    Uncertain Allies - General...

    Uncertain Allies looks at the United States military's experience in the China-Burma-India (CBI) theater during World War II through the eyes of Joseph Stilwell, the commanding general of American forces in those three countries. Historian Eric Setzekorn focuses on two themes: uncertain allies and ambiguous missions. 
     
     
     
    Despite being allies, relationships between the Americans and Chinese, as well as Americans and the British, were marked by a lack of trust in the CBI theater. This was problematic because most combat personnel under Stilwell's command were Chinese. The lack of trust impacted tactical and operational planning. The second reoccurring theme, ambiguous missions, refers to the poorly defined goals for the theater. The CBI's mission was vague, and Stilwell lacked clear objectives. 
     
     
     
    Underlying both themes is the key flaw in Stilwell's conduct: a failure to understand the American political context. Stilwell advocated for a transactional military and political relationship despite indications that President Roosevelt, other leaders, and the American public desired a long-term cooperative relationship. Stilwell's proposals to make military aid and American support on a quid pro quo basis inevitably ran into staunch opposition. The result was a dangerous disconnect between American military operations and national policy.

    This book uncovers the narratives of Iranians, mainly women, who lead Iran's fight for liberation. Their firm pursuit of justice compelled me to capture their extraordinary journey, transcending borders and beckoning worldwide attention. I remain anonymous, this choice isn't about seeking recognition; it's driven by necessity, stemming from threats to my family in Iran. This cloak of anonymity shields my dedication to truth, safeguarding my loved ones from imminent danger. In a world where oppression knows no boundaries, my cherished American freedoms bear a dual edge. Once a shield, the First Amendment now underscores the cost of dissent. Iran's influence reminds us that tyranny recognizes no borders. Remember the failed attempt on the life of Iranian American journalist Masih Alinejad of Persian Voice of America, stands as a testament to this global impact. This work is more than a mere story; it's a heartfelt plea to the world, urging champions of freedom to unite. The persecution of Iran's writers, stifling of voices, and incarceration of activists reverberate as part of a systemic oppression that erodes our shared humanity. Look closer at the faces of individuals like Mahsa Amini and countless others who lost their lives, Nasrin Sotoudeh, an imprisoned Iranian Lawyer, and Narges Mohammadi, a relentless human rights activist. They symbolize a deeply rooted struggle. My words carry the weight of risk for my family, echoing the silenced voices within Iran. This extends beyond my family – countless lives sway under the influence of those in power. Remember, violations of human rights leave a stain on us all. Together, we must demand accountability and uphold our cherished values. My concealed identity isn't a withdrawal but an outstretching hand for unity, change, and justice. Join the chorus of defiance; only united can we liberate oppressed voices from their shackles. Stand firm against the darkness; our strength lies in unity.

    “The revolution is not an apple that falls when it is ripe. You have to make it fall.""The life of a single human being is worth a million times more than all the property of the richest man on earth.""I am not a liberator. Liberators do not exist. The people liberate themselves.” CHE GUEVARAIn this unique audio primer and celebration of the inspirational life and great work of revolutionary and social reformer Commandante Ernesto Rafael 'Che" Guevara de la Serna Lynch. Ernesto was born June 14, 1928, in Rosario, Argentina, in a family with aristocratic roots but strong socialistic ideals. In June of 1955 young Ernesto met Raul Castro. On July 8th Fidel Castro arrived in Mexico to join his brother and Ernesto. When Fidel met Che "he was already an educated revolutionary.” Remembers Castro. The great Cuban revolution against tyranny soon followed and was won chiefly because of the dedication of the Castros and Dr. Guevara. On October 8, 1967, in the village La Higuera, Bolivia, Che, and two comrades fell into the hands of the army. A Bolivian colonel and the representatives of the CIA arrived by helicopter. It was decided to murder Che and his comrades Willy Cuba and Juan Pablo Chang immediately. A nervous, young low-level Bolivian soldier did the job, Che, the icon and hero of all hearts and minds, however, live forever!

    Creation is a foundational pillar of the biblical storyline, yet it plays little role in contemporary evangelical ethics. Seeking to correct this oversight, Dennis Hollinger employs the creation story and creation themes throughout Scripture as a foundation for Christian ethics. 
     
    After demonstrating why creation is theologically significant and important for Christian ethics, Hollinger develops major creation paradigms that provide ethical guidance on a wide range of issues, including money, sex, power, racism, creation care, social institutions, and artificial intelligence, among many others. Creation and Christian Ethics shows throughout that the triune God creates from love, and in that creation are moral designs for humanity's journey in God's world. 
     
    Professors and students of Christian ethics will find this a valuable resource for the classroom, while pastors and church leaders will benefit from personal and small-group study.
