Summary

A detailed and fully illustrated look at aerial combat in the closing year of WWII across all theaters of conflict. The final year of World War II witnessed the decline of the piston-engine fighter and the beginning of the jet age. Taking to the skies were tried-and-true fighters, improved versions of old aircraft, and newly developed jets, including prototypes that flew for the first time just before the war ended.   In Air Combat 1945, historian Donald Nijboer examines these dynamic aircraft through hundreds of wartime photographs depicting operations across Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Pacific. This volume covers American Mustangs, Thunderbolts, and Shooting Stars; British Tempests, Spitfires, and Gloster Meteors; German Fw 190s, Bf 109Ks, and Messerschmitt Me 262s; Japanese Ki 100s, Raidens, and Tojos; and many more.
Available since: 06/14/2023.
Print length: 227 pages.

    Is Africa Turning Against the West?

    In the past few years, the evolving global landscape has drawn increasing attention to the positioning of African countries on major international issues. Much emphasis has been placed on African voting and diplomatic stances in international fora, political rhetoric and protests, all seemingly pointing to a shift towards a more critical approach vis à vis traditional Western partners. At the same time, non-alignment, a notion that for some retained a merely historical value, has gained new impetus as a principle guiding a number of countries of the Global South, suggesting a break in the relationship with old and new partners. This report investigates the nature and reasons of the growing anti-Western sentiment in sub Saharan Africa, combining an analysis of the current international context with a look at the long term. Is the gap between Africa and the West really expanding? What are the reasons and the possible consequences? What can be done to turn criticism into a more profound, mutual understanding?

    1984 Nomination Acceptance Address

    On August 23, 1984, at the Dallas Convention Center, Reagan accepts the presidential nomination of the Republican party. Reagan reminds Democrats of the high inflation and interest rates when he took office in 1980 and claims Democrats “never met a tax they didn't like or hike.”  
    In 1981 “we started a policy of tightening the Federal budget instead of the family budget.” Reagan cites an improved “misery index” (the total of the inflation and unemployment rates) and improved poverty levels.  
    “In the 4 years before we took office, country after country fell under the Soviet yoke. Since January 20th, 1981, not 1 inch of soil has fallen to the Communists.” (long applause)  
    America is “more confident than ever” with “the strongest economic growth” and “the fastest rate of job creation”.  
    We support NATO, Israel, and free Latin American States that “struggle to prevent Communist takeovers fueled massively by the Soviet Union and Cuba.” We rescued “American students on the imprisoned island of Grenada.” 
    We oppose deficits, and support a balanced budget amendment, the line-item veto, tuition tax credits, enterprise zones, and lower taxes. There is no room for anti-Semitism or bigotry in the party of Lincoln. 
    With America at peace, “we’re in the midst of a springtime of hope” and see America as “a shining city on a hill.” We look forward to “the Olympic Games here in the United States” and marvel “at the journey of the Olympic torch” across our country.

    Phaedrus is one of the dialogues written by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato, and it explores the nature of love, beauty, and rhetoric. The dialogue is set on a hot summer day outside the walls of Athens, where Socrates and Phaedrus engage in a conversation about love and the art of rhetoric. 
    Throughout the dialogue, Socrates and Phaedrus discuss the power of love to inspire greatness and the role of rhetoric in communication and persuasion. They examine the different types of love and how they relate to beauty, knowledge, and the soul. They also explore the ethical implications of rhetoric and its ability to manipulate people's beliefs and opinions. 
    Phaedrus is one of Plato's most famous works, and it continues to be studied and debated by scholars and philosophers today. Its themes of love, beauty, and rhetoric are central to many philosophical and literary traditions, and its exploration of these concepts continues to be relevant to contemporary discussions in ethics, aesthetics, and communication studies.
