LOUGEE, C. C., Facing the Revocation. Huguenot Families, Faith, and the King's Will. Oxford University Press, 2020. 488p. Paperback. Building her book on decades of research and the unflagging pursuit of family papers, Lougee offers a detailed account of the varied responses of one extended family of Huguenot nobles to Louis XIV's revocation of the Edict of Nantes. The author effectively blends an intimate family portrait of the Robillard de Champagne with a broader historical account that offers a new perspective on the fate of the Huguenots and the limitations of the Sun King's power....In the end, each individual wrestled with the choice to convert or flee with considerations of family, property, class consciousness, and faith. Local officials appeared reluctant to enforce the royal prohibition against flight. The Champagne joined communities of Huguenot expatriates to rebuild their social network....Highly recommended.

LOUIS, W. R. and SHLAIM, A., The 1967 Arab-Israeli War. Cambridge University Press, 2012. 346p. Paperback. Series: Cambridge Middle East Studies, 36. The June 1967 war was a watershed in the history of the modern Middle East. In six days, the Israelis defeated the Egyptian, Syrian and Jordanian armies, seizing large portions of their territories. Two veteran scholars of the Middle East bring together some of the most knowledgeable experts in their fields to reassess the origins and the legacies of the war. Each chapter takes a different perspective from the vantage point of a different participant, those that actually took part in the war and also the world powers that played important roles behind the scenes. Their conclusions make for sober reading. At the heart of the story was the incompetence of the Egyptian leadership and the rivalry between various Arab players who were deeply suspicious of each other's motives. Israel, on the other side, gained a resounding victory for which, despite previous assessments to the contrary, there was no master plan. (Publisher's information). € 30.34 (New) (MD)

LOUMAGNE ULISHNEY, M., Original Sin and the Evolution of Sexual Difference. Oxford University Press, 2022. 240p. Hardback. Series: Oxford Theology and Religion Monographs. I always like a book that wakes me up, makes my brain move in new directions, and offers new paradigms for thinking theologically.
