Product Description
Oliver Cromwell spent just nine months in Ireland, from August 1649 to May 1650, but his impact lasted for centuries. This is the first modern account of his campaign to complete the English conquest of Ireland, something which had eluded every English monarch since 1170. The book sets out the history of the 1640s from the Ulster Catholic rebellion of 1641 to the execution of King Charles I, and completes the story by recounting the long cleanup operation that followed Cromwell's departure. Wheeler's panoramic survey of these crucial years in Anglo-Irish relations is the first narrative overview of the subject in modern times. ... Read more

OR WHAT IS THE HYPOCRITICAL PURITAN BUSH ARMIES BUT
invading imperialists and Iraq Ireland?

Irish Overmatched
Professor Wheeler's book is an excellent military and political history of the tumultuous and devastating decade in Irish history of the Cromwellian conquest. This Irish disaster unfolds slowly, but seems a foregone conclusion almost from the start, given the deep political divisions between Gaelic Irish, Old (Catholic) English, and Royalist Protestants that prevented the development of an effective anti-Cromwellian coalition. Furthermore, the generally brave, but notoriously undisciplined Irish levies were no match for Cromwell's New Model Army. (Although when well-led, the Irish were capable of giving Oliver a bloody nose, as at Clonmel, perhaps Cromwell's weakest display of generalship.) The only major criticism of this volume is it lacks somewhat in the flashes of color and character that give pleasure to posterity.

Wheeler documents the surprising brutality of both sides. Any reader seeking the ancient roots of the deep sectarian hatred in Ulster today would find this volume a good starting point.

It occurs to this contemporary reader that the furies and fanaticism of the era, and the figures of Oliver Cromwell, Ireton, and Ludlow, with their inhumanity, bigotry, violence, and barbarity, are eerily and unpleasantly familiar. For what is Osama bin Laden but Cromwell with a Kalashnikov, what are the Taliban but Roundheads with rocket launchers? ... Read more

Product Description
This is the first textbook available from the Wadsworth Contemporary Issues in Crime and Justice Series about burglars--why they do what they do, how they do it, and what the general public can do to protect themselves. The authors analyze the decision-making processes employed by burglars and discuss what rational processes are used when contemplating burglary. How do residential burglars select their targets? What environmental factors are used as discriminative cues in target selection? What marketing strategies and outlets do burglars use to fence their stolen goods? Cromwell and Olson also look at the desistance process to help students understand circumstances that may lead offenders to end their criminal activities. ... Read more

5 Stars
I have been a Crime Analyst for a year and a half now, and I am constantly searching for material to help me improve. I am so glad that I found "Breaking and Entering". After reading it, I find myself digging deeper when analyzing ALL crime. I am now slower...but the quality of my work is better. I carry this book with me to work everyday. I think this should be required reading for all Crime Analyst.

Crime Prevention
As a law enforcement officer that deals with preventing crime, I enjoyed reading the book. It offered good insight into the process of how criminals "see" a house and what factors go into selecting a home to break into.

This is one of many sources of information that would be helpful if you were speaking to a community watch group.

Facinating Sociological Study
This book is the result of a fascinating study by Cromwell and Olson about what makes burglars tick.To conduct the study, the authors did not just look at statistics or talk to police.Instead, they interviewed actual active burglars in a medium sized Texas city.They asked the burglars how long they had been working, why they started, how they chose a target, what they stole, and how they stole it.

What they found was fascinating.The book gives information on who burglars are, what they steal, and how not to become a target. ... Read more
