This volume aims to expand knowledge about the history of comparative education. It explores new scholarship on key actors and ways of knowing in the field. It aims to raise awareness on the positionality of historical narratives about this field of inquiry and offers a re-think of its histories. Since comparative education has always been embedded within a global field of power, what would the changing world order's implications be for the institutional and intellectual histories of the field? This book offers diverse perspectives for re-theorising the histories of comparative education. It suggests casting a far-sighted and panoramic look at the field's origins. The volume concludes with a puzzle for future work on a global history of comparative education. This book was originally published as a special issue of Comparative Education.… (más)

he story begins with one of KG 200's B-17s crash landing in Britain, after being shot down by German flak while on a mission to parachute in a load of spies. The pilot is not only the Luftwaffe's best and brightest, he just happens to be the key player in Operation Ulysses, a secret mission the Fuhrer hopes will alter the course of the war. So, why was he the one flying the mission, and why didn't he crash in France? Hmmm. British and American intelligence know the Germans are repairing and flying Allied aircraft, and know a bit about Ulysses, and even know where the pilot is hiding out in London. Rather than bringing him in, they help him escape back across the Channel, so they can get a better idea about the operation. An RAF and USAAF pilot who have been investigating the crash are sent to follow him, though they have no training in covert operations or assistance from any commandos or OSI operatives. After gathering the clues they need, and making a miraculous return, they prove to be the only ones who can stop the operation.

FANTASTIC BOOK !!! Loved reading this book and amazed by the German plan during WW II. Amazing secret unveiled in this book. KG 200 exists!! Must read ( )

Quite a good WWII novel in the style of Jack Higgins, although the story tends to get overwhelmed a bit by the author's quest for technical accuracy. For the record there actually was a KG200, and it did have captured Allied planes, but hardly did anything with them. although it carried out other secret operations. Reports of unidentified planes bearing Allied markings that joined bomber formations were reported but never substantiated. Still the "what might have been" makes this a fascinating story. ( )

A Luftwaffe squadron that poke perfect English. I they'd succeeded we'd all be speaking German. This novel of aerial assassination inspired by actual historical events, booms right along to an explosive finale.
A woman planted deep within Britain would trigger it. Winston Churchill was the target of the Nazi who led it. And at intimate Berlin parties "Goering boasted of it....KG200. a mission that would smash every rule of civilized warfare! But KG200 depends on a codeword to be given by a beautiful blonde German double-agent, and because of an affair of the heart, neither Goering nor the British can count on her loyalty.

KG200: a cloud of silence still hangs over the crack Nazi pilots trained in everything American, the resurrected B-17's they flew, the "war crime" their mission would enact. Because of that silence, the story is told a fiction, but all the incidents actually happened. ( )
