Book excerpt: National Cleansing examines the prosecution of more than one-hundred thousand suspected war criminals and collaborators by Czech courts and tribunals after the Second World War. As the first comprehensive history of postwar Czech retribution, this book provides a new perspective on Czechoslovakia's transition from Nazi occupation to Stalinist rule in the turbulent decade from the Munich Pact of September 1938 to the Communist coup d'état of February 1948. Based on archival sources that remained inaccessible during the Cold War, National Cleansing demonstrates retribution's central role in the postwar power struggle and the contemporary expulsion of the Sudeten Germans.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the untold story about the one who was once the embodiment of perfection, born of the light and praised by it and yet so sinful and rebellious. It’s the story of one who's been neglected and forgotten and now seeks to be whole once again with its other. This is a story about a father who is filled with so much shining pride that it blinds him from seeing the darkness stained truth sitting under his very nose. It’s a story about the first war as well as the first sin, told from the perspectives of those who were there to witness it. See how one person’s cause created a ripple which affected so many things. You may think you know the story but sometimes a story is only as truthful as the mouth of the one who tells it, in this case, not from the mouth of the one whose story we follow, but rather from the mouth of another.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anglo-Saxon authorities often punished lawbreakers with harsh corporal penalties, such as execution, mutilation and imprisonment. Despite their severity, however, these penalties were not arbitrary exercises of power. Rather, they were informed by nuanced philosophies of punishment which sought to resolve conflict, keep the peace and enforce Christian morality. The ten essays in this volume engage legal, literary, historical, and archaeological evidence to investigate the role of punishment in Anglo-Saxon society. Three dominant themes emerge in the collection. First is the shift from a culture of retributive feud to a system of top-down punishment, in which penalties were imposed by an authority figure responsible for keeping the peace. Second is the use of spectacular punishment to enhance royal standing, as Anglo-Saxon kings sought to centralize and legitimize their power. Third is the intersection of secular punishment and penitential practice, as Christian authorities tempered penalties for material crime with concern for the souls of the condemned. Together, these studies demonstrate that in Anglo-Saxon England, capital and corporal punishments were considered necessary, legitimate, and righteous methods of social control.
