Synopsis

"Vietnam Conflict" explores the complex history of U.S. involvement in Vietnam, examining the war's profound impact on American society and foreign policy during the Cold War era. The book analyzes how the U.S. military strategy evolved, influenced by political factors in both Washington and Saigon. It provides historical context, tracing Vietnamese nationalism, French colonialism, and the domino theory, to understand the Geneva Accords and Ho Chi Minh's rise.

The book argues that Cold War anxieties and flawed assumptions significantly contributed to the U.S. failure, challenging conventional narratives by examining overlooked factors. The book unfolds systematically, beginning with historical context and key players. It analyzes military strategies like search and destroy missions and bombing campaigns, then explores the political dimensions, including presidential administrations and the anti-war movement. It uses declassified documents, military records, and firsthand accounts to support its arguments.

The book concludes with an assessment of the war's long-term consequences, including its influence on American foreign policy and its impact on veteran affairs. Targeting students and history enthusiasts, this book offers insights into modern warfare complexities and interventionist foreign policy challenges. It provides a balanced viewpoint, avoiding simplistic narratives and engaging with the conflict's complexities, making it a valuable resource for understanding this pivotal chapter in global history.

Reading Confederate Monuments

Maria Seger, Joanna...

Contributions by Danielle Christmas, Joanna Davis-McElligatt, Garrett Bridger Gilmore, Spencer R. Herrera, Cassandra Jackson, Stacie McCormick, Maria Seger, Randi Lynn Tanglen, Brook Thomas, Michael C. Weisenburg, and Lisa Woolfork

Reading Confederate Monuments addresses the urgent and vital need for scholars, educators, and the general public to be able to read and interpret the literal and cultural Confederate monuments pervading life in the contemporary United States.  

The literary and cultural studies scholars featured in this collection engage many different archives and methods, demonstrating how to read literal Confederate monuments as texts and in the context of the assortment of literatures that produced and celebrated them. They further explore how to read the literary texts advancing and contesting Confederate ideology in the US cultural imaginary—then and now—as monuments in and of themselves. On top of that, the essays published here lay bare the cultural and pedagogical work of Confederate monuments and counter-monuments—divulging how and what they teach their readers as communal and yet contested narratives—thereby showing why the persistence of Confederate monuments matters greatly to local and national notions of racial justice and belonging. In doing so, this collection illustrates what critics of US literature and culture can offer to ongoing scholarly and public discussions about Confederate monuments and memory.

Brought to audio through new AI narrative technology, Reading Confederate Monuments teaches us that even as we remove, relocate, and recontextualize the physical symbols of the Confederacy dotting the US landscape, the complicated histories, cultural products, and pedagogies of Confederate ideology remain embedded in the national consciousness. To disrupt and potentially dismantle these enduring narratives alongside the statues themselves, we must be able to recognize, analyze, and resist them in US life. The pieces in this collection position us to think deeply about how and why we should continue that work.

The Science of Immortality

D.N. Dunlop

The contents of this volume consist of addresses delivered at various times before Lodges of the Theosophical Society and selected for their reference to the subject of immortality. Some of them were published in The Path, Vol. II. 
In order to make the chapters more or less coherent, the matter has been slightly rearranged, but certain repetitions will be noticed which are unavoidable, owing to the inter-relation of the subjects discussed and to the fact that, having been addressed to different audiences, some explanation of the bearing of the part on the whole was necessary. I have not attempted to eliminate these redundancies, for the philosophy, sketchily outlined herein, is not easy to grasp, inasmuch as its fundamental data and principles are in contradistinction to much of the current thought of our time. 
I. THE APPROACH TO THE PATH and FOREWARD 
II. THE RACES OF HUMANITY 
III. SENSE-FUNCTIONS AND FACULTIES OF THE MIND 
IV. INDIVIDUALITY AND PERSONALITY 
V. BREATH AND DESIRE 
VI. WILL, UNIVERSAL AND INDIVIDUAL 
VII. THOUGHT - ITS ORIGIN AND CONTROL 
VIII. BIRTH AND DEATH  
IX. THE SOUL AND ITS MANIFESTATIONS 
X. THE IMMORTAL SOUL

The Boer Invasion of The Zulu...

John Laband

The battle of Blood River, or Ncome, on 16 December 1838 has long been regarded as a critical moment in the history of South Africa. It is the culminating victory by the land-hungry Boers who had migrated out of the British-ruled Cape and invaded the Zulu kingdom in 1837.
Many Afrikaners long acclaimed their triumph as the God-given justification for their subsequent dominion over Africans. By contrast, Africans celebrate the war with pride for its significance in their valiant struggle against colonial aggression.
In this account, John Laband deals as even-handedly as possible with the warring sides in the conflict. In contrasting their military systems, he explains both victory and defeat in the many battles that marked the war. Crucially, he also presents the less familiar Zulu perspective explaining the political motivation, strategic military objectives and fissures in the royal house.
This is the first book in English that engages with the war between the Boers and the Zulu in its entire context or takes the Zulu evidence into proper account.

Napoleon's Imperial Guard...

Paul L. Dawson

The author of Battle for Paris 1815 examines the uniforms and equipment of the infantry of Napoleon’s Imperial Guard.   From its origins as the Consular Guard of the French Republic, and as Napoleon’s personal bodyguard, the Imperial Guard developed into a force of all arms numbering almost 100,000 men. Used by Napoleon as his principal tactical reserve, the Guard was engaged only sparingly, being deployed at the crucial moment of battle to turn the tide of victory in favor of the Emperor of the French.   Naturally, the Imperial Guard has been the subject of numerous books over many decades, yet there has never been a publication that has investigated the uniforms and equipment of the infantry of the Imperial Guard with such detail and precision. The author has collected copies of almost all the surviving documents relating to the Guard, which includes a vast amount of material regarding the issuing of dress items, in some instances down to company level.   This information is supported by an unrivaled collection of illustrations, many of which have never been published before, as well as images of original items of equipment held in museums and private collections across the globe. In addition, the renowned military artist, Keith Rocco, has produced a series of unique paintings commissioned exclusively for this book.   This glorious book is, and will remain, unsurpassed as the standard work on the clothing and equipment of the Imperial Guard, and will not only be invaluable to historians, but also reenactors, wargamers and modelers. It is one of the most important publications ever produced on this most famous of military formations.
