Book Description
The book scrutinizes post-war rat control programs in Poland, exploring their intricate intersections with politics, science, and ideology. It delves into the impact of prevailing cultural narratives concerning problematic urban rodents on pest control and sanitary programs, as well as the ways in which biological factors shape, challenge, or impede political modernization initiatives. Employing urban rat populations as an unequivocal exemplar of an undesirable element, the author constructs an inquiry into the strategies of political exclusion. The analysis of rat extermination schemes facilitates an exploration of the patterns of social progress within a semi-peripheral country and the discursive shifts evident in political language regarding the troublesome non-human urban residents.

Book Description
Over the twentieth century 35,000 Australians suffered as prisoners of war in conflicts ranging from World War I to Korea. What was the reality of their captivity? Beyond Surrender presents for the first time the diversity of the Australian 'behind-the-wire' experience, dissecting fact from fiction and myth from reality. Beyond Surrender examines the impact that different types of camps, commandants and locations had on surrender, survival, prison life and the prospects of escape. It considers the attitudes of Australian governments to those who had surrendered, the work of relief agencies and the agony of families waiting at home for their husbands, brothers and fathers to be freed. Covering several conflicts and diverse sites of captivity, Beyond Surrender showcases new research from Kate Ariotti, Joan Beaumont, Lachlan Grant, Jeffrey Grey, Karl James, Jennifer Lawless, Peter Monteath, Melanie Oppenheimer, Aaron Pegram, Lucy Robertson, Seumas Spark and Christina Twomey.

Book Description
A detailed and highly illustrated account of the Polish II Corps' (or 'Anders Army') perilous journey to fight side by side with Allied forces at the height of World War II. Following the conquest of Poland by Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union in 1939, hundreds of thousands of Polish families were torn from their homes and sent eastwards to the arctic wastes of Siberia. Prisoners of war, refugees, those regarded as 'social criminals' by Stalin's regime, and those rounded up by sheer chance were all sent 'to see the Great White Bear'. However, with Hitler's invasion of the Soviet Union in Operation Barbarossa just two years later, Russia and the Allied powers found themselves on the same side once more. Turning to those that it had previously deemed 'undesirable', Russia sought to raise a Polish army from the men, women and children that it had imprisoned within its labour camps. In this remarkable work, renowned historian Professor Norman Davies draws from years of meticulous research to recount the compelling story of this unit, the Polish II Corps or 'Anders Army', and their exceptional journey from the Gulag of Siberia through Iran, the Middle East and North Africa to the battlefields of Italy to fight shoulder-to-shoulder with Allied forces. Complete with previously unpublished photographs and first-hand accounts from the men and women who lived through it, this is a unique visual and written record of one of the most fascinating episodes of World War II.

Book Description
THIS is the personal record of nine months spent as a medical officer on active service in Libya. Its purpose is to endeavour to show what a great warrior the ordinary Australian soldier really is, and with what light-hearted bravery and endurance he faces up to discomfort and death. It is written as a personal record to gain continuity, and always in the spirit of an onlooker who sees much of the play. It is neither a scientific document nor history, and I cannot vouch for the accuracy of many of the stories set down herein, but even if they are not wholly true, they are still characteristic. No names are included, and it is purely coincidental that most of the happenings herein described are fact and not fiction. Some of the illustrations are taken from drawings and oil sketches made by the author on the spot, and the remainder are photographs taken with a miniature camera and developed in Tobruk. “Major Devine’s little volume of personal experiences brings the whole picture of the dust and desert, of stone and rock, of battered equipment, of patient endurance, back before one’s eyes. It translates into human individual terms all the planning and endeavour and struggle that characterized the splendid defence of Tobruk by our own 9th Australian Division and by other British troops from the United Kingdom and troops from India who were there with them in that epic siege.”—T. A. Blamey General, Commander-in-Chief, Australian Military Forces (Foreword to “The Rats of Tobruk”)
