History of War is a brand new monthly history magazine with a clear focus on the conflicts, campaigns and battles that have shaped the world we live in today. Launching in the centenary year of World War I, it examines the history of military struggle and might since the dawn of civilisation. Covering the politics, mechanics, strategies and machines of war, it brings this dramatic aspect of history to life. It will feature the stories of great commanders, soldiers and those operating behind the scenes providing assistance to the men fighting on the front.
Throwing fresh light on a much discussed but still controversial field, this collection of essays places the presence of Italian literary theories against and alongside the background of English dramatic traditions, to assess this influence in the emergence of Elizabethan theatrical convention and the innovative dramatic practices under the early Stuarts.
After discussing the structuralism, post structuralism, Marxist, queer and feminist theories of dramatic action and dramaturgical development, the author posits an ontological (and refreshing) vision of Shakespearian stagecraft and dramatic movement. Shakespeare is seen as an actor and Roman Catholic, an outsider in an early modern Protestant state in the process of dynamic cultural, economic reform and political repression. These themes are reflected in the unsettled, morally ambiguous characterizations that Professor Crosman studies: Hamlet, Polonius, McBeth, Henry V and Falstaff among others.

Britain 's Special Intelligence Service, commonly called MI6, is not only the oldest and most storied foreign intelligence unit in the world-it is also the only one to open its archives to an outside researcher. The result, in this authorized history, is an unprecedented and revelatory look at an organization that essentially created, over the course of two world wars, the modern craft of spying. Examining innovations from invisible ink and industrial-scale cryptography to dramatic setbacks like the Nazi sting operations to bag British operatives, this groundbreaking history is as engrossing as any thriller-and much more revealing
