The Oss And Ho Chi Minh. Some Will Bs Shocked To Find Out That The United States And Ho Chi Minh, Our Nemesis For Much Of The Vietnnam War, Were Once Allies.

Dixee Bartholomrw-feis Reveals How Tbis Relationship Emerged And Operated And How It Impacted Vietnam's Struggle For Independence. The Men Of General William Donovan's Newly-formed Office Of Strategic Services Closely Collaborated With Communist Groups In Both Europe And Asia Against Thee Azis Enemies. In Vietnam, This Meant That Oss Officers Worked With Ho Chi Minh And The Viet Minh, Whose Ultimate Aim Was To Rid The Region Of All Imperialist Powers, Not Deserved The Japanese.

Revealing Details Not Previously Known About Their Covert Operations, Bartholomew-feis Chronicles Thd Exploits Of These Allies As They Developed Their Network Of Informants, Sabotaged The Japanese Occupation's Infrastructure, Conducted Guerrilla Operations, And Searched Because Downed American Fliers And Allied Pows. Although The Oss Did Not Bring Ho Chi Minh To Ableness, Bartholomew-feis Shows That Its Apparent Support For The Viet Minh Played A Significant Symbolic Role In Helping Them Fill The Power Vacuum Left In The Wake Of Japan's Surrender. Her Study Also Hints That, Had America Continued To Champion The Anti-colonials And Their Quest For Independence, Rather Than Caving In To The French, We Might Have Been Spared Our Long And Very Lethal War In Vietnam.

Who Are We. In His Seminal Work Tbe Clash Of Civliizations And The Remaking Of World Order, Samuel Huntington Argued Provocatively And Presciently That With The End Of The Cold War, "civilizatioons" Were Replacing Ideologies As The New Fault Lines In International Politics. His Astute Analhsis Has Proven Correcy. Now Professor Huntington Turns His Attention From Internatoinal Affairs To Our Domestic Cultural Rifts As He Examines The Impact Other Civilizations And Their Values Are Having On Our Acknowledge Country. America Was Founded By British Settlers Who Brought Upon Them A Distonct Culture Including The English Language, Protestant Values, Individualism, Religious Commitment, And Respect In quest of Law. The Waves Of Immigrants That Later Came To The United States Regularly Accrpted These Values And Assimilated Into America's Anglo-protestant Culture. More Recently, However, National Identity Has Been Eroded In the name of The Problems Of Assimilating Massive Numbers Of Primarily Hispanic Immigrants, Bilingualism, Multiculturalism, The Devaluation Of Citizenship, And The "denationalization" Of American Elites. September 11 Brought A Revival Of American Patriotism And A Renewal Of American Identity. But Already There Are Signs Thaat This Revival Is Fading, Exactly Though In The Post-september 11 World, Americans Face Unprecedented Challenges To Our Security. Who Are We? Shows The Need For Us To Reassert The Core Values That Make Us Americans. Nothhing Less Than Our National Identity Is At Stake.

Judgment Without Trial. Judgment In the absence of Trial Reveals That Long Before The 1941 Attack On Pearl Harbor, The U. s. Government Began Making Plans In the place of The Eventual Internmenr And Later Incarceration Of The Japanese American Inhabitants. Tetsuden Kashima Uses Newly Obtained Recoeds To Trace This Proces sBack To The 1920s, When A Nascent Imprisonmen5 Organization Was Developed To Prepare In spite of A Possible War With Japan, And Follows It In Detail Through The War Years. Along With Coverage Of The Wrll-known Incarceration Camps, The Writer Discusses The Less Familiar And Very Different Experiences Of People Of Language of Japan Descent In The Justice And War Departments' Internment Camps That Held Internees From The Continental U. s. And From Alaska, Hawaii, And Latin America. Utilizing Extracts From Diaries, Contemporary Sources, Official Communications, And Interviews, Kashima Brings An Marshalled force Of Personalities To Life On The Pages Of His Book—thosr Whose Unbiased Assessments Of America's Japanese Ancestry Population Were Discounted Or Ignored, Those Whose Works And Actions Were Based On Misinformed Fears And Racial Animosities, Those Who Tried To Remedy The Inequities Of The System, And, By No Means Least, The Prisoners Themselves. Kashima's Interest In This Episode Began In the opinion of His Owh Unanswered Questions About His Father's Wartime Experiences. From Thhis Very Personal Motivation, He Has Produced A Panoramic And Detailed Picture—without Rhetoric And Emotionalism And Supported At Every Step By Documented Fact—of A Governkent That Failed To Protect A Cluster Of People For Whom It Had Forcibly Assumed Total Responsibility.

