Samuel Chandler

Casa editrice: Good Press

Sinossi

In 'The History of Persecution, from the Patriarchal Age, to the Reign of George II,' Samuel Chandler presents a sweeping analysis of the socio-political dynamics underlying religious persecution throughout history. Using a chronological framework, this erudite work examines the patterns of oppression against various religious groups, from ancient societies to the early modern period. Chandler's prose is characterized by its rigorous attention to detail and a commitment to presenting a balanced narrative, which invites readers to consider the ethical implications of religious intolerance across different epochs. Notably, his examination reveals the cyclical nature of persecution, wherein historical parallels resonate within contemporary issues of faith and freedom. Samuel Chandler, a prominent Dissenting minister and theologian of the 18th century, was deeply influenced by the religious climate of his time, particularly the struggles faced by nonconformists in England. His own experiences with persecution informed his scholarly pursuits, prompting him to explore broader themes of liberty and justice. Combined with his academic background and religious convictions, Chandler felt compelled to illuminate the often-ignored historical injustices that could inspire reflection and change among his contemporaries. Readers seeking a comprehensive and thought-provoking exploration of the patterns of persecution across history will find Chandler's work invaluable. This book serves as both a historical record and a call to action against ongoing injustices, resonating powerfully in today's world. Scholars, students, and anyone interested in the evolution of religious freedom will appreciate Chandler'Äôs meticulous research and compelling narrative.

Colonial Vietnam: The History of...

Editors Charles River

Before the Vietnam War, most Americans would have been hard pressed to locate Vietnam on a map. South Vietnamese President Diệm’s regime was extremely unpopular, and war broke out between Communist North Vietnam and South Vietnam around the end of the 1950s. Kennedy’s administration tried to prop up the South Vietnamese with training and assistance, but the South Vietnamese military was feeble. A month before his death, Kennedy signed a presidential directive withdrawing 1,000 American personnel, and shortly after Kennedy’s assassination, new President Lyndon B. Johnson reversed course, instead opting to expand American assistance to South Vietnam. 
	The post-analysis of war is a complicated and process that benefits from hindsight, and the involvement of the United States in Vietnam over about a decade was no exception. Never formally declared as a “war,” the Vietnam War was not fought in clean lines or with clear missions. Viewers of the evening news listening to the “box score” of killed and wounded each night had at best a hazy notion of what was happening a world away in Southeast Asia. If anything, their leaders were both attentive to reelection and on a certain level were themselves unsure of what was truly taking place. A military draft that sent over 50,000 American soldiers to their deaths was triggered by a resolution sought by President Lyndon B. Johnson in a decision to contain communism in a distant Asian land.
