Book Synopsis The War of Nerves by : Martin Sixsmith
Download or read book The War of Nerves written by Martin Sixsmith and published by Profile Books. This book was released on 2021-11-11 with total page 775 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Essential ... endlessly fascinating ... to read Sixsmith is to want to read more Sixsmith' Forbes More than any other conflict, the Cold War was fought on the battlefield of the human mind. And, nearly thirty years since the collapse of the Soviet Union, its legacy still endures - not only in our politics, but in our own thoughts, and fears. Drawing on a vast array of untapped archives and unseen sources, Martin Sixsmith vividly recreates the tensions and paranoia of the Cold War, framing it for the first time from a psychological perspective. Revisiting towering personalities like Khrushchev, Kennedy and Nixon, as well as the lives of the unknown millions who were caught up in the conflict, this is a gripping account of fear itself - and in today's uncertain times, it is more resonant than ever.
Book Synopsis Iraq: the War That Shouldn’T Be by : M. M. Chantiloupe
Download or read book Iraq: the War That Shouldn’T Be written by M. M. Chantiloupe and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-07-22 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "My entrepreneurial father was involved in politics and government. And, these attributes became a part of my life. I always want to know what is happening in the government as well as the private sector, not only in the U.S. but other countries as well. My interest piques more so during an election year and a new administration. After watching the buildings collapsed downtown Manhattan on September 11, 2001, and the ensuing catastrophe, I started to do some research on Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein. I discovered that bin Laden and Saddam Hussein disliked each other so it was unlikely that they would work together. In 1998 the Clinton administration launched Desert Fox and took out Iraqs chemical facilities and containment was effective because of the no-fly zone. And in August 1982, Israel used U.S. Tama Hawk missiles to take out Iraqs nuclear facilities and it was never restarted. Being a concerned citizen, it was incumbent upon me to make the information available to the general public. I received a letter from a congressional member saying the information compiled in my book should be brought to the attention of the general public and the nations lawmakers and invited me to take part in a panel discussion in Congress on January 29, 2007."
Book Synopsis The Sleepwalkers by : Christopher Clark
Download or read book The Sleepwalkers written by Christopher Clark and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2013-03-19 with total page 680 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A monumental new volume. . . . Revelatory, even revolutionary. . . . Clark has done a masterful job explaining the inexplicable.” — Boston Globe One of The New York Times Book Review’s 10 Best Books of the Year • Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize (History) Historian Christopher Clark’s riveting account of the explosive beginnings of World War I. Drawing on new scholarship, Clark offers a fresh look at World War I, focusing not on the battles and atrocities of the war itself, but on the complex events and relationships that led a group of well-meaning leaders into brutal conflict. Clark traces the paths to war in a minute-by-minute, action-packed narrative that cuts between the key decision centers in Vienna, Berlin, St. Petersburg, Paris, London, and Belgrade, and examines the decades of history that informed the events of 1914 and details the mutual misunderstandings and unintended signals that drove the crisis forward in a few short weeks. Meticulously researched and masterfully written, The Sleepwalkers is a dramatic and authoritative chronicle of Europe’s descent into a war that tore the world apart.
Book Synopsis After the War on Crime by : Mary Louise Frampton
Download or read book After the War on Crime written by Mary Louise Frampton and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2008-07-01 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1970s, Americans have witnessed a pyrrhic war on crime, with sobering numbers at once chilling and cautionary. Our imprisoned population has increased five-fold, with a commensurate spike in fiscal costs that many now see as unsupportable into the future. As American society confronts a multitude of new challenges ranging from terrorism to the disappearance of middle-class jobs to global warming, the war on crime may be up for reconsideration for the first time in a generation or more. Relatively low crime rates indicate that the public mood may be swinging toward declaring victory and moving on. However, to declare that the war is over is dangerous and inaccurate, and After the War on Crime reveals that the impact of this war reaches far beyond statistics; simply moving on is impossible. The war has been most devastating to those affected by increased rates and longer terms of incarceration, but its reach has also reshaped a sweeping range of social institutions, including law enforcement, politics, schooling, healthcare, and social welfare. The war has also profoundly altered conceptions of race and community. It is time to consider the tasks reconstruction must tackle. To do so requires first a critical assessment of how this war has remade our society, and then creative thinking about how government, foundations, communities, and activists should respond. After the War on Crime accelerates this reassessment with original essays by a diverse, interdisciplinary group of scholars as well as policy professionals and community activists. The volume's immediate goal is to spark a fresh conversation about the war on crime and its consequences; its long-term aspiration is to develop a clear understanding of how we got here and of where we should go.
