iGuerilla traces the history of warfare from the Roman wars with the Huns, Goths and the many barbarian hordes, to the present wars with Hamas, Hizbollah, ISIS, Al Qaeda and other emerging Jihadist organizations. It explains the differences between the Sunni and the Shia segments of the Muslim world, and outlines their objectives and how they intend to achieve them, including the use of social media to recruit, propagandize and organize. It also illustrates how Western states can deal with and defeat the Jihadists by containing them, as was done to the Communist threat in the Cold War.--Publisher.

'Shakespeare loves loose ends; Shakespeare also loves red herrings.' Stephen Orgel Loose ends and red herrings are the stuff of detective fiction, and under the scrutiny of master sleuths John Sutherland and Cedric Watts Shakespeare's plays reveal themselves to be as full of mysteries as any Agatha Christie novel. Is it summer or winter in Elsinore? Do Bottom and Titania makelove? Does Lady Macbeth faint, or is she just pretending? How does a man putrefy within minutes of his death? Is Cleopatra a deadbeat Mum? And why doesn't Juliet ask 'O Romeo Montague, wherefore art thou Montague?' As Watts and Sutherland explore these and other puzzles Shakespeare's genuius becomes ever more apparent. Speculative, critical, good-humoured and provocative, their discussions shed light on apparent anachronisms, perfromance and stagecraft, linguistics, Star Trek and much else. Shrewd andentertaining, these essays add a new dimension to the pleasure of reading or watching Shakespeare. 'Few modern academics are doing quite so much as Professor Sutherland to connect the "common reader" with great books' Independent
