Consuming Revenge presents the blood-thirsty results of allowing revenge to dominate the thoughts and actions of a highly respected citizen. This domination begins with the accidental deaths of two police officers and climaxes with the premediated plot to murder a third officer. Against this backdrop a budding romance grows between the targeted officer and the newspaper reporter. This romance is severely tested as revenge rages unabated. Lane Stewart, Commander of the Inmate Transport Unit, or the ITU, just laid to rest two members of his unit. He soon realizes that their deaths were not accidental, but the first steps in a calculated plot to discredit Lane and the ITU, a plot that becomes more sinister as it morphs from merely tarnishing Lane’s reputation into a vengeful scheme to take his life. How will Lane’s faith in God help him survive this plot? Danny O'Shaughnessy, the young, attractive newspaper reporter for the Daily Dispatch, has been assigned to write a series of investigative stories about the ITU. As she researches, she soon becomes charmed by the leader of this unit, a handsome, 40-something widower named Lane Stewart. As she grows closer to him, her new-found faith in Jesus Christ is tested. Having witnessed the death of her fiancé 5 years earlier in a skydiving accident, can she risk her heart again by becoming romantically involved with a man who is exposed to dangers every day at work? The Source, a shadowy, mysterious figure, seems to know all about the inner workings of the ITU, and uses this knowledge to play unnerving mind games with both Lane and Danny. The Source sends Danny mysterious emails filled with intimate details of the ITU, then captures clandestine photos of Lane and Danny, and finally arranges a death trap for Lane. But who is pulling The Source’s strings, and why?

This book offers an original assessment of the ways in which the sociocultural code of blood revenge and its modern remnants shape irregular warfare. Despite being a common driver of communal violence, blood revenge has received little attention from scholars. With many civil wars and insurgencies occurring in areas where the custom lingers, strengthening our understanding of blood revenge is essential for discerning how conflicts change and evolve. Drawing upon extensive multidisciplinary evidence, this book is the first in the literature on civil war and insurgency to analyse the impact of blood revenge and its modern remnants on irregular warfare. Even when blood revenge undergoes erosion, its unregulated version still shapes the social fabric of insurgency, although in different ways than its institutionalised counterpart. At times of political instability, the presence of a culture of retaliation weighs heavily on the dynamics of violent mobilisation, target selection, recruitment, and disengagement. This book brings in evidence from dozens of conflicts, providing unprecedented insights into how a better understanding of blood revenge can improve military blueprints for irregular warfare. This book will be of much interest to students of insurgency, terrorism, military and strategic studies, anthropology, and sociology, as well as to decision-makers and irregular warfare professionals.

Why is revenge such a pervasive and destructive problem? How can we create a future in which revenge is less common and forgiveness is more common? Psychologist Michael McCullough argues that the key to a more forgiving, less vengeful world is to understand the evolutionary forces that gave rise to these intimately human instincts and the social forces that activate them in human minds today. Drawing on exciting breakthroughs from the social and biological sciences, McCullough dispenses surprising and practical advice for making the world a more forgiving place. Michael E. McCullough (Miami, Florida), an internationally recognized expert on forgiveness and revenge, is a professor of psychology at the University of Miami in Coral Gables, Florida, where he directs the Laboratory for Social and Clinical Psychology.

What does the future hold for the left? How does the left adapt to, and prepare for, the crises of our time? In moments of crisis it is always important to rethink longstanding assumptions, jettison wishful thinking and dated ideas, and recover wisdom from the past. In so doing, we have the opportunity to plot a new way forward. The authors of this edited collection do just this: putting forward a diversity of approaches and issues to strategize for the work that awaits us in the 2020s, particularly in the struggle against capitalism, climate change and the far right. Working within five major thematic areas, the contributors examine how to engage working class people in anti-capitalist struggles, undermine reactionary currents of ethno-nationalism while supporting anti-colonial movements, strategically build power inside and outside the state apparatus, demand new forms of resistance to address environmental crises, and effectively promote solidarity and ecological responsibility. This book provides suggestions for working with popular disaffection, taking the rich, fragmented, conflicted history of refusals and defeats as a starting point for next steps in the struggle against capitalism and the far right, rather than as the basis for more conflict or defeatism.

When Charles I was executed, his son Charles II made it his role to search out retribution, producing the biggest manhunt Britain had ever seen, one that would span Europe and America and would last for thirty years. Men who had once been among the most powerful figures in England ended up on the scaffold, on the run, or in fear of the assassin's bullet. History has painted the regicides and their supporters as fanatical Puritans, but among them were remarkable men, including John Milton and Oliver Cromwell. Don Jordan and Michael Walsh bring these remarkable figures and this astonishing story vividly to life an engrossing, bloody tale of plots, spies, betrayal, fear and ambition.
