University Museums and Special Collections Service 1 LC Leo University Museums and Special Collections Service LC Leo Cooper Archive The Leo Cooper Archive contains a fairly comprehensive set of records for a small publishing firm, operating for about thirty- five years who were taken over by a series of larger companies. The archive consists of over 350 archive boxes of files, manuscripts, artwork and minute books. The archive has been divided into two main categories- Editorial and Business records -with different series of archives within each category. Whilst files and artwork are not present for every book published by Leo Cooper, there are over 700 books represented (some published, some unpublished and some published by other publishers) in editorial and related files, artwork, manuscripts, proofs and review files. The editorial files include some relating to Seeley Service titles published prior to the merger.In the business records there are correspondence files, internal company files/minute books and stock/sales records. Correspondence files covering the periods where the company was bought out by other publishers provides an insight into a small publishing firm trying to stay afloat with a niche list of publications. 350+ boxes LC A Editorial and publication records Records relating to the publication of a book: manuscripts, editorial and related files (production and publicity), artwork (dust jacket, map, illustration), reveiw files, books (proofs, marked copies).

After Mussolini entered World War II on the side of Hitler, the British sent a colonel into Albania in April 1941 to help the resistance, but he was soon captured. It would not be until April 16, 1943, that two more SOE officers, Lt. Col. Neil McLean and Captain David Smiley, parachuted into northern Greece and crossed the border. Others would follow, including a former lieutenant in the Spanish Foreign Legion, Peter Kemp; Himalayan explorer Bill Tillman; and Reginald Hibbert, whose view of events in Albania in the years to come would put him bitterly at odds with his fellow SOE officers. SOE operations were hampered by woeful British ignorance about Albania. London had only a lower-level diplomatic presence there before the Italian occupation, and the main source of information had been an elderly Englishwoman who had lived there for 20 years. This paper told the story of SOE operations in Albania. Keywords.

  • THE BRITISH ARMY in the LOW COUNTRIES, 1793-1814 By
    ‘FAIRLY OUT-GENERALLED AND DISGRACEFULLY BEATEN’: THE BRITISH ARMY IN THE LOW COUNTRIES, 1793-1814 by ANDREW ROBERT LIMM A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY. University of Birmingham School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law October, 2014.

ABSTRACT The history of the British Army in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars is generally associated with stories of British military victory and the campaigns of the Duke of Wellington. An intrinsic aspect of the historiography is the argument that, following British defeat in the Low Countries in 1795, the Army was transformed by the military reforms of His Royal Highness, Frederick Duke of York. This thesis provides a critical appraisal of the reform process with reference to the organisation, structure, ethos and learning capabilities of the British Army and evaluates the impact of the reforms upon British military performance in the Low Countries, in the period 1793 to 1814, via a series of narrative reconstructions. This thesis directly challenges the transformation argument and provides a re-evaluation of British military competency in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars.

An Analysis of the Role of Civil Society in Building Peace in Ethno-religious Conflict: A Case Study of the Three Southernmost Provinces of Thailand A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science and Public Policy at The University of Waikato by KAYANEE CHOR BOONPUNTH 2015 ii Abstract The ‘Southern Fire’ is an ethno-religious conflict in the southernmost region of Thailand that has claimed thousands of innocent lives since an upsurge in violence in 2004. Although it does not catch the world’s attention as much as other conflict cases in the same region, daily violent incidents are ongoing for more than a decade. The violence in the south has multiple causes including historical concerns, economic marginalisation, political and social issues, religious and cultural differences, educational opportunity inequities, and judicial discrimination.

  • Isandlwana, Rorke's Drift And
    ISANDLWANA, RORKE’S DRIFT AND THE LIMITATIONS OF MEMORY By Ian Knight ___________________________________________________________________________ In his memoir of a long and active military career, General Sir Horace Smith-Dorrien recalled a famous incident from the battle of Isandlwana; I will mention a story which speaks for the coolness and discipline of the regiment. I, having no particular duty to perform in camp, when I saw the whole Zulu army advancing, had collected camp stragglers, such as artillerymen in charge of spare horses, officers’ servants, sick, etc, and had taken them to the ammunition-boxes, where we broke them open as fast as we could, and kept sending out the packets to the firing line. In those days the boxes were screwed down and it was a very difficult job to get them open, and it was owing to this battle that the construction of ammunition boxes was changed. When I had been at this for some time, and the 1/24th had fallen back to where we were, with the Zulus following closely, Bloomfield, the quartermaster of the 2/24th, said to me in regard to the boxes I was then breaking open, ‘For heaven’s sake, don’t do that, man, for it belongs to our battalion.’ And I replied, ‘Hang it all, you don’t want a requisition now, do you?’ It was about this time, too, that a Colonial named Du Bois, a wagon-conductor, said to me, ‘The game is up. If I had a good horse I would ride straight to Maritzburg.’(1). It’s a powerful image, that glimpse of the meticulous Quartermaster, sticking to his orders at the obvious expense of his duty, and it strikes deep cords with modern preconceptions regarding the apparent lack of flexibility and imagination which prevailed in the British Army of the high-Victorian era.
