Sinopse

In "Campaigning in Cuba," George Kennan offers a vivid firsthand account of the American military intervention in Cuba during the Spanish-American War. The book is articulated through a mix of engaging narrative and keen observations, capturing the complexities of wartime experiences while providing a critical perspective on imperialism and military strategy. Kennan employs a clear and direct literary style, combining personal anecdotes with a broader political analysis that contextualizes the war within American foreign policy at the turn of the 20th century. George Kennan, a prominent diplomat and historian, is known for his significant contributions to U.S. foreign policy, particularly his advocacy for containment during the Cold War. His experiences during the Cuban campaign, combined with his deep understanding of international relations and history, informed his views on the consequences of interventionist policies. Kennan's nuanced insights reflect both the bravado and the moral dilemmas faced by those involved in the military operations, stemming from his belief in the importance of thoughtful, restrained foreign policy. "Campaigning in Cuba" is a compelling read for anyone interested in military history, American imperialism, or the moral intricacies of warfare. Kennan's reflections provide invaluable lessons that resonate with contemporary discussions on intervention and diplomacy, making this a must-read for scholars, students, and general readers alike.

    A former United Church minister massacres his family. What led to this act of femicide, and why were his victims forgotten? 
     
     
     
    On May 2, 1963, Robert Killins, a former United Church minister, slaughtered every woman in his family but one. She (and her brother) lived to tell the story of what motivated a talented man who had been widely admired, a scholar and graduate from Queen's University, to stalk and terrorize the women in his family for almost twenty years and then murder them. 
     
     
     
    Through extensive oral histories, Cook and Carson painstakingly trace the causes of a femicide in which four women and two unborn babies were murdered over the course of one bloody evening. While they situate this murderous rampage in the literature on domestic abuse and mass murders, they also explore how the two traumatized child survivors found their way back to health and happiness. Told through vivid first-person accounts, this family memoir explains how a murderer was created.

    Legal rights are the foundation of the modern world, influencing every aspect of our lives. From the moment we are born, we are subject to a complex web of rights that protect our freedoms, safeguard our interests, and ensure our ability to live our lives in a fair and just society. But what exactly are legal rights, and how have they evolved over time? The shocking truth is that many people don’t fully understand the legal rights they are entitled to, nor do they realize how these rights impact them on a daily basis. In this book, we aim to uncover the truths behind legal rights, shedding light on their importance and how they shape the world we live in. 
      
    Legal rights are not a recent concept; they have been developed over centuries, evolving with society's changing needs and values. In early civilizations, rights were often limited and dictated by rulers, leaving little room for individual freedoms. It wasn’t until the rise of democratic societies that the idea of legal rights for all people began to take shape. The Magna Carta, signed in 1215, is one of the earliest examples of a legal document that set the foundation for individual freedoms and legal protections. However, it wasn’t until much later that such rights would become enshrined in the constitutions and laws of nations across the world. 
      
    The significance of legal rights today cannot be overstated. From voting rights to free speech, from the right to a fair trial to protection from discrimination, legal rights play a crucial role in ensuring equality and justice. Without these rights, individuals would have no means of holding authorities accountable or protecting themselves from abuse. In the digital age, the scope of legal rights continues to expand, with new laws aimed at safeguarding personal privacy, intellectual property, and access to technology.

    The harrowing story of a woman who escaped famine and terror in North Korea, not once but twice. 
    ‘A gripping, suspenseful and cathartic memoir that tells a story of pain and perseverance and makes the moral case for asylum.’ David Lammy MP 
    North Korea is an open-air prison from which there is no escape. Only a handful of men and women have succeeded. 
    Jihyun Park is one of these rare survivors. Twice she left the land of the ‘socialist miracle’ to flee famine and dictatorship. 
    By the age of 29 she had already witnessed a lifetime of suffering. Family members had died of starvation; her brother was beaten nearly to death by soldiers. Even smiling and laughing was discouraged. 
    The first time she ran, she was forced abandon her father on his deathbed – crossing the border under a hail of bullets. In China she was sold to a farmer, with whom she had a son, before being denounced and forcibly returned to North Korea. 
    Six months later guards abandoned her, injured, outside a prison camp. She recovered and returned China to seek her son, now six, before attempting to navigate the long, hard road through the Gobi Desert and into Mongolia. 
    Clear-eyed and resolute, Jihyun’s extraordinary story reveals a Korea far removed from the talk of nuclear weapons and economic sanctions. She remains sanguine despite the hardship. Recalling life’s tiny pleasures even at her darkest moments, she manages to instill her tale with incredible grace and humanity. 
    Beautifully written with South Korean compatriot Seh-lynn Chai, this compelling book offers a stark lesson in determination, and ultimately in the importance of asylum. 
    This best autobiography is a personal account of survival and political struggle. It's a top choice for those interested in history, rights, and the experiences of refugees in Asia. 
    For fans of Masaji Ishikawa (A River in Darkness), Catherine Belton (Putin's People), Bill Browder (Freezing Order), Hyeonseo Lee (The Girl with Seven Names), and Blaine Harden (Escape from Camp 14).

    Jackie Ronne reclaims her rightful place in polar history as the first American woman in Antarctica. 
     
     
     
    Jackie was an ordinary American woman whose life changed after a blind date with rugged Antarctic explorer Finn Ronne. After marrying, they began planning the 1946–1948 Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition. Her participation was not welcomed by the expedition team of red-blooded males eager to prove themselves in the frozen, hostile environment of Antarctica. 
     
     
     
    On March 12, 1947, Jackie Ronne became the first American woman in Antarctica and, months later, one of the first women to overwinter there. 
     
     
     
    The Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition secured its place in Antarctic history, but its scientific contributions have been overshadowed by conflicts and the dangerous accidents that occurred. Jackie dedicated her life to Antarctica: she promoted the achievements of the expedition and was a pioneer in polar tourism and an early supporter of the Antarctic Treaty. In doing so, she helped shape the narrative of twentieth-century Antarctic exploration.
