  Do you want to learn more about World War II, but don’t have time to read/listen to huge, long books? Then let The History Journals take you on an hourly history tour of each year of the war with The World War II History Journals series which includes one book per year from 1939 to 1945. 
   
  Throughout this series of journals released to acknowledge 80 years since the beginning of WW2, we will be looking at the seven years of that conflict on an annual basis. The conflict, the buildup to war, the major battles, the strategies and technological developments, the effect on civilians, and most importantly of all we’ll consider the role of the soldiers, sailors, and airmen who gave their lives fighting for the freedom of others. 
   
  Although the Allied nations faced the New Year of 1945 with a huge sense of hope, there was still a great deal of work to be done if world peace was to become a reality. Adolf Hitler and his Axis powers were finally facing defeat after seven years at war, but just like any wounded animal in the wild, they continued to pose a very real and dangerous threat. Follow us onward into the history of WW2 in 1945 – and the end of the war. 
   
  You will learn about: 
   
  A retreating Japan responds with Kamikaze pilots, Russian push to Warsaw 
  Hitler’s suicide 
  German army withdraws after Battle of the Bulge, American forces target Iwo Jima 
  The last rush for Berlin, VE Day, Truman authorizes nuclear bomb testing 
  Hiroshima, Nagasaki, America drops the atomic bomb, Japan surrenders, VJ Day 
   
  Be sure to read/listen to all the books in the series - one for each year through the end of the war in 1945!

  Black Foundation Reconsidered -...

  This is a diagnostic. It does not offer comfort, and it does not assign blame to outside forces. Instead, it makes a case that is increasingly difficult to avoid: the primary obstacle facing Black communities in America and across the African Diaspora is not racism. It is the systematic destruction of a collective worldview, a shared doctrine rooted in language, that once held communities together and gave individuals the mental architecture to act with purpose. That foundation was dismantled. And until it is rebuilt from the inside, no amount of rights, aid, or representation will close the gap. 
  There is also something practical here: a framework for thinking differently. It draws a precise distinction between racism and xenophobia, two phenomena that are routinely conflated, with real consequences for how people navigate institutions, workplaces, and social environments. It introduces the concept of "rethinking," a deliberate psychological practice of pausing before fast conclusions, as a survival skill capable of interrupting cycles of violence, failure, and self-defeat. And it offers a model for rebuilding the family and community from within, not as a waiting game for external political permission, but as an act of internal will. 
  Some readers will be uncomfortable. The victimhood script that dominates mainstream Black public discourse is challenged here. So are the limits of modern liberalism and the political frameworks that have promised much and delivered little structural change. None of it flatters. But it does something rarer: it takes the community seriously enough to demand more from it.

  Ride the High Country

  Director Sam Peckinpah was just starting out when MGM released Ride the High Country in 1962. He was a new kind of director: young, brash, and in a hurry to help the Western "grow up" by treating it with adult themes. Ride the High Country was something new and different, a changing Western to match a changing West. Stars Randolph Scott and Joel McCrea were old hands at this sort of thing. Ride the High Country gave the two veteran actors one last job to do and a chance to go out with some dignity. 
   
   
   
  Ride the High Country helped the genre mature and adapt to turbulent, changing times. It launched Peckinpah's career by invoking the themes of honor, loyalty, and compromised ideals, the destruction of the West and its heroes, and the difficulty of doing right in an unjust world—themes developed to their pinnacle in Peckinpah's later masterpiece, The Wild Bunch.
