Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: VILLAGE AT WAR: AN ACCOUNT OF CONFLICT IN VIETNAM WITH A SPECIAL FOREWORD BY H.H. THE 14TH DALAI LAMA OF TIBET First published in 1980, this is a classic account of decades of warfare in Vietnam, seen through the eyes of the people in a large central Vietnamese village. This EXPANDED and UPDATED Third Edition also includes forewords to previous editions by Cornell Professor George McT. Kahin and U.S. Senator Eugene J. McCarthy. This is the real-life drama of a Vietnamese village as related by the villagers themselves to the young American who came to live nearby and stayed almost until the collapse of the Saigon government in 1975. We hear from a wide range of Vietnamese, and we gain an understanding of the trauma, confusion, and cruelty of war. With 32 photographs, many of which appear publicly here for the first time. Comments on the Book: "A different kind of story about Vietnam emerges in Village at War." - The New York Times "The Vietnam War, as seen through the eyes of the Vietnamese, is a haunting and absorbing saga." - The Asia Mail "Village at War is a superb and unique contribution to the literature on the Vietnam conflict. Trullinger is remarkably successful at combining an intensive case study of one Vietnamese village with the larger picture of modern Vietnamese political history from French colonialism through the Communist victory in 1975. It is truly an example of scholarship that makes history and politics come alive." - William A. Joseph, Wellesley College "I'm a big admirer of Village at War." - Fredrik Logevall, Harvard University "Thank you very much...for your important book Village at War." - King Norodom Sihanouk, Cambodia "This is a detailed description of how war and revolution swept up a single village in central Vietnam. Trullinger's purpose is to present the conflict 'primarily as villagers experienced it - not to turn My Thuy Phuong into a testing ground for theories and strategies.'... It is successful in describing how one village survived Vietnam's passage from colonialism to independence and socialism." - Journal of Asian Studies "...a well-rounded account of the political and military struggle that engulfed Vietnamese society for 30 years." - Choice "I have used this book in teaching the Vietnam War (as an incident in the history and culture of Vietnam, rather than as U.S. policy) since it was first published (1980). It gives a wonderful level of detail, insights into local community and into actual human beings which gives the study of the war a new dimension. Vietnamese often say something like, 'Vietnam was not a war, it is a country.' This book, coupled with Jeffrey Race's 'War Comes to Long An, Revolutionary Conflict in a Vietnamese Province, ' which is written from a very different political perspective, offers insights into the war that can be gotten no place else. While it is basically an anthropological study and most useful for serious study of the war, it is also very readable." - Jeffrey Barlow, Pacific University (Google Books review) About the Author, Jim Trullinger, Ph.D.: With USAID in Vietnam from 1969-1972. Returned to Vietnam in 1974 to conduct research for this book, sponsored by the East-West Center and the University of Hawaii. In recent decades, Trullinger worked at several large corporations in the U.S. and ran his own market research firm. Now enjoying life in Naples, Florida, at peace with the cosmos. Very pleased to have collaborated on this book with his hero the Dalai Lama. His Holiness' contribution elevates the book in this time of divisions, suffering, and violence. May the book's account of senseless fighting and destruction in one Vietnamese village inspire readers to a path of compassion a

