Synopsis Head Hunters in the Malayan Emergency by : Dan Poole

Head Hunters in the Malayan Emergency investigates the infamous political scandal sparked after horrific photographs of war crimes during the Malayan Emergency were leaked to the British press. These photographs depicted British forces and their allies in Malaya scalping corpses and posing with decapitated human heads. The subsequent scandal, involving British generals, police, trade unions, and even Winston Churchill, led to the further discoveries that British forces had deployed over 1,000 men from Bornean headhunting tribes to Malaya, were publicly displaying corpses to terrify Malaya's civilian population into submission, and that photographs of such atrocities had become popular souvenirs among British troops. Using newly uncovered photographs, eyewitness accounts, and government documents, this research is the first ever attempt by any historian to create a complete history of the British-Malayan Headhunting Scandal, its political consequences, the stories of those involved, and its attempted cover-up.

Synopsis Traffic and Politics by : Nigel Yates

The history of Rochester bridge (identifiable remains date from the Roman occupation of the walled town) and the records of the bridge administration span close on 2000 years of economic and social change. The fortunes of the successive crossings, culminating in the Medway Tunnel project of the 1990s, reflect developments in regional and national affairs; the remarkable surviving archive of the bridge administration gives valuable detail on practical issues such as maintenance and financial management, and on the personalities involved. Each of the six studies that make up this book (written by different scholars) focuses on a distinct period in the history of this ancient and important crossing of the Medway, setting it in a wider national context of economic and social - and inevitably political - history, and including comparative material on other river crossings.
