Beschreibung

Heros von Borcke's "Memoirs of the Confederate War for Independence" offers a unique perspective on the American Civil War through the eyes of a Prussian military officer who served as a cavalry lieutenant under General J.E.B. Stuart. Written with vivid detail and a compelling narrative style, the memoir combines personal anecdotes with military strategy and observations, providing readers with a window into the complexities of the conflict. The work is situated in the context of 19th-century military literature, blending memoir and history, and serves to illuminate not only the battles and tactics of the Confederacy but also the culture and ethos of the Southern states during a time of strife. Born in 1835, von Borcke's experience in the Prussian Army combined with his deep admiration for the Confederate cause shaped his narrative both as an observer and participant. His account reflects the complexities of loyalty, foreign perspectives on American society, and the broader implications of war. His insights echo the struggles of a burgeoning nation while simultaneously providing a European vantage point on American ideals and conflict. "Memoirs of the Confederate War for Independence" is highly recommended for historians, civil war enthusiasts, and anyone intrigued by the personal stories that constitute the fabric of history. Von Borcke's engaging prose and keen observations not only enhance our understanding of the Civil War but also serve as a poignant reminder of the personal sacrifices made during that tumultuous era.

    An analysis of the US prison system through real-life stories, and a look at the complex work of community-based social justice projects. 
     
     
     
    Through the stories of prisoners and their families, including her own family's experiences, Maya Schenwar shows how the institution that locks up 2.3 million Americans and decimates poor communities of color is shredding the ties that, if nurtured, could foster real collective safety. As she vividly depicts here, incarceration takes away the very things that might enable people to build better lives. But looking toward a future beyond imprisonment, Schenwar profiles community-based initiatives that successfully deal with problems—both individual harm and larger social wrongs—through connection rather than isolation, moving toward a safer, freer future for all of us. 
     
     
     
    "Maya Schenwar's stories about prisoners, their families (including her own), and the thoroughly broken punishment system are rescued from any pessimism such narratives might inspire by the author's brilliant juxtaposition of abolitionist imaginaries and radical political practices." —Angela Y. Davis, author of Are Prisons Obsolete?

    This book contains 3 titles, which are about the following topics: 
    Japan's Surrender: The Pacific theater of World War II was a brutal and protracted conflict, defined by fierce battles, shifting strategies, and immense human cost. By 1945, the war had entered its final stages, with the Allied forces, led primarily by the United States, gradually gaining the upper hand over Imperial Japan. The end of the Pacific War seemed inevitable, yet the path to Japan's surrender was far from straightforward. The road to victory in the Pacific involved a combination of military ingenuity, strategic alliances, and significant geopolitical shifts. However, the culmination of this path was not solely the result of battlefield victories but also of profound shifts in the political, economic, and moral considerations of both the Japanese leadership and the Allied powers. 
    Pearl Harbor: The path to the attack on Pearl Harbor was paved by years of escalating tension between Japan, the United States, and other global powers. By the 1930s, Japan had increasingly pursued aggressive territorial expansion in Asia. The country sought to secure resources to fuel its growing industrial machine, leading to its invasion of China and the creation of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. This expansionist ideology put Japan on a collision course with Western powers, particularly the United States, who had significant economic interests in the Pacific region. 
    The Pacific Theater: The Pacific Theater of World War II was the culmination of decades of tension, territorial disputes, and ideological differences between Japan and the Allied Powers, particularly the United States. The roots of the conflict can be traced back to Japan’s rise as an imperial power in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
