    Changing War

    The British Army, the Hundred Days Campaign and The Birth of the Royal Air Force, 1918

    All of the essays are interesting. Several, however, stand out either for their insights or their subject matter. Among these are those on the logistical preparations for the Battle of Amiens, combined arms operations during the “Hundred Days,” and the influence of air-ground cooperation during the campaign on subsequent British military thought. A volume in the series “Birmingham War Studies,” Changing War is not only important reading for serious students of World War I but also for anyone seriously interested in the development of combined arms operations.

  2. The Great Irish Famine and Social Class

    The Great Irish Famine and Social Class

    The sesquicentenary of the Great Irish Famine saw the emergence of seminal, often revisionist, scholarship addressing the impact of the catastrophe on Ireland¿s economy (including its relations with Britain) and investigating topics such as the suffering of the rural classes, landlord and tenant relations, Poor Laws and relief operations. The Great Irish Famine and Social Class represents a significant new stage in Irish Famine scholarship, adopting a broader interdisciplinary approach that includes ground-breaking demographical, economic, cultural and literary research on poverty, poor relief and class relations during one of Europe¿s most devastating food crises. The volume incorporates a comparative European framework, as well as exploring the issue of class in relation to the British and North American Famine diaspora.
