| Enslavement in Safavid Iran was justified by religion rather than ethnicity, as in the West, and the process of slavery led to conversion to Islam and manumission: former slaves could attain the rank of general, governor, vizier or sultan. This study of royal household slaves in Iran during the first half of the 17th century, a period when slaves from the Caucasus dominated Safavid politics, | ||||

The Sabres of Paradise | |||
| Conquest and Vengeance in the Caucasus | History | |||
| Lesley Blanch | ||||
| Tauris Parke 2006 496 pages | ||||
| Paperback 1850434034 | ||||
| Published Price £12.99 | Our Price £4.99 | |||
| Throughout history the Causacus region has been characterized by violence and turmoil. During the Great Caucasus War of 1834-1859, the warring mountain tribes of Daghestan and Chechnya united under the charismatic leadership of the Muslim chieftain Imam Shamyl, the 'Lion of Daghestan'. For 25 years his disparate band of guerillas held at bay the might of Russia. Lesley Blanch vividly recounts the epic story of this heroic struggle and the life of a man still legendary in the Caucasus. | ||||

| IB Tauris 2002 236 pages | ||||
| Hardback Illustrated 1860648290 | ||||
| Published Price £35.00 | Our Price £7.99 | |||
| Once in the hands of Mary's enemies, the Casket Letters led directly to her imprisonment and execution. The eight letters, twelve love sonnets and two marriage contracts, allegedly written by Mary to Bothwell, later her third husband, appeared to implicate her in the murder of her second husband, Darnley, and to prove her adultery. MacRobert offers a rigorous re-examination of the Casket Letters and events surrounding them, clarifying one of the most controversial episodes in Scottish history. | ||||

Union and Empire | |||
| The Making of the United Kingdom in 1707 | History | |||
| Allan I MacInnes | ||||
| Cambridge University Press 2007 382 pages | ||||
| Paperback 0521616301 | ||||
| Published Price £19.99 | Our Price £9.99 | |||
| Allan Macinnes offers a major new interpretation of the making of the United Kingdon that sets the Act of Union within a broad European and colonial context and provides a comprehensive picture of its transatlantic and transoceanic ramifications, in politics and in trade. He re-examines both English and Scottish motivations and shows that, rather than an act of statesmanship, the Treaty of Union was the outcome of politically inept negotiations by the Scots. | ||||

| In a Marxist history that explores the events between the death of Oliver Cromwell and the Restoration of the monarchy, Brian Manning shows that the Restoration was by no means inevitable after Cromwell's death. He describes in detail the political battles fought over the future of Britain, and the activities of ordinary groups of people, some of whom would not give up the struggle for a democratic republic. | ||||
