Download or read book Drums of War, Drums of Development: The Formation of a Pacific Ruling Class and Industrial Transformation in East and Southeast Asia, 1945-1980 written by Jim Glassman and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-08-13 with total page 719 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Drums of War, Drums of Development, Jim Glassman analyses the geopolitical economy of industrial development in East and Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War era, showing how it was shaped by the collaborative planning of US and Asian elites. Challenging both neo-liberal and neo-Weberian accounts of East Asian development, Glassman offers evidence that the growth of industry (the 'East Asian miracle') was deeply affected by the geopolitics of war and military spending (the 'East Asian massacres'). Thus, while Asian industrial development has been presented as providing models for emulation, Glassman cautions that this industrial dynamism was a product of Pacific ruling class manoeuvring which left a contradictory legacy of rapid growth, death, and ongoing challenges for development and democracy.

Book Synopsis The Antique Drums of War by : James H. McRandle
Download or read book The Antique Drums of War written by James H. McRandle and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historian McRandle contends that war is a deep-rooted human institution, like marriage and food sharing, that depends on ritual and myth. He began his inquiry after being struck by the similarity of letters from common soldiers as long as 2,000 years ago, and has mustered evidence from psychological concepts, literature, and studies of animal behavior. He suggests that soldiers raping conquered women, rather than an atrocious side effect of war, may be its fundamental purpose. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Book Synopsis Marching to the Drums by : John Norris
Download or read book Marching to the Drums written by John Norris and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2012-02-29 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Military drummers have played a crucial role in warfare throughout history. Soldiers marched to battle to the sound of the drums and used the beat to regulate the loading and re-loading of their weapons during the battle. Drummers were also used to raise morale during the fight. This is the first work to chart the rise of drums in military use and how they came to be used on the battlefield as a means of signalling. This use was to last for almost 4,000 years when modern warfare with communications rendered them obsolete. Even so, drummers continued to serve in the armies of the world and performed many acts of heroism as the served as stretcher bearers to rescue the wounded from the battlefield. From ancient China, Egypt and the Mongol hordes of Genghis Khan the drum was used on the battlefield. The 12th century Crusaders helped re-introduce the drum to Europe and during the Napoleonic Wars of the 18th and 19th centuries the drum was to be heard resonating across Europe. Drummers had to flog their comrades and beat their drums on drill parade. Today they are ceremonial but this work tells how they had to face enemies across the battlefield with only their drum.

Brought up in a relatively liberal household, Jemima Emerson is quite a challenge for her tutor, John Reid, who is known as a Tory with strong ties to England. How could Jem's parents be friends with a man who opposes American freedom? Jem longs for freedom on every level, in the home and her homeland--and John represents the forces that restrict her. Jem and her family soon find themselves fighting for freedom in whatever ways they can in the Revolutionary War. Before long, Jem discovers that there is much more to Mr. Reid than she ever imagined. Her feelings about him change when Jem realizes that John shares her love of freedom--and will risk his life to defend it.

Download or read book Drums of War written by J. M. Patton and published by A Full Measure. This book was released on 2021-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drums of War is the second volume of the A Full Measure trilogy. Following a personal tragedy and their graduation from West Point, now 2nd Lieutenants Jake Jacobs and Patrick McSwain don the army blue to fulfill their obligation to the United States Army by serving in the combat arms. Jake goes to the Green Berets at a time when Special Forces are resented by conventional units and are near extinction. Patrick becomes a Huey Cobra helicopter pilot, risking his life to support troops on the ground with a weapon terrifyingly capable of tearing things up. Both young men are dedicated warriors, and the women who love them find that Duty-Honor-Country has also become their way of life. This masterfully written book finds the Vietnam War in its final throes of agony for the American military. At the same time, another enemy, encouraged by the Cold War, forms a future threat that will test the resolve and adaptability of America to counter enemies foreign and domestic. As a Green Beret, Jake finds himself leading the last inland mission in South Vietnam and quickly thrust into combat with global terrorists and their death-dealing use of hijackings and chemical weapons on American soil. A demoralized military makes for uncertain careers, shifting internal politics at the highest levels of command, and finding military families suffering the indignities of honorable military service becoming out of public favor.Like the first volume, West Point, Drums of War is a rollercoaster ride of emotions. It is heartrending. It is humorous. It is thrilling. Drums of War is a must-read for any reader interested in the great history of military life and the Armed Forces. This coming-of-age story is also enjoyed by readers of historical fiction, Christian fiction, and military fiction.
