Blood, Sweat, and Toil
Blood, Sweat, and Toil is the first scholarly history of the British working class in the Second World War. It integrates social, political, and labour history, and reflects the most recent scholarship and debates on social class, gender, and the forging of identities. Geoffrey G. Field examines the war's impact on workers in the varied contexts of the family, military service, the workplace, local communities, and the nation. Previous studies of the Home Front have analysed the lives of civilians, but they have neglected the importance of social class in defining popular experience and its centrality in public attitudes, official policy, and the politics of the war years.

Red Flag and Union Jack
It is generally assumed that the language of patriotism and national identity belongs to the political right, but the emergence of socialism in the 1880s shows clearly that the left also drew on such ideas in its formative years to legitimate a particular form of socialism, one presented as a restoration of an English past lost to industrial capitalism. The First World War dealt a severe blow to this radical patriotism: though the anti-war left continued to use radical patriotic language in the early years, the war degraded patriotism generally, while the Russian Revolution gave internationalism a new focus, and also threatened the dominant concept of British socialism. Moderate Labour sought to prove their fitness to govern, and concentrated on the `national interest' rather than oppositional Englishness, while the left of the movement looked to Soviet Russia rather than the English past for models for a future socialist society. PAUL WARD is lecturer in Modern British History at Royal Holloway, University of London, and Visiting Lecturer at the University of Westminster.

Easy Money
In Easy Money, Geoffrey Field pens a twisting and highly detailed tale of drug-running and crime. Greed, violence, deceit, betrayal, and revenge. It's all packed in this story of criminal fiction.

With impeccable imagery, fast-paced action, and accurately illustrated procedures, Field shows how a complicated international drug scheme can almost be pulled off successfully. Will a young couple move on past lies and danger? Will the fishing industry collapse and suffer even more after the drug raid? Can the criminals truly evade the law at every corner? Easy Money is a sure delight for all fans of criminal fiction.
