Richard Carr's Charlie Chaplin places politics at the centre of the
filmmaker's life as it looks beyond Chaplin's role as a comedic
figure to his constant political engagement both on and off the
screen. Drawing from a wealth of archival sources from across the
globe, Carr provides an in-depth examination of Chaplin's life as
he made his way from Lambeth to Los Angeles. From his experiences
in the workhouse to his controversial romantic relationships and
his connections with some of the leading political figures of his
day, this book sheds new light on Chaplin's private life and
introduces him as a key social commentator of the time. Whether
interested in Hollywood and Hitler or communism and celebrity,
Charlie Chaplin is essential reading for all students of
twentieth-century history.
The 1920s is often recognised as a decade of fascism, flappers and
film. Covering the political, economic and social developments of
the 1920s throughout the world, The Global 1920s takes an
international and cross-cultural perspective on the critical
changes and conditions that prevailed from roughly 1919 to 1930.
With twelve chapters on themes including international diplomacy
and the imperial powers, film and music, art and literature, women
and society, democracy, fascism, and science and technology, this
book explores both the 'big' questions of capitalism, class and
communism on the one hand and the everyday experience of citizens
around the globe on the other. Utilising archival sources
throughout, it concludes with an extensive discussion of the
circumstances surrounding the 1929 stock market crash and the onset
of the Great Depression, the effects of which were felt worldwide.
Covering topics from the oil boom in South America to the start of
civil war in China, employment advances and setbacks for women
across the globe, and the advent of radio and air travel, the
authors provide a concise yet comprehensive overview of this
turbulent decade. Containing illustrations and a selection of
discussion questions at the end of each chapter, this book is
valuable reading for students of the 1920s in global history.
What is One Nation politics? What has it been, and what should be
it be today? Since Ed Miliband's speech at the 2012 Labour Party
Conference these questions have been much asked, but not so often
clearly answered. Outlining the historical context, and offering
suggestions for contemporary thinkers, this comprehensive overview
shows how all three major UK political parties have made a
significant contribution to the One Nation agenda over the past
century and a half. Re-asserting the One Nation tradition inherent
in interventionist liberals like Keynes and Lloyd George, it
encourages us to look beyond reformist high Tory politicians such
as Benjamin Disraeli and sketches out precedents for current
politicians in areas such as house building, local government, the
living wage, a financial transaction tax, and the welfare state.
Providing an accessible guide to the One Nation ideal, Richard Carr
gives those of all political persuasions some food for thought
whilst pointing the way for future policy making.

Between 1918 and 1939, 448 men who performed uniformed service in
the First World War became Conservative MPs. This relatively
high-profile cohort have been under-explored as a distinct body,
yet a study of their experiences of the war and the ways in which
they - and the Conservative Party - represented those experiences
to the voting public reveals much about the political culture of
Interwar Britain and the use of the Great War as political capital.
Radicalised ex-servicemen have, thus far, been considered a rather
continental phenomenon historiographically. And whilst attitudes to
Hitler and Mussolini form part of this analysis, the study also
explores why there were fewer such types in Britain. The
Conservative Party, it will be shown, played a crucial part in such
a process - with British politics serving as a contested space for
survivors' interpretations of what the war should mean.
This text explores the concept of major and serious crime
investigations as it takes the reader through the fundamental
elements of investigative theory and practice that are relevant to
this area of criminality. Unlike other texts that concentrate on
either bespoke areas of criminality such as homicide, terrorism or
tends in concepts such as county lines, this book recognises that
the reader will be new to investigative study with little
practitioner experience to anchor their learning. By using the
latest evidence-based policing knowledge and critical thinking, it
explores the concepts of major and serious crime, detailing key
areas of legislation and how investigative strategies and decision
making can influence successful outcomes. Other topics examined in
this text is the key areas of risk for major and serious crime
investigations, the impact of investigators, the concept of
disclosure, investigative interviewing and how civil orders,
designed to tackle this type of criminality can provide a
successful alternative to prosecution. Both students and
practitioners can find this book useful with this book's
contemporary approach of using case studies and contemporary
investigative examples relevant to the topic. This book brings
together academic theory and operational understanding of major and
serious crime that provides learners with an easy to follow guide
that they can keep returning to throughout their career.

This book provides a concise set of thirteen essays looking at
various aspects of the British left, movements of protest and the
cumulative impact of the First World War. There are three broad
areas this work intends to make a contribution to; the first is to
help us further understand the role the Labour Party played in the
conflict, and its evolving attitudes towards the war; the second
strand concerns the notion of work, and particularly women's work;
the third strand deals with the impact of theory and practice of
forces located largely outside the United Kingdom. Through these
essays this book aims to provide a series of thirteen bite-size
analyses of key issues affecting the British left throughout the
war, and to further our understanding of it in this critical period
of commemoration. -- .

reached a new era with the rise of New Labour and the New Democrats
in the late-1980s and early-1990s. Richard Carr reveals the untold
story of the transatlantic 'Third Way' by analysing how Tony Blair
and Bill Clinton won power and ultimately how they lost it. Using
newly unearthed archives and interviews with key players, he
investigates the relationship between the administrations and sheds
new light on big events such as the Good Friday Agreement in
Northern Ireland, the handover to George W. Bush, and the
controversial Iraq War.

Winner of the 2012 FutureCycle Poetry Book Prize. DEAD WENDY is a
sequence of elegiac poems, reflections on broken relationships and
unlikely friendships, lyrics-sung, shouted, wept-of life's raw
drama and ultimate tragedy. At heart, it is a love story. The
narrative a tapestry of memories brought forth in three distinct
voices as each character recounts events, the poems chronicle the
last days of a young woman and the two men who loved her-and
pursued her beyond death.
"Sharp, pointed, the poems confront the sacred and the profane and
find them often to be made of the same elements, the same common
dust. The mode here is not devotional, but confrontational, a
contemporary Jacob wrestling with the questions of flesh and the
spirit." -- Erik Pankey
