On the Dangerous Edge: British and Canadian Trench Raiding on the Western Front 1914-1918 Radley Kenneth

This subject appeals not only because it is dramatic and controversial, but also because of the complexity, uncertainty and unpredictability of raiding. Leadership was critical since raiding posed many challenges including vicious hand-to-hand fighting most often at night in unfamiliar trenches. These are just some of the reasons why raids are high in "human interest."The book examines the nature, purposes, mechanics, execution and value of trench raiding. In this it succeeds admirably. It is also unique in three aspects. First, it shares the originality that features so strongly in all of Radley's books. This in itself is appealing given that all too many books today seem to be less original that they are reiterative. While there have been in the past two accounts of raiding, in this latest work originality shines through in Radley's choice and use of sources; in the imaginative

Japan: A Modern History McClain James L.

This text conveys the turbulent political, economic and social change that over four centuries positioned Japan as a modern world power.

The Populist Moment: The Left After the Great Recession Jager Anton

A Left-wing populist insurgency exploded across the West in the wake of the Great Financial CrisisAfter decades of retreat, the last decade saw a left resurgence from the US to Western Europe and the Mediterranean. This revival of anti-establishment left-wing candidates was not only left but also populist.
