The Second Battle of the Marne
The First Battle of the Marne produced the so-called Miracle of the Marne, when French and British forces stopped the initial German drive on Paris in 1914. Hundreds of thousands of casualties later, with opposing forces still dug into trench lines, the Germans tried again to push their way to Paris and to victory. The Second Battle of the Marne (July 15 to August 9, 1918) marks the point at which the Allied armies stopped the massive German Ludendorff Offensives and turned to offensive operations themselves. The Germans never again came as close to Paris nor resumed the offensive. The battle was one of the first large multinational battles fought by the Allies since the assumption of supreme command by French general Ferdinand Foch. It marks the only time the French, American, and British forces fought together in one battle. A superb account of the bloody events of those fateful days, this book sheds new light on a critically important 20th-century battle.
Development, Decentralization and Democracy
This book explores the controversy in political science surrounding the civil society/social capital paradigm, by studying the performance of decentralized governments in West Bengal and Bangladesh. Gram panchayats and NGOs provide the focus of the study. The study intends to determine whether a growth in social capital can explain why decentralized governments seem to be more effective in West Bengal, though both areas decentralized their governments around the same time. The two regions have shared for centuries a common history, civic culture, ethnic identity and language, though religion led to the separation of the regions.

The Indian Annual Register A Digest Of Public Affairs Of India During The Period 1919-1947) (58 Vols.)
The Register is a comprehensive digest of all phases of public affairs of India with an authentic and dependable record of the Political, Economic, Industrial, Educational and Social Activities of the nation during the most momentous years of Indian history from 1919 to 1947.During these years, the National Movement entered its mass struggle phase. Communalism gradually assumed a menacing proportion leading to the Partition of the country between India and Pakistan. In the times to come, India emerged as the most industrially developed country among the former colonial states.These years witnessed the rise of a powerful Left Movement resulting in forceful socialist and communist parties, and for a while a revolutionary terrorist movement. A brief glance at these volumes is sufficient to show that they have also covered fully other grounds of student, youth, women, cultural, and trade union movements which were integrated with the national movement and thus, made the Register an almost indispensable record for advanced students and researchers of politics and history on Indian affairs.

Un/common Cultures
In Un/common Cultures, Kamala Visweswaran develops an incisive critique of the idea of culture at the heart of anthropology, describing how it lends itself to culturalist assumptions. She holds that the new culturalism—the idea that cultural differences are definitive, and thus divisive—produces a view of “uncommon cultures” defined by relations of conflict rather than forms of collaboration. The essays in Un/common Cultures straddle the line between an analysis of how racism works to form the idea of “uncommon cultures” and a reaffirmation of the possibilities of “common cultures,” those that enact new forms of solidarity in seeking common cause. Such “cultures in common...
