China 1949

Year of Revolution

Graham Hutchings, University of Oxford China Centre, UK

The events of 1949 in China reverberated across the world and throughout the rest of the century. That tumultuous year saw the dramatic collapse of Chiang Kai-shek's `pro-Western' Nationalist government, overthrown by Mao Zedong and his communist armies, and the foundation of the People's Republic of China, now one of the most powerful countries in the world. With its focus on `ordinary' Chinese citizens and foreigners caught up in conflict as well as the leading figures of the Revolution, China 1949 offers a gripping account of the year in which China abruptly changed course, and pulled the rest of world history along with it.

The China Journals

Ideology and Intrigue in the 1960s

Hugh Trevor-Roper, University of Oxford, UK

Edited by Richard Davenport-Hines, All Soul's College, University of Oxford, UK

Hugh Trevor-Roper visited China for three weeks in 1965 under the auspices of the Society for Anglo-Chinese Understanding. Subsequently he was the leading protagonist in a publicly-fought battle over the clandestine finances, communist affiliations, ideological propaganda and organisational mismanagement of SACU, which he indicted as a front for Maoist agents of influence. Two years later he visited Taiwan, Thailand and Cambodia. His detailed diaries offer insight into the secret policing, oppression and fears inside Mao's China in 1965, as well as exploring Trevor-Roper's relationship with the British security services.

Japanese Perceptions of Papua New Guinea

War, Travel and the Reimagining of History

Ryota Nishino, Nagoya University, Japan

Translating a diverse range of Japanese sources, this book provides the first English-language analysis of the social and political impact of Japanese interpretations of military action in Papua New Guinea. In bringing travel and war closer together through a comparative analysis of veterans' memoirs and the records of postwar travelers, this book explores how individuals consume, create, and recreate war histories. In doing so, Nishino reveals the extent to which the memory of defeat influenced the Japanese perceptions of Papua New Guinea and shaped future relations between the countries.

Empire and Constitution in Modern Japan

Why Could War with China Not Be Prevented?

Junji Banno, Tokyo University, Japan

Translated by Arthur Stockwin, University of Oxford, UK

In Empire and Constitution in Modern Japan, Junji Banno expertly analyses how the conflicting concepts of `empire' and `constitution' operated together in Japan from 1868 until 1937. Banno reveals how the relationship between them was complex--and understanding this complexity, he argues, is key to understanding why Japan and China went to war in 1937. Translated by eminent scholar Arthur Stockwin, this book is the first accessible and comprehensive English-language account of Banno's life works, providing an engaging survey of imperialism and constitutionalism in modern Japan.

The Emergence of Brand-Name Capitalism in Late Colonial India

Advertising and the Making of Modern Conjugality

Douglas E. Haynes, Dartmouth College, USA

This book examines the emergence of professional advertising in western India during the interwar period. It explores the ways in which global manufacturers advanced a `brand-name capitalism' among the Indian middle class by promoting the sale of global commodities during the 1920s and 1930s, a time when advertising was first introduced in India as a profession and underwent critical transformations.

Managing the Media in the India-Burma War, 1941-1945

Philip Woods, New York University in London, UK

This book reveals the impact that the media had in maintaining troop morale and how the military recognised that the media could be a valuable arm of warfare in the India-Burma war. Honing in on India and Burma at a turning point in their road to independence, this book offers a fresh angle on a well-known military conflict, unpicks the various constraints and influences on the media in wartime, and links the campaign to India's crucial role in WWII.

The YMCA in Late Colonial India

Modernization, Philanthropy and American Soft Power in South Asia

Harald Fischer-Tin?, ETH Zurich, Switzerland

This book explores the history and agendas of the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) through its activities in South Asia. Focusing on interactions between American `Y' workers and the local population, representatives of the British colonial state, and a host of international actors, it assesses their impact on the making of modern India. In turn, it shows how the knowledge and experience acquired by the Y in South Asia had a significant impact on US foreign policy, diplomacy and development programs in the region from the mid-1940s.

Mountbatten, Cold War and Empire, 1945-79

Adrian Smith, University of Southampton, UK

Was he a far-sighted war hero, or an ambitious networker promoted well above his natural talent? Mountbatten continues to attract fierce criticism, but this biography offers a fresh and convincing perspective, depicting him as a modern, highly professional figure within the Royal Navy, a hands-on officer who enthusiastically embraced new technology; someone who, although an aristocrat, was by instinct a progressive. Beneath the rich, vain, often ruthless, embodiment of power and privilege could be found a very human, even vulnerable, character - the complex personality of a pivotal figure in the history of 20th-century Britain and its empire.

