In this groundbreaking work, which covers thousands of years and spans the globe, Linda Grant De Pauw depicts women as victims and as warriors; as nurses, spies, sex workers, and wives and mothers of soldiers; as warrior queens leading armies into battle; and as baggage carriers marching in the rear. Beginning with the earliest archaeological evidence of warfare and ending with the dozens of wars in progress today, Battle Cries and Lullabies demonstrates that warfare has always and everywhere involved women. Following an introductory chapter on the questions raised about women’s participation in warfare, the book presents a documented, chronological survey linked to familiar models of military history. De Pauw provides historical context for current public policy debates over the role of women in the military. "Whether one applauds or deplores their presence and their actions, women have always been part of war. To ignore this fact grossly distorts our understanding of human history."

Set against a volatile political landscape, Irish republican culture has struggled to maintain continuity with the past, affirm legitimacy in the present, and generate a sense of community for the future. Lullabies and Battle Cries explores the relationship between music, emotion, memory, and identity in republican parading bands, with a focus on how this music continues to be utilized in a post-conflict climate. As author Jaime Rollins shows, rebel parade music provides a foundational idiom of national and republican expression, acting as a critical medium for shaping new political identities within continually shifting dynamics of republican culture.

Capturing the chaotic nature of the U.S. Marine experience at war in Vietnam, this memoir recounts the experiences of a young officer in a series of unrelated short pieces. In a narrative as fragmented as the war itself, the only resolution is the same one reached by the Marines who fought--the conclusion of a tour of duty with no happy ending. Each chapter describes a specific event, a story of emotion, or a remarkable person (some are heroes, some are cowards). The reader lives the experience alongside the author, gaining a true sense of the pulse-pounding contact, surrealism, pathos, humor, and beauty that defined one of the low points of the American experience.

I was Atheena, a mortal Princess of Veer... At the forging of Dalvorren, a song was woven into the fabric of time, and thus the war for mastery over the land ensued. Nearly two thousand years after the Landings of Men, a daughter named Atheena is born to the King of Veer. She grows into a lovely young woman, unaware of her destiny until the enemies of Men begin ruthlessly hunting her. Stolen from her homeland, she must endure the crucibles of captivity, awaiting her rescuer, a mysterious stranger whom her father upholds as the Morning Star. As the Last Battle draws ever nearer, the enemies of Men marshal their forces while Atheena and those loyal to the Morning Star await the Unveiling, the day when their greatest champion will be revealed to the world and will bring his might to bear against the forces of evil. Though the enemies of Men seem to be sovereign, Atheena's doom is not in their grasp but is written into that ancient song: Onuuonath Keeril, the Ascension of the Morning Star.

Anyone who has ever cared for a child knows a lullaby a gentle song can quiet and calm a childs active spirit. As the children of God, our minds can also be full of distractions and worries and a full agenda that competes with Gods best for us. In God Loves a Lullaby, Jonathan Herst, himself a young father, examines the Father heart of God. Just as a human parent responds to the cries and fears of his children, God hears our cries and anxieties. Jonathan Herst examines a full slate of our emotional issues desperation, regret, loneliness, anger, and many others, and contrasts our view of those feelings at the time, with Gods eternal point of view. In this simple devotional, the author invites us to consider how God hears our prayers. Gods view, Jonathan reasons, is different than ours. Our prayers may seem like emotional desperation, but they are music to the ears of our Father, God. Read on, and you too will find that God Loves a Lullaby. J.

The Routledge History of Women in Europe since 1700 is a landmark publication that provides the most coherent overview of woman’s role and place in western Europe, spanning the era from the beginning of the eighteenth century until the twentieth century. In this collection of essays, leading women's historians counter the notion of ‘national’ histories and provide the insight and perspective of a European approach. Important intellectual, political and economic developments have not respected national boundaries, nor has the story of women’s past, or the interplay of gender and culture. The interaction between women, ideology and female agency, the way women engaged with patriarchal and gendered structures and systems, and the way women carved out their identities and spaces within these, informs the writing in this book. For any student of women’s studies or European history, The Routledge History of Women in Europe since 1700 will prove an informative addition to their studies.
