During the 1930s and 1940s, and again in the 1970s and 1980s, most
European nations, indeed most industrial nations, undertook major
changes in macroeconomic policy orientation and financial
regulation. The contributors to this volume, historians, political
scientists, and economists, identify the forces which drove these
major policy shifts, and explore their implications for other areas
of economic and social policy.
During his 2009-2010 combat tour in Afghanistan, battalion
commander Lt. Col. Michael J. Forsyth kept a daily journal. In it
he candidly writes about his daily interactions with the Afghan
government, citizens, security forces, and his intermittent
conflict with the enemy. As the deployment progresses, the journal
reveals that his initial expectations for peace in Afghanistan were
tempered by his experiences and encounters. In the process, Col.
Forsyth learned critical lessons in leadership and changed his
thinking about realistic goals that can be accomplished in
Afghanistan. The journal, and its subsequent annotations, also
provides a glimpse into how the U.S. Army functions at the unit
level and what America's Soldiers do on a daily basis to prepare
for and engage in combat.
In this major interpretation of the crisis of democracy in Italy
after World War I, Douglas Forsyth uses unpublished documents in
Italy's central state archives, as well as private papers,
diplomatic and bank archives in Italy, France, Britain and the
United States, to analyse monetary and financial policy in Italy
from the outbreak of war until the march on Rome. The study focuses
on real and perceived conflicts and often painful choices between
great power politics, economic growth, macroeconomic stabilisation
and the preservation or strengthening of democratic consensus. The
key issue explored is why governments in Italy after World War I,
although headed by left-liberal reformers, were unable to press
ahead with the democratic reformism which had characterised the
so-called 'Giolittian era', 1901-1914. Their failure paved the way
for parliamentary deadlock and Mussolini's seizure of power.
The Confederacy had a great opportunity to turn the Civil War in
its favor in 1864, but squandered this chance when it failed to
finish off a Union army cornered in Louisiana because of concerns
about another Union army coming south from Arkansas. The
Confederates were so confused that they could not agree on a course
of action to contend with both threats, thus the Union offensive
advancing from Arkansas saved the one in Louisiana and became known
to history as the Camden Expedition. The Camden Expedition is
intriguing because of the "might-have-beens" had the key players
made different decisions. The author contends that if Frederick
Steele, commander of the Federal VII Army Corps, had not received a
direct order from General Ulysses S. Grant to move south, disaster
would have befallen not only the Army of the Gulf in Louisiana but
the entire Union cause, and possibly would have prevented Abraham
Lincoln from winning reelection.
The descriptive data in this book, first published in 1989, were
obtained from participant observation and interviews with merchant
seaman current and retired. In addition there is reprinted a
complete set of the laws relating to American seaman between
1918-1970. Together they provide a comprehensive understanding of
the historical events surrounding the American merchant seaman, the
creation of maritime policy, and the policy itself.

Since the 19th Century, there has been an accepted distinction between financial systems that separate commercial and investment banking and those that do not. This comprehensive collection aims to establish how and why financial systems develop, and how knowledge of financial differentiation in the 19th Century may afford insight into the development of contemporary banking structure. This book poses a systematic challenge to Alexander Gerschenkron's 1950s thesis on universal banks. With contributions from leading scholars such as Ranald Michie and Jaime Reis, this well written book provides solid and intriguing arguments throughout. eBook available with sample pages: 0203222113
In 1864, General Sterling Price with an army of 12,000 ragtag
Confederates invaded Missouri in an effort to wrest it from the
United States Army's Department of Missouri. Price hoped his
campaign would sway the 1864 presidential election, convincing
war-weary Northern voters to cast their ballots for a peace
candidate rather than Abraham Lincoln. It was the South's last
invasion of Northern territory. But it was simply too late in the
war for the South to achieve such an outcome, and Price grossly
mismanaged the campaign, guaranteeing defeat of his force and the
Confederate States. This book chronicles the Confederacy's
desperate final and ill-fated attempt win a decisive victory.
