This first of a three-volume set offers concise biographical
information for over 5,000 generals and admirals of the Third
Reich. It covers all branches of service, ordered alphabetically,
and provides a brief, scholarly overview of each individual,
including personal details and dates for all attachments to unit,
and medals awarded, offering a readily accessible go-to reference
work for all World War II researchers and historians. In addition
to the biographic information, each volume includes extensive
apppendices. The books are packed with information on these senior
officers of the Third Reich, many of whom are little documented in
the English language.

Fierce Tea Theory focuses on the life and work of Jaisen, a
self-proclaimed New Age performance artist from the Northeast of
England. Alone, or with his brother and friends, he instigates
artistic events -- performances which are strongly ritualistic and
extraordinarily surreal and anarchistic. Taking as his apparent
starting point the documentation of the activities of an
extraordinary and fascinating individual, Webb has developed his
approach in such a way that the subject becomes a mechanism for far
wider considerations of the nature of individual self and identity.
The texts that make up postcolonial print cultures are often found
outside the archival catalogue, and in lesser-examined repositories
such as personal collections, the streets, or appendages to
established collections. This volume examines the published and
unpublished writing, magazines, pamphlets, paratexts,
advertisements, cartoons, radio, and street art that serve as the
intellectual forces behind opposition to colonial orders, as
meditations on the futures of embryonic nation states, and as
visions of new forms of equality. The print cultures examined here
are necessarily anti-institutional; they serve as a counterpoint to
the colonial archive and, relatedly, to more traditional genres and
text formats coming out of large-scale publishers. This means that
much of the primary material analyzed in this book has not been
scrutinized before. Many of these print productions articulate
collective liberation projects with origins in the grassroots. They
include debates around the shape of the postcolonial nation and the
new state formation that necessarily draw on a diverse and
contentious public sphere of opinion. Their rhetoric ranges from
the reformist to the revolutionary. Reflecting the diversity,
indeed the disorderliness, of postcolonial print cultures this book
covers local, national, and transnational cultures from Asia,
Africa, Europe and the Americas. Its wide-ranging essays offer a
nuanced and, taken together, a definitive (though that is not to
say comprehensive or systematic) study of a global phenomenon:
postcolonial print cultures as a distinct literary field. The
chapters recover the efforts of writers, readers and publishers to
produce a postcolonialism ‘from below’, and thereby offer a
range of fresh perspectives on the meaning and history of
postcolonialism.
Before Charlie's Angels, Miami Vice, or NYPD Blue, there was
Dragnet. From 1951 to 1959, Jack Webb starred as Sergeant Joe
Friday in the most successful police drama in television history.
Webb ("Just the facts, ma'am") was also the creator of Dragnet, and
what made the show so revolutionary was its documentary-style
format and the fact that each episode was "ripped" from the files
of the LAPD. But 1950s television censors deemed many of the
stories in the LAPD's files too violent or sensational for the
airwaves. The Badge is Webb's collection of stories that could not
be presented on TV: untold, behind-the-scenes accounts of the Black
Dahlia murder, the Brenda Allen confessions, Stephen Nash's "thrill
murders," and Donald Bashor's "sleeping lady murders," to name just
a few. Case by case, The Badge takes readers on a spine chilling
police tour through the dark, shadowy world of Los Angeles crime.
It is a journey that, even four decades after it originally
appeared in print, no reader is likely to forget.
