Sinopse

In a world beset by uncertainty and strife, General Maxwell Taylor emerged as a beacon of leadership, dedication, and unwavering resolve. "Beyond Duty's Call: The Life and Legacy of General Maxwell Taylor" is a captivating journey through the life of this extraordinary man, whose service to his country spanned decades of war and peace.

From his humble beginnings to his rise to the highest echelons of military power, Taylor's story is one of courage, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to the ideals of freedom and democracy. As a young officer during World War II, Taylor displayed tactical brilliance and strategic vision that would later earn him accolades and decorations. His leadership in North Africa, Italy, and France was instrumental in Allied victories, and his unwavering commitment to his men set him apart as a true leader.

After the war, Taylor served in a series of high-level positions in the Pentagon, including Army Chief of Staff and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. In these roles, he played a pivotal role in shaping American military strategy and policy during some of the most tumultuous decades in history. He was a key figure in the Korean War, the Cold War, and the Vietnam War, and his insights and recommendations helped shape the course of American history.

Taylor's career was not without controversy. His handling of the Vietnam War, in particular, drew criticism from some quarters. However, even his detractors acknowledged his unwavering belief in the importance of defending American interests and values, even in the face of adversity.

Beyond his military career, Taylor was also a gifted writer and historian. He authored several books on military strategy and history, including the acclaimed "The Uncertain Trumpet" and "Responsibility and Response." His writings provide a valuable insight into the mind of a man who dedicated his life to serving his country.

"Beyond Duty's Call" is a comprehensive and engaging biography that captures the essence of General Maxwell Taylor's extraordinary life and career. It is a testament to his unwavering dedication to his country, his men, and the values he held dear.

    Cities define the lives of all those who call them home: where we go, how we get there, how we spend our time. But what if we rethink the ways we plan, live in, and move around our cities? What if we didn't need a car to reach the grocery store? What if we could get back the time we would have spent commuting and put it to other uses? 
     
     
     
    In this fascinating, carefully researched and reported book, longtime Financial Times journalist Natalie Whittle investigates the 15-minute city idea—its pros, cons, and its potential to revolutionize modern living. 
     
     
     
    From Paris, Melbourne, and Rotterdam to Charlotte, North Carolina, and Tempe, Arizona, cities worldwide are being guided by the 15-minute city's ideals—with varying results. By looking at these examples, Whittle considers: 
     
     
     
    ● what really happens when a city expands bike lanes and pedestrian areas—and disincentivizes long commutes 
     
     
     
    ● which approaches to building affordable housing are actually effective 
     
     
     
    ● how neighborhoods of varying wealth are affected by 15-minute city policies 
     
     
     
    This timely book serves as a call to reflect on our cities and neighborhoods—and it outfits us with insights on how to make them more sustainable, safe, and welcoming.

    This book delves into genocide in Palestine, and the war crisis in eastern Europe, West Asia and East Asia. It examines the role of the Big Lie in blunting popular opposition, and describes ways countries around the world and the general public are pressing for peace.  
    The world is in a crisis now. As its empire declines toward collapse, the United States leadership is making a series of disastrous errors. The “neocons” in Washington, DC, are determined to maintain U.S. global domination regardless of what it might take. The stakes are high for them. They seem to believe that if they “allow” any other 
    country to challenge their global leadership, their whole system could fall apart. 
    So they are prepared to do whatever it takes. Supporting genocide in Israel—by providing weapons, money, and a bizarre “moral justification” for horrific genocidal bombing—is a sign of what it takes. Blowing up the Nord Stream pipeline was another sign of what it can take. 
    Western European leaders have been rounded up and bludgeoned into a unified NATO alliance against Russia, and in support of Israeli genocide against Palestinians. This alliance—originally composed of “north Atlantic” countries under U.S. leadership at the end of World War II—is now also being extended to Asia. It’s a quest to curb China’s historic economic success, which threatens Western domination of global trade. 
    A new peace movement is emerging. It faces enormous obstacles, including a gigantic wave of war hysteria engineered in Washington, magnified exponentially by a captive mainstream media that seems to have abandoned all pretense of critical journalistic independence and objectivity. But as facts emerge and truth surfaces, the movement for peace will intensify. 
    Combined with the horrific results of sanctions and war, these facts and truths can be expected to bring ever greater waves of opposition and resistance into the fray.

    Father Charles Coughlin was a controversial Canadian-American Catholic priest based in Michigan. Calling for monetary reforms, the nationalization of major industries and railroads, and protection of the rights of labor, Coughlin used weekly radio broadcasts to reach a mass audience of up to thirty million listeners during the 1930s. An early supporter of Franklin D. Roosevelt and his New Deal, Coughlin later became a harsh critic. Coughlin’s commentary also became more anti-semitic, and he supported some of the fascist policies of Hitler, Mussolini, and Hirohito. As a result, many American Catholic leaders, as well as the Vatican, wanted Coughlin silenced. After the outbreak of World War II in 1939, the Roosevelt administration finally forced the cancellation of his radio program and forbade the dissemination of his newspaper, Social Justice.
