Vuonna 1941 Hitler sulki viimeisen Leningradiin johtavan tien. Alkoi yksi historian karmeimmista piirityksistä, jonka aikana saksalaiset pyrkivät laskelmoidusti näännyttämään Leningradin siviiliväestön nälkään. Talven lähestyessäja ruokavarastojen huvetessa kaupungin asukkaat tunsivatkin tämän todellisuuden nahoissaan. Jonesin liikuttava teos on ihmisyyttä korostava kertomus Leningradin piirityksestä. Ääneen pääsevät kaupungin asukkaat, jotka kertovat suuresta kärsimyksestä mutta myös humaaniuden ja keskinäisen avunannon voimasta. Fyysisesti heikentyneinäkin ihmiset löysivät itsestään kipinän auttaa muita ja luoda toivoa. Tämän symboliksi on noussut Sostakovitsin 7. sinfonia ja konsertti, joka valoi leningradilaisiin uskomatonta taistelutahtoa. Lähteinään Jones käyttää piirityksen kokeneiden päiväkirjoja ja silminnäkijöiden lausuntoja. Hän ei kaihda puhumasta pitkään vaietuista tosiasioista, kuten ryöstelystä ja kannibalismista. Hätkähdyttävintä on silti kaupunginhallintoviranomaisten välinpitämättömyys, joka kylvi sisäistä tuhoa ja josta leningradilaiset maksoivat kovan hinnan. Myös Stalin piti tarkkaan huolta siitä, ettei tieto kaupungin kauhuista levinnyt sen rajojen ulkopuolelle. Piirityksen päättyessä vuonna 1944 lähes miljoona ihmistä oli menettänyt henkensä.

Human Trafficking

Human Trafficking

Sasha Jesperson; Rune Henriksen; Anne-Marie Barry; Michael Jones

C Hurst Co Publishers Ltd
2019

'Human trafficking' brings to mind gangsters forcing people, often women and girls, to engage in dangerous activities against their will, under threat of violence. However, human trafficking is not limited to the sex trade, and this picture is inadequate. It occurs in many different industries---domestic service, construction, factory labour, on farms and fishing boats---and targets people from all over the globe. Human trafficking is much more complicated and nuanced picture than its common representations. Victims move through multiple categories along their journey and at their destination, shifting from smuggled migrant to trafficking victim and back again several times. The emergence of a criminal pyramid scheme also makes many victims complicit in their own exploitation. Finally, the threat posed by the involvement of organised crime is little understood. The profit motives and violence that come with such crime make human trafficking more dangerous for its victims and difficult to detect or address. Drawing on field research in source, transit and destination countries, the authors analyse trafficking from four countries: Albania, Eritrea, Nigeria and Vietnam. What emerges is a business model that evolves in response to changes in legislation, governance and law enforcement capacities.

The Black Prince

The Black Prince

Michael Jones

Pegasus Books
2019
nidottu
As a child he was given his own suit of armor; at the age of sixteen, he helped defeat the French at Cr cy. At Poitiers, in 1356, his victory over King John II of France forced the French into a humiliating surrender that marked the zenith of England's dominance in the Hundred Years War. As lord of Aquitaine, he ruled a vast swathe of territory across the west and southwest of France, holding a magnificent court at Bordeaux that mesmerized the brave but unruly Gascon nobility and drew them like moths to the flame of his cause. He was Edward of Woodstock, eldest son of Edward III, and better known to posterity as "the Black Prince." His military achievements captured the imagination of Europe: heralds and chroniclers called him "the flower of all chivalry" and "the embodiment of all valor." But what was the true nature of the man behind the chivalric myth, and of the violent but pious world in which he lived?

Bosworth 1485: The Battle That Transformed England

Bosworth 1485: The Battle That Transformed England

Michael Jones

Pegasus Books
2016
nidottu
On August 22, 1485, at Bosworth Field, Richard III fell, the Wars of the Roses ended, and the Tudor dynasty began. The clash is so significant because it marks the break between medieval and modern; yet how much do we really know about this historical landmark? Michael Jones uses archival discoveries to show that Richard III's defeat was by no means inevitable and was achieved only through extraordinary chance. He relocates the battle away from the site recognized for more than 500 years. With startling detail of Henry Tudor's reliance on French mercenaries, plus a new account of the battle itself, the author turns Shakespeare on its head, painting an entirely fresh picture of the dramatic life and death of Richard III, England's most infamous monarch.
