Using previously untapped sources from Comitern and French intelligence archives, it examines Ho's life in the light of two interconnecting themes - the origins and institutional development of the Indochinese Communist Party - ICP - and the impact on early Vietnamese communism of political developments in China and the Soviet Union ... Of special interest is the treatment of the impact on Vietnamese communism of the Guomindang and the Nanyang Committee of the CCP ... She also highlights the importance of Ho's family, and regional ties, in his efforts to maintain his influence within the ICP .. From the growing body of evidence now available, she creates the foundation for a historical portrait of Ho Chi Minh ... which marks a clear departure from the myths of left and right which have in the past been substitutes for biographies ...

	REES, SIAN / JOHN NICOL / SARAH WHITELAM Floating Brothel, the - the Extraordinary True Story of the 18th Century Lady Julian and Her Cargo of Female Convicts London: Headline Pub, 2001. 2001 Later Printing. Hard Cover in Dust Jacket. Photos. 6-1/2 x 9-1/2 " 0747272867 2001 Hardcover in DJ , later printing ... Brand new from publisher ... Never opened, Never owned ... feltpen mark bottom edge ... Jacket protected in New non-stick clear mylar sleeve ... Gift Giving quality ... 248 pages ... illustrated with 8 pages of glossy B&W photographs ... In July 1789 , a ship of 237 women convicts left England for Botany Bay in New South Wales ... on board the ship called the Lady Julian, destined to provide sexual services and a breeding bank for the men already there ... This is the enthralling story of this extraordinary group of women and their voyage halfway around the world ... Based on exhaustive and painstaking research into contemporary sources such as letters, trial records ... most of the women on board were petty thieves ... and the first-hand account of the voyage written by the ship's steward, John Nicol, this is a riveting work of recovered history ... At its heart lies the passionate relationship of Nicol and the convict Sarah Whitelam, and in telling this story Sian Rees book brings the vibrant, bawdy world of London towards the end of the 18th century vividly to life ... The Floating Brothel brilliantly conjures up the sights, sounds, and particularly the smells on board ship at the time and is populated by a cast of larger-than-life characters you will never forget ... One year later, the ship arrived, its cargo augmented by a number of infants born along the route to the "wives" of her officers and crew. But when it finally dropped anchor, the Lady Julian proved something of a disappointment to the half-starved colonists, who had been hoping more for food than for recreation. The colony was eventually resupplied with food, and these women, salvaged from jails and saved from the gallows, survived and occasionally prospered. Rees descends from a Cornish shipbuilding family and, in her first book, marvelously evokes the sounds and sights of a ship under sail. She is just as good ashore, where her meticulous scholarship vividly re-creates the social conditions of late-18th-century England that produced both the criminal activities of her subjects and the terms of their punishment ..."

In this fascinating book, Brother Paul recounts short stories, tall stories, happy stories ; true stories ... which link together 3/4 of a century of the work of the members of the Bush Brotherhood in their native habitat - the Australian Bush. Here is the true story of the Brotherhood movement which began as an Anglican mission to the far west of Central Queensland in 1897 , and then spread to 4 Australian states - New South Wales, Victoria , Western Australia , and South Australia ...

Desdemona, who drank like a fish ... the 'red' Brother ...

Bush Brothers have become as unique to Australia as wombats and wallabies ... With a sense of fun and adventure , as well as an art of dedication , they have found that in serving God and the bush people, they have often received far more friendship and loyalty from the ' bushies ' than they have given ... This book is a history of all the Bush Brotherhoods that have existed within the Anglican Church in Australia , until 1978 ... an outstanding record of achievement and of joyful service ... The Rev. Webb served in the Royal Air Force from 1950 to 1955 , attended Ely Theological College from 55 to 58, and was ordained a deacon in 1958 ...

Dr. Peter Zinoman, author of The Colonial Bastille, says of this book, that it is ' a thoroughly researched and elegantly written account of what is arguably the most important topic in modern Vietnamese political history .... her sources allow her to present a vivid nuanced portrait of Ho Chi Minh , and to unravel the complex interplay of domestic and international forces that shaped the historical emergence and development of Vietnamese Communisim ' ...

