In late eighteenth-century Britain a handful of men brought about the greatest transformation in human history. Inventors industrialists & entrepreneurs ushered in the age of powered machinery & the factory & thereby changed the whole of human society bringing into being new methods of social & economic organisation new social classes & new political forces. The Industrial Revolution also dramatically altered humanity's relation to the natural world & embedded the belief that change not stasis is the necessary backdrop for human existence. Iron Steam & Money" tells the thrilling story of those few decades the moments of inspiration the rivalries skulduggery & death threats & the tireless perseverance of the visionaries who made it all happen. Richard Arkwright James Watt Richard Trevithick & Josiah Wedgwood are among the giants whose achievements & tragedies fill these pages. In this authoritative study Roger Osborne also shows how & why the revolution happened revealing pre-industrial Britain as a surprisingly affluent society with wealth spread widely through the population & with craft industries in every town village & front parlour. The combination of disposable income widespread demand for industrial goods & a generation of time-served artisans created the unique conditions that propelled humanity into the modern world. The industrial revolution was arguably the most important episode in modern human history; " Iron Steam & Money" reminds us of its central role while showing the extraordinary excitement of those tumultuous decades." ...

From Anne Applebaum the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Gulag" comes a major new work of historical & moral reckoning: the story of life behind the " Iron Curtain". Once the Nazis were defeated in 1945 the people of Central & Eastern Europe expected to recover the lives they had led before 1939. Instead they found themselves subjected to a tyranny that was in many ways as inhuman as the one which they had just escaped. This book explains how Communism was imposed on these previously free societies in the decade after the end of the Second World War. Applebaum describes in calm but devastating detail how political parties the church the media young peoples organisations
- the institutions of civil society on every level
- were all quickly eviscerated. Ranging widely across new archival material & many sources unknown in English she follows the communists tactics as they bullied threatened & murdered their way to power. She also chronicles individual lives to show the rapid choices people had to make
- to fight to flee or to collaborate. Within a remarkably short period after the end of the war Eastern Europe had been ruthlessly Stalinised. " Iron Curtain" is a brilliant history of a brutal period in European history but also a reminder of how fragile free societies are & how vulnerable they can be to the predations of determined & unscrupulous enemies."
