Written for young people and to help develop research and interpretation skills in History, English and Citizenship (key stages 3-4), it includes authentic photographs, case studies and activities, which will make learning fun and enjoyable.Royalties from the sales of the book go to the Royal Commonwealth Ex-Services League (RCEL) who support veterans from the Commonwealth and former British Empire many of whom are World War II veterans
The landscape of the Arkansas Delta changed dramatically early in the course of World War II, when more than 8,000 American citizens of Japanese ancestry were forcibly detained in two hastily constructed prison camps.

“The World Under One Flag” is a fictional story, but America’s decline in economic and military power is very real. History is unambiguous; when a vacuum exists, a new and more dominant force will fill that void. Clearly, China and Western Europe are flexing their economic and military muscles while the Muslim faith is filling the void of a morally bankrupt world. Famous dignitaries have referred to a “New World Order” in many of their public speeches and scripture predicts the emergence of a one-world government led by an Antichrist in the last days. This story is based on a perceived notion that Europe will soon unite as a single political power. This will force China to build its own powerful coalition and vie for world supremacy. By the year 2035, both major world powers will be engaged in extensive espionage to discover a possible Achilles’s heel that might neutralize the other’s military advantages. In this shadowy world of undercover agents, one very beautiful and exceptionally talented lady emerges. Improbable as it may seem, she is the top agent for both powers, but on what side does her loyalty truly lie?
Set in the northern Chinese provincial town of Dismount Fort, these 12 stories offer a fascinating glimpse of the lives of peasants, soldiers, workers, and party officials during the Great Cultural Revolution.
Poetry. In UNDER FLAG, winner of the 1991 Multicultural Publishers Book Award, Myung Mi Kim writes in a stark, unflinching voice that alternately drives to the core of painful subject matter and backs off to let beauty speak for itself: "Save the water from rinsing rice for sleek hair / This is what the young women are told, then they're told / Cut off this hair that cedar combs combed / Empty straw sacks and hide under them / Enemy soldiers are approaching..." The cumulative effect is, according to Ammiel Alcalay, a poetics which resists being neutralized or categorized. "Myung Mi Kim's languange is pure and commanding and brings us to a place of grieving we have needed to acknowledge"-Kathleen Fraser. Third Printing.
From the Norman Invasion in 1066 to the eve of the First World War, Stick a Flag in It is a thousand-year jocular journey through the history of Britain and its global empire. The British people have always been eccentric, occasionally ingenious and, sure, sometimes unhinged – from mad monarchs to mass-murdering lepers. Here, Arran Lomas shows us how they harnessed those traits to forge the British nation, and indeed the world, we know today. Follow history’s greatest adventurers from the swashbuckling waters of the Caribbean to the vast white wasteland of the Antarctic wilderness, like the British spy who infiltrated a top-secret Indian brothel and the priest who hid inside a wall but forgot to bring a packed lunch. At the very least you’ll discover Henry VIII’s favourite arse-wipe, whether the flying alchemist ever made it from Scotland to France, and the connection between Victorian coffee houses and dildos. Forget what you were taught in school – this is history like you’ve never heard it before, full of captivating historical quirks that will make you laugh out loud and scratch your head in disbelief.
When South Sudan's war began, the Beatles were playing their first hits and reaching the moon was an astronaut's dream. Half a century later, with millions massacred in Africa's longest war, the continent's biggest country split in two. It was an extraordinary, unprecedented experiment. Many have fought, but South Sudan did the impossible, and won. This is the story of an epic fight for freedom. It is also the story of a nightmare. First Raise a Flag details one of the most dramatic failures in the history of international state-building. three years after independence, South Sudan was lowest ranked in the list of failed states. War returned, worse than ever. Peter Martell has spent over a decade reporting from palaces and battlefields, meeting those who made a country like no other: warlords and spies, missionaries and mercenaries, guerrillas and gunrunners, freedom fighters and war crime fugitives, Hollywood stars and ex-slaves. Under his seasoned foreign correspondent's gaze, he weaves with passion and colour the lively history of the world's newest country. First Raise a Flag is a moving reflection on the meaning of nationalism, the power of hope and the endurance of the human spirit.
