Shadow Workers - Peronist Echoes

Pasquale De Marco

Sinossi

In the heart of 20th-century Argentina, a political movement emerged that would forever change the nation's destiny: Peronism. This book delves into the intricate relationship between Peronism and the Argentine working class, shedding light on the movement's origins, its impact on labor, the economy, and society, and its enduring legacy.

Juan Perón, a charismatic military leader, ascended to power in 1946, promising a new era of social justice and economic prosperity. Peronism quickly gained traction among the working class, who were drawn to its populist message and its emphasis on workers' rights. Perón implemented a series of policies that transformed Argentina, including the nationalization of key industries, the expansion of social welfare programs, and the creation of a powerful labor union movement.

However, Peronism also had a darker side. Perón's government suppressed political dissent and used violence and intimidation to maintain control. The movement's close ties to organized crime and its authoritarian tendencies alienated many Argentines, leading to Perón's eventual overthrow in 1955.

Despite his fall from power, Perón's legacy continued to haunt Argentina. The Peronist movement remained a potent force in Argentine politics, and Perón himself returned to power in 1973. His second presidency was marked by economic instability and political violence, culminating in a military coup in 1976.

The military dictatorship that followed unleashed a wave of terror on Argentina, targeting suspected Peronists and other dissidents. Thousands of people were killed, disappeared, or tortured. The "Dirty War," as it became known, left a deep scar on the nation's psyche.

After the fall of the dictatorship in 1983, Peronism reemerged as a major political force. The Peronist Party has won several presidential elections since then, and its policies have continued to shape Argentina's economic, social, and political landscape.

This book offers a comprehensive analysis of this complex and controversial movement, drawing on a variety of sources, including archival documents, interviews, and scholarly research. It provides a deeper understanding of Peronism's impact on Argentine society and its enduring legacy.

Depression - Causes Solutions...

Maria Garrets

Depression, also known as major depressive disorder, is a common and serious medical illness that negatively affects how a person feels, thinks, and acts. It is characterized by persistent feelings of sadness and a loss of interest in activities once enjoyed. Depression can lead to various emotional and physical problems and can decrease a person’s ability to function at work and at home. 
  
Symptoms of depression can be emotional, physical, or cognitive. Emotionally, individuals may experience persistent sadness, anxiety, or a feeling of emptiness. They might also feel hopeless, pessimistic, irritable, guilty, worthless, or helpless. Physically, depression can lead to decreased energy or fatigue, changes in appetite or weight, sleep disturbances, and unexplained aches or pains. Cognitively, those affected may have difficulty concentrating, remembering things, or making decisions. In severe cases, they may have thoughts of death or suicide or even attempt suicide. 
  
The causes of depression are complex and involve a combination of genetic, biological, environmental, and psychological factors. A family history of depression can increase one's risk, as can chemical imbalances in the brain. Stressful life events such as the death of a loved one, divorce, financial problems, or job loss can also trigger depression. Additionally, negative thinking patterns and low self-esteem can contribute to the development of the disorder.

Erwin Rommel and the Afrika...

Editors Charles River

One of his biographers called him “a complex man: a born leader, a brilliant soldier, a devoted husband, a proud father; intelligent, instinctive, brave, compassionate, vain, egotistical, and arrogant.” As that description suggests, every account of Erwin Rommel’s life must address what appears to be its inherent contradictions. Fittingly, and in the same vein, he remains one of the best remembered generals of World War II and history at large, despite the fact he was on the losing side, and he was defeated at the most famous battle of his career, the decisive Battle of El Alamein. 
With the Axis forces trying to push through Egypt towards the Suez Canal and the British Mandate of Palestine, American forces landed to their west in North Africa, which ultimately compelled Rommel to try to break through before the Allies could build up and overwhelm them with superior numbers. Given that the combined Allied forces under Bernard Montgomery already had an advantage in manpower, Montgomery also wanted to be aggressive, and the fighting would start in late October 1942 with an Allied attack. At Alamein, 195,000 troops in 11 divisions faced off against 50,000 Germans (four divisions) and 54,000 Italians (eight divisions), where they were able to use their superior numbers and weapons to defeat the Axis troops. Over the next few weeks, the Allies made steady progress and forced Rommel to conduct a fighting retreat to safety until his army linked up with another Axis army in Tunisia, but the fighting at the end of 1942 inevitably compelled all Axis forces to quit the theater, the first time since the beginning of the war that Africa was safe for the Allies. 
After leaving North Africa, Rommel spent much of the later part of the war strengthening German defenses across the Atlantic in anticipation of an amphibious Allied landing, which would come in June 1944.