Using previously untapped sources from Comitern and French intelligence archives, it examines Ho's life in the light of two interconnecting themes - the origins and institutional development of the Indochinese Communist Party - ICP - and the impact on early Vietnamese communism of political developments in China and the Soviet Union ... Of special interest is the treatment of the impact on Vietnamese communism of the Guomindang and the Nanyang Committee of the CCP ... She also highlights the importance of Ho's family, and regional ties, in his efforts to maintain his influence within the ICP .. From the growing body of evidence now available, she creates the foundation for a historical portrait of Ho Chi Minh ... which marks a clear departure from the myths of left and right which have in the past been substitutes for biographies ...

Jacket protected in New non-stick clear mylar sleeve ... Gift Giving quality ... 248 pages ... illustrated with 8 pages of glossy B&W photographs ... In July 1789 , a ship of 237 women convicts left England for Botany Bay in New South Wales ... on board the ship called the Lady Julian, destined to provide sexual services and a breeding bank for the men already there ... This is the enthralling story of this extraordinary group of women and their voyage halfway around the world ... Based on exhaustive and painstaking research into contemporary sources such as letters, trial records ... most of the women on board were petty thieves ... and the first-hand account of the voyage written by the ship's steward, John Nicol, this is a riveting work of recovered history ... At its heart lies the passionate relationship of Nicol and the convict Sarah Whitelam, and in telling this story Sian Rees book brings the vibrant, bawdy world of London towards the end of the 18th century vividly to life ... The Floating Brothel brilliantly conjures up the sights, sounds, and particularly the smells on board ship at the time and is populated by a cast of larger-than-life characters you will never forget ... One year later, the ship arrived, its cargo augmented by a number of infants born along the route to the "wives" of her officers and crew. But when it finally dropped anchor, the Lady Julian proved something of a disappointment to the half-starved colonists, who had been hoping more for food than for recreation. The colony was eventually resupplied with food, and these women, salvaged from jails and saved from the gallows, survived and occasionally prospered. Rees descends from a Cornish shipbuilding family and, in her first book, marvelously evokes the sounds and sights of a ship under sail. She is just as good ashore, where her meticulous scholarship vividly re-creates the social conditions of late-18th-century England that produced both the criminal activities of her subjects and the terms of their punishment ..."

The Reverend R.A.F. Webb , Brother Paul ... was born in England in 1932 ... In this fascinating book, Brother Paul recounts short stories, tall stories, happy stories ; true stories ... which link together 3/4 of a century of the work of the members of the Bush Brotherhood in their native habitat - the Australian Bush. Here is the true story of the Brotherhood movement which began as an Anglican mission to the far west of Central Queensland in 1897 , and then spread to 4 Australian states - New South Wales, Victoria , Western Australia , and South Australia ... It is a movement that has provided the Anglican Church with 18 bishops ... In floods and droughts, Bush Brothers have travelled by bicycle and motor bike, by sulky and packhorse, by car, truck, plan, and on foot, to minister to shearers, stockmen, timber cutters, miners, Aboriginies, swaggies, and the ' hermits ' of the bush wo, tucked away in half-forgotten hideaways, have often had no other visitor than a Bush Brother. Here is the story of Gasping Gertie, the plane that wouldn't fly above 500 feet ... Tommy, the horse that wouldn't start until a ragtime tune was played ... Desdemona, who drank like a fish ... the 'red' Brother ... All add to the adventure of this interesting story, and all have played their part in bringing the comfort of the Gospel to the Australian outback ... Bush Brothers have become as unique to Australia as wombats and wallabies ... With a sense of fun and adventure , as well as an art of dedication , they have found that in serving God and the bush people, they have often received far more friendship and loyalty from the ' bushies ' than they have given ... This book is a history of all the Bush Brotherhoods that have existed within the Anglican Church in Australia , until 1978 ... an outstanding record of achievement and of joyful service ... The Rev. Webb served in the Royal Air Force from 1950 to 1955 , attended Ely Theological College from 55 to 58, and was ordained a deacon in 1958 ... He was priested in 1959 in Winchester Cathedral , and , after seving as curate of Holy Trinity Church, Millbrook, Southampton , from 1958 to 1960, went to Australia and was a member of the Brotherhood of the Good Shepherd from 1960 to 1974 ...
