Soft cover. Condición: Very Good. 1st Edition. 297-322 pages with figures and cited references. Quarto (11" x 8 1/4") bound in original publisher's wrappers. Current Anthropology Volume 39, Volume 3 complete issue. First edition. An underappreciated feature of complex societies is the production and consumption of alcoholic beverages, in particular wines and beers. A variety of data are reviewed which suggest significant expansion of alcoholic beverage production and consumption in many areas of Western Asia during the 4th and 3d millennia B.C. Production of beverages formed part of the processes by which emerging elites expanded control over craft production, established symbols, created manipulable surpluses, and renegotiated gender roles. Consumption of beverages was an important element of nutrition, ritual, and political economy in the early societies of Mesopotamia, Egypt, Syria, and the Levant. Review of evidence from the Aegean indicates similar processes at work but with emphasis on competitive feasting and hospitality. These different uses of alcoholic beverages represent significant regularities in the emergence of social complexity and the rise of the state. Condition: Corners bumped, rubbed and creased, light edge wear else very good.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Shortlisted for the 2021 Society for Army Historical Research's Templer MedalOperation Crusader, launched in November 1941, was the third and final British attempt to relieve the siege of Tobruk and break the German and Italian forces in North Africa. After tough initial fighting, the British made important gains, only to be countered by a stunning breakthrough overseen personally by Lt. General Erwin Rommel. As the British situation teetered, the commander of the 8th Army, Lt. General Alan Cunningham, was relieved of duty by his superior, General Claude Auchinleck. This decision changed the direction of the battle and perhaps the war itself. Why and how Cunningham was relieved has been the subject of commentary and speculation since it occurred. Using newly discovered evidence, Alexander Joffe rethinks the events that brought about the sudden relief of the operations commanding officer, including insubordination. The book then discusses how narratives regarding the operation were created, were incorporated into British and Commonwealth official and unofficial historical writing about the war, and contributed to British historical memory. Based on a decade of archival work, the book presents a new and detailed analysis of a consequential battle and, importantly, of how its history was written and received in the context of post-war Britain.
