Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a gripping exploration of the 'sister service' relationship between the Royal Navy and the British mercantile marine in World War One. Historian Rosslyn Wemyss argues that this relationship â" born of desperate wartime necessity, and characterised by gallantry and sacrifice from both services â" held the promise of continuing beyond the conflict. However, the book questions whether the government's post-war policies, reinstating mercantile marine autonomy at the expense of the Royal Navy's influence and support, were detrimental to both services. The book offers an important perspective on naval history and will fascinate anyone interested in the Royal Navy or the British merchant marine.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the history of Transvaal, South Africa's Liquor Laws. It particularly reviews sixteen years of prohibition laws that have, to a large extent, failed to prevent a thriving black market for alcohol. The book provides conclusive evidence of the illicit sale of alcohol in spite of stringent deterrents and punitive measures, including prison sentences. Looking at the social and cultural history of this law in South Africa, the author suggests the country is not yet ready to consider complete prohibition for all people, but that the current ban on alcohol sales to non-whites has proven ineffective and has led to severe social ills. The book's insights into how laws and crime often operate at odds with one another will be of significant interest to scholars of law, criminology, and social history.
