As an account of contemporary fact, the book was out of date almost before it could be reviewed. Since then we have had countless studies by political scientists and constitutional lawyers, interspersed occasionally with the reflections of a retired politician. Yet for anyone who wants to understand the workings of British politics - be he university student, foreign observer or merely a curious elector - THE ENGLISH CONSTITUTION still remains the best introduction available.'***** *.*.*.*.* A scan of the cover is available. *.*.*.*.* Introduction by: R.

Previous owner's signature that has been blacked out on the front end paper.

The Triennial Act, which limited the life of any Parliament to three years, in two decades created a unique political situation in England. No fewer than ten general elections were held and the whole fabric of the national life became permeated with the spirit of party. Political history between 1694 and 1716 is the story not just of a divided Parliament, nor even an divided electorate, but of a divided society. *.*.*.*.* Edited by W. A. Speck.

But the U.N. is far more than the cockpit of the Security Council, and far more powerful. We may watch while statesmen bicker. We may grow impatient. But overseas a mother watches while her child drinks a cup of UNICEF milk - watches a team of WHO technicians protect her family from malaria. This what the United Nations means to her. She has never heard of the veto problem. She knows what is important. The global good works of the United Nations reported in this book may yet do more to secure world peace than all the shouting and solemnity of the Security Council If INICEF, UNSECO, WHO, and FAO mean little to you other than a jumble of initials, you will find explanation, encouragement and perhaps even inspiration in this report on the positive achievements of the U.N.

It is Ralph Miliband's profound belief that now, when more than ever before men live in the shadow of the state, the adoption of true socialism is the key issue facing civilisation and the crucial condition of any real progress. In his own words, one of the main purposes of this book is 'to show in detail that the pluralist-democratic view of society, of politics and of the state in regard to the countries of advanced capitalism, is in all essentials wrong.' THE STATE IN CAPITALIST SOCIETY is a genuine political statement, a systematic and scholarly challenge to the 'pragmatic consensus' and to all those who would favour a smoothing of the morally objectionable edges of capitalism rather than real political change. *.*.*.*.* A scan of the cover is available..

A chilling account of ignominy without battle, defeat without war, IN RETREAT rebukes the Trudeau government for reducing the Canadian Armed Forces to a position in which they "are no longer capable of performing the major defence tasks assigned to them." Within eighteen months of taking office, Trudeau threw the Armed Forces into confusion by turning Canada's defence priorities upside down. He angered allies by pulling crack Canadian troops out of NATO's front line in Europe. He froze the defence budget and slashed the already reduced forces by another 25,000 men. Today, after a decade of Trudeau mismanagement * morale in the Armed Forces is at its lowest * numbers are down * military equipment is obsolete. Are we able to defend ourselves? Is it too late? This book is a warning.***** *.*.*.*.* A scan of the cover is available.. (more information)

Pocket 75113 1965, 1st thus. (Paperback) *.*.*.*.*Good. *.*.*.*.* *.*.*.*.* *.*.*.*.* Some spine and cover wear and creasing. *.*.*.*.* *****'The 12th of October dawned like any other day for the Strategic Air Command, poised as always to spring into action at a moment's notice.' This is the opening sentence of General Thomas S. Power's Design for Survival, describing how SAC gave Khrushchev the heave-ho and chased the Russians from Cuba. It is a story with overtones of Zorro and even a heartwarming account of 'the little old lady who adopted a B-47 detachment and regularly brought the alert crews home-baked cookies and hot coffee,' but somehow one can't help wondering if there isn't a little more to it than that. Which is pretty much the impression left by this glowing account of how SAC does everything, from cleaning up dirty guerrilla wars to defending the American Way of Life--and would do it even better if only stingy politicians would vote it more money. Written by the man who had his finger on The Button for the past seven years, this book describes how a little more SAC in the arsenal can give us 'peace on our terms' (without saying what the terms are) in the cold war, and 'military victory' (whatever that is) if the button ever gets pushed.***** *.*.*.*.* A scan of the cover is available. *.*.*.*.* Originally published by Coward-McCann..

Pluto Press 1999. (Trade paperback) *.*.*.*.*Good. *.*.*.*.* 150pp. *.*.*.*.* *.*.*.*.* Very little spine or cover wear. *.*.*.*.* In the 1930s fascist parties came to power across Europe. Millions were killed in the Second World War and the Holocaust. Yet, sixty years on, fascism is on the rise once more in all major European states and far right parties are again winning converts. To explain this disturbing trend, Dave Renton surveys the history of modern fascism in Europe, from its prewar origins up to the present day. Renton examines the Marxist response to fascism in the age of Hitler and Mussolini and the writings of political thinkers such as Trotsky and Gramsci, as well as more recent European theorists such as Miliband, Mason and Poulantzas. Focusing on a critical assessment of the current liberal theories of fascism which emerged in the 1980s and the 1990s, the author argues that such theories provide an incomplete explanation of what fascism is and was: to understand any political movement it is vital to view it in a historical context. Renton argues that fascism should be understood not through the theory of liberal fascism studies, but rather in terms of the brutal practice that fascism brought in its wake. Providing the first new theory of fascism in its historical context to come from the left for over twenty years, this volume makes a key contribution to what is now a wide-ranging and heated debate. *.*.*.*.* A scan of the cover is available. *.*.*.*.* Cover illustration by: John Heartfield..
