  Misfire - The Sarajevo...

  Paul Miller-Melamed

  • 0

  The story has so often been told: Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the throne of the Habsburg Empire, was shot dead on June 28, 1914, in the Bosnian capital of Sarajevo. Thirty days later, the Archduke's uncle, Emperor Franz Joseph, declared war on the Kingdom of Serbia, producing the chain reaction of European powers entering the First World War. 
   
   
   
  In Misfire, Paul Miller-Melamed narrates the history of the Sarajevo assassination and the origins of World War I from the perspective of the Balkans. Miller-Melamed embeds the incident in the longer-term conditions of the Balkans that gave rise to the political murder. He thus illuminates the centrality of the Bosnian Crisis and the Balkan Wars of the early twentieth century to European power politics, while explaining how Serbs, Bosnians, and Habsburg leaders negotiated their positions in a dangerous geopolitical environment. Despite the absence of evidence tying official Serbia to the assassination conspiracy, Miller-Melamed shows how it spiraled into a diplomatic crisis that European statesmen proved unable to resolve peacefully. 
   
   
   
  Contrasting the vast disproportionality between a single deadly act and an act of war that would leave ten million dead, Misfire contends that the real causes for the world war lie in "civilized" Europe rather than the endlessly discussed political murder.

  Loyalty in Time of Trial - The...

  The little-known history of black soldiers and defense workers in the First World War, and what happened afterward: “Highly recommended.” —Choice   In one of the few book-length treatments of the subject, historian Nina Mjagkij conveys the full range of the African American experience during the “Great War.” Prior to World War I, most African Americans did not challenge the racial status quo. But nearly 370,000 black soldiers served in the military during the war, and some 400,000 black civilians migrated from the rural South to the urban North for defense jobs.    Following the war, emboldened by their military service and their support of the war on the home front, African Americans were determined to fight for equality—but struggled in the face of indifference and hostility in spite of their combat-veteran status. America would soon be forced to confront the impact of segregation and racism—beginning a long, dramatic reckoning that continues over a century later.   “Painstakingly describes the frustration, sometimes anger, and frequent courage demonstrated by southern and northern African Americans in their attempts to include themselves in the national crusade of making the world safe for democracy . . . one of the most comprehensive treatments of the race issue in the early twentieth century that this reader has seen.” —Journal of Southern History

  Emotional and Moral...

  This book contains the following two titles: 
  - The Appeal to Emotion Fallacy: Logical fallacies are errors in reasoning that undermine the validity of an argument. They are often used unintentionally, but in many cases, they are deliberately employed to manipulate or persuade others. A logical fallacy may seem convincing on the surface, yet it lacks a sound basis when scrutinized more closely. Understanding logical fallacies is crucial because they can mislead audiences, derail thoughtful discussion, and obstruct the pursuit of truth. 
  - The Just-World Hypothesis: The Just-World Hypothesis is a psychological concept that suggests people have a deep-seated belief that the world is inherently fair, where individuals get what they deserve. This belief leads people to assume that good things happen to good people, and bad things happen to bad people. It is a cognitive bias that serves as a mechanism for reducing feelings of anxiety or uncertainty about the randomness and chaos of the world. This belief in a just world helps individuals to feel more in control of their lives and less vulnerable to the uncertainties of the world around them.

  World’s Deadliest Destinations -...

  The world is full of places that, for various reasons, have earned a reputation as deadly destinations. From war zones to natural disasters, some locations are marked by extreme danger, making them almost inhospitable for those who venture too close. This chapter aims to explore the factors that contribute to these perilous places, offering a broader understanding of what makes a destination deadly. 
    
  At the core of every dangerous place is a unique combination of environmental, political, and social factors that amplify the risks for those who live or travel there. Conflict zones, for instance, are often marked by violence, political instability, and lawlessness, creating environments where human life is under constant threat. In these regions, wars, civil unrest, and insurgent groups create an atmosphere of chaos where survival can be a daily struggle. 
    
  Natural disasters also play a significant role in shaping the deadliest destinations. Earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions are just a few of the catastrophic events that turn once-thriving areas into desolate wastelands. These natural phenomena strike without warning, leaving little time for escape and often causing widespread devastation. 
    
  But the threats are not always as immediate or obvious as bombs or floods. Some of the deadliest destinations are places where hidden dangers lurk beneath the surface. Toxic landscapes, such as the irradiated zones of Chernobyl, remain dangerous long after the initial disaster has passed. Similarly, remote wilderness areas, such as the jungles of the Amazon or the frozen tundra of Antarctica, may seem tranquil on the surface, but they can be life-threatening to those who are ill-prepared for the extreme conditions.