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Seldom does a book take readers so powerfully inside war crimes--both into the pain of the victims and, even more chilling, into the minds of the perpetrators. In a Washington so timid about supporting the international institutions designed to prevent such horrors, this book should be mandatory reading."--Adam Hochschild, author of King Leopold's Ghost: a Story of Greed, Terror and Heroism in Colonial Africa "This searing documentary takes those large abstractions--ethnic cleansing, crimes against humanity--and confronts us with the anguishing reality: the faces of the alleged killers and their victims, stories of shattered families, desolation of a ruined community. The book is also a stunning example of careful, determined pursuit of evidence by frontline human rights workers, our best hope for accountability and justice in the wake of systematic evil. This unparalleled account thus records the worst--and the best--of human capacities."--H. Jack Geiger, M.D., founding member and past president of Physicians for Human Rights "Marshalling precision in the face of obfuscation, clarity in the face of desolation, and lucidity in the face of oblivion, the authors and creators of A Village Destroyed have somehow managed to meld witness and majesty. Truth is beauty--sometimes the only solace left to us--and this is a harrowingly beautiful book."--Lawrence Weschler, author of A Miracle, A Universe: Settling Accounts with Torturers "Gilles Peress's photographs take us where we have never gone before: into the killing zones of Kosovo where ethnic Albanians were tortured, executed, robbed, and driven from the land. Here is an astounding record that will make it impossible for us to say that we never knew what happened in Kosovo or how."--Gloria Emerson, author of Gaza: A Year in the Intifada "A Village Destroyed is a very important book, offering a revealing examination of how contemporary human rights investigations and international efforts to do justice are transforming the context in which great crimes are committed."--Aryeh Neier, President of the Open Society Institute "By some of the best investigators and reporters in the human rights movement, A Village Destroyed helps comfort the afflicted by letting them speak in their own voices. Let us hope it also serves to afflict the comforted."--Juan E. Mendez, Vice-President, Inter-American Commission on Human Rights "This is a groundbreaking work. It is the anatomy of a crime: the destruction of a village. The photographs and witness accounts are of astounding power. The book is crucial for anyone who wants to know what happened in Kosovo."--Laura Silber, co-author of Yugoslavia: Death of a Nation

Book excerpt: A special lavishly illustrated new edition of Michael Foreman's classic story. It's 1914 when everything changes for a group of boys growing up and playing football in the Suffolk countryside. Far away, in a place called Sarajevo, an Archduke has been killed and a web of global events results in a call for all British men to do their duty 'for King and Country' and join the army to fight the germans overseas. The boys sign up for what sounds like an adventure and a chance to see the world. After basic training the boys sail to France where they find themselves fighting on the front line. Living in the trenches in constant fear for their lives is nothing like they expected and only a bombed-out wasteland, no-man's-land, separates their trenches from those of their German enemies. Then, on Christmas Day, something remarkable happens as the German and British armies stop fighting and meet in the middle of no-man's-land. The enemies talk, play football and become friends. But the war isn't over, the two sides resume fighting and the group of Suffolk lads are ordered to charge across no-man's-land... From the author of War Boy, After the War Was Over, Farm Boy and Billy the Kid and the illustrator of Platinum Jubilee picture book There Once Is a Queen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: War and Peace in The Global Village is a collage of images and text that sharply illustrates the effects of electronic media and new technology on man. Marshall McLuhan wrote this book thirty years ago and following its publication predicted that the forthcoming information age would be "a transitional era of profound pain and tragic identity quest." Marshall McLuhan illustrates the fact that all social changes are caused by introduction of new technologies. He interprets these new technologies as extensions or "self-amputations of our own being," because technologies extend bodily reach. McLuhan's ideas and observations seem disturbingly accurate and clearly applicable to the world in which we live. War and Peace in the Global Village is a meditation on accelerating innovations leading to identity loss and war. Initially published in 1968, this text is regarded as a revolutionary work for its depiction of a planet made ever smaller by new technologies. A mosaic of pointed insights and probes, this text predicts a world without centres or boundaries. It illustrates how the electronic information travelling around the globe at the speed of light has eroded the rules of the linear, literate world. No longer can there be fixed positions or goals.

Download or read book Divided Village: The Cold War in the German Borderlands written by Jason B. Johnson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-05-18 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1983, then-US Vice President George H.W. Bush delivered a speech in London. He had just been in West Berlin and spoke about his first visit to the Berlin Wall. Bush then went on to describe another German wall he saw after Berlin: "if anything, that wall was an even greater obscenity than its eponym to the north." The story of that wall is a fascinating and valuable slice of the history of post-war Europe. That wall had gone up nearly two hundred miles southwest of Berlin at the edge of divided Germany, in the tiny, remote farming village of Mödlareuth. For nearly half the twentieth century, the Iron Curtain divided Mödlareuth in two. In this little valley surrounded by forests and fields, the villagers of Mödlareuth found themselves on the literal front-line of the Cold War. The East German state gradually militarized the border through the community while eastern villagers exhibited a range of responses to cope with their changing circumstances, reflective of the variable nature of the Cold War border through Germany: along the Iron Curtain, the size and isolation of the divided place influenced the local character of the division.
