Battle Below - The War of the Submarines

Robert J. Casey

Sinopsis

This book was written in the spring of 1943 with facilities supplied by the Navy Department and the Navy. Permission for its publication was then withheld by the Navy on grounds of national security. The permission to publish was granted two years later, in June 1945.
 
Except for the appreciable deletions and other alterations made by the Navy censorship, the book is now published exactly as written. The reader will understand that where the present tense is used, as for example in the account of the German U-boats, the reference is to conditions existing in the spring of 1943. And if a commander today was a lieutenant then, he will accept our apologies for the use of his old title.

Modernization and Reform - Den...

Jun Liu

Deng Xiaoping’s rise to power is a tale marked by perseverance, political acumen, and the ability to navigate the turbulent political landscape of 20th-century China. Born in 1904 in the Sichuan province, Deng’s early life was shaped by his education in France, where he studied at the University of Paris. His exposure to Marxist ideas during this time laid the foundation for his later role in the Chinese Communist Party. Upon his return to China, Deng became an important figure in the party’s early years, rising through the ranks as a trusted leader. 
Deng’s political career began during the Second Sino-Japanese War, where he served in key military roles, building his reputation as a capable leader. However, it was during the Chinese Civil War that Deng truly began to cement his place in the party hierarchy. His involvement in the revolution and his leadership of various military campaigns helped to solidify his standing as a rising star in the Communist Party. Despite the chaos and upheaval surrounding the war, Deng’s strategic thinking and leadership made him an indispensable figure in the fight against both the Japanese and later the Nationalists. 
After the establishment of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, Deng continued to rise through the ranks of the Communist Party, serving in various influential positions. However, his career was not without its setbacks. During the Cultural Revolution, a political movement led by Mao Zedong, Deng fell out of favor and was purged from his positions of power. He was sent to work on a farm, and his political influence was effectively diminished. Yet, despite these challenges, Deng’s political resilience would eventually lead to his return to power.
