View from the Fence

View from the Fence

Author: Neill Lochery
Publishing date: 2005
"View from the Fence" has been shortlisted for this year's Jewish Quarterly Wingate Literary Prizes for fiction and non-fiction. Dr. Neill Lochery has worked as an advisor to Middle Eastern politicians on both sides of the political divide as well as elsewhere in the Middle East and is a leading specialist in the politics and history of the area. As neither an Arab nor a Jew, he is able to go beyond the traditional narratives employed by partisan writers who dominate much of the current literature on the Middle East. Lochery's ability to see all sides drives the argument in this book about the possibilities for peace in the future. The Arab-Israeli conflict has for too long been seen as a simple tale of right versus wrong, good versus evil or, since the 1967 War, the

War Years Life in Britain During 1939-1945

Author: Janice Anderson
Publishing date: 2007
After months of the German blitz, London was still very much London. Damage had certainly been done. Churches, hospitals, historic buildings and the homes of ordinary people had been destroyed, but London's heart was still beating strongly. Tall buildings still rose in the sky, people and traffic still crowded the pavements and roads of the greatest city in the world. Then the Americans arrived...The US War Department said this when they came to Britain in 1942: 'British women have proved themselves in this war. They have stuck to their posts near burning ammunition dumps, delivered messages on foot after their motor-cycles have been blasted from under them. There isn't a single record of any British woman in uniformed service quitting her post, or failing in her duty.

Will They Ever Trust Us Again

Will They Ever Trust Us Again

Author: Michael Moore
Publishing date: 2005
Will They Ever Trust Us Again? brings together hundreds of the letters that sent to Michael Moore - author of the international bestseller Stupid White Men - to show the reality beneath the propaganda. He's sparked a furore and turned up the heat by revealing what they didn't want you to know about the war on terror in Fahrenheit 9/11. Now the ordinary men and women - from GIs serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, mothers and wives at home, veterans who've fought around the globe - who've been inspired to speak out by Michael Moore have their say. Their views vary from the Bushwhacked to the patriotic, but they all feel let down by government, they know the human cost of waging wars for the rich - and they've had enough. Angry, moving and funny, this book shows

Women Migrants from East to West

Publishing date: 2010
Based on the oral histories of eighty migrant women and thirty additional interviews with 'native' women in the 'receiving' countries, this volume documents the contemporary phenomenon of the feminisation of migration through an exploration of the lives of women, who have moved from Bulgaria and Hungary to Italy and the Netherlands. It assumes migrants to be active subjects, creating possibilities and taking decisions in their own lives, as well as being subject to legal and political regulation, and the book analyses the new forms of subjectivity that come about through mobility. Part I is a largely conceptual exploration of subjectivity, mobility and gender in Europe. The chapters in Part II focus on love, work, home, communication, and food, themes which emerged

Zinky Boys

Zinky Boys

Author: Svetlana Alexievich
Publishing date: 2008
From 1979 to 1989 a million Soviet troops engaged in a devastating war in Afghanistan that claimed 50,000 casualties-and the youth and humanity of many tens of thousands more. Creating controversy and outrage when it was first published in the USSR-it was called by reviewers there a "slanderous piece of fantasy" and part of a "hysterical chorus of malign attacks"-Zinky Boys presents the candid and affecting testimony of the officers and grunts, nurses and prostitutes, mothers, sons, and daughters who describe the war and its lasting effects. What emerges is a story that is shocking in its brutality and revelatory in its similarities to the American experience in Vietnam. The Soviet dead were shipped back in sealed zinc coffins (hence the term "Zinky Boys"), while the
