|  Produktbeschreibung (22311540): From the SS sprang a paramilitary force--a superbly trained machine in the face of war. This powerful spearhead was known as the ´´Waffen-SS. Its crack formations rolled back the Allied armies in Poland, Russia and France. By the end of the War it numbered over half a million men under arms--recruited from many different nationalities. This detailed history looks closely at both faces of the SS formations, and gives a vivid picture of the diabolical architects of the world´s most terrible private army--Adolf Hitler and Heinrich Himmler. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil1) ansehen oder für EUR 8.95 bestellen! |

Oasis Identities: Uyghur Nationalism Along China´s Silk Road (buecher.de - (Teil1)) | | Produktbeschreibung (22281661): Drawing upon fieldwork in the Xinjiang oasis of Turpan, the book assesses the factors that undermine the creation of a pan-Uyghur identity. It explains the historical and contemporary impact of such factors as the geography of the region; the fragmented visions and cross-cutting allegiances of intellectuals, peasants, and merchants; and the inability of the Uyghur elite who spearhead the nationalist movement to transcend their own provincialism, thereby endendering rival oasis identities and suberting ethnic unity. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil1) ansehen oder für EUR 25.95 bestellen! |

| | Produktbeschreibung (21797852): Privatisation has been the spearhead of the moves towards de-regulation that have characterised economic policy in the last decade. Privatisation: A Global Perspective documents the most recent developments in privatisation in some twenty five country studies. It represents the most comprehensive and detailed survey of the privatisation phenomena ever undertaken. Rather than repeating the by now well familiar cases for and against privatisation, the book focuses on specifics. The main features of each country´s privatisation programme are outlined and then particular successes and problems are highlighted. Material from developed, developing and formerly socialist countries is made available in a comparable format, and the distinguishing features of comparison and contrast, as well as broad conclusions, are presented in the concluding review by the editor. The authors include professors, ministers, public enterprise executives, practising accountants and other eminent specialists. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil1) ansehen oder für EUR 280.95 bestellen! |

India 1885-1947: The Unmaking of an Empire (buecher.de - (Teil1)) |  Produktbeschreibung (21071892): The establishment of the Indian National Congress in 1885 marked a turning point in modern South Asian history. At the time, few grasped the significance of the event, nor understood the power that its leader would come to wield. From humble beginnings, the Congress led by Gandhi would go on to spearhead India s fight for independence from British rule: in 1947 it succeeded the British Raj as the regional ruling power. Ian Copland provides both a narrative and analysis of the process by which Indians and Pakistanis emancipated themselves from the seemingly iron-clad yoke of British imperialism. In so doing, he goes to the heart of what sets modern India apart from most other countries in the region its vigorous democracy. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil1) ansehen oder für EUR 19.95 bestellen! |

The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights: The Challenges of International Protection (buecher.de - (Teil1)) |  Produktbeschreibung (21681823): Ever since its creation, the United Nations has sought to protect as well as to promote human rights. Those who campaigned for decades for the establishment of the post of High Commissioner for Human Rights did so in the hope that the High Commissioner would spearhead the efforts of the United Nations and the international community to protect those at risk or whose rights are being violated. How has the High Commissioner contributed to international protection since the establishment of the office in 1993?
This book, the first-ever written on the office since its establishment, presents the protection role of the High Commissioner. It argues that limited protection functions are carried out by the Security Council, the Secretary-General, the Commission on Human Rights and its special procedures, and the High Commissioner. However, international protection is still in its infancy and much more remains to be done to bring about a protection system that effectively anticipates and prevents gross violations, contributes to mitigation and cure, and facilitates remedies and compensation.
This is a valuable pioneering work in the area of the international protection of human rights. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil1) ansehen oder für EUR 169.95 bestellen! |

|  Produktbeschreibung (21354555): This book takes a close look at the ´´Dolphins´´ of the US Navy submarine force, it covers recruitment, training, service conditions and combat experiences, and discusses the effects of advances in torpedo technology on crew roles. The Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941 battered the surface fleet, but the submarine force escaped unharmed. It was up to the ´´Silent Service´´ to spearhead the naval war against Japan, cutting her supply routes and neutralizing her naval threat. By August 1945, US Navy submarines had made 488 war patrols. The achievements of the ´´Silent Service´´ were not without consequence - 3,500 American crewmen lost their lives. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil1) ansehen oder für EUR 17.95 bestellen! |
