Text of the page (random words):
and holt as sure footed guides sanctified violence tackles a vast subject the global history of holy war in its many forms across the millennia from cosmic struggles between forces of good and evil at the dawn of mythic time to apocalyptic battles at history s end this book explores the transcendental impulses and religious ideologies that fuel and shape collective violence in virtually every culture and age modern military chaplains and armed buddhist monks keep company with medieval templars and aztec flower warriors sanctified violence never pretends to have all the answers to difficult questions about warfare and the sacred but rather invites reflective readers to appraise their complicated relationship for themselves richly illustrated each chapter offers a detailed commentary on its major historical sources and poses questions for further analysis making the volume ideal for the classroom brett e whalen university of north carolina chapel hill contents introduction what is holy war chapter 1 holy wars in mythic time holy wars as metaphor holy wars as ritual chapter 2 holy wars of conquest in the name of a deity chapter 3 holy wars in defense of the sacred chapter 4 holy

peniston edited with an introduction and annotations by george robb white war black soldiers is a terrific read from start to finish and addresses such an important gap in our knowledge about africa africans and wwi the editors offer a rich balanced and nuanced account not just of the historical contexts in which to read these texts but also of how we should approach them in all their complexity diallo s text nicely defies a neat postcolonial reading and helps us appreciate the historical contingencies and variations of interwar radicalism it also of course helps students confront the ongoing whiteness of wwi studies antoinette burton university of illinois urbana champaign with a comprehensive scholarly introduction that contextualizes the service of african men within european led colonial armies this book presents two extremely rare personal accounts by african soldiers who fought in the first world war the early twentieth century writings of senegalese war veterans bakary diallo and lamine senghor here published in english for the first time illustrate the global nature of the conflict this is a must read for anyone interested in the great war or african history timothy stapleton university of calgary author of africa war and conflict in the twentieth century 2018 with white war black soldiers prof george robb has provided us with both important primary documents previously available only in french and valuable historical context to dramatically improve our knowledge and understanding of the african experience in wwi as an africanist who has taught world history for over two decades i have long been frustrated by student s lack of awareness that anyone other than europeans were involved in the first world war this situation was exacerbated by the absence of more than a handful of brief african accounts of the conflict in europe by bringing the experiences and perspectives of bakary diallo and lamine senghor to an english speaking audience robb has provided world historians africanists and secondary teachers alike with a valuable tool to help address this situation jonathan reynolds northern kentucky university learn more add to cart the greco persian wars erik jensen series passages key moments in history erik jensen s the greco persian wars offers a refreshing introduction to a critical but often misunderstood historical event in world history rejecting dated models of east west confrontation this book usefully frames the persian invasions of greece in terms of imperial expansion and frontier development and also considers the long term evolution of greco persian relations after 480 479 bc the source selections draw on both achaemenid documents as well as greek narratives to contextualize the conflict john hyland christopher newport university i like jensen s book very much this key moment in world history has traditionally been read almost exclusively through greek eyes and having these translations of the persian sources provides the opportunity and impetus for a fresh interpretation of this classic encounter the introduction provides an excellent background to the persian sources and sheds invaluable light on the people and society that produced them robert garland colgate university learn more add to cart the indian rebellion 1857 1859 james frey series passages key moments in history frey s
