India vs UK The Story of an Unprecedented Diplomatic Win

India vs UK The Story of an Unprecedented Diplomatic Win
India vs UK: The Story of an Unprecedented Diplomatic Win by Syed Akbaruddin
English | December 15, 2021 | ISBN: 9354892035 | 170 pages | PDF | 2.90 Mb
"'Telling stories about institutions is about shoring up their foundations and building on their edifices.' From the uprising of 1857 and the freedom movement to duels on the cricket pitch, India and the United Kingdom have been on opposing sides on numerous occasions. A relatively unknown instance when this dynamic played out was the 2017 election for a seat at the International Court of Justice, one of the main organs of the United Nations. Unwilling at first, India was prompted to enter the ring in the wake of the Kulbhushan Jadhav case, which proved the importance of having an Indian judge at the court. The contest that followed was like a 'second war of Independence', in the words of then External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj―and a David-and-Goliath fight against the permanent members of the Security Council, who all put their might behind the UK. In India vs UK, Syed Akbaruddin, India's Permanent Representative to the UN at the time, presents a compelling behind-the-scenes account of India's coming-of-age in world affairs through the prism of this momentous election, and a fascinating view of the inner workings of the United Nations.

If the Walls Could Speak Inside a Women's Prison in Communist Poland

If the Walls Could Speak Inside a Women's Prison in Communist Poland
If the Walls Could Speak: Inside a Women's Prison in Communist Poland by Anna Müller
English | December 5, 2017 | ISBN: 0190499869 | True EPUB | 344 pages | 4.7 MB
The specter of a prison punishment for even slight political offenses became an element of daily life in post-war Poland. In interwar Poland, imprisonment, especially for communists, had served as a rite of passage, endurance training, and a university teaching life skills. The post-war order brought a dramatic shift, as communists all over the region, often veterans of interwar prisons or war-time concentration camps, used incarceration sites as a way to mold the future. The prison system functioned as a tool to subjugate society and silence or destroy enemies- anti-communists as well as committed communists. Arrests, trials, and prison sentences directly and indirectly affected tens of thousands of people and instilled fear and insecurity in many more.

2014 | 304 Pages | ISBN: 1609948130 | PDF | 4 MB
Ben & Jerry s has always been committed to an insanely ambitious three-part mission: making the world s best ice cream, supporting progressive causes, and sharing the companys success with all stakeholders: employees, suppliers, distributors, customers, cows, everybody. But it hasn t been easy.This is the first book to tell the full, inside story of the inspiring rise, tragic mistakes, devastating fall, determined recovery, and ongoing renewal of one of the most iconic mission-driven companies in the world. No previous book has focused so intently on the challenges presented by staying true to that mission. No other book has explained how the company came to be sold to corporate giant Unilever or how that relationship evolved to allow Ben & Jerry s to pursue its mission on a much larger stage.Journalist Brad Edmondson tells the story with an eye for details, dramatic moments, and memorable characters. He interviewed dozens of key figures, particularly Jeff Furman, who helped Ben and Jerry write their first business plan in 1978 and became chairman of the board in 2010. It s a funny, sad, surprising, and ultimately hopeful story.
