Douglas Haig, 1861-1928
For seventy years Douglas Haig had been portrayed on the one hand as the ‘Butcher of the Somme’ – inept, insensitive and archaic; and on the other as the ‘Saviour of Britain’ – noble, unselfish and heroic.

The middle ground in the Haig debate had been as…
Student Protest
This topical new study takes a new look at the causes, course and consequences of student activism across the world since its heyday in the 1960s. It starts with analyses of some of the most familiar - and romanticised - Sixties protests themselves, in the US, France, Germany, Mexico and Great Britain. It then goes on to examine more recent, and hazardous, examples of student activism, particularly in China, Korea and Iran. Throughout, the tone i…

This article demonstrates how Ronald Reagan's 1966 campaign for governor broke the mould of California politics in a way which continues to have resonance for present‐day American politics. The team behind Reagan used sophisticated and very modern campaign techniques which concentrated upon establishing the best possible image for Reagan. Behavioural scientists were hired to study public opinion and to coach Reagan on the issues which would inspi…
