Summary

"A Voyage to the South Sea" is an interesting and thrilling autobiographical account by the Royal Navy Vice-Admiral William Bligh of the naval expedition of HMS Bounty under his command, including the mutiny against him that happened in 1789. In order to win a premium offered by the Royal Society, Bligh first sailed to Tahiti to obtain breadfruit trees, then set course east across the South Pacific for South America and the Cape Horn and eventually to the Caribbean Sea, where breadfruit was wanted for experiments to see whether it would be a successful food crop for African slaves there on British colonial plantations in the West Indies islands. However, The Bounty never reached the Caribbean, as mutiny broke out on board shortly after the ship left Tahiti. The reasons behind the mutiny are still debated. After being set adrift in Bounty's launch by the mutineers, Bligh and his loyal men were forced to start a completely new and an adventurous journey of their own…

    Some say that both the world wars were the result of a massive, world-wide conspiracy by an illusive secret society known as the illuminati. Others say the wars were really all part of the same grand European power struggle between the old world and the new, between royalty, politicians, communists and capitalists. Others say it was just a series of unfortunate events. 
     
    What is the truth? Do men plot? Yes they do. Are there secret organisations that have manipulated society and even brought about war? Yes there are. Did they create the first and second world wars? Yes they did. Are they behind the rise of the Nazi Party? Yes. 
     
    The history of world war two is incomplete. A massive element has been left out of the history books. The role of secret societies.

    An account of the emergence and development of white consciousness throughout American history. 
     
     
     
    In The Making of White American Identity, Ron Eyerman provides an explanation for how whiteness has become a basis for collective identification and collective action in the United States. Drawing upon his previous work on the formation of African American identity, as well as cultural trauma theory, collective memory, and social movements, he reveals how and under what conditions such a collective identification emerges, as well as how the mobilization of collective action around an ideology of whiteness and white superiority. Eyerman explores how the American identity was, and is still being established, through both historical and more recent events, including the Civil War, the Civil Rights movement, the election of a Black president, the Charlottesville confrontation, and the violent conflict at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. He further shows how each event revitalized the trauma narratives stemming from the nation's founding tensions, mobilizing social forces around the idea of white superiority and white consciousness. Tracing the historical contexts and social conditions under which individuals and groups move through this process, the author also looks forward at the prospects of the ideology of white supremacy as a political force in the United States.

    Want to know what Vietnam was really like? 
    From a Marine sniper in Hue, to a medevac dust-off pilot going into a hot LZ, Navy Corpsmen, A-6 pilots taking out bridges and SAM sites in North Vietnam, a nurse on the USS Repose, combat medics deep in the jungle, machine gunners in I-Corps, mechanics working on the rolling deck of a big carrier on Yankee Station, squad leaders on infantry sweeps in “the Arizona Territory,” truck convoys under fire, riverine patrol boats in the Delta, Coast Guard “Jolly Green” search and rescue helicopters pulling downed pilots from the jungle, tank platoons in an all-out armor assault, Loach pilots in hunter-killer teams, and many more -- from the Delta to the DMZ, this book puts you in their boots. 
    Some of us were drafted. Some enlisted. Some were true war heroes, but most were just trying to survive. As everyone “in-country” knew, Vietnam was all about luck, good or bad. If you were there, you understand. If you weren’t, grab a copy and start reading, anywhere in the book. The stories are like Doritos. Try a few and you won’t be able to stop. 
    Like any war, none of us who served had much if any control over our fates. We went where they told us to go, did what they told us to do, and over 58,200 of us paid the ultimate price. Now, 50 years later, the war continues to take its toll on many who did come home, with PTSD and Agent Orange induced diabetes, heart disease, neuropathy, leukemia, Hodgkin’s Disease, and many forms of cancer. As they say, “Vietnam is the gift that keeps on giving.” 
    This is the audio edition of Volume 2 of my popular 4-volume book series, Our Vietnam Wars. It was so titled because everyone who served there fought a different war depending on the year, our branch and unit, location, sex, race, and rank. This volume 60 Stories, 271 photographs you can't appreciate from just the audio book alone. The book has 4.6 Stars on 631 Amazon customer reviews.

    Taking the clothes they wore as a starting point, Paul Galvin skilfully weaves together a collection of stories of Irishmen who defined the culture and mood of their time.
    In Push, he tells the story of the legendary Walker Brothers – cyclists and soldiers who pedalled through a storm for Ireland at the 1912 Stockholm Games and subsequently served as rebel bike couriers during the 1916 Rising. In Born Mad, discover another side to Samuel Beckett – sartor and prolific sportsman who had knockout power as a champion school's boxer. In Boland, we learn about Harry Boland's background as a trained tailor, and in Jack, we encounter Jack B. Yeats at the 1924 Olympic Games in Paris.
    These are just some of men who have inspired Paul's own fashion collections and whom he writes about here in a fascinating collection that shines a light on how history is woven into the clothes Irishmen wear.
