The Deluge
Author: Kennedy Trevaskis
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1786735784
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 360
Book Description
Sir Kennedy Trevaskis was the last High Commissioner of South Arabia - a role he held from 1963-1965, which provided the pinnacle of his career and yet also his ultimate failure. Trevaskis's imperial credentials were impeccable. He was a District Officer in Northern Rhodesia, followed by service in the Rhodesian Regiment in World War II, District Commissioner in the British Administered Eritrea after Italy's defeat, and finally High Commissioner in South Arabia and Aden colony. But here the British ambition to set up the Federation of South Arabia with Aden was ultimately frustrated by the rise of Arab nationalism and the British Labour government's decision to withdraw `East of Suez'. The Deluge is the memoir of a glittering career ending in ultimate failure and ignominy, but full of incident, humour and irreverence. Published for the first time, and with an extensive introduction by Wm. Roger Louis, this unique account sheds significant light on British foreign and imperial policy in the post-war era and particularly the end of empire in the Middle East.

ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 191
Book Description
I got her back. But we’re facing a whole new set of dramas at this point. And she’s figured out a few things about herself—like power. She’s got major power, and I ain’t just talking about her ability to attract anything with a pulse. All is fine and dandy until I’m forced to turn around and face my past. A past I decided to destroy in my mind a long time ago. But the truth will set you free, right? Yeah, if it doesn’t decimate your friendships and strip your very soul from you body first. At least we’ve got each other. Until we don’t. The world hangs in the balance and we’re up to bat. Some of us are gonna make it, and some will have to take the honor of sacrificing our lives. The night just keeps getting darker and darker. Like this will never end. But as soon as desperation hits, up comes the sun.

Rethinking Horror in the New Economies of Television
Author: Stella Marie Gaynor
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030975894
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 267
Book Description
This book explores the cycle of horror on US television in the decade following the launch of The Walking Dead, considering the horror genre from an industrial perspective. Examining TV horror through rich industrial and textual analysis, this book reveals the strategies and ambitions of cable and network channels, as well as Netflix and Shudder, with regards to horror serialization. Selected case studies; including American Horror Story, The Haunting of Hill House, Creepshow, Ash vs Evil Dead, and Hannibal; explore horror drama and the utilization of genre, cult and classic horror texts, as well as the exploitation of fan practice, in the changing economic landscape of contemporary US television. In the first detailed exploration of graphic horror special effects as a marker of technical excellence, and how these skills are used for the promotion of TV horror drama, Gaynor makes the case that horror has become a cornerstone of US television.
