Originally published in 1909. Author: Max Arthur Macauliffe
Language: English Keywords: Religion Many of the earliest books,
particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now
extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Obscure Press are
republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality,
modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
Born and educated in Ireland, Max Arthur Macauliffe (1841 1913)
joined the Indian Civil Service in 1862. In 1882 he was promoted to
the post of deputy commissioner of the Punjab. But it was after he
retired from the civil service in 1893 that he gained public
attention. Macauliffe developed a close affinity with Sikhism while
in the Punjab, eventually converting to the religion. His
translation into English of the Guru Granth Sahib, the holy book of
Sikhism, is recognised as the most accurate to date. Following this
project, he set to work on this six-volume set, covering the
history and philosophy of Sikhism, first published in 1909 and
still regarded as the definitive work on the subject. Volume 1
narrates the life of Guru Nanak, the founder of the Sikh religion,
with translations of his compositions in the Sikh holy book.

The 'Forgotten Voices' of the First World War speak for the final
time. LAST POST is very consciously the last word from the handful
of First World War survivors who were left alive in 2004. Now they
have passed away, our final human connection with the First World
War has been broken. Max Arthur, a skilled interviewer, took the
very last chance we had to ask questions of those who were there.
Now updated to include a new introduction by the author for the
centenary of the First World War.
Drawing on oral history interviews and archival materials, Summer
of Rage examines the causes and consequences of urban unrest that
occurred in Newark and Detroit during the summer of 1967. It seeks
to give voice to those who experienced these events firsthand and
places personal narratives in a broader theoretical framework
involving issues of collective memory, trauma, race relations, and
urban development. Further, the volume explores the multiple truths
present in these contentious events and thereby sheds light on the
past, present, and future of these cities.

Gripping eyewitness stories from eighty years of British flying in
war and peace Max Arthur, bestselling author of FORGOTTEN VOICES:
THE GREAT WAR, presents this moving collection of first-hand
accounts of life in the Royal Air Force, from 1918 to the present
day. LOST VOICES OF THE ROYAL AIR FORCE records the role of the RAF
in World War II, and, particularly, the Battle of Britain and the
desert battles of North Africa, as well as in the Falklands and in
the Gulf War. Through original interviews with air and ground crew,
the spirit and comradeship, the stress, courage, isolation,
vulnerability and the wonder of the wartime flying experience is
vividly explored.
Tough, highly adaptable and efficient, the Parachute Regiment has
established itself as one of the finest fighting forces in the
world. On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of its founding,
renowned historian Max Arthur has compiled this enthralling oral
history of the modern Parachute Regiment. This unique chronicle is
told through the voices of more than a hundred of the soldiers
themselves, and of those involved closely with them. Whether in the
Falklands, Kosovo, Iraq, Sierra Leone or Afghanistan, the Paras
have maintained their reputation for being where the fighting is
fiercest and where the odds of survival are often stacked heavily
against them. The gripping, visceral first-person narrative makes
The Paras stand apart from conventional regimental histories as one
of the most remarkable accounts of conflict ever published.
