Disability studies has emerged as an incisive inquiry into body politics, intersectionality theory and cultural politics. This collection of essays discusses disability in terms of literature, history, education, cultural studies and sociology in an effort to illuminate how disability informs black body politics.

Critical Examinations and Cultural Interventions

Blackness and Disability

Examines the leader's record as a naval strategist and his impact on naval power, seeking to debunk misconceptions about his failed campaigns and devasting losses during both World Wars.

Churchill and Sea Power

Based on exhaustive archival research, Churchill and the Dardanelles provides a detailed and authoritative account of Winston Churchill's role in the origins and execution of the controversial Dardanelles campaign in 1915, a failure that drove Churchill from office in disgrace and nearly destroyed his political career.

Churchill and the Dardanelles

Blackness and Disability makes a unique contribution to Disability Studies scholarship. Christopher Bell and the other contributors to this volume help fill a glaring gap in the literature by examining the intersection between race - specifically, blackness - and disability. This volume should be in the library of every Disability Studies scholar. (Series: FORECAAST - Vol. 21)

The Battle of the Atlantic was the longest campaign of the Second World War. This volume highlights the scale and complexity of this bitterly contested campaign, one that encompassed far more than just attacks by German U-boats on Allied shipping. The team of leading scholars assembled in this study situates the German assault on seaborne trade within the wider Allied war effort and provides a new understanding of its place within the Second World War. Individual chapters offer original perspectives on a range of neglected or previously overlooked subjects: how Allied grand strategy shaped the war at sea; the choices facing Churchill and other Allied leaders and the tensions over the allocation of scarce resources between theaters; how the battle spread beyond the Atlantic Ocean in both military and economic terms; the management of Britain's merchant shipping repair yards; the defense of British coastal waters against German surface raiders; the contribution of air power to trade defense; antisubmarine escort training; the role of special intelligence; and the war against the U-boats in the Arctic and Pacific Oceans.
