Sinopse

New York State was a center of industry during World War II. New York aviation companies designed many of the greatest combat aircraft of the era, and bustling armies of women and men helped quickly churn them out by the thousands. More than one fourth of all US warplanes came from New York drawing boards during the war. These planes saw combat service everywhere, holding the line in the deserts of North Africa and flying from aircraft carriers plying the vast Pacific Ocean. Others operated over the frozen tundra of Alaska and Siberia. New York aircraft flew tons of fuel, ammunition, and supplies over the treacherous Himalayan Mountains into China, relentlessly hounded enemy submarines and ships, and battered Axis strongholds all the way to victory.

    How to Be Unmothered - A...

    For generations, the women of Camille U. Adams's family have left their daughters. Some follow the siren call of rum, the centuries-old vice which alighted on Trinidad's shores from European ships. Others flee the behind-closed-doors beatings of husbands, fathers, and brothers, rushing into any arms that offer refuge. Some simply disappear, their passage marked by unkept promises and open wounds. 
     
     
     
    As a young girl, Adams finds solace in Trinidad's whispering fever grass, sweet ixora flowers, and the cradling branches of the rose mango tree―all of their roots connecting her to the land's long memory. But where flora gives way to the rank pavement of Covigne Road, gunshots echo and men amass in the doorways of derelict garages, their mouths and hands promising violation. Home offers no safety: just an explosive father, cowed sisters, and a mother whose only reprieve is control. Cloying, suffocating, the maternal embrace threatens to blot out all else. Is it better to be choked, or not to be held at all? 
     
     
     
    Tormented by her mother's presence and haunted by her absence, Camille U. Adams's dazzling debut is a breathtaking account of survival and self-determination, reimagining the meaning of escape, its cost, and what comes after.

  • Forgotten Terrorist Bombings in America: The History of Some of the Earliest Attacks in the United States - cover

    Forgotten Terrorist Bombings in...

    Bombs have been around for centuries. The military units called “Grenadiers” in European armies used throwable black powder bombs, early versions of what today are called grenades. They were heavy, so Grenadiers were tall, strong soldiers able to throw grenades for a distance. Terrorism has been around for many centuries, most infamously the period called The Terror (1793-94) in the French Revolution. However, the combination of bombs and terrorism is considerably more recent, dating to the 1870s and 1880s. 
    	Black powder had been used occasionally for terrorism before the 1800s, with the most famous incident being the Guy Fawkes gunpowder plot to blow up the English Parliament in 1605. Fawkes used barrels of gunpowder rather than a bomb in the modern sense. Terrorism was nothing new in the United States, where, for example, tarring and feathering of Loyalists during the American Revolution was a terror technique designed to quell Tory sentiments. However, terrorists using bombs to accomplish political ends in the United States goes back only about 150 years. That’s partly a result of the rise of political movements seeing violence as legitimate, and partly the result of the development of dynamite. 
    	Alfred Nobel invented dynamite in 1867, making usable a substance that had been invented years before, called nitroglycerine. The substance was known to be a powerful explosive, but it was too unstable and too dangerous to be of much use, until Nobel devised a way to make it stable and usable. Nobel also invented the blasting cap, which would ignite the dynamite, using a fuse that could be lit, and later, allow it to be ignited by an electric charge provided by a battery. Nobel would late in his life feel remorse for the harm his invention had caused, and established the Nobel Prizes as a kind of atonement.

    This book consists of 4 titles, which are: 
    - The French Resistance: The French Resistance is one of the most remarkable and inspiring stories of World War II, a testament to the courage and defiance shown by ordinary people in the face of unimaginable adversity. During the Nazi occupation of France from 1940 to 1944, countless men and women rose to challenge the brutal regime that had taken control of their country. 
    - The Homefront Heroes: The term "homefront" often evokes images of soldiers in trenches or aircraft soaring across the skies, but it is also a powerful representation of the unseen sacrifices and contributions made by civilians during times of war. During World War II, the homefront became an essential element in the overall war effort, with civilians across the world playing critical roles in supporting the troops and maintaining the stability of their countries. 
    - Women at War: Before the outbreak of World War II, women’s roles in society were primarily defined by traditional expectations of domesticity and support. The early 20th century saw most women confined to the home, tasked with caring for children, managing households, and supporting their husbands. While some women worked outside the home, their opportunities were limited to roles deemed suitable for their gender, such as teaching, nursing, and clerical work. 
    - Fighter Aces of World War II: The concept of the "fighter ace" emerged during the early days of aerial warfare, capturing the imagination of the public and military strategists alike. A fighter ace, typically defined as a pilot who has achieved five or more confirmed aerial victories, became a symbol of skill, bravery, and national pride during World War II.
