Summary

Winston Churchill's 'The Story of the Malakand Field Force' is a gripping and insightful account of the military campaign in the Malakand region of British India. Written in a clear and engaging style, Churchill's detailed narrative brings to life the challenges faced by the British army in the rugged terrain of the Northwest Frontier. This work not only serves as a historical record but also provides valuable insights into the complexities of colonial warfare in the late 19th century. Churchill's vivid descriptions and analysis make this book a valuable source for military historians and political scholars alike. Winston Churchill, a distinguished statesman and writer, drew upon his own experiences as a young soldier serving in the regiment he writes about in 'The Story of the Malakand Field Force'. His firsthand knowledge of military strategy and his keen observations shine through in this work, reflecting his deep understanding of the intricacies of war and diplomacy. I highly recommend 'The Story of the Malakand Field Force' to readers interested in military history, colonial politics, and the writings of Winston Churchill. This unabridged edition is essential reading for anyone seeking a comprehensive understanding of Churchill's early career and the challenges of British imperialism in South Asia.

Living Room Revolution - A...

Cecile Andrews

The author of The Circle of Simplicity “joyfully invites us to discover a robust and real personal expansion with each other as we remake our society” (Mark Lakeman, cofounder, The City Repair Project).

Every man for himself! For too long we have lived in a competitive, consumer-oriented culture, destroying the well-being of people and the planet. We believe that money brings happiness, yet all too often, the opposite is true. The pursuit of wealth at any cost corrupts our values and diminishes our lives. The resulting inequality breaks down social cohesion and generates envy, bitterness, and resentment. Greed breeds more greed.

Living Room Revolution refutes the notion that selfishness is at the root of human nature. Research shows that people—given the right circumstances—can be caring, nurturing and collaborative. Presented with the opportunity, they gravitate toward actions and policies embodying empathy, fairness, and trust instead of competition, fear, and greed. The regeneration of social ties and the sense of caring and purpose that comes from creating community drive this essential transformation.

At the heart of this movement is the ancient art of conversation. Living Room Revolution provides a practical toolkit of concrete strategies to facilitate personal and social change by bringing people together in community and conversation.

The heart of happiness is joining with others in good talk and laughter. Each person can make a difference, and it can all start in your own living room!

“Small groups. Study circles. Stop ’n chats. House parties. Movie nights. Online sharing. Bring people together, and you never know what kind of fuse you’ll ignite for change.” —Wanda Urbanska, author of The Heart of Simple Living
