New Guinea Wars

Summary

“New Guinea Wars” explores the intricate history of Papua New Guinea, focusing on the interplay between centuries of tribal warfare and colonial military intervention. It examines how traditional conflict evolved under colonial influence, directly contributing to the political instability and ethnic divisions that plague the nation post-independence. One intriguing fact is that warfare held significant cultural importance in pre-colonial societies, serving as a means of social organization and dispute resolution. Understanding these historical forces is crucial for grasping Papua New Guinea’s contemporary challenges in nation-building and resource management.

 
The book progresses chronologically, beginning with pre-colonial tribal societies and their customary methods of conflict. It then investigates the encroachment of colonial powers, particularly Australia, and their subsequent military interventions. These interventions, while aiming to suppress conflict, often exacerbated tensions and shaped the political structures in ways that continue to resonate today.

 
The book draws on archival documents, anthropological studies, and oral histories to provide a holistic understanding of these complex historical forces, offering valuable insights for students, researchers, and anyone interested in the history of the Pacific region.

History of Denmark - A...

Captivating History

For centuries, Denmark "punched above its weight" and was a major player on the European stage. Many know about the Danish Vikings and their voyages of conquest and discovery, but Denmark is more than just those medieval raiders and traders, even though interest in their adventures is at an all-time high today.
Denmark became the first Scandinavian country to convert to Christianity, though this was likely as much to protect themselves from Christian kingdoms to the south and to increase their trade with Christian nations than any love for Christian beliefs.
Denmark has been at peace since WWII, but its position between the North and Baltic Seas makes it an important part of NATO, allowing it to once more "punch above its weight." But despite its location, Denmark has managed to not only remain at peace but is today ranked as one of the happiest nations on Earth.
You will discover many astounding facts about Denmark's history in this book. Discover the answer to fascinating questions like the following:

- Does Denmark really appear in the top three of the world's "happiest" countries?
- Were the Danish Vikings only interested in conquest? And what were their relations like with Europe before the Viking Age?
- Who was Cnut the Great, and why was he so important in the history of countries like England, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden?
- Who the current Danish royal family is descended from? (Hint: it is not a Dane!)
- How and when did Denmark establish the wide-ranging social safety net it is so well-known for today?
- What role did Germany play in Denmark losing its status as an offensive military power? What was life like for Danish Jews during WWII?  
You'll find these answers and many more in Captivating History's History of Denmark!

The Marauders - Standing Up to...

Patrick Strickland

This real-life Western tells the story of how citizens in a small Arizona border town stood up to anti-immigrant militias and vigilantes. 
 
 
 
The Marauders uncovers the riveting nonfiction saga of far-right militias terrorizing the border towns of southern Arizona. In one of the towns profiled, Arivaca, rogue militia members killed a man and his nine-year-old daughter in 2009. In response, the residents organized and spent two years trying to push  the new militias out through boycotts and by urging local businesses to  ban  them. The militias and vigilante groups again raised the stakes, spreading Pizzagate-style conspiracy theories alleging that town residents were complicit in child sex trafficking, prompting fears of vigilante violence. 
 
  
 
The Marauders flips the standard formula most often applied to stories about immigration and the far right. Too often those stories are told from the perspective of the ones committing the violence. While Strickland doesn't shy away from exploring those dark themes, the far right are not the protagonists of the book. Rather, the people targeted by hate groups, and the individuals who rose up to stop them in their tracks, are the heroes of this dramatic story.
