Where the majority of international research focusses on the European theatre, Antonio Garcia explores one of the peripheral campaigns of the Great War. South Africa's First World War campaign in German South West Africa was a daring military undertaking epitomised by manoeuvre and rapidity.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The author takes a novel approach in comparing the campaign to manoeuvre warfare theory. Manoeuvre theory is based on the principles of mobility, rapidity and surprise which attempts to achieve victory with the least loss of resources and in the shortest time possible. In order to achieve a rapid victory against the German forces, the South African soldiers were pushed to the limits of exhaustion to achieve the Union of South Africa's strategic objectives.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The campaign in the deserts of German South Africa became the setting for adventure and war, where Briton, Boer and People of Colour served together as a Dominion of the British Empire. Blacks, Coloureds and Indians fought for the hopes of better political franchise, an ambition which was not to be achieved until 80 years later. The book addresses the complex political dynamics in South Africa at the time of the Great War, the deep division between Afrikaners and British South Africans and the Afrikaner Rebellion.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e With the backdrop of political difficulties and a lack of overwhelming support for the entry into the Great War, the Botha government needed a quick result so as to maintain the delicate balance of power. The author provides an analysis on the campaign through the lens of military theory so as to determine how the swift victory was achieved. The book answers the question of whether the campaign was won through numerical superiority or through the use of a superior operational strategy. The victory was the first campaign victory led by a British Dominion.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49883713929489,"sku":"NGR9781911628941","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50810570408209,"sku":"GOR011598117","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51412592394513,"sku":"GOR012562556","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1911628941.jpg?v=1751632297"},{"product_id":"south-africa-and-united-nations-peacekeeping-offensive-operations-book-antonio-garcia-9780797494411","title":"South Africa and United Nations Peacekeeping Offensive Operations","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51007264194833,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51007267143953,"sku":"NIN9780797494411","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52618472259857,"sku":"NLS9780797494411","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0797494413.jpg?v=1750979882"},{"product_id":"arca-cherubiecus-constituida-de-las-leyes-reglas-de-la-milicia-de-jesuchristo-book-antonio-garca-9781175218797","title":"Arca Cherubiecus Constituída De Las Leyes, Reglas...

But when it comes to music, things look different.   With an emphasis on the German modernist tradition from Wagner to Schönberg, a whole range of references to music are scattered throughout Žižek’s copious body of works. However, these efforts seem to go almost unnoticed within academia – at least on first glance. Looking more closely, one notices a subtle but nevertheless consistent adoption of Žižek’s theories within musicology, spreading across a broad range of topics and approaches. So, Žižek has become part of musicology, even if his presence is still uncharted territory.   The present volume, which appeals to musicologists and philosophers alike, intends to map different ways in which Žižek’s philosophy has been adopted in order to approach many of musicology’s core questions, from musical analysis to the opera studies, from contemporary music to the history of the discipline itself. At the same time it both reflects on and questions Žižek’s positions on musical aesthetics as expressed in his writings. Last but not least, the volume also features two essays by Žižek himself, reflecting his different approaches to writing about music.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52671378424081,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52671379112209,"sku":"NLS9781433178986","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781433178986.jpg?v=1762292139"},{"product_id":"best-servant-story-book-antonio-garcia-9798887756028","title":"The Best Servant Story","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53635547758865,"sku":"NLS9798887756028","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9798887756028.jpg?v=1780997119"},{"product_id":"best-servant-story-book-antonio-garcia-9798887756042","title":"The Best Servant Story","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53635552346385,"sku":"NLS9798887756042","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9798887756042.jpg?v=1780997137"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-antonio-garcia.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
