Beschreibung

Political Sculptures explores the compelling intersection of art and politics, revealing how three-dimensional works have served as powerful tools of propaganda, symbols of authority, and catalysts for political resistance. The book uncovers how sculptures, far from being mere decorations, actively shape public opinion and impact political landscapes. For example, imperial portraiture in ancient Rome wasn't just art; it deified rulers, while Renaissance civic sculptures embodied the power of burgeoning city-states. The book investigates strategic deployments of sculpture as propaganda, examining how ruling elites throughout history have commissioned works to legitimize their power and disseminate ideologies. It also analyzes instances where artists and marginalized groups have subverted these monumental displays, using sculpture as a medium for political dissent and resistance. By drawing from diverse sources, including art historical scholarship and primary documents, Political Sculptures provides a framework for understanding the complex interplay between art, power, and society. The book begins by defining political sculpture and its historical scope, progressing through case studies across different eras to demonstrate the use of sculpture for political purposes. It concludes by showing how understanding political sculpture can provide valuable insights into contemporary political symbolism and its impact, even addressing debates surrounding the removal of controversial monuments.

    Details how the US State Department attempted, and failed, to save South Vietnam from North Vietnamese aggression and the powerful domestic political influences that ultimately led to America's defeat. 
     
     
     
    Ten years after the end of the American involvement in the Vietnam War, a career Foreign Service officer, Thomas J. Corcoran, set down in writing his thoughts on the history of US State Department policy during America's involvement with South Vietnam. Like many Americans of his generation, he was perplexed by the failure of America to achieve its goals in South Vietnam. As an ambassador and with over thirty years of diplomatic experience—beginning in 1948 when he was assigned to Hanoi and involving other postings in Southeast Asia—he brought to his analysis a long and rich personal experience with events in Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. 
     
     
     
    The result is a thoughtful, objective, and well-researched study that chronicles the key policy decisions made by the US State Department throughout the entire period from 1945 to 1975; decisions that ultimately led to the first war lost by the United States. In his extensive study, Corcoran does an excellent job of exposing many of the myths and falsehoods found in orthodox histories of US involvement in Vietnam.

Hacking College offers college advisors, faculty, and staff in student and academic affairs a groundbreaking guide to rethinking higher education so that students can succeed in an increasingly complex world. Drawing from extensive research and real student experiences, this essential book exposes the hidden challenges and bureaucratic traps that undermine student success, from convoluted transfer processes to a single-minded emphasis on majors. 
     
     
     
    Each chapter provides strategies to help advisors lead students to tailor their education to their aspirations.

    The 2nd Ranger Infantry Company (Airborne) was the first and only all-black Ranger unit in the history of the United States Army. The 2nd and 4th Rangers were among the units initially assigned to the Eighth Army and were considered to be "combat ready." The 2nd Ranger Company battled North Korean and Communist Chinese Forces. The 2nd Ranger Company conducted the first airborne assault in Ranger history near the town of Munsan-ni and executed the heroic attack and defense of Hill 581. The men demonstrated courage, served with honor, and achieved a magnificent combat record. 
     
     
     
    Edward Posey's The US Army's First, Last, and Only All-Black Rangers is the first complete history of this elite all-volunteer unit whose members were drawn from the 3rd Battalion of the 505th Airborne Infantry Regiment and the 80th Airborne Anti-Aircraft Battalion. As a member of the unit, Posey bases his account on firsthand experience, official records, interviews with survivors, and other material to produce a rich and worthy addition to the growing literature on the Korean War. Posey's study explains the obstacles these patriotic men faced, their sacrifices, and their courageous actions. 
     
     
     
    More than fifty years after the end of the war, the world will learn the true story of the United States Army's first, only, and last all-black Ranger unit.
