Dealing with the Devil
"When Nazi Germany attacked the Soviet Union ... Prime Minister Winston Churchill reached out to promise support to the Kremlin and collaborate with Britain's former archenemy. Fighting the Nazi menace together became the new priority, leading to unprecedented levels of cooperation between the two governments. In order to defeat the Nazis, Britain and the USSR shared intelligence and revealed operative secrets to each other, including those of the secretive security services. They helped with the dispatch of agents and even ran agents together, attempting to foil German counter-intelligence strategies. For much of the Cold War, crucial facts of this collaboration remained top secret. Based on recently declassified files, [this book] explores this little-known chapter of the Second World War ... [using] personnel files and other historical sources to reveal for the first time the activities of officers and agents on this 'invisible front, ' recounting the actions of many brave men and women who risked their lives to defeat the Nazis"--Page 4 of cover.
Transnational Soldiers
Warfare in the modern era has often been described in terms of national armies fighting national wars. This volume challenges the view by examining transnational aspects of military mobilization from the eighteenth century to the present. Truly global in scope, it offers an alternative way of reading the military history of the last 250 years.

Exploring Macrophage Metabolic Adaptations to Bacterial Infection: Pathways and Immune Responses
The plasticity of macrophages depends on the spatial distribution, surrounding cell types, external microenvironment and extrinsic stimuli. This represents not only their capability to rapidly adapt, but also their multifunctionality, such as phagocytosing invading pathogens, antigen-presentation, inflammation, tissue homeostasis and regeneration. Pathogenic bacteria can also quickly adapt to their surroundings, e.g., the extracellular milieu or the intracellular compartments of macrophages. Therefore pathogens exhibit a vast repertoire of bacterial virulence factors that intervene by activating, stalling or altering various macrophage cellular processes. Probably the most complex intracellu...
