Synopsis

In "The Story of Abraham Lincoln," James Baldwin masterfully interweaves historical narrative with incisive social commentary, illuminating the life of one of America's most revered presidents. Baldwin's lyrical prose captures Lincoln's moral complexities and the turbulent era he navigated, presenting a rich contextual backdrop that examines themes of freedom, equality, and human dignity. This work not only serves as a biographical account but also reflects Baldwin's engagement with the African American experience and the continued struggle for civil rights, demonstrating how Lincoln's legacy resonates in contemporary discussions of race and justice. James Baldwin, a prominent African American writer, civil rights activist, and cultural critic, drew upon his own experiences of racial injustice and personal identity to pen this compelling narrative. His inherent passion for social justice and equality, coupled with a deep appreciation for historical figures who challenged systemic oppression, inspired Baldwin to explore Lincoln's life as a lens through which to examine America's ongoing battles with race and identity. Baldwin's unique perspectives, shaped by his background and literary influences, imbue this book with both emotional depth and intellectual rigor. Readers seeking a profound exploration of American history and its enduring relevance are encouraged to delve into Baldwin's "The Story of Abraham Lincoln." This book is essential for those who wish to better understand the complexities of leadership, the moral dilemmas inherent in societal change, and the intricate relationship between historical narratives and contemporary struggles for equality.

    The gripping story of a New Zealand solider who escaped the clutches of a prisoner-of-war camp to join the Yugoslav freedom fighters during the Second World War  
     After a daring escape from a prisoner-of-war camp in occupied Yugoslavia, John Denvir reached the Slovenian capital of Ljubljana, where he joined a partisan band as a machine-gunner. Believed shot and killed by New Zealand forces and his family in New Zealand, from January 1942 until the end of 1943, Denvir led brave and heroic attacks on German and Italian soldiers from behind enemy lines. He was wounded four times, received the Soviet Medal for Valour and was eventually appointed brigade commander. When 'Corporal Frank' was demobilised he returned to New Zealand and became a taxi driver in the small South Island town of Temuka.  
      
      
    Originally published in 1945 and out of print for many years, this is his remarkable true story.

    "Having lived through these experiences and been unable to speak out - not knowing how to use my voice to ask for help - I am thrilled that I am finally being heard and my story is being told." 
    This is a memoir about childhood neglect; childhood sexual abuse; and living in care - but it is also one of the best examples of resilience and survival. 
    Groomed and abused as a child, Liz could easily have crumbled. Instead, she stood up and saw justice done. 
    But Hear Me is more than one woman's story - as remarkable and powerfully written as that story is. 
    It is also a call to arms for the unheard victims across the country. Liz is fiercely passionate about spreading awareness of child neglect, abuse, poverty, living in care and how that can impact people throughout life, and limit their chances of achieving their full potential. 
    She is determined to have an impact on this subject, to be a voice for change. Until these topics are highlighted on prime-time TV, on drive time radio shows, and are discussed around the dinner table and in the playground, abusers will continue to abuse, protected by a blanket of fear. Liz is hopeful her story will contribute to a change in the culture we live in. 
    Despite the horrors she has endured, Hear Me is also a beautifully, sometimes even funny, memoir which will make readers stop in their tracks and really think.

    Theodore Robert Bundy (November 24, 1946 - January 24, 1989) was an American serial killer who abducted, raped and murdered dozens of women and girls between 1974 and 1978. His modus operandi typically consisted of convincing his target that he was in need of assistance or duping them into believing he was an authority figure. He would then lure his victim to his vehicle, at which point he would bludgeon them unconscious, then restrain them with handcuffs before driving them to a remote location to be sexually assaulted and killed. Bundy was executed by the electric chair on January 24, 1989 at Florida State Prison. The following recording is from a 1977 jailhouse tv interview.

    tim cooney's life reads more like an adventure story than a biography. 
    how he went from homeless to being nominated for an oscar is definitely not the usual path.

    The Voice of America (VOA) is the oldest and largest US government-funded international media organization. In 2020, Donald Trump nominated Michael Pack, a right-wing documentarian and close friend of Steve Bannon, to lead the US Agency for Global Media—the independent federal agency overseeing US-funded international media. During Pack's seven month tenure, more than thirty whistleblowers filed complaints against him, and a judge ruled that he had infringed journalists' constitutional right to freedom of speech. 
     
     
     
    How did such a major international public service media network become intensely politicized by government allies in such a short time, despite having its editorial independence protected by law? 
     
     
     
    Capturing News, Capturing Democracy puts these events in historical and international context—and develops a new analytical framework for understanding government capture and its connection to broader processes of democratic backsliding. Drawing from in-depth interviews with network managers and journalists, and analysis of private correspondence and internal documents, Kate Wright, Martin Scott, and Mel Bunce analyze how political appointees, White House officials, and right-wing media influenced VOA—changing its reporting of the Black Lives Matter movement, and the 2020 presidential election.
