Beschreibung

Willis Fletcher Johnson's "The History of Cuba" (Volumes 1-5) presents an exhaustive narrative that weaves together the rich tapestry of Cuba's past from its indigenous roots to its colonial complexities. Johnson employs a meticulous blend of chronological storytelling and critical analysis, delving into political, economic, and social themes that have shaped the island nation. His scholarly approach is enriched with primary sources and contemporaneous accounts, making the work not only informative but also a valuable contribution to Latin American historiography. The volumes reflect a deep understanding of Cuba's unique position within the Caribbean context, grappling with themes of identity, sovereignty, and resistance. As an accomplished historian and writer, Johnson's passion for Cuban history likely stemmed from both his extensive travels in Latin America and his commitment to documenting the often-overlooked narratives of marginalized populations. His academic background feeds into his narrative style, allowing readers to engage with complex historical debates while still appreciating the human aspects of the stories told. Johnson's objective is to illuminate the impactful moments that have defined Cuba'Äôs socio-political landscape, rendering a work that resonates with both scholars and the general public. This comprehensive history is crucial for anyone looking to understand Cuba's multifaceted identity and its place in world history. Johnson invites readers into a compelling exploration that spans centuries, encouraging a critical reflection on historical legacy while offering insights relevant to contemporary discussions. Whether you are a student of history, a cultural enthusiast, or simply curious about Cuba, this meticulously crafted series is an invaluable resource that will deepen your understanding of the island's enduring significance.

    Immanuel Velikovsky called this book the "fulfillment of his oath of Hippocrates—to serve humanity." In this book, he returns to his roots as a psychologist and psychoanalytical therapist, yet not with a single person as his patient but with humanity as a whole. After an extremely revealing overview of the foundations of the various psychoanalytical systems he makes the step into crowd psychology and reopens the case of Worlds in Collision from a totally different point of view: as a psychoanalytical case study. This way he shows that the blatant reactions to his theories (which are still going on today) have not been surprising but are actually inevitable from a psychological perspective—which equally holds for those who have defined our view of the world. At the same time he is able to reclassify the theories of Siegmund Freud and of C. G. Jung by finding a common basis for them. A journey through history, religion, mythology and art shows the overall range of the collective trauma and gives us—the patients—a message of extraordinary urgency and importance for the future.

    In April 1943, Commander Peter Gretton was in charge of escorting a vital Allied trade convoy from New York to Great Britain across the North Atlantic. Over the course of the voyage, the sixty-one merchant ships of convoy HX231, along with the six ships of B7 Escort Group, were continuously shadowed and attacked by a German wolf pack of twenty U-boats. 
     
     
     
    With the aid of air support, the convoy and defending escort fought valiantly across hundreds of miles of ocean and, despite poor weather conditions, managed to sink and severely damage several enemy submarines. Tragically six merchant ships were torpedoed and with no rescue vessel any survivors were left stranded in the freezing waters of the Atlantic as the convoy continued on its journey. 
     
     
     
    Drawing on reports from both sides, Gretton details the sequence of events as convoy HX231 battled its way through a large wolf pack and offers an authoritative post-battle analysis of the strategies, decisions, and actions taken that would ultimately see the tide of war turn in favor of victory for the Allies. 
     
     
     
    Crisis Convoy takes the listener to the heart of the action and is a thrilling account of naval warfare during World War II.
