka / 310 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A handful of celebrated photographs show armed female Cuban insurgents alongside their companeros in Cuba's remote mountains during the revolutionary struggle. However, the story of women's part in the struggle's success has only now received comprehensive consideration in Michelle Chase's history of women and gender politics in revolutionary Cuba. Restoring to history women's participation in the all-important urban insurrection, and resisting Fidel Castro's triumphant claim that women's emancipation was handed to them as a "revolution within the revolution," Chase's work demonstrates that...

Seeking Freedom and Justice for Hungary is the story of the vigorous Catholic worker movement developed in Hungary after the devastations of World War I, unique in the history of twentieth-century Europe.

ISBN: 9780230203983 / Angielski / Twarda / 301 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Riots, rampaging mobs and looting are not mere curiosities of the past; nor are they events confined to the fringes of the modern world, only breaking out in less-developed and distant nations that continue to bear the strain and duress of tyranny. On the contrary, rioting and resistance to the various powers that be is very much with us in the West at this moment in time. The general aim of this collection is to compare, contrast and juxtapose some of the more notable riots and rebellions in Europe, from the English Peasants' Revolt of 1381 through to the most recent race and student riots...

Youthful protesters were murdered by authorities in Berkeley, Kent State and Jackson State. Divisions over tactics and politics combined with police repression to splinter and dissipate the left political movement. The Vietnam...
