Heather Jones

This is a ground-breaking history of the British monarchy in the First World War and of the social and cultural functions of monarchism in the British war effort. Heather Jones examines how the conflict changed British cultural attitudes to the monarchy, arguing that the conflict ultimately helped to consolidate the crown's sacralised status. She looks at how the monarchy engaged with war recruitment, bereavement, gender norms, as well as at its political and military powers and its relationship with Ireland and the empire. She considers the role that monarchism played in military culture and examines royal visits to the front, as well as the monarchy's role in home front morale and in interwar war commemoration. Her findings suggest that the rise of republicanism in wartime Britain has been overestimated and that war commemoration was central to the monarchy's revered interwar status up to the abdication crisis.

Beyond the Aegean sea, the Sisters of Light claim sanctuary on the rock, Luminos, an almost impenetrable fort. However, when three shipwrecked sailors are washed ashore on Luminetta, a tiny islet at the foot of the rock, the Sisters of Light must risk their own safety for the sake of the rescue mission. Tomas and Christos are taken into the Sisters' care, but Alphonse is left to his own fate - and for good reason. His presence alone risks everything they have fought to protect.

Sometimes, when you least expect it, you can have a psychic experience that can have a marked effect on your life. This happened to Brian Moore at the beginning of his legal career. He thought he had frightened off the would-be assailant of two young women one night, on his way home after a 'victory dinner' with his colleagues. Apparently it had not happened. The entire incident seemed not to have happened and he was mystified. He was also upset because the girl he saw most clearly was absolutely beautiful. He expunged it from his mind. He had to for his own benefit, for his own mental health. It took a lot of discipline to do this, but there was a reward, his career soared. And that, he thought, was the end of the matter...

In this groundbreaking study, Heather Jones provides the first in-depth and comparative examination of violence against First World War prisoners. She shows how the war radicalised captivity treatment in Britain, France and Germany, dramatically undermined international law protecting prisoners of war and led to new forms of forced prisoner labour and reprisals, which fuelled wartime propaganda that was often based on accurate prisoner testimony. This book reveals how, during the conflict, increasing numbers of captives were not sent to home front camps but retained in western front working units to labour directly for the British, French and German armies - in the German case, by 1918, prisoners working for the German army endured widespread malnutrition and constant beatings. Dr Jones examines the significance of these new, violent trends and their later legacy, arguing that the Great War marked a key turning-point in the twentieth-century evolution of the prison camp.
