The Smell of Slavery Olfactory Racism and the Atlantic World Andrew Kettler | University of California, Los Angeles

Mark Edward Ruff | St Louis University, Missouri

West Germany, 1968–1984 Joachim C. Häberlen | University of Warwick

This study of the 1930s German-Japanese alliance employs sources in both languages to reveal the role of mass media in shaping and promoting an ideology which, by creating a niche for Japan in the Nazi worldview, convinced German Nazis to identify with non-Aryans and non-Germans to become adherents of Hitler.

The Origins of the British Empire in Asia, 1600–1750 David Veevers | Queen Mary University of London

This is a revisionist account of the origins of the British Empire in Asia in the early modern period.

David Veevers shows that it was the integration of Europeans into non-European economies, states and societies which was central to British imperial and commercial success rather than national or mercantilist enterprise.

The Practice of Slavery in Global Perspective Noel Lenski | Yale University, Connecticut

The Unknown Enemy

War’s Logic

Counterinsurgency and the Illusion of Control Christian Tripodi | King’s College London

Strategic Thought and the American Way of War Antulio J. Echevarria II

Western counterinsurgency doctrine proposes that improved socio-cultural understanding enables a greater chance of success in counterinsurgency warfare. Tripodi illustrates that in fact it often leads to the reverse. The Unknown Enemy illustrates how the drive for such knowledge results not in better outcomes but in a costly illusion of control.

• Considers how attempts to better understand the sociocultural surrounds of the operating environment can influence counterinsurgency and stabilisation operations • Utilizes a mixture of historical and theoretical analysis to examine why certain types of military operation fail • Draws upon a range of in-depth case studies from different eras of warfare to highlight recurring behaviours and outcomes across time

Antulio J. Echevarria II reveals how successive generations of American strategic theorists have thought about war. Analyzing the work of twelve leading theorists, he uncovers the logic that underpinned each theorist’s critical concepts, core principles, and basic assumptions about the nature and character of war.

• Describes the paradigms that underpinned how leading twentiethcentury American strategic theorists thought about war • Illustrates the relationship between a theorist’s core strategic principles and the nature of war • Situates American strategic thinking within its critical sociocultural contexts
