Somme
Into the Breach
Hugh Sebag-Montefiore
H A Telegraph Best Book of the Year
“[Sebag-Montefiore] utilizes the
intimate archives of letters, diaries,
and dispatches to produce a far
more detailed and individualized
portrait of the subject than earlier
big single-volume treatments…The
narrative moves easily from the
larger logistical tangles back at
headquarters to the experiences of
the men fighting in the front lines,
and Sebag-Montefiore is every bit
as authoritative writing about the
birth of air and tank warfare as he
is picking apart the psychologies of
the men involved…[An] enormously
satisfying book.”

“Pieter M. Judson’s book informs and stimulates. If his account of
Habsburg achievements, especially in the 18th century, is rather
starry-eyed, it is a welcome corrective to the black legend usually
presented. Lucid, elegant, full of surprising and illuminating details,
it can be warmly recommended to anyone with an interest in

America is a nation built on slaves and guns.”

Alexis Peri
“By mining an extraordinarily rich treasure trove of unpublished diaries,
Peri moves beyond relating what happened during the blockade and
instead explains how Leningraders made sense of it. Sophisticated,
nuanced, and extremely well written, The War Within is a major contri-
bution to our understanding of the mentality of Leningrad’s civilians
during the blockade and the role that diaries played in Soviet history.”

ideology…[An] engrossing book.”

American Soldiers and the Hazards of Peace
Susan L. Carruthers

“A disturbing look at the experiences of the ‘after-army’: the

American service-people who stayed on active duty after the
Second World War, charged with rebuilding the places they had
helped to destroy. Frank, often harsh voices from letters, diaries
and memoirs serve up ‘inconvenient truths’: the armed forces’
caste system and racism; casual cruelty and venality trumping
conscience; ‘fraternisation’ (and prostitution and rape) with
‘blowsy frauleins’ and ‘anxious to please’ Japanese maids.”

Éamon de Valera
A Will to Power
Ronan Fanning
“[A] sharp new biography
of de Valera.”
—Fintan O’Toole,
New York Review of Books
“De Valera is the subject of many
biographies, including several
authorized productions that he
carefully supervised. But Éamon de
Valera: A Will to Power, by Ronan
Fanning, stands out…An astute,
nuanced and highly readable life
that manages to be both sharply
critical and expansive in its
judgments. In this era of doorstop

book is a work of great originality because it does not focus on the

A History

provides a valuable service in underlining the centrality of the

determine the continent’s future, too.”

The Botany of Empire in the
Long Eighteenth Century
Edited by Yota Batsaki • Sarah Burke Cahalan • Anatole Tchikine

The Botany of Empire in the Long Eighteenth Century brings

together an international body of scholars to examine the figure
of the botanical explorer; links between imperial ambition and
the impulse to survey, map, and collect specimens in “new”
territories; and relationships among botanical knowledge, self-
representation, and material culture.

The New Testament in Byzantium draws on the current state of

 The Future of the Past
New Perspectives on Ukrainian History
Edited by Serhii Plokhy

Ukraine is in the midst of the worst international crisis in East–West

relations since the Cold War, and history itself has become a battle-
ground in Russia–Ukraine relations. The Future of the Past shows how
the study of Ukraine’s past enhances our understanding of Europe,
Eurasia, and the world—past, present, and future.

Peasants, Power, and Place

Revolution in the Villages of Kharkiv Province, 1914–1921
Mark R. Baker

Mark R. Baker focuses on Ukrainian-speaking peasants during

the 1914–1921 revolutionary period. Arguing that the peasants of
Kharkiv province thought of themselves primarily as members
of their particular village communities, and not as members of
any nation or class, he advances the historiography beyond the
ideologized categories of the Cold War.

The Battle for Ukrainian

A Comparative Perspective
Edited by Michael S. Flier • Andrea Graziosi • Lubomyr A. Hajda

The Ukrainian language has followed a tortuous path over 150 years
of tsarist, Soviet, and post-Soviet history. The Battle for Ukrainian
documents that path, and serves as an interdisciplinary study
essential for understanding language, history, and politics in both
Ukraine and the postimperial world.

The Taming of
Free Speech
America’s Civil Liberties
Compromise
Laura Weinrib
“Utterly brilliant…Balanced and
restrained in her writing but original
and subversive in her argument,
Weinrib stops short of offering
morals from this history…Most
important, Weinrib reanimates a
strange time when the forces of
business and the forces of labor
were engaged in a pitched battle
about the way Americans should
construct their economy. When you
go looking for the origins of civil
libertarianism, it turns out, you find
a class struggle…Weinrib’s book is
an extraordinary reminder of why
history matters to the present.”
—Samuel Moyn, Wall Street Journal
“The Taming of Free Speech is…a
complex story about the evolution
