As modern football grapples with the implications of a global
crisis, this book looks at first in the game's history: The First
World War. The game's structure and fabric faced existential
challenges as fundamental questions were asked about its place and
value in English society. This study explores how conflict reshaped
the People's Game on the English Home Front. The wartime seasons
saw football's entire commercial model challenged and questioned.
In 1915, the FA banned the payment of players, reopening a
decades-old dispute between the game's early amateur values and its
modern links to the world of capital and lucrative entertainment.
Wartime football forced supporters to consider whether the game
should continue, and if so, in what form? Using an array of
previously unused sources and images, this book explores how
players, administrators and fans grappled with these questions as
daily life was continually reshaped by the demands of total war.
From grassroots to elite football, players to spectators, gambling
to charity work, this study examines the social, economic and
cultural impact of what became Football's Great War.

Mitchell Alexander Jackson's contemporary thought, in response to
the change brought on by a change of the U.S. administration, was
breathed forth-Shorn Sharer. While the author was soaking up the
flavor of Wyoming, in the historic city of Sheridan, non-Election
2000 happened. Unfortunately its fruits remain.within and without
the borders of our United States of America-ever engulfing.
Following the locking of the ballot box, the constricting of the
rights of the American people, and the diluting of the past glory
of America's heritage concerning Truth, Honor, and Integrity are
there presently an eager embracing of intolerance, fain displays of
justness, and new forms of exclusionary practices. Perhaps that
self same Spirit that issued in the book Shorn Sharer sees merit in
this present work bearing The Flying Africans motif. This long ago
documented account of a small band of enslaved Africans and their
escape is Southern legendary folklore that passed into myth, only
to become the best kept legendary secrete in American culture. band
of flying Africans dropped their hoes, danced about in a ring, and
lifted up and flew away home--back to Africa. Mr. Jackson utilizes
The Flying Africans motif of flight to freedom to underline its
spiritual thread of awakening, awareness and growth. He unveils his
trilogy through the narrative entitled A Random Act Of Kindness, a
combination mystery/thriller/suspense, with a heavy heaping of
romance. The first novel of the trio is The Loving Cup. The Loving
Cup, a different type of Southern flavor, launches the plight of
the abandoned youth, Mildred Loveless, who is suddenly venerable to
every underworld figure with designs of immediate profit and
immeasurable power. The saga begins: The local police of Savannah,
Georgia are in the midst of an International threat to the survival
of U.S. America.
