Sinossi

"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.

    On January 16, 1944, the submarine rescue vessel USS Macaw (ASR-11) ran aground at Midway Atoll while attempting to get a towing line to the stranded submarine USS Flier (SS-250). The Flier was pulled free six days later, but another three weeks of salvage efforts failed to dislodge the Macaw. Then on February 12, the sea accomplished that task, nudging the ship into deeper water. 
     
     
     
    As night fell and the ship slowly sank, the twenty-two men on board sought refuge in the pilot house. By about 0230 Sunday, that compartment having flooded almost entirely, Burton gave the order to open the portside door and make for the foremast. Five of the men, including Burton himself, died, as did three sailors from the base at Midway in a pair of unauthorized and effectively suicidal rescue attempts that morning. 
     
     
     
    This book traces the lives of the Macaw and her enigmatic captain, from birth on San Francisco Bay to death at Midway. Ultimately, for Paul Burton and the Macaw the real enemy was the sea, and in a deadly denouement told here in riveting detail, the sea won. Highlighting the underreported role auxiliary vessels played in the war, A Strange Whim of the Sea should engage the military historian and layperson alike with the previously untold story it tells of struggle, sacrifice, death, and survival in the Pacific in World War II.

    The Pretiosissimum Donum Dei, 'the most precious gift of God', is an important early alchemical work, with a famous series of 12 illustrations. There have been identified over 60 manuscripts of the Donum Dei, the earliest dating from the 15th century. Some of these versions ascribe the work to Georgius Aurach de Argentina [sometimes 'Anrach'] and date it to 1475, though this unverified. There are versions in Latin, German, French and Italian, and one in English in the British Library.

    Dear White Peacemakers is a breakup letter to division, a love letter to God’s beloved community, and an eviction notice to the violent powers that have sustained racism for centuries.   Race is one of the hardest topics to discuss in America. Many white Christians avoid talking about it altogether. But a commitment to peacemaking requires white people to step out of their comfort and privilege and into the work of anti-racism. Dear White Peacemakers is an invitation to white Christians to come to the table and join this hard work and holy calling. Rooted in the life, ministry, and teachings of Jesus, this book is a challenging call to transform white shame, fragility, saviorism, and privilege, in order to work together to build the Beloved Community as anti-racism peacemakers.   Written in the wake of George Floyd’s death, Dear White Peacemakers draws on the Sermon on the Mount, Spirituals, and personal stories from author Osheta Moore’s work as a pastor in St. Paul, Minnesota. Enter into this story of shalom and join in the urgent work of anti-racism peacemaking.
