Beschreibung

E. E. Brown's "The Life and Public Services of James A. Garfield" presents a meticulously researched biographical account of the 20th President of the United States. Incorporating a blend of narrative biography, critical analysis, and historical context, Brown deftly captures Garfield's ascent from humble beginnings to the highest office in the nation. Set against the backdrop of a divided post-Civil War America, the book explores not only Garfield's political ideologies and accomplishments but also his personal struggles and the era's complexities, employing a clear, engaging literary style that is both informative and accessible to the reader. E. E. Brown, a noted historian and scholar, has made significant contributions to the field of American presidential history. His extensive research into the life of Garfield was propelled by an interest in exploring lesser-known aspects of American politics during the 19th century. Brown's academic background, coupled with his fascination for the intricacies of power dynamics and the formative events of Garfield's presidency, enables him to paint a vivid portrait of this often-overlooked leader. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in American history, particularly those keen on exploring presidential biographies and the impact of leadership in challenging times. Brown's thorough examination of Garfield's life not only illuminates the man behind the presidency but also serves as a crucial reminder of the enduring legacies of political figures in shaping the nation's course.

    Many doctors in Germany were convinced that they were the chosen people to create a healthy, racially pure Volkskörper (body of people) and by doing so, establish a racial utopia. As strong supporters of National Socialism, they welcomed the founding of the Third Reich. After Hitler acceded to power, German physicians joined the SS in particular. During the twelve years of the Nazi era, seven percent of German doctors became members of the SS. The average membership of the population was only 0.6 percent. Moreover, doctors were also overrepresented as a profession, with teachers consisting of less than half a percent and musicians only three percent. Only lawyers had a larger share in the SS than doctors. 
    The average income of German doctors increased extremely after 1933, even exceeding the income of lawyers. The Nazi doctors of the human experiments also joined the SS in large numbers. German doctors were far more reluctant to join the NSDAP than the SS. Before 1933, only seven percent of all German doctors joined the NSDAP (Nazi party). They joined the party when it seemed opportune to do so, in 1933, and particularly in 1937. In 1933, physicians made up almost a quarter of all academic professionals in the NSDAP. Most doctors joined the NSDAP in 1937, with a membership rate of 43 percent of the total profession. German physicians sat on the fence during the first years of the Nazi era, insecure about the effects of the new regime on their profession. By 1937, the Third Reich had won the trust of several reasons. The NSDAP had solved the economic crisis and had reorganized the medical profession. Moreover, the regime had solved “the Jewish question” in the medical sector.

    Women Who Invented the Sixties tells the story of how four women helped define the 1960s and made a lasting impression for decades to follow. 
     
     
     
    In 1960, Ella Baker played the key role in the founding of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, which became an essential organization for students during the civil rights movement and the model for the antiwar and women's movements. In 1961, Jane Jacobs published The Death and Life of Great American Cities, changing the shape of urban planning irrevocably. In 1962, Rachel Carson published Silent Spring, creating the modern environmental movement. And in 1963, Betty Friedan wrote The Feminine Mystique, which sparked second-wave feminism and created lasting changes for women. Their four separate interventions helped, together, to end the 1950s and invent the 1960s. 
     
     
     
    Women Who Invented the Sixties situates each of these four women in the 1950s—Baker's early activism with the NAACP and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, Jacobs's work with Architectural Forum and her growing involvement in neighborhood protest, Carson's conservation efforts and publications, and Friedan's work as a labor journalist and the discrimination she faced—before exploring their contributions to the 1960s and the movements they each helped shape.

    These are some of the bullet points in the resume of author/musician Bill Cinque. THE AMAZING ADVENTURES OF A MARGINALLY SUCCESSFUL MUSICIAN is an educational and entertaining look at the world of music. 
      
    Honest, insightful and often humorously brutal, Cinque speaks to the beginner, the seasoned pro and the non-musician “civilian” in a unique and refreshing voice about the rehearsals, recordings and rejections in the life of a self-described “blue collar, working class musician.”

    Many people remain fascinated by stories about the Cold War, particularly the espionage that was covertly conducted across the globe by both sides. Indeed, from the beginning of the Cold War, there were hundreds if not thousands of spies positioned in each side’s governments. Some worked as double agents, while others worked to plant pivotal pieces of information or disinformation to persuade government officials within these warring countries. 
    Inevitably, some of the Cold War’s most shadowy actions involved trying to turn Soviet assets, whether for propaganda or intelligence purposes, but the Soviet system constantly had to worry about defections, as evidenced by the construction of the Berlin Wall in the early 1960s. That said, while the whistleblowers may be celebrated if they damage the public relations of an adversary, they can be controversial if they damage one’s own country, as evidenced by the polarizing reputations of individuals like Edward Snowden and Julian Assange. 
    During Congressional testimony concerning President Kennedy’s assassination many years after Anatoliy Golitsyn’s defection, James Jesus Angleton claimed he was “probably without any question the most major defection since World War II as far as Soviet intentions, Soviet organization, and Soviet operations are concerned.” He would later become a voice for the Soviets’ disinformation strategy through his studies and his work as a KGB agent and with the CIA’s Counterintelligence Unit. Golitsyn became disenchanted with Moscow and the Soviet way of life after having spent his life protecting it. 
    Thanks to his schooling and training, Golitsyn had deep inside knowledge of the USSR’s (communist) strategy to rule the world. Angleton, the chief of the CIA’s Counterintelligence Unit, was a huge supporter and believer of Golitsyn’s ideas and theories.
