Book Synopsis A Pact of Ages by : John Eyong Mengot
Download or read book A Pact of Ages written by John Eyong Mengot and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2009 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Pact of Ages is the love story of the twin princess Omosivbhé and her lover Ofuobi rendered awry by her spirit twin sister Amakaribhé with whom they entered into a covenant to share everything before coming into the human world. The practice where slaves are groomed in the palace to accompany the king or queen to join the ancestors is the leitmotiv. The narrator tells us how these slaves are slashed or wounded with special knives and concoctions and incense rubbed on their bodies as a rite of purification before being buried alive with the dead king or queen. Will the White Man of God succeed in putting an end to these practices? Will the village Priest - custodian of customs - convince his people to see the white man in his true colours? Will he bring them to reject the white man's God? This is a tale in which the natural and the supernatural intermingle to depict the timeless, spaceless, and ageless nature of the charms, beliefs and practices of an African society.

Book Synopsis Seapower in the Nuclear Age by : Joel J. Sokolsky
Download or read book Seapower in the Nuclear Age written by Joel J. Sokolsky and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-01-27 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, first published in 1991, provides a major analysis of the prelude to the US’s Cold War maritime strategy, showing how NATO’s maritime forces were organised in the period. It examines how the United States Navy and allied navies, particularly the Royal Navy, were incorporated into the Alliance’s nuclear and conventional deterrent forces. It looks at the structure of the main naval commands, the growth of Soviet maritime forces and the impact of the flexible response strategy on NATO’s naval posture in the 1970s. Drawing upon many declassified documents, this account fills an important gap in postwar literature on American seapower and its relation to European security. It also addresses important aspects of NATO strategy and organisation.

Book Synopsis The Age of Hiroshima by : Michael D. Gordin
Download or read book The Age of Hiroshima written by Michael D. Gordin and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-01-14 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A multifaceted portrait of the Hiroshima bombing and its many legacies On August 6, 1945, in the waning days of World War II, the United States dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. The city's destruction stands as a powerful symbol of nuclear annihilation, but it has also shaped how we think about war and peace, the past and the present, and science and ethics. The Age of Hiroshima traces these complex legacies, exploring how the meanings of Hiroshima have reverberated across the decades and around the world. Michael D. Gordin and G. John Ikenberry bring together leading scholars from disciplines ranging from international relations and political theory to cultural history and science and technology studies, who together provide new perspectives on Hiroshima as both a historical event and a cultural phenomenon. As an event, Hiroshima emerges in the flow of decisions and hard choices surrounding the bombing and its aftermath. As a phenomenon, it marked a revolution in science, politics, and the human imagination—the end of one age and the dawn of another. The Age of Hiroshima reveals how the bombing of Hiroshima gave rise to new conceptions of our world and its precarious interconnectedness, and how we continue to live in its dangerous shadow today.
Book Synopsis The Age of Catastrophe by : Heinrich August Winkler
Download or read book The Age of Catastrophe written by Heinrich August Winkler and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2015-01-01 with total page 1013 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of Germany's leading historians presents an ambitious and masterful account of the years encompassing the two world wars Characterized by global war, political revolution and national crises, the period between 1914 and 1945 was one of the most horrifying eras in the history of the West. A noted scholar of modern German history, Heinrich August Winkler examines how and why Germany so radically broke with the normative project of the West and unleashed devastation across the world. In this total history of the thirty years between the start of World War One and the dropping of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Winkler blends historical narrative with political analysis and encompasses military strategy, national identity, class conflict, economic development and cultural change. The book includes astutely observed chapters on the United States, Japan, Russia, Britain, and the other European powers, and Winkler's distinctly European perspective offers insights beyond the accounts written by his British and American counterparts. As Germany takes its place at the helm of a unified Europe, Winkler's fascinating account will be widely read and debated for years to come.
