Lieutenant-General Sir John Bagot Glubb, KCB, CMG, DSO, OBE, MC, KStJ, KPM (16 April 1897 – 17 March 1986), known as Glubb Pasha, was a British soldier, scholar and author . During the First World War, he served in France and was wounded three times, losing part of his jaw and chin -- hence the nickname the Bedouin later gave him of Abu Hunaik (Father of the Chin).. In 1939 Glubb succeeded Frederick G. Peake as the commander of the Arab Legion (subsequently known as the Jordan Royal Army). He transformed the Legion into the best-trained force in the Arab world. During the 1948 Arab–Israeli War the Arab Legion was considered the strongest Arab army involved in the war. Glubb led the Arab Legion across the River Jordan to occupy the West Bank (May 1948). Despite some negotiation and understanding between the Jewish Agency and King Abdullah, severe fighting took place in Kfar Etzion (May 1948), Jerusalem and Latrun (May–July 1948). More

They were the first criminologists to perform studies of chronic juvenile offenders and among the first to examine the effects of psychopathy among the more serious delinquents. During the aftermath of the Holocaust he was one of the leading advocates for the creation of an international criminal court to punish crimes against humanity. More

This is a collection of newspaper articles/columns about the Chechen War. Ink notation on verso (appears to be phone number of author). The author was a well-known advocate for migrant rights. This work addresses refugee's problems and resettlement issues. From a 2005 web-posting: Russia's biggest nongovernmental organization dealing with migration issues has shut down its operations, citing the government's proposal to toughen laws on NGOs, Lidiya Grafova, the head of the umbrella Forum of Migrants' Organizations, reported that the group's foreign sponsors have frozen funding pending final government decisions on the draft NGO law. The proposed law would require branches of foreign NGOs to reregister as Russian entities subject to financial and legal limitations. The Forum of Migrants' Organizations, which was founded in 1996, comprises 198 migrant-assistance organizations in 47 Russian regions. More

Presentation inscription by the DC Section of the National Council. DJ has some wear, soiling, edge tears and chips.
