This book is, in effect, an eyewitness account of the aftermath of The Battle of Franklin, the advance on Nashville, the disastrous Battle of Nashville & the long retreat afterward. Mr. Stockdale has skillfully allowed the participants--both blue & grey--to speak for themselves. While this makes for exciting reading Stockdale, has also made a solid contribution to Confederate historiography by filling in those months from the Battle of Nashville until the final surrender. Most histories simply make a transition from Hood's defeat to the surrender in North Carolina. After Nashville, Forrest led the rear guard, & those who fought & died along the way added laurels, even in defeat, to an army already crowned in glory. The first thousand copies will be signed & autographed by the author. Send $17.95 (plus $2.00 shipping & handling) Check, Money Order, VISA/MasterCard to: Paul Stockdale, P.O.

Work organizations are a major site of gender politics for professional women and men, and although there are more women in senior positions than ever before, these increased opportunities have not been gained without psychological consequences. Evidence-based and theoretically driven, the new edition of Gender, Power and Organization raises important questions about gender and power in the workplace, and the psychology of women’s advancement. Twenty years on from the first edition, it re-examines gender relations at work and asks why, despite many years of feminist critique and action, we are able to understand the dynamics of the workplace but fail to make them more representative. The s...

On July 20, 1917, Russia became the world's first major power to grant women the right to vote and hold public office. Yet in the wake of the October Revolution later that year, the foundational organizations and individuals who pioneered the suffragist cause were all but erased from Russian history. The women's movement, when mentioned at all, is portrayed as rooted in the elitist and bourgeois culture of the tsarist era, meaningless to proletarian and peasant women, and counter to socialist ideology. Rochelle Goldberg Ruthchild reveals that Russian feminists in fact appealed to all classes and were an integral force for revolution and social change, particularly during the monumental upris...

“The war to end all wars” rings out a bitter mockery of the First World War, often viewed as the seminal catastrophe of the twentieth century, the crucible from which Soviet, Fascist, and Nazi dictatorships emerged. Today’s conventional wisdom is that the Great War attuned the world to large-scale slaughter, that post-war efforts directed by the Treaty at Versailles were botched, that unbridled new nationalisms made the Second World War inevitable. This provocative book refutes such interpretations, arguing instead that the first two decades of the twentieth century—and the First World War in particular—played an essential part in the construction of a peaceful new order on a globa...
