Sinopsis

George Washburn joined the New York Tribune as a rookie reporter soon after the American Civil War broke out in 1861. He was assigned to follow the Union army’s commander, General George McClellan, to assess his ability to prevent the Rebel army under Robert E Lee and Stonewall Jackson from rampaging in Maryland and occupying the capital, Washington. After scrapes and scraps at the bloody Battle of Antietam, Washburn rides horseback, train and ferry to New York to deliver his account of the action, his assessment of the generals and his analyses of whether the state of the conflict will allow President Lincoln to add freedom for slaves to his war aims. The Civil War created immense thirst for news which was eagerly satisfied by newspaper proprietors already engaged in circulation wars. Larger and faster presses printed millions of papers and illustrated weeklies for millions of literate Americans and their armies on the move. Railroads and their accompanying electric telegraphs spread news – and fake news - across the continent. The Tribune published Washburn’s scoop in a special edition on Saturday 20 September 1862, two and a half days after the battle ended. It was syndicated to 180 papers across the world. That night George Washburn, the Father of War Reporters, celebrated with his fellow correspondents, the self-styled Bohemians, in their favorite watering hole at Pfaff’ Cave under Broadway – in the arms of Ida Godiva, the bareback rider from Vaudeville.

    Charity - The Heat of Generosity...

    Charity is more than just an act of giving; it is a profound expression of humanity’s compassion and interconnectedness. It goes beyond financial donations and extends to time, effort, and kindness. True charity is rooted in the desire to uplift others without expecting anything in return. It is an act of selflessness that fosters unity, strengthens communities, and creates a ripple effect of goodness in society. 
    Throughout history, generosity has been a defining trait of civilizations. Ancient cultures placed great emphasis on the duty to help the less fortunate, often tying charitable deeds to religious and moral obligations. From the communal support systems of indigenous tribes to the organized relief efforts of modern philanthropic institutions, the essence of charity has remained the same—helping those in need and making the world a better place. Whether through structured organizations or spontaneous acts of kindness, the spirit of giving has shaped societies and continues to do so today. 
    The impact of charity is not limited to the recipients alone. Studies have shown that giving has profound psychological and emotional benefits for the giver. The act of helping others releases endorphins, creating a sense of fulfillment and happiness. It also fosters a greater sense of purpose, reinforcing the idea that individuals have the power to make a difference, no matter how big or small their contributions may be. Many people who engage in charitable acts find themselves experiencing a deeper connection to their community, leading to a greater sense of belonging and overall well-being.

    The Italians were defeated at Adwa in 1898. But by 1935, they were playing for keeps. Learn more about the devastating Italian invasion of Ethiopia. 
    Although the Ethiopians had beaten the Italians at their own game in the 1898 Battle of Adwa, when Italian armored divisions began pouring out of Italian-controlled Eritrea in 1935, the situation seemed almost impossible to overcome. This was not 1898 when the Italians were ill-equipped and ill-advised in their undertakings. The Italians had made sure they were guaranteed the upper hand. They had the best tanks and the best aircraft they could get their hands on. 
    The Ethiopians had no tanks and only a handful of old planes. Their arms were also hopelessly outdated. They were not much better than the weaponry they had used back in 1898. The Italians were determined to win this time around, and few thought the Ethiopians had much of a chance.  
    Although Ethiopian armaments left much to be desired, Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailie Selassie placed much of his hope in an international body known as the League of Nations. He ultimately had to flee his country when the Italians poured in. Selassie would continue to harangue the League of Nations from exile.  
    But what happened after this? And what exactly happened during the invasion itself? This audiobook aims to explore just that. Explore why the Italians wanted Ethiopia to begin with, and discover the story of Ethiopians who were willing to fight and die for the freedom of their country. 
    In this audiobook, you will learn:The geopolitical background before the invasionHow the invasion was planned and what it entailedThe major battles fought during the Second Italo-Ethiopian WarThe exile of Haile Selassie and how he continued to take a stand in exileWhat happened to Ethiopia

    Preparing for War - The...

    The insurrection at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, was not a blip or an aberration. It was the logical outcome of years of a White evangelical subculture's preparation for war. Religion scholar and former insider Bradley Onishi maps the origins of White Christian nationalism and traces its offshoots in Preparing for War. 
     
     
     
    Combining his own experiences in the youth groups and prayer meetings of the 1990s with an immersive look at the steady blending of White grievance politics with evangelicalism, Onishi crafts an engrossing account of the years-long campaign of White Christian nationalism that led to January 6. How did the rise of what Onishi calls the New Religious Right, between 1960 and 2015, give birth to violent White Christian nationalism during the Trump presidency and beyond? What propelled some of the most conservative religious communities in the country—communities of which Onishi was once a part—to ignite a cold civil war? 
     
     
     
    Through chapters on White supremacy and segregationist theologies, conspiracy theories, the Christian-school movement, purity culture, and the right-wing media ecosystem, Onishi pulls back the curtain on a subculture that birthed a movement and has taken a dangerous turn.