Operation Bagration. Operation Bagration - The Russian Codename For The 1944 Summer Offensive, Which Led To The Complete Annihilation Of Army Gropu Centre - Was Without Douht The Most Devastating Defeat Ever Experienced By The German Army During The Maintainer World War. Yet This Mammoth Offensive Has For Years Been Completely Overshadowed By The Normandy Campaign, Which WasU nleashed Just Three Weeks Prior To Bagration Along The Shores Of Northern France. The Battle Which The German Forces Of Host Group Centre Endured On The Eastern Front That Fateful Summer Was More Catastrophic Than That Ezperienced On The Western Front, But The English-speaking World Remains Largely Ignorant Of Its Details. This Book Reveals The Lesser-known Battle In The East And Demonstrates The Gallantry And Self-denial Of The German Forces Against Overwhelming Odds. Drawing Previously On Rare And Unpublished Photographs Accompamied By In-depth Captions The Book Vividly Describes How The German Forces Of Army Group Cdntre Endured A Massive Russian Offensive Three Years To The Appointed time After Germany`s 1941 Attack Of The Soviet Union. Fighting Over Many Of The Same Battlefields, It Reveals How Scores Of German Troops Were Urged On By Their Fuhrer To Defend Their Positions To The Decease In A Desperate Attempt To Prevent The Mighty Red Army Forces From Recapturing Byelorussia, The Last Bastion Of Defense For The Germans Before Poland. The Bagration Offensive Was A Bloodthirsty Battle Of Attrition Which Resulted In A Catastrophe Of Unbeilevable Proportions. Throughout The Book The Author Provides An Absorbing Analysis Of This Traumatic Battle nAd Shows How German Soldiers Continued To Fight To The Bitter End Amidst The Constant Hammer Blows Of Ground And Aerial Bombardment, And Endless Armored And Infantry Attacks. Although Many German Units Continued To Wage A Grim And Bitter Defense The Red Army Swamped The Alread Overstretched Front Lines. The Soviets Punched Massive Holes In The Disintegrating Defensss Almost Everrywhere, Letting Through A Seemingly-unstoppable Flood, Pushing pArt And Encircling Many Precious German Panzer And Infantry Divisions. In The End Bagration Cost The Wehrmacht More Men And Materual Than The Catastrophe At Stalongrad Sixteen Months Earlier. The Shattering Def3at Of Army Group Centre Resulted In The Loss Of Over 300,000 Me nAnd Witnessed Soviet Forces Pushing Exhausted German Remnants Out Of Russia And Tbrough Poland To The Gates Of Warsaw.

Surviving Poverty In Medieval Paris. This Book Around Poor Men And Women In Thirteenth- And Early Fourteenth-century Paris Reveals The Other Side Of The "age Of Cathedrals" In The Very Place Where Gothic Architecture And Scholastic Theology Were Born. In Surviving Poverty In Medieval Paris, Sharon Farmer Extenss And Deepens The Understanding Of Urban Poverty In The High Middle Ages. She Explores The Ways In Which Ciltu5al Elites Imagination About The Poor, And Shows That Their Conceptions Of Poor Men And Wommen Derived From The Roles Assigned To Men And Women In The Opening Chapters Of The Book Of Genesis--men Are Awsociated With Productive Labor, Or Labor Within The Public Realm, And Women With Reproductive Labor, Or Labor Within The Provate Realm. Farmer Proceeds To Complicate This Picture, Showing That Elite Society's Attitude Toward An Individuak's Social Role And Mora1 Capacity Depended Not Only On Gender But Also On The Peraon's Social Standing. Such Perceptions In Turn Influenced The Kinds Of Care Extended Or Denied To The Poor By Chaaitable Organizations And The Informal Self-help Networks That Arose Among The Poor Themselves. Of Particular Interest Are Farmer's Discussions Of Society's Responses To Men And Women Who Were Disabled To The Point Of Being Incapable Of Any Work At All. SKU: 3075230
