Humanities & Social SciencesDecember 2014East German intelligence and Ireland, 1949–90
Espionage, terrorism and diplomacy
by Jerome de Wiel
This book is an in-depth examination of the relations between Ireland and the former East Germany between the end of the Second World War and the fall of the Berlin Wall. It explores political, diplomatic, economic, media and cultural issues. The long and tortuous process of establishing diplomatic relations is unique in the annals of diplomatic history. Central in this study are the activities of the Stasi. They show how and where East German intelligence obtained information on Ireland and Northern Ireland and also what kind of information was gathered. A particularly interesting aspect of the book is the monitoring of the activities of the Irish Republican Army and the Irish National Liberation Army and their campaigns against the British army in West Germany. The Stasi had infiltrated West German security services and knew about Irish suspects and their contacts with West German terrorist groups. East German Intelligence and Ireland, 1949-90 makes an original contribution to diplomatic, intelligence, terrorist and Cold War studies. ;

February 2020Allein unter Briten
Eine Entdeckungsreise
by Tuvia Tenenbom, Isi Tenenbom, Karen Witthuhn
Als Dramatiker und Gründer des Jewish Theater of New York wusste Tuvia Tenebom schon immer gutes Theater zu schätzen. Und wo kommen die besten Stücke zur Aufführung? In Großbritannien natürlich! Grund genug also, der Insel mal wieder einen Besuch abzustatten, zumal in einer Zeit, in der das große Brexit-Schauspiel über die Bühne geht. Ist es eine Komödie? Ist es eine Tragödie? Oder schlicht absurdes Theater?, wollte er von den Briten wissen. Das war zumindest der Plan. Aber: Der Mensch denkt, und Gott lacht, wie es so schön heißt. Denn seine Reise – die ihn über viele Monate durch das Vereinigte Königreich führte und während der er in Winston Churchills Zimmer ein Nickerchen machte, mit Jeremy Corbyn Katz und Maus spielte, mit Nigel Farage verbotenen Tabak rauchte, ein Monster verspeiste und einem Geist nachstellte – gestaltete sich ganz anders als angenommen. Die meisten Inselbewohner wollten nämlich mit ihm nur bedingt über den Brexit sprechen, dafür redeten sie bereitwillig über andere Themen – Themen, die ihnen am Herzen lagen, wie der allgegenwärtige Antisemitismus. Die Gespräche, die Tuvia Tenenbom mit Lords und Ladies führte, mit Politprofis und Pub-Philosophen, Wohlhabenden und Habenichtsen, Geistesgrößen und Geistlichen, mit Gangstern und Beauty Queens, mit Antisemiten und Palästina-Romantikern u.v.m., zeichnen nicht nur ein erhellendes Stimmungsbild der englischen Gesellschaft, sondern zeigen auch, dass sie zutiefst gespalten ist und erbittert um ihre Identität und ihre Zukunft kämpft.

The ArtsJuly 2024Italian graphic design
Culture and practice in Milan, 1930s-60s
by Chiara Barbieri
Italian graphic design offers a new perspective on the subject by exploring the emergence and articulation of graphic design practice, from the interwar period through to the appearance of an international graphic design discourse in the 1960s. The book asks how graphic designers learned their trade and investigates the ways in which they organised and made their practice visible while negotiating their collective identity with neighbouring practices such as typography, advertising and industrial design. Attention is drawn to everyday design practice, educational issues, mediating channels, networks, design exchange, organisational strategies and discourses on modernism. Drawing on a wide range of primary sources and placing an emphasis on visual analysis, this book provides a model for a contextualised graphic design history as an integral part of the history of design and visual culture.

Politics & governmentDecember 2016Intelligence, security and the Attlee governments, 1945–51
An uneasy relationship?
by Daniel W. B. Lomas
Drawing on recently released documents and private papers, this is the first book-length study to examine the intimate relationship between the Attlee government and Britain's intelligence and security services at the start of the Cold War. Often praised for the formation of the modern-day 'welfare state', Attlee's government also played a significant, if little understood, role in combating communism at home and overseas, often in the face of vocal, sustained opposition from its own backbenches. This book tells the story of Attlee's Cold War. From Whitehall vetting to secret operations in Eastern Europe and the fallout of Soviet atomic espionage on both sides of the Atlantic, it provides a fresh interpretation of the Attlee government, making it essential reading for anyone interested in the Labour Party, intelligence, security and Britain's foreign and defence policy at the start of the Cold War.

MedicineApril 2023The malleable body
Surgeons, artisans, and amputees in early modern Germany
by Heidi Hausse
This book uses amputation and prostheses to tell a new story about medicine and embodied knowledge-making in early modern Europe. It draws on the writings of craft surgeons and learned physicians to follow the heated debates that arose from changing practices of removing limbs, uncovering tense moments in which decisions to operate were made. Importantly, it teases out surgeons' ideas about the body embedded in their technical instructions. This unique study also explores the material culture of mechanical hands that amputees commissioned locksmiths, clockmakers, and other artisans to create, revealing their roles in developing a new prosthetic technology. Over two centuries of surgical and artisanal interventions emerged a growing perception, fundamental to biomedicine today, that humans could alter the body - that it was malleable.

The ArtsSeptember 2024The renewal of post-war Manchester
Planning, architecture and the state
by Richard Brook
A compelling account of the project to transform post-war Manchester, revealing the clash between utopian vision and compromised reality. Urban renewal in Britain was thrilling in its vision, yet partial and incomplete in its implementation. For the first time, this deep study of a renewal city reveals the complex networks of actors behind physical change and stagnation in post-war Britain. Using the nested scales of region, city and case-study sites, the book explores the relationships between Whitehall legislation, its interpretation by local government planning officers and the on-the-ground impact through urban architectural projects. Each chapter highlights the connections between policy goals, global narratives and the design and construction of cities. The Cold War, decolonialisation, rising consumerism and the oil crisis all feature in a richly illustrated account of architecture and planning in post-war Manchester.

October 2016Allein unter Amerikanern
Eine Entdeckungsreise
by Tuvia Tenenbom, Isi Tenenbom, Michael Adrian
Seit über drei Jahrzehnten lebt Tuvia Tenenbom in New York. Als er sich 2015 für seine neue Großreportage erstmals auf eine Reise quer durch die USA begab, ahnte er nicht, was ihn erwarten würde: »Ich hätte nie gedacht, dass die Vereinigten Staaten so völlig anders sind, als ich immer angenommen hatte. Lange Jahre war ich überzeugt, dass ich sie ziemlich gut kennen würde. Aber ich bin mir da nicht mehr so sicher. Erst jetzt entdecke ich so nach und nach das wahre Amerika, Stück für Stück, Mensch für Mensch, Staat für Staat.« Tenenbom reiste von Florida bis nach Alaska, von Alabama bis nach Hawaii, vom Deep South und Bible Belt bis an die Großen Seen und die Westküste, sprach mit Politikern und Predigern, mit Evangelikalen, Mormonen und Quäkern, mit Rednecks und Waff ennarren, Kriminellen und Gefängnisinsassen, mit Indianern und Countrymusikern, Antisemiten und Zionisten, mit Obdachlosen und Superreichen und vielen, vielen mehr. Die USA rühmen sich, »das Land der Freien und die Heimat der Tapferen« zu sein. Das wahre Amerika jedoch, so Tenenboms bestürzende Erkenntnis, ist weder frei noch tapfer, sondern ängstlich darauf bedacht, alle Freiheiten einzuschränken. Es ist in sich zutiefst gespalten, rassistisch und hasserfüllt. »Kann sich die Menschheit auf die USA verlassen? Ich würde es nicht tun.«