Book Synopsis America's Education Deficit and the War on Youth by : Henry A. Giroux
Download or read book America's Education Deficit and the War on Youth written by Henry A. Giroux and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2013-04 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America’s latest war, according to renowned social critic Henry Giroux, is a war on youth. While this may seem counterintuitive in our youth-obsessed culture, Giroux lays bare the grim reality of how our educational, social, and economic institutions continually fail young people. Their systemic failure is the result of what Giroux identifies as “four fundamentalisms”: market deregulation, patriotic and religious fervor, the instrumentalization of education, and the militarization of society. We see the consequences most plainly in the decaying education system: schools are increasingly designed to churn out drone-like future employees, imbued with authoritarian values, inured to violence, and destined to serve the market. And those are the lucky ones. Young people who don’t conform to cultural and economic discipline are left to navigate the neoliberal landscape on their own; if they are black or brown, they are likely to become ensnared by a harsh penal system. Giroux sets his sights on the war on youth and takes it apart, examining how a lack of access to quality education, unemployment, the repression of dissent, a culture of violence, and the discipline of the market work together to shape the dismal experiences of so many young people. He urges critical educators to unite with students and workers in rebellion to form a new pedagogy, and to build a new, democratic society from the ground up. Here is a book you won’t soon forget, and a call that grows more urgent by the day.

Book Synopsis The American People in World War II by : David M. Kennedy
Download or read book The American People in World War II written by David M. Kennedy and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2003-11-20 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even as the New Deal was coping with the Depression, a new menace was developing abroad. Exploiting Germany's own economic burdens, Hitler reached out to the disaffected, turning their aimless discontent into loyal support for his Nazi Party. In Asia, Japan harbored imperial ambitions of its own. The same generation of Americans who battled the Depression eventually had to shoulder arms in another conflict that wreaked worldwide destruction, ushered in the nuclear age, and forever changed their way of life and their country's relationship to the rest of the world. The American People in World War II--the second installment of Kennedy's Pulitzer Prize-winning Freedom from Fear--explains how the nation agonized over its role in the conflict, how it fought the war, why the United States emerged victorious, and why the consequences of victory were sometimes sweet, sometimes ironic. In a compelling narrative, Kennedy analyzes the determinants of American strategy, the painful choices faced by commanders and statesmen, and the agonies inflicted on the millions of ordinary Americans who were compelled to swallow their fears and face battle as best they could. The American People in World War II is a gripping narrative and an invaluable analysis of the trials and victories through which modern America was formed.
Book Synopsis Soviet Veterans of the Second World War by : Mark Edele
Download or read book Soviet Veterans of the Second World War written by Mark Edele and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2008-11-27 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millions of Soviet soldiers died in the USSR's struggle for survival against Nazi Germany but millions more returned to Stalin's state after victory. Mark Edele traces the veterans' story from the early post-war years through to the end of the Soviet Union in 1991. He describes in detail the problems they encountered during demobilization, the dysfunctional bureaucracy they had to deal with once back, and the way their reintegration into civilian life worked in practice in one of the most devastated countries of Europe. He pays particular attention to groups with specific problems such as the disabled, former prisoners of war, women soldiers, and youth. The study analyses the old soldiers' long struggle for recognition and the eventual emergence of an organized movement in the years after Stalin's death. The Soviet state at first refused to recognize veterans as a group worthy of special privileges or as an organization. They were not a group conceived of in Marxist-Leninist theory, there was suspicion about their political loyalty, and the leadership worried about the costs of affording a special status to such a large population group. These preconceptions were overcome only after a long, hard struggle by a popular movement that slowly emerged within the strict confines of the authoritarian Soviet regime.
