Synopsis

"Western Samoa" explores the captivating story of this Pacific island nation, examining its transformation from a pre-colonial society through German and New Zealand administrations to its hard-won independence. The book illuminates Samoa's nation-building journey, focusing on the influences of colonialism, decolonization, and the forging of a sovereign nation.

 
Did you know that the Mau movement, a powerful Samoan independence movement, played a crucial role in challenging colonial rule? Or that the drafting of a constitution and the establishment of a parliamentary democracy marked a pivotal moment in Samoa's path to self-determination? This historical narrative showcases the agency of the Samoan people in shaping their own destiny, challenging simplistic views of colonial oppression.

 
Utilizing primary sources like colonial archives and oral histories, the book adopts a multi-faceted approach, blending historical analysis with insights from anthropology and political science. From examining German economic policies to analyzing New Zealand's governance approach, the book progresses chronologically, providing a nuanced and comprehensive view of Samoan history. It also connects Samoa's historical journey to broader themes in world history.

    In Speak of It, Marcos McPeek Villatoro explores how he channeled his Latino roots to come to terms with the childhood sexual abuse he suffered at the hands of a relative in his home in Appalachia, and he recounts his ensuing struggle with trauma and mental illness. 
     
     
     
    The son of a Salvadoran mother and Scotch Irish mechanic father, Marcos spent much of his life trying to break away from his Southern Appalachian past and the trauma experienced there and striving to get closer to his Salvadoran heritage. His journey includes steeping himself in the Spanish language and Latin American literature, especially the work of Gabriel García Marquez; a stint in Nicaragua with Witness for Peace, followed by missionary work in Guatemala; and social-justice work with Mexican migrant farmworkers in Alabama. Each experience brought him closer to understanding where he came from and to forging an identity as a whole self in the wake of trauma. 
     
     
     
    Riveting, horrifying, moving, and inspiring, Speak of It is a testament to the healing power of language, books, and identity.

    Let Me Down offers a vivid and vulnerable account of an abusive relationship
    		 
    At 18, Callie’s encounter with Reed, a brooding photographer six years her senior, begins a youthful infatuation. But as their relationship deepens, what once seemed like innocent passion soon morphs into a cycle of manipulation, control, and violence.
    		 
    Callie shares the complexity of falling in love with someone who also hurt her — emotionally, physically, and sexually. Through her clear-eyed storytelling, she grapples with the blurred lines of consent, shame, and trauma and explores how these toxic dynamics seeped into every corner of her life. Her process of extracting herself from Reed’s universe reveals the psychological toll of abuse that doesn’t always leave visible scars but is no less damaging.
    		 
    Let Me Down provides a candid reflection on the realities of modern relationships, highlighting issues like gaslighting, mental health, and the impact of social media on survivors. With delicate intimacy and literary sensibility, O’Reilly’s memoir charts the complex and nonlinear path of self-acceptance, healing, and reclaiming one’s life from the lingering effects of trauma.

    The Attack on Taranto -...

    On November 11, 1940, 21 slow, canvas-covered British warplanes, launched from the carrier Illustrious, attacked the harbor at the Italian port of Taranto and put most of the Italian navy out of commission. This all-but-forgotten operation, the authors argue, deserves historical recognition as an inspirational precedent for the Japanese raid on Pearl Harbor 13 months later. Taranto demonstrated that battleships in a shallow, heavily defended harbor could be sunk by a handful of torpedo-bombers. That lesson Adm. Isoroku Yamamoto, commander-in-chief of the Japanese fleet, learned well-while the American military virtually ignored it.   “By this single stroke the balance of naval power in the Mediterranean was decisively altered.” –Winston S. Churchill

    Trafalgar: the full story of one of the most famous naval engagements in history 
     
    During the Napoleonic Wars, the British Royal Navy faced French and Spanish fleets off the southwestern coast of Spain in one of the most recognized naval engagements in history. In the latest installment of the Great Battles series, John B. Hattendorf orients listeners to the battle of Trafalgar. 
     
    In Trafalgar, Hattendorf places equal emphasis on all sides of the conflict and its legacy. His focus on initial reports of the battle highlights the ways in which these records differ, complement, and contribute to broader, historical accounts in order to illustrate the variety and range of commemorations that took shape across different artistic outlets in the years that followed. Hattendorf considers Trafalgar's appearance in popular culture through contemporary poetry, pamphlets, newspapers, caricatures, and popular prints, and addresses the battle's presence in professional naval cultures around the world. 
     
    With its focus on interpretation, close analysis, and scholarly research, this new volume in the Great Battles series offers an engaging overview of Trafalgar's memorialization throughout the years.