The Trials of Charles I

Ian Ward, Newcastle University, UK

This is a book about constitutional history and thought, but also about the writing of constitutional history and thought and the forms they have taken, whether as scholarship, polemics, or literary experiments, in collective British memory. Chapters range from the events leading up to and through the trial and execution of Charles; to their theatricality, legality, and constitutionality; to the political writings such as Milton's Tenure of Kings and Hobbes' Leviathan that followed; and finally trace the various subsequent histories and trials of Charles I that presented him either as martyr, Tory or a Whig.

David Owen, Human Rights and the Remaking of British Foreign Policy

David Grealy, Lancaster University, UK

By exploring hitherto neglected British diplomatic perspectives on the evolving human rights system during the second half of the 20th century, this study examines how the UK's engagement with human rights norms reflected, and served to redefine, Britain's post-imperial role within the international community. By drawing from a wealth of primary sources, David Grealy expertly examines the relationship between human rights and the UK's foreign policy through the prism of the career of former Foreign Secretary, David Owen.

Locating Queer Histories

Places and Traces Across the UK

Edited by Matt Cook, Birkbeck, University of London, UK, Alison Oram, Leeds Beckett University, UK & Justin Bengry, Goldsmiths, University of London

Ranging from the mid-19th century to the present, and from Edinburgh to Plymouth, this powerful collection examines the significance of locality in queer spaces and experiences in modern British history. Foregrounding the voices of LGBTQ-identified people through an innovative synthesis of source material ? from letters and diaries to TV interviews and oral testimonies ? this collection sheds light on these experiences in Britain and, chiefly, how they were shaped, and differentiated, through a complex relation with locality.

Music and Politics in Thirties Britain

Raise the Standard High

John Morris, Independent Scholar, South Africa

This book looks at this little-known aspect of music and politics in domestic Britain in 1934. Centered around six key themes: technology, composers and composing, experimentation and modern music, fascism abroad, fascism and politics at home and national identity, the book brings a fresh perspective to current literature. By including these themes, Music and Politics in Thirties Britain provides a thorough analysis of the relationship between music, musicians and fascism.

Dictatorship and Daily Life in 20th-Century Europe

Edited by Lisa Pine, London South Bank University, UK

Bringing together an international team of leading scholars, this book provides a uniquely comparative exploration of daily life under dictatorship in 20th-century Europe. With coverage of wellknown regimes and some that are relatively underrepresented in the literature from across the continent, this important book examines the impact felt on people's lives amidst political administrations and in so doing strikes the very heart of European life in the darkest episodes of its recent history.

Gift-Giving and Materiality in Europe, 1300-1600

Gifts as Objects

Edited by Lars Kjaer, New College of the Humanities, UK & Gustavs Strenga, Tallinn University, Estonia

Gift-giving played an important role in political, social and religious life in medieval and early modern Europe. This volume explores an under-examined and often-overlooked aspect of this phenomenon: the material nature of the gift. Drawing on examples from both medieval and early modern Europe, the authors from the UK and across Europe explore the craftsmanship involved in the production of gifts and the use of exotic objects and animals, from elephant bones to polar bears and `living' holy objects, to communicate power, class and allegiance.

Builders of the Third Reich

The Organisation Todt and Nazi Forced Labour

Charles Dick, Independent Scholar, UK

This is the first comprehensive critical study of the Organisation Todt (OT), a key institution which oversaw the Third Reich's vast slave labour programme together with the SS, Wehrmacht and industry. The book breaks new ground by revealing the full extent of the organisation's brutal and murderous operations across occupied Europe and in the Reich. For the first time, Charles Dick provides a strong voice for camp survivors overseen by the OT, drawing on an extensive collection of personal accounts and analysing the violence they endured.

Britain, France and Europe, 1945-1975

The Elusive Alliance

Anthony Adamthwaite, University of California, Berkeley, USA

In the aftermath of the Second World War, France seized the initiative in European construction, gaining ascendancy in Western Europe; Britain became the sick man. How and why did the French outsmart their arch-rivals? Drawing on American, British and French official records, together with private papers and interviews, Anthony Adamthwaite explores the reasons for French success. As well as reassessing Britain's membership bids for the European Community, the comparative study evaluates key influences: the mentality of decision makers; leadership styles; the post-1945 international system; policy making machinery; the `democratic deficit' in British and French politics and public opinion.

Modern Italy's Founding Fathers

The Making of a Postwar Republic

Steven F. White, Mount St. Mary's University, USA

This book offers a fresh perspective on the genesis of the Italian republic as viewed through the efforts of its three most influential leaders: Christian Democrat Alcide De Gasperi, Socialist Pietro Nenni and Communist Palmiro Togliatti. The author demonstrates how De Gasperi and his fellow statesmen's shared experience of Fascist oppression, belief in popular sovereignty and ability to compromise despite ideological differences enabled the creation of Italy's postwar republic. Drawing on personal papers, speeches and writings as well as governmental and party archives, he shows how these leaders' political practices and customs continue to define Italian parliamentary life today.
