Book excerpt: Everybody’s Gulf War Syndrome is a little bit different. Or so believes Larry, who returns home from Desert Storm to find his hair gone and his bones rapidly disintegrating. Then there’s Lance Corporal James Laverne of the US Marines, who grows a third ear in Kuwait. And in the audaciously comic novella “Notes from a Bunker Along Highway 8,” a Green Beret deserts his team after seeing a vision of George Washington, only to find a new calling—administering aid to wounded Iraqi civilians; he’s hindered only by the furtive nature of his mission and an unruly band of chimpanzees. Together these narratives form a bracing amalgamation of devastating humor and brilliant cultural observation, in which Gabe Hudson fearlessly explores the darker implications of American military power.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In "Dear Mr. President...Reagan/Gorbachev and the Correspondences that Ended the Cold War", historian Jason Saltoun-Ebin sheds new light on the end of the Cold War by presenting, in many cases for the first time, the top-secret correspondence between Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev that started the first day Gorbachev came to power. Saltoun-Ebin shows, through this private correspondence, that the most important reason for the end of the Cold War was simply the trust that Reagan and Gorbachev built through their letters. Although Reagan and Gorbachev at first found little to agree upon, they started the path towards the end of the Cold War by agreeing that despite their differences, they would continue to correspond. From when Gorbachev took office on March 11, 1985 till Reagan left the presidency in January 1989, the two most powerful leaders in the world exchanged over forty letters. It was this dialogue -- this decision that they could individually make a difference -- more than anything that led to the cooling of tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union and then the end of the Cold War. Trusting did not come easy for either of them. The letters presented in "Dear Mr. President..." show, once again, that the pen is mightier than the sword.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2010 in the subject Musicology, grade: 1,0, University of Vienna (Institut für Musikwissenschaft), course: VO Gender, Race and Social Justice in Anglo-American Popular Music, language: English, abstract: [...] For my analysis I have chosen the song Dear Mister President by Pink which is a direct criticism of President George W. Bush. The first time I heard it, I was really impressed by it because the song is very critical and provoking, but the music is in a slow way and creates a very reflective and melancholic atmosphere which makes it a very touching song for me. The music of the song is, as just mentioned, very slow, just going along with the text, so you really have to listen to the words and are not distracted by it. This song was one of the most important songs on her album called I’m not dead and it is an open letter to the former President of the United States George W. Bush. It was written on Martin Luther King Day in 2005, but released for the first time in 2007. An interesting fact is that this song has won the Amadeus Austrian Music Award as the best international single of the year. [...]

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most important politics books of the year, To Obama is a record of a time when politics intersected with empathy. 'The real story of Obama's America' Sunday Times Every day, President Obama received ten thousand letters from ordinary American citizens. Every night, he read ten of them before going to bed. In To Obama, Jeanne Marie Laskas interviews President Obama, the letter-writers themselves and the White House staff in the Office of Presidential Correspondence who were witness to the millions of pleas, rants, thank-yous and apologies that landed in the mailroom during the Obama years. At once desperate, joyful, hateful and despairing, they form an intimate portrait of one man's relationship with the American people, and of a time when empathy intersected with politics in the White House.

Download or read book Mr. President, How Long Must We Wait? written by Tina Cassidy and published by 37 Ink. This book was released on 2020-03-03 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this “heroic narrative” (The Wall Street Journal), discover the inspiring and timely account of the complex relationship between leading suffragist Alice Paul and President Woodrow Wilson in her fight for women’s equality. Woodrow Wilson lands in Washington, DC, in March of 1913, a day before he is set to take the presidential oath of office. He is surprised by the modest turnout. The crowds and reporters are blocks away from Union Station, watching a parade of eight thousand suffragists on Pennsylvania Avenue in a first-of-its-kind protest organized by a twenty-five-year-old activist named Alice Paul. The next day, The New York Times calls the procession “one of the most impressively beautiful spectacles ever staged in this country.” Mr. President, How Long Must We Wait? weaves together two storylines: the trajectories of Alice Paul and Woodrow Wilson, two apparent opposites. Paul’s procession of suffragists resulted in her being granted a face-to-face meeting with President Wilson, one that would lead to many meetings and much discussion, but little progress for women. With no equality in sight and patience wearing thin, Paul organized the first group to ever picket in front of the White House lawn—night and day, through sweltering summer mornings and frigid fall nights. From solitary confinement, hunger strikes, and the psychiatric ward to ever more determined activism, Mr. President, How Long Must We Wait? reveals the courageous, near-death journey it took, spearheaded in no small part by Alice Paul’s leadership, to grant women the right to vote in America. “A remarkable tale” (Kirkus Reviews) and a rousing portrait of a little-known feminist heroine, this is an eye-opening exploration of a crucial moment in American history one century before the Women’s March.

Charlotte, James, and baby John have promised to be on their very best behavior for when George Washington comes to have his portrait painted by their father, Gilbert Stuart. But, it seems like every time George Washington comes to visit, Charlotte has to write another apology letter, even when they try to follow George Washington’s Rules of Good Behavior. If these whippersnappers want any dessert, they are going to have to learn some manners—and fast! What results is a hilarious chain of events, a giant mess…and a painting that will be remembered for centuries to come.

Download or read book The Eritrean Letter Writers written by Stephany Evans Steggall and published by . This book was released on 2021-08-14 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The letter writers were armed according to their rank: guns, scalpels, pens, purses, and voices. They had loyally followed The Leader for thirty years, until now. Among them were the usual biblical disciples - the forthright, the doubtful, the peaceful, the fearful, and the traitorous. They once had faith in The Leader who delivered independence and now withheld it. The Letter Writers are Eritrean men and women, the G-13, who met to discuss their concerns about Isaias Afwerki, once regarded as the world's most successful rebel commander and hailed by Bill Clinton as an African 'renaissance leader'. The letter they composed (the Berlin Manifesto) and the book about it explore the theme of misplaced loyalties in one man; misguided trust in flawed leadership. Power can do strange things to people: the Eritrean leader was assiduously cultivating a personality cult. The letter writers conclude that the leader in whom they invested so much faith and in whose devastating defeats and liberating triumphs they shared, had become just another African tyrant. Another theme is the ageless curse of modern African history: the freedom fighters won the wars, so why could they not win the peace? The plague of abused power in newly independent countries in postcolonial Africa destroys the democratic process. Why were the inventiveness and heroic valour of the Eritreans not enough to free their country? Eritrea has received little media attention or recognition. 'Small, self-made, independent', as Reesom Haile, the narrator of the book, puts it, the country was largely ignored during its fabled Armed Struggle against Ethiopia. The theme of global isolation and neglect is part of the book, while also delving into earlier colonial exploitation. Any university offering courses in African Studies or African Literature shall be interested in this book; very little has been written in narrative nonfiction in the West about Eritrea.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dear Mr. President Excuse me, kind sir . . . Yes, its me, way down here. Do you have just a moment to lend me your ear? I may be quite small, and you may think me naive. But please, sir, just grant me a moments reprieve. It has been said that our children are our future, yet we often fail to listen to what they have to say when they are young. We also tend to ask them to do as we say but not as we dowhether we realize it or not. We assume that they dont have anything important to say or that their observations are too immature to bare consideration. In a world swirling with political rhetoric, divisiveness, anger, and fear, Dear Mr. President reminds us just how important common decency, trust, and kindness truly are. It is also a powerful reminder that both words and actions make lasting impressions and that true wisdom often springs from innocence and candid honesty. The worlds children are watching and listening; we would be wise to listen to them too.
