UK reviewer David Kidman says of Finest Kind's latest release: 'For Honour & For Gain is a further example of everything they do so enviably well: a professionally-planned and keenly-presented hour-long menu of 18 tracks representing folk eclecticism at it's best (I ought to say of the finest kind!), all couched in unstintingly superb singing (solo and ensemble alike) with plenty of close-harmonies to die for... ...Simply, their seriously accomplished musicianship carries with it both the ring o

Many years after becoming the youngest person ever to be awarded the VC for attacking acompany of Panzer Grenadiers on his own -- an action that proved a turning point in one of the major battles of the Second World War -- John Kenneally made an extraordinary confession. The courageous hero of the Irish Guards, who had taken on a whole company single-handed was not, in fact, John Kenneally at all, but Leslie Jackson, the illegitimate son of Neville Blond and Gertrude Robinson (a 'high-class whore'), who had deserted his former regiment, the Honourable Artillery Company. In THE HONOUR AND THE SHAME, he tells his story with great verve and frankness -- a story of riotous living, great courage on the front line, and intense loyalties. Full of the escapades of battle -- from the triumphant Tunisian campaign to the bloodbath of Anzio -- and the many adventures of a freewheeling youth,THE HONOUR AND THE SHAMEis a vivid portrait of a fascinating man.

On 11th May 1998, India shed its veil of secrecy and declared itself a nuclear weapons state. Pakistan followed a fortnight later and the security environment of South Asia was changed. Or was it? Few know how vast India's nuclear infrastructure actually is and how far the country had come to becoming a nuclear weapons state prior to the May tests. The same applies for Pakistan. This book details the nuclear weapons capabilities of India and Pakistan prior and subsequent to the Pokharan and Chagai tests of 1998. It also deals with the delivery systems available to both sides and with possible command structures for the emerging nuclear arsenals. One question, however, has not been answered previously - how are nuclear weapons likely to be used in any India/Pakistan conflict? Will there be widespread use of tactical nuclear weapons against battlefield targets or will nuclear weapons unleash their devastation against the crowded metropolises of South Asia? This work deals with these issues and the place nuclear weapons occupy in the security policies of India and its arch rival.

Thirty-second Street in Chicago. A Chicano community, peaceful on a warm summer night, residents socializing, children playing--and gang warfare ready to explode at any time. Ruth Horowitz takes us to the heart of this world, one characterized by opposing sets of values. On the one hand, residents believe in hard work, education, family ties, and the American dream of success. On the other hand, gang members are preoccupied with fighting to maintain their personal and family honor. Horowitz gives us an inside look at this world, showing us how the juxtaposition of two worlds--the streets and the social ladder--and two cultures, Mexican and American, constantly challenges the residents of the community.

Honour Earth Mother is an inspiring reminder of the affection and reverence that the Native peoples of North America have had for the land.

And the earth remains today a deep wellspring of revelations and unveiled mysteries for those who take time to watch, listen, and reflect.Celebrated Ojibwa writer Basil Johnston invites us to go into the woods and meadows, mountains, valleys, and seashores to watch miracles still unfolding, to listen to nature's symphonies, to feel the pulse of the earth, to take in the fragrances, and to sense the awesome. His stories of the creatures, seasons, and landscape of the earth reveal a land that has never stopped brimming with beauty, song, and dance.

Here is where mystery, intrigue and suspense are more than a game to the residents of post-Victorian London, it's a way of life.

In the tradition of Margaret MacMillan’s Paris 1919 comes a new consideration of Canada’s most famous war and the Treaty of Ghent that unsatisfactorily concluded it, from one of this country’s premier military historians. In the Canadian imagination, the War of 1812 looms large. It was a war in which British and Indian troops prevailed in almost all of the battles, in which the Americans were unable to hold any of the land they fought for, in which a young woman named Laura Secord raced over the Niagara peninsula to warn of American plans for attack (though how she knew has never been discovered), and in which Canadian troops burned down the White House. Competing American claims insist to this day that, in fact, it was they who were triumphant.But where does the truth lie? Somewhere in the middle, as is revealed in this major new reconsideration from one of Canada’s master historians. Drawing on never-before-seen archival material, Zuehlke paints a vibrant picture of the war’s major battles, vividly re-creating life in the trenches, the horrifying day-to-day manoeuvring on land and sea, and the dramatic negotiations in the Flemish city of Ghent that brought the war to an unsatisfactory end for both sides. By focusing on the fraught dispute in which British and American diplomats quarrelled as much amongst themselves as with their adversaries, Zuehlke conjures the compromises and backroom deals that yielded conventions resonating in relations between the United States and Canada to this very day.
