Book Description
Based on the oral testimony of almost forty informants, this text describes the cultural traditions of the loggers, construction workers, and other skilled tradesmen and their families who emigrated from northern Sweden in the early twentieth century to take up farming in what has since become the municipality of Eriksdale, Manitoba. Particular emphasis is placed upon an examination of the ways in which these customs were adapted to conform to a variety of historical, social, and economic influences.

Book Description
Insurgencies, especially in the form of guerrilla warfare, continue to erupt across many parts of the globe. Most of these rebellions fail, but Four Rebellions that Shaped Our World analyzes four twentieth-century conflicts in which the success of the insurgents permanently altered the global political arena: the Maoists in China against Chiang Kai-shek and the Japanese in the 1930s and 1940s; the Viet Minh in French Indochina from 1945 to 1954; CastroÕs followers against Batista in Cuba from 1956 to 1959; and the mujahideen in Soviet Afghanistan from 1980 to 1989. Anthony James Joes illuminates patterns of failed counterinsurgencies that include serious but avoidable political and military blunders and makes clear the critical and often decisive influence of the international setting. Offering provocative insights and timeless lessons applicable to contemporary conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, this authoritative and comprehensive book will be of great interest to policy-makers and concerned citizens alike.
