Book Synopsis Right Man, Right Place, Worst Time by : Betty Lee
Download or read book Right Man, Right Place, Worst Time written by Betty Lee and published by Boolarong Press. This book was released on 2019 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In May 1939, Australia’s Naval Intelligence had the foresight to set up a network of men located on various islands north of Australia to report on suspicious shipping movements near their coast. Only one man was considered ideal for commanding this top secret mission — Eric Feldt. Feldt was given the title Staff Officer Intelligence in Port Moresby. His task — recruit the civilian volunteers to be Coastwatchers. When war came to the Pacific these men were critical to the security of Australia and the US South Pacific Fleet. US Fleet Admiral Halsey told a gathering of the Australian-American Association, ‘I could get down on my knees every night and thank God for Commander Eric Feldt.’ This is the story of Eric Feldt and his Coastwatchers.
Book Synopsis Fighting Churchill, Appeasing Hitler by : Adrian Phillips
Download or read book Fighting Churchill, Appeasing Hitler written by Adrian Phillips and published by Biteback Publishing. This book was released on 2019-10-08 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Fighting Churchill, Appeasing Hitler Adrian Phillips presents a radical new view of the British policy of appeasement in the late 1930s. No one doubts that appeasement failed, but Phillips shows that it caused active harm – even sabotaging Britain's preparations for war. He goes far further than previous historians in identifying the individuals responsible for a catalogue of miscalculations, deviousness and moral surrender that made the Second World War inevitable, and highlights the alternative policies that might have prevented it. Phillips outlines how Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain and his chief advisor, Sir Horace Wilson, formed a fatally inept two-man foreign-policy machine that was immune to any objective examination, criticism or assessment – ruthlessly manipulating the media to support appeasement while batting aside policies advocated by Winston Churchill, the most vocal opponent of appeasement. Churchill understood that Hitler was the implacable enemy of peace – and Britain – but Chamberlain and Wilson were terrified that any display of firmness would provoke him. For the first time, Phillips brings to light how Wilson and Churchill had been enemies since an incident early in their careers, and how, eventually, opposing Churchill became an end in itself. Featuring new revelations about the personalities involved and the shameful manipulations and betrayals that went into appeasement, including an attempt to buy Hitler off with a ruthless colonialist deal in Africa, Fighting Churchill, Appeasing Hitler shines a compelling and original light on one of the darkest hours in British diplomatic history.

Book Synopsis Australia's Secret Army by : Michael Veitch
Download or read book Australia's Secret Army written by Michael Veitch and published by Hachette Australia. This book was released on 2022-08-31 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Established after World War I by the Royal Australian Navy, the Coast Watchers were a loose organisation of several hundred European settlers, missionaries, patrol officers and planters living in British and Australian Pacific Island territories whose job it was to observe and report on the enemy. They were mostly all unpaid volunteers whose job it was simply to observe and report on foreign shipping and aeroplane movements. It was never envisaged that the Coast Watchers would do any fighting, nor operate inside enemy-occupied territory. But when World War II came to the Pacific, that is exactly what they ended up doing, becoming, in effect, Australia's secret army. Fully cognisant of their fate should they be caught, they nonetheless battled not just the enemy, but constant exhaustion, tropical disease, and the ever-present spectre of capture, torture and death. Without the Coast Watchers and the crucial intelligence they provided, key moments in the war could have turned out very differently. This is the story of these unsung heroes who risked their lives - and sometimes lost them - in the service of their country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ambitious study of major league managers since the formation of the National League applies a sabermetric approach to gauging their performance and tendencies.

Book Synopsis Bleating in Southern California by : Yingtien A. Shih
Download or read book Bleating in Southern California written by Yingtien A. Shih and published by Andy Shih. This book was released on 2014-05-04 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As R. W. Emerson says, by necessity, by proclivity, and by delight, we all quote. As B. Disraeli says, the wisdom of the wise and the experience of the ages are perpetuated by quotations. Confucius and Lao-tzu are famous philosophers in ancient China, who still have a great influence over modern Chinese. Besides, many Chinese proverbs and idioms also keep swaying modern Chinese. A lot of Western proverbs and quotations also make a dent in modern Chinese. One of the main purposes of my book is to promote the understanding between the East and the West. My book consists of hundreds Chinese and Western quotations and proverbs, which are witty, inspirational, self-improving, or humorous. As the Talmud says, a quotation at the right moment is like bread to the famished. G. B. Shaw says, " I often quote myself. It adds spice to my conversation." As R. W. Emerson says, conversation is an art in which a man has all mankind for competitors. Pierre de Beaumarchais says, " It isn't necessary to understand things in order to argue about them. Everyone has got a right to say or do whatever he or she prefers, which could honor or humiliate him or her, you know. Life is changeable. Don't grieve for the past. Learn from the past and improve. Don't fear the future. Challenging the present problems, you'll have a sweet memory and make a better prepara- tion for the future. My book also shows the pronunciations of pinyin Chinese. The complete title of my book is " A WINTER-BORN SHEEP BLEATING IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA" because I was born in 1943, named "yang2 nian2" meaning the "year of sheep" according to Chinese zodiac. In Southern California, a remarkably multicultural area where I've lived for more than 30 years, the grass flourishes in rainy winter. As F. Allen says, California is a fine place to live in--if you happen to be an orange.

