A selection of fascinating extracts from notes and digital recordings made by Peter Hain during his twelve years serving in government, The Hain Diaries offers an invaluable insight into the workings and workers of the New Labour Cabinet. Providing a unique record of the ups and downs of ministerial life, informed and enhanced by Peter's experiences before and outside politics, the diaries form a compilation of candid and thoughtful reflections on parliament, power and problem-solving. Peter's career in government was marked by daily struggles to reconcile rival interests and individuals in bold attempts to resolve some of the most historically sensitive political issues of the time - from Iraq to Northern Ireland to Europe - and it is these events that provide the backdrop to his writings. However, although he was a figure who achieved senior office and was directly involved in key Cabinet decisions, Hain fell into neither the Blair nor Brown camps and is therefore perfectly placed to offer a rare non-sectarian perspective of New Labour in power. Serving as a brilliant complement to his memoir Outside In (Biteback Publishing), this collection documents Peter's successes and failures - as well as the lessons learned from them - and makes absorbing reading for anybody interested in a genuinely personal account of government life.

Peter Hain has always spoken his mind. So he does in this book. Here he tells his story as an outsider turned insider: anti-apartheid militant to Cabinet minister, serving twelve years in Labour's government between May 1997 and May 2010. Growing up as the son of courageous anti-apartheid South Africans, Peter Hain was first in the public eye aged fifteen, reading at the funeral of an anti-apartheid friend hanged in Pretoria. Living in exile in Britain during his late teens, he led campaigns to disrupt whites-only South African sports tours. His political notoriety resulted in two extraordinary Old Bailey trials and a letter bomb. Hain recalls his role in negotiating the historic 2007 settlement in Northern Ireland, being Britain's first-ever African born Africa Minister, and acting as a passionate advocate and deliverer of devolved government to Wales. Featuring Iraq, Mugabe, Europe, Gibraltar, blood diamonds, work alongside MI5 and MI6, and the delivery of justice for workers robbed of their pensions and compensation for sick miners, Hain's autobiography gives a fascinating insight into life near the top of the Blair and Brown governments.

The orientalist Karl Sussheim kept his Diary in Turkish - and later in Arabic - from his early years in the Ottoman Empire through the Young Turk Revolution of 1908 and after his return to Germany, through war, revolution, and the horrors of Nazi rule. This book presents selected episodes in translation from the surviving parts of Sussheim's Diary, covering the years 1908 to 1940. In its detached style it allows the reader a remarkable insight into Sussheim's family surroundings, his academic career at Munich University, and the eventful times he lived through. Flemming and Schmidt aim at providing at once an intimate impression of, and a monument to, one of the great diarists of the last century. To illuminate the issues for a broad range of readers, the selected texts from the Diary are situated against the background of contemporary events and fully annotated. "Erst die kommentierte Ubersetzung der Tagebucher gibt Sussheim sein Leben zuruck, macht aus dem Vergessenen und Unbekannten einen an allem interessierten Menschen im Wirbel des dramatischen Geschehens der ersten Halfte des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts [a] in diesem Buch entsteht ein Leben, das den Leser in den Bann zieht. Es ist die Lebensgeschichte eines genialen Autodidakten, der durch seine bedingungslose Liebe zum Orient zu einem Aussenseiter wurde." FAZ aFlemming and Schmidt have done a remarkable job and the resulting work presents a valuable historical source.o Jahrbuch fur Europaische Uberseegeschichte "There is more, much more, in this impeccably researched and translated work than can be mentioned in the space of a short review."

This little book ought to be read by Americans everywhere, both because Sergeant York is a national possession, and also because it teaches the priceless value of individual character and may warn us here in America from allowing our children, who have to use machines, from being themselves made into machines. His is the story of Sergeant Alvin C. York of Tennessee, the outstanding hero of the World War and one of the greatest individual fighters in the history of modern or legendary warfare. In the heart of the Argonne Forest on October 8, 1918, practically unassisted, he whipped an entire German machine-gun battalion, killing twenty-eight of the enemy, capturing thirty-five machine guns and with the help of a handful of doughboys bringing in one hundred and thirty-two prisoners.

Ministerial Leadership offers a practice-based account of how ministers in UK governments perform their roles and exercise leadership in their spaces of activity. Drawing on the unique Ministers Reflect archive of the Institute for Government, which is an open and growing resource of over 140 ministerial interviews at UK and devolved government levels, as well as other ministerial reflections, the book addresses the literature on ministerial life and political leadership, and develops new concepts for examining ministerial leadership in different spheres. It argues that the relationship between ministers and civil servants has changed significantly in recent decades, as ministers place greater emphasis on delivery and implementation. The book adopts a theoretically pluralist approach with the intention of offering a valuable teaching aid for existing and new courses. It will appeal to all those interested in public policy and governance.

What if you were given the opportunity to have 100% vocal freedom. An opportunity to say whatever it is that you've always wanted to say, but probably never could, or probably never WOULD, because your friends, family, associates and even your enemies would think differently of you should they know the inner workings of your 'true mind'. We try to maintain our 'facades' as best we can in life, why would we share our secrets and let strangers see 'the real us'? But, what if somehow you could? What if someone gave you a blank canvas to say anything; everything; that you've been bottling up for your entire life? What would you say to the world, about the world, if no one knew the anonymous voice speaking belonged to you? On a whim, I purchased a journal and began an experiment filled with uncertainty and personal conflict and began "The Chain Mail Diaries." Little did I know, the $8.00 investment I made into a blank book would lead me on the most unexpectedly grand adventure of my life...back then I had little faith in myself; but even less faith in the world or the other people living in it alongside me. That was then. This is now. Things have changed for me since that time in my life. Well, actually things have changed since I received my diary back after I left it abandoned in a parking lot for a chance stranger to discover and either choose, or deny, to participate in this project with me...after it had been circulated around to God knows where and was read or written in by God knows who...there it was. Mailed back to me by a phantom writer I would never meet; but that I love and appreciate and understand more than I love or appreciate or understand the majority of my own family members. "The Chain Mail Diaries" gives a very small glimpse into the hearts, lives, and inner souls of various people from all walks of life. The book didn't seek out an interview from the rich or famous or popular or trendy. It merely sought out anyone who chose to have a conversation with it for a moment before passing it along down the chain to the next 'nobody' in line. The book was ordinary. Just a standard, $8.00 journal purchased from a retail store a long, long time ago. The people who shared themselves, opened and raw and honest and bleeding upon its pages...the people made this ordinary little book something extraordinarily epic that has forever changed my views on everyone around me. It's my goal that, for those of you who choose to partake in this journey with us, it will forever change something within you as well. We all know humanity is 'lacking something'. We all understand that we 'need a change'. We're 'out of touch' with each other'. It's my hope that this book will start mending a bridge between the essence of what it means to be human; one heart and soul at a time. Namaste.

The book is a potpourri of episodes (not necessarily in chronological order) of the author's entrepreneurial journey in a cutting-edge industry, working with government organizations. Each of the episodes is a story in itself. Going through them one can get the feel of running an engineering company in the late 1990’s all the way to the current day. Though the episodes make the reader wonder at the series of misfortunes, mostly circumstantial, it is not all sad reading. There are many instances of humor which give the reader an insight into author’s mental makeup and his ability to persevere in the face of adversity to make a success of his enterprise. The lucid narration makes the stories gripping in spite of the tragic content.
