  End of World War II in the...

  By the spring of 1943, American military planners had begun to create a plan to dislodge Japan from east and southeast Asia. To do so, parts of the Philippines were considered main strategic points in the potential Allied attack in the Pacific. The end goal of the Allied plan was an invasion of the Japanese home islands, in which heavy aerial bombardment would precede a ground assault. In order for this to occur, Allied forces would have to occupy areas surrounding Japan, with China adding to Luzon (the largest island in the Philippines) and Formosa (a large island off the coast of China) to create a triangle from which they could launch their bombers. 
  When Admiral Chester Nimitz was directed to capture an island in the Bonin group, Iwo Jima stood out for its importance in making progress against the mainland, with three airfields that would allow American air forces to attack the Japanese mainland. But the Japanese were also well aware of how important Iwo Jima was, and they fought desperately in bunkers and tunnels that required the Americans to carefully clear them out gradually.  
  Near the end of 1944, as Allied forces were pushing across the Pacific and edging ever closer to Japan, plans were drawn up to invade the Ryuku islands, the most prominent of them being Okinawa. Given the horrific nature of the combat, and the fact that it was incessant for several weeks, it’s no surprise that Okinawa had a profound psychological effect on the men who fought, but it also greatly influenced the thinking of military leaders who were planning subsequent campaigns, including a potential invasion of the Japanese mainland. The casualty tolls at Okinawa ultimately helped compel President Truman to use the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in an effort to end the war before having to attempt such an invasion.

  The Body Myth

  The Body Myth will transform the way a generation of women think, not just about one single aspect of being female, but about their lifetime experience of the female body. 
  The female body has been misunderstood for centuries. 
  Declared defective. Pathologised. Controlled. Exploited 
  In The Body Myth, feminist writer and birth activist Milli Hill exposes the stories we’ve been told about being female and replaces them with a new narrative: women are powerful, strong and perfect just as we are. 
  From menstruation to menopause, female biology has been misunderstood, medicalised, sexualised and sold back to us as a problem to fix. The result? A world in which women doubt their own strength, knowledge and instincts — while industries profit from their insecurity. 
  Moving from the mirror to the clinic, from the clitoris to childbirth, Milli reveals how culture, medicine and history have misread women’s lives and why reclaiming a new understanding of female power is long overdue. 
  Bold, eye-opening and deeply empowering, The Body Myth invites women to see themselves differently. Because being female was never the problem. It has always been the source of incredible power. 
  Readers can't get enough of Milli's no-holds-barred writing: 
  'I love your books' J. K. Rowling 
  'One of my very favourite birth writers' Ricki Lake 
  'Milli is a compassionate and passionate writer who puts women squarely at the heart of her endeavors' Emma Barnett

  When the World War I set Europe and the other nations of the world on flames including the American public opinion, soon began under the influence of the war prejudice and propaganda the denouncement of the German army and the Kaiser as they were held responsible for the outbreak of the World War I. However, many writers and historians across the world have failed to give in or join the chorus. The historical sense of many writers and historians have told them that in the present case or in the past, not just country or just one man was solely responsible for the outbreak of such an epidemic and holocaust which left the entire world into shatters and upheavals. 
  A little study and the speculations of the various diplomatic documents like the White, Yellow, Blue, and Orange pieces of literature which were earlier issued by the English, French, German and Russian Governments; had convinced the writers of the world that these diplomatic documents were not relevant and reliable enough to come to the conclusion of holding Germany and a single person as the sole responsibility of aggravating the warlike situations in the World during the phase of the World War I. 
  However, the new socialist governments of Austria and Germany in 1919 had published a very complete and reliable collection of diplomatic documents from the secret archives which were related to the diplomatic crisis of July 1914; and seemed reliable enough to provide the information or materials for reaching some tentative point of opinion or conclusion about the possible and immediate causes of the World War I. The American Historical Review which was published during the time of 1920-21 called to the attention of the scholars from worldwide that there was a need to reconsider the opinions or conclusions that were formed during the heat of the battle as to the immediate causes of the World War I and the ones who were responsible for causing it. The publication of more diplomatic documents during this era especially from the sources of the Russian province, along with the refusal of the British and the French governments to issue any completed documents or convincing records of their conduct during the time of July, 1914; there rose a group of writers and literature experts in history who demanded the revision of the clause in the Treaty of Versailles which declared that Germany and some of its allies were responsible for the outbreak of the World War I. Some of the writers especially the anti-Poincare writers or the revisionists in France, the final opinion or the conclusion was in danger of swinging as far as the golden meaning of the historical truth were formerly followed in the path of the great historians.
