The Commandos stand out as an iconic and fascinating formation who will always be of interest to the reading public.

During the war the formation grew in size and complexity, taking part in the most dangerous and compelling actions, and making themselves indispensable.

In the aftermath of WWII Australia undertook a number of war crime trials, and yet despite detailed records about Japanese military sexual slavery during the New Guinea Campaign, 'enforced prostitution' was not among the crimes prosecuted. This book asks why, when enforced prostitution was listed as a war crime, and both Australian and civilian authorities had reported the Japanese 'comfort women' scheme of military sexual slavery, its perpetrators were never called to justice.Bringing unpublished evidence to light, and employing both English and Japanese archival sources, this book describes the nature and extent of the trafficking and sexual slavery of women in the Pacific theatre of war, and connects it to sexual exploitation and violence in post-war Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan and Australia. Highlighting the ways in which cultural assumptions about Asian women influenced the perception and treatment of the so-called 'comfort women' by Australians, it argues that this prevented the prosecution of perpetrators for war crimes, and contends that these cultural assumptions have continued to influence the business, and tolerance, of sexual slavery in Australia today.

The book presents an evolutionary view of Nepal's constitutional system, grounded in the country's historico-political context. In particular, the analysis focuses on three aspects. First, the book investigates Nepal's processes of state formation and nation-building, centred on the institution of the Shah monarchy, Hinduism, and the Nepali language vis-à-vis Nepal's high degree of socio-cultural diversity. Second, it explores the difficulties in democratising Nepal's constitutional arrangements and entrenching the doctrine of popular sovereignty. This is reflected in the tensions between hereditary political power (the Shah monarchy and the Rana Prime Ministers) and representative political forces (political parties). Constitutionally, these tensions have resulted in the marginalisation of the legislature vis-à-vis the executive throughout the country's history, notwithstanding the fact that Nepal has always featured a parliamentary form of government. Lastly, the frequent changes in Nepal's fundamental law also reflect the profound influences of various foreign institutional models (in particular that of a 'modified' Westminster model) and their specific re-negotiation in the Nepali context, regardless of the fact that Nepal was never colonised.

Re-creating the Citadel and the Photographs of Kaveh Golestan is a political archaeology of a little-known crime committed in the early days of the nascent Islamic state in Iran in 1979. The starting point and artistic core of the book are sixty-one photographs taken between 1975 and 1977 by photographer Kaveh Golestan, who documented Tehran's red-light district a few years before it was violently set ablaze and wiped from the urban landscape and social memory. The book recovers the site and the social and spatial experiences associated with the area: its relationship to human life, the polis, social aesthetics, politics and dynamics, and the relationship between marginal and metropolitan citizenry. The project restores it to social memory and the public domain as a catalyzing moment in the establishment and preservation of a state-imposed project of violence against citizens and history itself. KAVEH GOLESTAN (1950-2003) was an Iranian photojournalist and artist. The first exhibition of the recovered material curated by Vali Mahlouji was showcased at the Foam Museum of Photography, Amsterdam (2014), and then traveled to the Musée d'art Moderne, Paris and MAXXI Museum, Rome (2014 2015). Consequently, the materials toured Photo London Fair (2015), Tate Modern, London (2017-18), Rohtas Gallery2, Lahore (2020), De le Warr Pavilion (2019), and Arnolfini (2019-2020). Tate Modern acquired the project in 2016.

This incisive volume offers fresh historical and constructive engagements with the ever fascinating and perplexing theological ethics of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Matthew Puffer examines the historical crises out of which Bonhoeffer composed the manuscripts that would become his posthumously published magnum opus, Ethics. He explores the ways in which Bonhoeffer understood his work as a response not only to the ecclesial, social, and political crises of Nazi Germany, but more specifically to a "crisis in ethics," the failure of traditional forms of ethics to effectively respond to the state of emergency. Bonhoeffer famously wrestles with novel proposals for how Christians should think about responsibility, complicity, culpability, and guilt in ways that have left not only casual readers but also philosophers and Bonhoeffer scholars scratching their heads. In these chapters, Matthew Puffer argues for a critical reconsideration of the ethics supposed to have informed Bonhoeffer's participation in German resistance, but also for an extension of Bonhoeffer's thought to the global, ecological, and intergenerational crises of ethics that we face today. An ethics of hope proves to be an essential and ineliminable feature of Bonhoeffer's thought, evident in his insistence that ethics is fundamentally about how coming generations will live. In Bonhoeffer we find fresh inspiration for contemporary debates regarding the meaning and political implications of human dignity, integrating the wellbeing of not-yet-existing future generations into the moral calculus regarding what it means to treat present day persons with dignity.
