It focuses on the kinds of literatures that were more readily available to the widest spectrum of the population. Four case studies from many possibilities have been selected, each examining a particular type of popular literature under the headings 'religious', 'moral', 'practical' and 'fictional'. A key concern of the book is how we might use particular types of evidence in order to understand more about reading practice and experience, so issues of method and approach are discussed fully in the opening chapter. One distinctive element of this book is that it attempts to uncover evidence for the reading practices and experiences of real, rather than ideal, readers, using evidence that is found within the material of a book or manuscript itself, or within the structure of a specific genre of literature. Salter attempts to negotiate a path through a set of methodological and interpretive issues in order to arrive at a better understanding of how people may have read and what they may have read. This, in turn, leads on to how we may interpret the evidence that manuscripts and early printed books provide for the ways that medieval and early modern people engaged with reading. This book will be of interest to academics and research students who study the history of reading, popular culture, literacy, manuscript and print culture, as well as to those interested more generally in medieval and early modern society and culture. 606 $aBooks and reading$zGreat Britain$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aBooks and reading$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aEnglish literature$yMiddle English, 1100-1500$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish literature$yEarly modern, 1500-1700$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLiterature$2mup 606 $aProse: Non-Fiction$2bicssc 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / General$2bisach 606 $aBiography & non-fiction prose$2thema 607 $aGreat Britain$xIntellectual life$y16th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xIntellectual life$y1066-1485 610 $aEnglish. 610 $aearly modern England. 610 $afictional literature. 610 $aliterary form. 610 $aliterary voice. 610 $amanuscript. 610 $amaterial evidence. 610 $amoral reading. 610 $apage layout. 610 $apopular reading. 610 $apractical texts. 610 $aprinted book. 610 $areading experience. 610 $areading practice. 610 $areligious texts. 615 0$aBooks and reading$xHistory 615 0$aBooks and reading$xHistory 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 7$aLiterature 615 7$aProse: Non-Fiction 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / General 615 7$aBiography & non-fiction prose 676 $a028.9094109024 700 $aSalter$b Elisabeth$f1972-$01465515 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796424503321 996 $aPopular reading in English c. 1400-1600$93675537 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04618nam 22007455 450 001 9910678253203321 005 20251009082004.0 010 $a9783031235559$b(electronic bk.) 010 $z9783031235542 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-031-23555-9 035 $a(PPN)28068472X 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC7206733 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL7206733 035 $a(CKB)26183521600041 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-031-23555-9 035 $a(EXLCZ)9926183521600041 100 $a20230228d2023 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aAfghanistan and the Vietnam Syndrome $eComparing US and Soviet Wars /$fby Deepak Tripathi 205 $a1st ed. 2023. 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer Nature Switzerland :$cImprint: Springer,$d2023. 215 $a1 online resource (190 pages) 300 $aIncludes index. 311 08$aPrint version: Tripathi, Deepak Afghanistan and the Vietnam Syndrome Cham : Springer,c2023 9783031235542 327 $aChapter 1. 9/11 Reprisal -- Chapter 2.

Conclusion. 330 $aGreat powers have often found that military adventurism to force their will in distant lands comes with the risk of spending excessive military, economic, and moral capital to the extent that war is no longer sustainable. Written by a former BBC Afghanistan correspondent who set up the corporation?s bureau in Kabul in the early 1990s, this book draws both from scholarly knowledge as well as first-hand insights on how the Americans met that fate in Vietnam, and the Soviets and Americans in Afghanistan. America?s 1975 retreat from Vietnam was a consequential event, prompting US commentators to explain it as reluctance to get involved in foreign wars, a mindset described as the Vietnam Syndrome. As Deepak Tripathi points out, the Vietnam experience made the Americans determined to give the Soviets their own Vietnam. The 1979 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, and retreat after a decade of occupation, represented the revenge America sought. However, President George W. Bush?s decision to invade Afghanistan after the 9/11 attacks was the beginning of a long military venture that ended in retreat in 2021. Addressing an academic as well as a general audience, Tripathi explores parallels between wars in Afghanistan and Vietnam, and shows how the United States and the Soviet Union met the same fate. "Anyone with an interest in world affairs should read Deepak Tripathi?s superb book Afghanistan and the Vietnam Syndrome." Richard Falk, Milbank Professor of International Law Emeritus, Princeton University, and Chair of Global Law, Queen Mary University of London "Combining the sharp judgments of an experienced foreign correspondent with the insights of the trained historian, Deepak Tripathi has produced an informed, insightful and wide-ranging study that helps us make sense of the challenges that both the Soviet Union and the United States encountered in Afghanistan's mountains and on Afghanistan's plains. No one will fail to benefit from reading it."
