THE GREAT WAR COLLECTION ? The Battle of Jutland, The Battle of the Somme & Nelson's History of the War (9 Books in One Volume) Selected Works from the Acclaimed War Correspondent about World War I Greatest Battles & Strategies , Inclu【電子書籍】
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>This carefully crafted ebook: "THE GREAT WAR COLLECTION ? The Battle of Jutland, The Battle of the Somme & Nelson's History of the War (9 Books in One Volume)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. John Buchan (1875-1940) was a Scottish novelist, historian and also served as Canada's Governor General. With the outbreak of the First World War, Buchan worked as a correspondent in France for The Times. Content: Days to Remember: The British Empire in the Great War The Battle of Jutland The Battle of the Somme, First Phase The Battle of the Somme, Second Phase Nelson's History of the War (Volumes I?V) "The definite history of this war is not now to be written, or for many a day. Still it may be possible to disentangle from this struggle of armed nations over hundreds of miles some explicit narrative which may help all of us who are hungering for help and guidance. At present we do not authentically know even the subtle causes which produced this convulsion over half the world. What is on the surface is clear enough, but it is what is under the surface that matters. I am reluctant to believe in a diabolical and cold-blooded scheme to bring about war at this time; at least, this does not seem to be proved. We must, then, I think, suspend our judgment as to the real causes of war till time and documents give us the clue. Perhaps the pregnant word "mobilization" may explain much. Meanwhile we can only conjecture by the light of a few facts..."

War in Korea The Report of a Woman Combat Correspondent【電子書籍】[ Marguerite Higgins ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Not since Ernie Pyle have the American people taken any reporter to their hearts as they have Marguerite Higginsーthe photogenic young war correspondent for the New York Herald Tribune. This brilliant woman reporter, greatly admired by the fighting men, has dodged bullets with troops on the line, has asked neither favor nor privilege for herself, and has been commended publicly for bravery in helping grievously wounded men under fire. This is her up-front, personal report of the human side of the war.<br /> With the discerning eye of the expert reporter and the sympathy of a woman living through the agony of her countrymen, Miss Higgins tells the whole story of the bitter Korean campaign: young, green troops maturing in battle, Communist bullets kicking over the coffeepot at breakfast, the initial inadequacy of American arms, and the terrible price in men we are paying for unpreparedness.<br /> Miss Higgins also sketches brilliant thumbnail portraits of Generals MacArthur Walker, and Dean, and of many line and staff officers as well as GIs. In WAR IN KOREA she has written a tremendously compelling book that calls a spade a spade as it reveals the hell and heroism of an ordeal which compares to Valley Forge in the annals of American fighting men.<br /> Richly illustrated throughout with photographs by Carl Mydans of Life magazine and others.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Four Months Besieged: The Story of Ladysmith Being Unpublished Letters from H. H. S. Pearse, the "Daily News" Special Correspondent [Illustrated Edition]【電子書籍】[ Henry H. S. Pearse ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Richly illustrated with plans, maps and drawings throughout.<br /> The siege of Ladysmith will long remain in the memories of the age. The annals of war furnish the record of many fierce struggles, in which men and women have undergone sufferings more terrible and possibly shown a devotion rising to sublimer heights. But the Boer War of 1899-1900 will mark an epoch, and throughout its opening stage of four months the minds of men, and the hopes and fears of the whole British race, centred upon the little town in mid-Natal where Sir George White with his army maintained a valiant resistance against a strenuous and determined foe without, and disease and hunger and death within, until, to use his own words, that slow-moving giant John Bull should pass from his slumber and bestir himself to take back his own. For that reason alone the story of Ladysmith will remain memorable. But it is a story which is brilliant in brave deeds, which tells of danger boldly faced, of noble self-sacrifice to duty, in calm endurance of many and growing evils a story worth the telling. Yet so far it has been told only in the necessarily disjointed telegrams and letters of the press correspondents in the town. Native runners who were captured and otherwise went astray, and the ruthless pencil of the censor, were accountable for many gaps. Two or three of the letters contained in the following pages escaped these perils, and were published in the columns of the Daily News. The rest of the book now appears for the first time. The volume consists of pages from the letters and diaries of Mr. Henry H. S. Pearse, the Special Correspondent of the Daily News. Mr. Pearse was in Natal when the war broke out, and he was in Ladysmith during the whole of the siege. He was fortunate enough to enjoy good health throughout, and though he had some narrow escapes he was never hit. His letters contain a complete story of the siege.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

