Between 1980 and World War II, South America experienced the unsettling first stages of modernization. During this half-century of economic, political, and social change, the armies of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Peru underwent a process of professionalization as European military missions transformed their officer corps into copies of French and German officialdom. In so doing, European officers inculcated their ideals and values, thought and self-perception?their professionalism?in countries historically vulnerable to militarism. ø Based mainly on a comprehensive examination of European and South American military literature, this study describes the significant contribution of European military professionalism to South American professional militarism. Nunn not only details the workings of the French missions in Brazil and Peru and the German missions in Argentina and Chile, but gives great emphasis to the themes and topics that most concerned the European mentors and their overseas disciples. He demonstrates convincingly that much of their professional literature was based on a yearning for an idealized past, discontent with an unsatisfactory present, and apprehension about a future that might threaten the most cherished of traditional officer-corps principles and aims. ø The study ends with World War II, yet is makes an important contribution to our understanding of South American history since 1940. The military organizations of the four countries considered here confronted what they perceived to be the major problems of their modernizing nations with solutions learned from their European teachers. Since 1940, they have resorted to golpes de estado?most notably the post-1964 institutional golpes?in order to impose forcibly some of those same solutions. Thus, despite increased U.S. influence, many of the programs implemented by military regimes in the latter half of this century bear the indelible stamp of "yesterday's soldiers."

This fast-paced science fiction action adventure follows the exploits of a team of special operatives, starting with one very unusual mission. "There are only two ways to live in this city. You can take the smart road, stay a civilian, follow all the rules, do what you're told. Every day will be the same, from the day you're born until the day you die. By the time Death comes for you, you'll greet him with a heartier handshake than you accord your neighbors. Or you can join us. You'll still follow all the rules and do what you're told. You will die young, make no mistake about it. But you will truly live before you die." Kit had never doubted her choice to join the ORG and become an elite operative, responsible for keeping the citizenry of the city in line. Everything she had done had been for the food of the city, as judged by the will of the Congress, and she had been following orders. Until this mission. This mission was different. It made Kit mistrust everything she had ever believed in and set her on a path she had never imagined, leading her and her teammates to explore the forbidden past, to challenge their idea of the future, and finally to question the very nature of reality itself.

Yesterday's Soldier chronicles my journey as a young man, thrust from the world of religious life in a Massachusetts Roman Catholic seminary to the US Army, training to be an Infantry Officer during the Vietnam War. I entered religious life in the Congregation of Holy Cross in Massachusetts in 1963 with the intent of being ordained a priest. I lived in a strict male religious community very much like a monastery. Upon graduating from college there, Father Superior decided that I had only a "partial vocation," and released me from my vows and further advancement to ordination. This memoir shares my experiences in the US Army, from basic combat training to infantry advanced training to Infantry Officer Candidate school. It was at Officers Candidate School where I faced the hardest decision of my life to make--to become a non-combatant conscientious objector, risking the Army's punishment and imprisonment for that decision. Surviving the Army's systematic punishment ("the Treatment") during the long months of waiting for a decision in my case, I defied the will of my family, the demands of my church, and faced criminal charges by the US Army. Eventually, I was sent to Vietnam as a Conscientious Objector, where I dealt with more Army discrimination, the hazards of war, and connecting with the Vietnamese people.

How international is international humanitarian law? The Laws of Yesterday's Wars 2: From Ancient India to East Africa, together with its companion volume, The Laws of Yesterday’s Wars: From Indigenous Australians to the American Civil War (Brill-Nijhoff, 2021), attempts to answer that question. It offers a culture-by-culture account of various unique restrictions placed on warfare over time. Containing essays by a range of laws of war academics and practitioners, it approaches the laws of yesterday’s wars from a wide cross-section of history and culture, seeking to find any common ground and to demonstrate a history of international law outside the usual confines of its ‘development’ by Europeans and its later ‘contributions.’ This volume includes studies on Japanese, Islamic and Eastern Native American rules of war.

From his cage in a putrid, overcrowded Indian gaol, Paul Jordan reflects on a life lived on the edge and curses the miscalculation that robbed him of his freedom. His childhood, marred by the loss of his father and brother, produces a young man hell bent on being the best of the best – an ambition he achieves by being selected to join the elite SAS. He survives the gut-wrenching training regime, deployment to the jungles of Asia and the horrors of genocide in Rwanda before leaving the army to embark on a career as a security adviser. His new life sees him pursuing criminals and gun-toting bandits in Papua New Guinea and the Solomons, protecting CNN newsmen as the US 7th Cavalry storms into Baghdad with the outbreak of the Iraq War, and facing death on a massive scale as he accompanies reporters into the devastated Indonesian town of Banda Ache, flattened by the Boxing Day tsunami. During his 24 days in an Indian gaol, Paul Jordan discovers that friendship and human dignity somehow survive the filth and deprivation. The Easy Day was Yesterday is fast paced, brutally honest, raw and laced with dark humour. The core of Paul Jordan's eventful life it is the ability of the human spirit to survive even in the direst adversity.
