A shocking, unflinching and utterly gripping story of those affected by state oppression in Burma and the physical, emotional and moral consequences for both ordinary Burmese and those from the West attempting to provide aid. Born as the result of a state-sponsored act of violence, Lynch and Leer are the strange, wordless twin sons of Burmese villagers Je Lin and Verlaine. As they and the rest of their community, hiding in the jungle, attempt to survive the increasingly barbaric attacks by government soldiers, their fates are inextricably linked to those of Western NGO workers and lovers, Etaine and Tuvol. Toni Davidson weaves together multiple perspectives to create an extraordinary work of fiction, in turns tragic, horrific, moving and, above all, utterly compelling from first page to last.

This book provides an original legal analysis of child soldiers recruited into armed groups or forces committing mass atrocities and/or genocide as the victims of the genocidal forcible transfer of children. Legal argument is made regarding the lack of criminal culpability of such child soldier 'recruits' for conflict-related international crimes and the inapplicability of currently recommended judicial and non-judicial accountability mechanisms in such cases. The book challenges various anthropological accounts of child soldiers' alleged 'tactical agency' to resist committing atrocity as members of armed groups or forces committing mass atrocity and/or genocide. Also provided are original interpretations of relevant international law including an interpretation of the Rome Statute age-based exclusion from prosecution of persons who were under 18 at the time of perpetrating the crime as substantive law setting an international standard for the humane treatment of child soldiers.

All she wanted was a little revenge, what she got was a whole lot of trouble. Freya Morgan just wanted one thing: someone to beat up her evil ex-boyfriend. So she did what any self-respecting co-ed does, and hired the campus bad boy to kick his butt. It was the best idea ever. In fact, scorned girlfriends all over campus started hiring him to exact revenge on their exes. But now some of those exes are turning up dead, and he’s the only connection. Dean Collins is in trouble, and it’s all Freya’s fault. She’s the one who got him into the vengeance business in the first place and now he expects her to get him out. When Freya agrees to help Dean find the real killer, she discovers that this bad boy isn’t so bad, after all. Also, he’s almost too hot to handle. Getting involved with him means more than solving a murder, it means potentially losing her life…and her heart.

Despite the heated competition for colonial possessions in Papua New Guinea during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the personnel required to run an effective administration were scarce. As a result, the Australian colonial regime opted for a quick solution: it engaged Papua New Guineans—often to perform the most hazardous and most unpopular responsibilities. Based on extensive interviews with former policemen, written records of the time, and reminiscences of colonial officials, this book links events involving police, villagers, and government officers (kiaps) over a forty-year period to wider issues in the colonial history of Papua New Guinea and, by extension, of the Pacific Islands and beyond.

"Vampire heroes we can all believe in." --New York Times Bestselling Author, Faith Hunter Book 4: Paint It Black Goblins and Witches and Trolls . . . oh crap! In the fourth installment of The Black Knight Chronicles, Jimmy Black is having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day and a darned fine pity party, serving the finest alcohol, when a call from his not-quite-girlfriend-cop forces him to sober up and stare at jawbones. "Cold case" takes on a whole new meaning when vampire detectives risk life and limbs (literally) to connect a series of decades-old kidnappings in Charlotte with current missing persons cases. All clues lead through the veil of Faerieland to the legendary Goblin's Market, a magical bazaar where anything is available--for a price. The boys can barely stay out of trouble in Charlotte. As fresh meat at The Market, they'll be lucky to survive the day. Book 5: In the Still of the Knight The bodies are piling up! Murders are happening outside Charlotte's hottest nightspots. A new vampire society has set up shop in the sewers. And Jimmy Black's about to run afoul of the Master of the City. If Jimmy weren't already a vampire, the week ahead would be the death of him. Between murder, monsters, pesky vampire ethics, and territorial disputes, Jimmy is about to discover how far he's willing to go to save the world and one friend's soul. There are no easy choices, even for vampire geeks. Book 6: Man in Black The latest book in the award-winning Black Knight Chronicles is a raucous ride through the city of Charlotte's seedy underbelly with the most unlikely crime lord ever. Jimmy Black's knack for stumbling into the right place at the wrong time has landed him his dream job--or worst nightmare--Master Vampire of the City. Almost everyone that works for him wants him dead. His best friend isn't speaking to him. His girlfriend is now his ex-girlfriend. And the Vampire Council has appointed a watchdog who'll decide if he lives past Thursday. He has a kidnapping to solve, monsters and demons to fight, and a whole new crime empire to figure out. Then there's Lilith . . . . Join Jimmy as he tries to put his (un)life back together and stay alive long enough to save the world. Again. Author John G. Hartness is the Epic and Manly Wade Wellman Award-winning writer behind The Black Knight Chronicles from Bell Bridge Books, as well as the Quincy Harker, Demon Hunter and Bubba the Monster Hunter series.
