Prof. John Munro (1849-1930) was the author of Heroes of the Telegraph (1891), The Story of Electricity (1896) and A Trip to Venus (1897). "In plain English, at 4 a. m., a ray of light had been observed on the disc of the planet Mars in or near the "terminator"; that is to say, the zone of twilight separating day from night. The news was doubly interesting to me, because a singular dream of "Sunrise in the Moon" had quickened my imagination as to the wonders of the universe beyond our little globe, and because of a never-to-be-forgotten experience of mine with an aged astronomer several years ago. "

This is a transnational history of the activist and intellectual network that connected the Black freedom struggle in the United States to liberation movements across the globe in the aftermath of World War II. John Munro charts the emergence of an anticolonial front within the postwar Black liberation movement comprising organisations such as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the Council on African Affairs and the American Society for African Culture and leading figures such as W. E. B. Du Bois, Claudia Jones, Alphaeus Hunton, George Padmore, Richard Wright, Esther Cooper Jackson, Jack O'Dell and C. L. R. James. Drawing on a diverse array of personal papers, organisational records, novels, newspapers and scholarly literatures, the book follows the fortunes of this political formation, recasting the Cold War in light of decolonisation and racial capitalism and the postwar history of the United States in light of global developments.

This study in economic history focuses on the commercial relations and monetary policies of England, Burgundy, and Flanders in medieval times. Professor Munro shows how princes in continental Europe employed coinage debasements far more often as ad hoc fiscal measures to meet their ever-growing need for revenue than as purely monetary strategies to serve the economic requirements of their subjects. He demonstrates that the English Parliament had managed to exert such strong controls over the coinage that the Crown was forced to resort to other measures to secure precious metals for the mint’ and thus that such bullionist policies adopted by England, especially as they served monetary as well as fiscal needs and in so far as they attempted to produce bullion influxes by regulating the balance of trade, provided the true foundations of those early-modern economic policies and state practices known as Mercantilism. The most lucrative source of potential bullion was England’s export of wool, upon which the traditional draperies de luxe of the Burgundian Low Countries were so vitally dependent. He further describes how the competitive mint and bullionist policies severely disrupted the economic relations of these two countries, whose geography, economics, and history had made them so strongly interdependent, and broke up their political alliance at a crucial phase of the Hundred Years’ war. The author concludes that the ultimate consequence of this conflict was to accelerate the economic transformations of the countries involved. The draperis de lux of the Low Countries which for centuries had dominated the European markets fell into decay, and the final decisive victory of the English cloth industry and trade launched England on its slow but inexorable voyage toward the Industrial Revolution.
