Montgomery Hyde","description":"H. Montgomery Hyde died in 1989 by which time he had become history. Only a very few remembered him or his gay campaigning role let alone the fact he had been an Ulster Unionist MP throughout the 1950s. Thirty years later, he can hardly be conceptualised. Too many, at best, see him as an aberration for Belfast but he was a recognisable type of progressive yet traditional British politician. No one else played as long or as effective a part in changing the views of people towards gays when only a handful put their head above the parapet. Harford as he was known to his friends, H. Montgomery Hyde to his readers, and Montgomery Hyde to the electors of North Belfast, led the battle in the House of Commons for decriminalisation of homosexuality. And he paid as great a price as any parliamentarian could for his courage - he lost his seat. Very much a child of the 1920s, he was dedicated to researching and writing about those two most prominent gay men of the 20th century - Oscar Wilde and Roger Casement, both Irish outlaws. None the less, he managed to publish another forty books on a wide range of subjects including perhaps his finest works \u003ci\u003eThe Rise of Castlereagh\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Other Love\u003c\/i\u003e. A cheerful and good natured figure, Harford lived and loved well and is deserving, at the least, of this monograph outlining his struggles and achievements.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49665524990225,"sku":"GOR009753867","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51009797423377,"sku":"NIN9780953928798","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0953928799.jpg?v=1750705555"},{"product_id":"roger-casement-book-jeffrey-dudgeon-9780953928736","title":"Roger Casement","description":"Operations research uses quantitative models to analyze and predict the behavior of systems and to provide information for decision makers. Two key concepts in such research are optimization and uncertainty. Typical models in stochastic operations research include queueing models, inventory models, financial engineering models, reliability models, and simulation models. This book contains a collection of peer-reviewed papers from the International Workshop on Recent Advances in Stochastic Operations Research (2007 RASOR Nanzan) held on March 5-6, 2007, at Nanzan University, Nagoya, Japan. It enables advanced readers to understand the recent topics and results in stochastic operations research.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50141546905873,"sku":"CIN095392873XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/095392873X.jpg?v=1751171938"},{"product_id":"roger-casement-book-jeffrey-dudgeon-9781916019409","title":"Roger Casement","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51055097544977,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51055100133649,"sku":"NIN9781916019409","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52815312355601,"sku":"CIN1916019404VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1916019404.jpg?v=1751282913"},{"product_id":"roger-casement-s-german-diary-1914-1916-book-jeffrey-dudgeon-9780953928750","title":"Roger Casement's German Diary 1914-1916","description":"This is the definitive version of Roger Casement's German Diary covering the years 1914 to 1916 when, after the war started, he went to Berlin seeking support for Irish independence. With over 350 pages and 150,000 words, it is unabridged where another writer has edited out 20% of the original text. Those cuts are at times from the most sensitive of areas, including the behaviour of the German Army in Belgium and Casement's increasing disillusionment with the Kaiser's Imperial Government and Prussian militarism. The diary and many linked letters give a vivid impression of a man under stress in an alien environment who still manages to observe, describe and appreciate much of what he sees around him. He writes as an outsider of a nation at war with England and France. Casement's growing frustrations however come to the point where his own mental health is destabilised. The final section describes his frantic attempts both to get sufficient arms shipped to the separatist Irish Volunteers and to travel by submarine to Kerry with a view to getting the Easter Rising called off. The book concludes with a series of appendices exploring aspects of his time in Germany, the part played by his accomplices in the Rising, and the role of British and German Intelligence. The continuing controversy over the authenticity of his earlier diaries is also addressed. This is a companion volume to the author's 'Roger Casement: The Black Diaries - with a Study of his Background, Sexuality, and Irish Political Life' which was published in an extended 2nd edition (both paperback and Kindle) in early 2016.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52740544987409,"sku":"NIN9780953928750","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-jeffrey-dudgeon.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
