Sinopse

The "Historians' History of the World: Russia and Poland" is a meticulously curated volume that reflects the complex tapestry of historical narratives surrounding these two nations. This anthology draws from a wealth of sources, offering a rigorous academic approach while maintaining an engaging literary style. With contributions from various historians, the work contextualizes pivotal events, political shifts, and cultural transformations across centuries, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of Russia and Poland's intertwined destinies. The narrative style is characterized by both scholarly rigor and evocative storytelling, making it accessible yet authoritative. Emerging from a progressive movement in historiography, the various authors featured in this compendium were influenced by the desire to illuminate lesser-known aspects of history while offering new interpretations of well-known events. The collective expertise spans multiple disciplines, enriching the text with diverse perspectives and insights. Scholars such as these dedicate their work to bridging gaps in historical knowledge, inspired by the challenges faced by their own societies and a shared commitment to fostering understanding through history. This book is an invaluable resource for scholars, students, and general readers alike, providing an exhaustive overview of the tumultuous past of Russia and Poland. It invites exploration into their unique cultural legacies, while encouraging critical examination of the social and political forces that continue to shape these countries today. I highly recommend this scholarly work for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of Eastern European history.

Devotional recitation of this sacred prayer is done by millions every day.Hanumanji is the greatest devotee of Sri Ram and an incarnation of the mighty Lord Shiva. He is therefore the epitome of ultimate devotion manifested with its full glory unchallenged in all times and places. By the power of his devotion to Sita Ram, he easily achieved supreme status as the perfect devotee and servitor.Lord Hanuman is the eternal link between all devotees and Ram whom he serves, inspires, and protects.

    Otto Kretschmer was only in combat from September 1939 until March 1941 but was Germany's highest-scoring U-boat commander, sinking forty-seven ships. This definitive work details his personal story and the political backdrop from his earliest days. 
     
     
     
    After completing his officer training and time on the training ship Niobe, he served aboard the light cruiser Emden. In December 1934, he was transferred to the light cruiser Köln, then in January 1936 made the move to the fledgling U-boat service. During the Spanish Civil War, Kretschmer was involved in several patrols as part of the international non-intervention force. 
     
     
     
    He demonstrated a cool approach to combat: his mantra "one torpedo for one ship" proved that the best way for his boat to succeed against a convoy was to remain surfaced as much as possible, penetrating the convoy and using the boat's high speed and small silhouette to avoid retaliation. 
     
     
     
    His nickname "Silent Otto" referred to his ability to remain undetected and his reluctance to provide the regular radio reports required by Dönitz. Alongside his military skill was a character that remained rooted in the traditions of the Prussian military.

    Since John Hersey's Hiroshima, very few books have examined the meaning and impact of World War II through the eyes of Japanese men and women who survived that conflict. Tattered Kimonos in Japan does just that: It is an intimate journey into contemporary Japan from the perspective of the generation of Japanese soldiers and civilians who survived World War II, by a writer whose American father and Japanese father-in-law fought on opposite sides of the conflict. 
     
     
     
    Mindful of the power of victimhood, memory, and shared suffering, he travels across Japan, including Hiroshima and Nagasaki, meeting a compelling group of men and women whose lives, even now, are defined by the trauma of war, and by lingering questions of responsibility and repentance for Japan's wartime aggression. 
     
     
     
    The image of a tattered kimono from Hiroshima is the thread that drives the narrative arc of this emotional story about a writer's encounter with history, inside the Japan of his father's generation, on the other side of his father's war. This is a book about history with elements of family memoir. It offers a fresh and truly unique perspective for listeners interested in World War II, Japan, or Judaica; listeners seeking cross-cultural journeys; and listeners intrigued by Japanese culture, particularly the kimono.
