Book Synopsis Unvanquished by : Boutros Boutros-Ghali
Download or read book Unvanquished written by Boutros Boutros-Ghali and published by Random House. This book was released on 1999-06-01 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For years the United States has treated the United Nations as an extension of its own foreign policy, while other member states--especially smaller, less influential countries--have looked to the United Nations to represent their collective interests. This conflict escalated in the fall of 1996, when the United States unilaterally decided to deny Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali a second term. In this book Boutros-Ghali argues that U.S. policy toward the United Nations threatens the fragile fabric of the international organization. By selectively consulting the Security Council, the United States has frequently condemned the United Nations to the status of scapegoat in international affairs, notably during peacekeeping missions in Bosnia, Somalia, and Rwanda. Meanwhile, the United Nations's financial crisis persists as the United States fails to pay its bills while seeking to further increase its already considerable influence within the organization. In October 1995 President Clinton lavishly praised Boutros-Ghali for his "outstanding leadership," and thanked him for his "vision." Yet, a mere four months later, the Clinton administration decided that Boutros-Ghali would have to go. What happened in that short time to convince the United States that the secretary-general was now a liability? United States domestic electoral politics were decisive: While campaigning for the primaries, Bob Dole was scoring heavily by repeatedly ridiculing Boutros-Ghali. To neutralize Dole's challenge, Clinton denied the controversial secretary-general a second term, vetoing his reelection in the Security Council despite unanimous support from its other members. Boutros-Ghali reveals the dramatic conflict and the personalities involved and considers the future of the United Nations in light of American domination.
Book Synopsis The Unvanquished by : Patrick K. O'Donnell
Download or read book The Unvanquished written by Patrick K. O'Donnell and published by Grove Press. This book was released on 2024-05-07 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the bestselling author of The Indispensables, the unknown and dramatic story of irregular guerrilla warfare that altered the course of the Civil War and inspired the origins of America’s modern special operations forces The Civil War is most remembered for the grand battles that have come to define it: Gettysburg, Antietam, Shiloh, among others. However, as bestselling author Patrick K. O’Donnell reveals in The Unvanquished, a vital shadow war raged amid and away from the major battlefields that was in many ways equally consequential to the conflict’s outcome. At the heart of this groundbreaking narrative is the epic story of Lincoln’s special forces, the Jessie Scouts, told in its entirety for the first time. In a contest fought between irregular units, the Scouts hunted John Singleton Mosby’s Confederate Rangers from the middle of 1863 up to war’s end at Appomattox. With both sides employing pioneering tradecraft, they engaged in dozens of raids and spy missions, often perilously wearing the other’s uniform, risking penalty of death if captured. Clashing violently on horseback, the unconventional units attacked critical supply lines, often capturing or killing high-value targets. North and South deployed special operations that could have changed the war’s direction in 1864, and crucially during the Appomattox Campaign, Jessie Scouts led the Union Army to a final victory. They later engaged in a history-altering proxy war against France in Mexico, earning seven Medals of Honor; many Scouts mysteriously disappeared during that conflict, taking their stories to their graves. An expert on special operations, O’Donnell transports readers into the action, immersing them in vivid battle scenes from previously unpublished firsthand accounts. He introduces indelible characters such as Scout Archibald Rowand; Scout leader Richard Blazer; Mosby, the master of guerrilla warfare; and enslaved spy Thomas Laws. O’Donnell also brings to light the Confederate Secret Service’s covert efforts to deliver the 1864 election to Peace Democrats through ballot fraud, election interference, and attempts to destabilize a population fatigued by a seemingly forever war. Most audaciously, the Secret Service and Mosby’s Rangers planned to kidnap Abraham Lincoln in order to maintain the South’s independence. A little-known chronicle of the shadow war between North and South, rich in action and offering original perspective on history, The Unvanquished is a dynamic and essential addition to the literature of the Civil War.

Book Synopsis Unvanquished: The Fight Beyond Justice by : Dr. Jonaki Mukherjee
Download or read book Unvanquished: The Fight Beyond Justice written by Dr. Jonaki Mukherjee and published by BEE Books. This book was released on 2022-03-01 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unvanquished: The fight beyond Justice tells ten real-life stories of the struggles of women of diverse ages and backgrounds. A common thread that binds the stories in this collection is the prejudice, misogyny and exploitation that women have faced and struggled to overcome for generations. The struggle is not past them or us. Even as individuals and organisations continue their efforts to empower women, the harsh truth about the status and struggles of women cannot be wished away. These are the stories and truths that author Jonaki Mukerjee shares with her readers. As a dedicated teacher, a committed counsellor and an integral part of the West Bengal Women’s Commission. She brings to her writing of this book, many years of experience of having counselled and worked tirelessly with the real-life problems of women. This is what makes her book so special - the stories are real, not from the ancient past but from the India that we know today, and the person telling the stories has journeyed with each of the women she writes about. Many of these stories and their protagonists may appear to be familiar because there could not be a single reader who is unaware of the societal pressures, prejudices and gender discrimination that is so rampant. Jonaki’s sensitive telling of the stories of the women she has worked with and stood by forms an important document that will inform and inspire others and hopefully, be a humble but firm step towards an improvement in the status and the stature of women in India.

Book excerpt: The epic story of Joseph Pilsudski, the father of Polish independence. Although he is largely either unknown or misunderstood in the West, Pilsudski was a consequential historical figure whose defeat of the Red Army in 1920 preserved Poland's sovereignty and quite possibly spared Europe from Bolshevik revolution. This account of Pilsudski's life places this and other achievements in the proper context by providing sufficient background in Polish history and illuminating his interconnectedness with more well known historical events.
Book Synopsis Some Days There's Pie by : Catherine Landis
Download or read book Some Days There's Pie written by Catherine Landis and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2007-04-01 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ruth Ritchie elopes with a stereo salesman, thinking that she has found her ticket out of Summerville, Tennessee where her future means selling pies at Durwood's Hardware. But Chuck "gets religion," and Ruth, who cherishes her freedom more than safety, buys a used car and heads north. When Ruth faints from hunger at a North Carolina five-and-dime, Rose, a feisty elderly reporter, rescues her. A friendship stronger than family ties blossoms; for all her bravado, unsentimental Ruth can never quite disguise her need for a mother's love. In Ruth, Rose finds someone who refuses to see old age as a handicap, and gives her life new purpose. With spirited humor and empathy, Landis beautifully intertwines the unforgettable stories of Rose, in stubborn denial of lung cancer, and Ruth, who possesses the energy and conviction of Rose in her younger days.