Book Synopsis In Search of Lost Time - The Complete Seven-Book Series by : Marcel Proust
Download or read book In Search of Lost Time - The Complete Seven-Book Series written by Marcel Proust and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2022-11-13 with total page 2837 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Search of Lost Time is a series of seven highly acclaimed novels which inspired modern writers with its artistic craft and philosophical insight regarding memory and time. It is often suggested that perhaps Joyce's Ulysses was in some way inspired by this French tour de force. These bestselling novels recount the experiences of an unnamed narrator while he is growing up, learning about art, participating in society, and falling in love. Swann's Way: The young protagonist dreads waking up at night and not having his mother's good-night kiss... Within a Budding Grove beautifully examines the complex adolescent relationships. The Guermantes Way: The adult protagonist steps into the dazzling Parisian society of 19th century along with his obsession for Mme. de Guermantes. Cities of Plain: No matter how hard he tries to ignore or stay indifferent to closeted homosexual relationships around him, these and his own sexual desires become intricate part of his memories. The Captive dwells into the nature of relationships when couples fall out of love and yet don't have courage to break free. The Sweet Cheat Gone: People who leave rarely come back... Time Regained: After the WW1, he goes back to Paris to meet the people he once knew again, but time has never stopped for anyone Marcel Proust (1871–1922) was an inspirational French novelist, critic and essayist who is now considered as one of the most influential authors of the 20th century. His aesthetic craft and deep philosophical insight inspired numerous modern writers.

Book Synopsis Finance & Development, September 2012 by : International Monetary Fund. External Relations Dept.
Download or read book Finance & Development, September 2012 written by International Monetary Fund. External Relations Dept. and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2012-11-28 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technology is generating a global convergence. A "big bang" of information—and education as well—is improving human lives. And with global interconnectivity growing by leaps and bounds, we are all witness to a rapid spread of information and ideas. But, as we have seen from the prolonged global financial crisis, our interconnectedness carries grave risks as well as benefits. This issue of F&D looks at different aspects of interconnectedness, globally and in Asia. • Brookings VP Kemal Devis presents the three fundamental trends in the global economy affecting the balance between east and west in "World Economy: Convergence, Interdependence, and Divergence." • In "Financial Regionalism," Akihiro Kawai and Domenico Lombardi tell us how regional arrangements are helping global financial stability. • In "Migration Meets Slow Growth," Migration Policy Institute president Demetrios Papademetriou examines how the global movement of workers will change as the economic crisis continues in advanced economies. • "Caught in the Web" explains new ways of looking at financial interconnections in a globalized world. • IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde provides her take on the benefits of integration and the risks of fragmentation in "Straight Talk." Also in this issue, we take a closer look at interconnectedness across Asia as we explore how trade across the region is affected by China's falling trade surplus, how India and China might learn from each others' success, and what Myanmar's reintegration into the global economy means for its people. F&D's People in Economics series profiles Justin Yifu Lin, first developing country World Bank economist, and the Back to Basics series explains the origins and evolution of money.

Book Synopsis Speak Clearly Into the Chandelier by : John C. Q. Roberts
Download or read book Speak Clearly Into the Chandelier written by John C. Q. Roberts and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-24 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a unique view of British-Russian relations during the last fifteen years of the Soviet regime and thereafter into the post-communist era. As Director of a Foreign-Office-funded organisation promoting professional, intellectual and cultural contacts between Britain and Russia, Roberts earned the trust of leading figures in both countries. At the same time he had to maintain cross-party support in Parliament and the confidence of his Whitehall paymasters. These last occasionally proved as obstructive as the Soviet organisations - all opposed to unfettered contact with western people and ideas - with which he had to maintain a modus operandi. Undeterred by Cold War rhetoric, the author contrived to break down barriers and to earn the trust and gratitude of writers, musicians, theatre and film directors, scientists and even politicians. This is their eye-witness history, no less than his.

Download or read book The Modern Library In Search of Lost Time, Complete and Unabridged 6-Book Bundle written by Marcel Proust and published by Modern Library. This book was released on 2012-02-06 with total page 4175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Graham Greene considered Marcel Proust “the greatest novelist of the twentieth century, just as Tolstoy was in the nineteenth.” Edmund Wilson proposed that he was “perhaps the last great historian of the loves.” And Virginia Woolf celebrated Proust for “his combination of the utmost sensibility with the utmost tenacity.” The prolific French master dazzled many of the most cherished authors of our time, and now his signature work comes alive in this practical and completely accessible eBook bundle. For these Modern Library volumes, D. J. Enright revised the late Terence Kilmartin’s acclaimed reworkings of C. K. Scott Moncrieff’s and Andreas Mayor’s translations to match the definitive French editions published in recent decades. Expertly and lovingly crafted to rival Marcel Proust’s original in elegance, precision, and emotional resonance, here is In Search of Lost Time as it was meant to be read.