News Cowboys Behind the scenes of international breaking news, through the eyes of a leading foreign correspondent【電子書籍】[ Mike Amor ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>News cowboys - it was the nickname the reporters and camera people at Seven Network's Los Angeles bureau jokingly gave themselves as they headed off on assignments, not knowing what to expect and often unprepared for what they found. It was a way of coping, of not taking too seriously what was often deadly serious, as they witnessed some of the worst moments in recent world history.</p> <p>For 18 years Mike Amor was one of those journalists. He was on the ground during 9/11 and in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. He reported on mass shootings from Port Arthur to Sandy Hook, covered the earthquake in Haiti and the astonishing rescue of a little girl named Winnie, investigated Mexican drug cartels, came under fire in Gaza - and much more. There were good times, too - following the Olympics or Chlo? McCardel's record-breaking Cuban swim - but the mental and physical toll was incalculable, on him and on his wife and son.</p> <p>Mike, who won the prestigious Edward R. Murrow Network Award in 2011, recounts these experiences with honesty, compassion and humour, but also takes on the big questions: Why do foreign correspondents do this job? Why do they, sometimes recklessly, expose themselves to danger when they have family at home?</p> <p><em>News Cowboys</em> is a brave, moving and thought-provoking book. To read it is to see the world differently and to understand the high price paid by those who will stop at nothing to tell the truth.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

On the Front Lines of the Cold War An American Correspondent's Journal from the Chinese Civil War to the Cuban Missile Crisis and Vietnam【電子書籍】[ Seymour Topping ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In the years following World War II, the United States suffered its most severe military and diplomatic reverses in Asia while Mao Zedong laid the foundation for the emergence of China as a major economic and military world power. As a correspondent for the International News Service, the Associated Press, and later for the New York Times, Seymour Topping documented on the ground the tumultuous events during the Chinese Civil War, the French Indochina War, and the American retreat from Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos. In this riveting narrative, Topping chronicles his extraordinary experiences covering the East-West struggle in Asia and Eastern Europe from 1946 into the 1980s, taking us beyond conventional historical accounts to provide a fresh, first-hand perspective on American triumphs and defeats during the Cold War era.<br /> At the close of World War II, Topping -- who had served as an infantry officer in the Pacific -- reported for the International News Service from Beijing and Mao's Yenan stronghold before joining the Associated Press in Nanking, Chiang Kai-shek's capital. He covered the Chinese Civil War for the next three years, often interviewing Nationalist and Communist commanders in combat zones. Crossing Nationalist lines, Topping was captured by Communist guerrillas and tramped for days over battlefields to reach the People's Liberation Army as it advanced on Nanking. The sole correspondent on the battlefield during the decisive Battle of the Huai-Hai, which sealed Mao's victory, Topping later scored a world-wide exclusive as the first journalist to report the fall of the capital.<br /> In 1950, Topping opened the Associated Press bureau in Saigon, becoming the first American correspondent in Vietnam. In 1951, John F. Kennedy, then a young congressman on a fact-finding visit to Saigon, sought out Topping for a briefing. Assignments in London and West Berlin followed, then Moscow and Hong Kong for the New York Times. During those years Topping reported on the Chinese intervention in the Korean conflict, Mao's Cultural Revolution and its preceding internal power struggle, the Chinese leader's monumental ideological split with Nikita Khrushchev, the French Indochina War, America's Vietnam War, and the genocides in Cambodia and Indonesia. He stood in the Kremlin with a vodka-tilting Khrushchev on the night the Cuban missile crisis ended and interviewed Fidel Castro in Havana on its aftermath.<br /> Throughout this captivating chronicle, Topping also relates the story of his marriage to Audrey Ronning, a world-renowned photojournalist and writer and daughter of the Canadian ambassador to China. As the couple traveled from post to post reporting on some of the biggest stories of the century in Asia and Eastern Europe, they raised five daughters. In an epilogue, Topping cites lessons to be learned from the Asia wars which could serve as useful guides for American policymakers in dealing with present-day conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq.<br /> From China to Indochina, Burma to Korea and beyond, Topping did more than report the news; he became involved in international diplomacy, enabling him to gain extraordinary insights. In On the Front Lines of the Cold War, Topping shares these insights, providing an invaluable eyewitness account of some of the pivotal moments in modern history.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Little Cuban Rebel: A War Correspondent's Sweetheart【電子書籍】[ Edna Winfield ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>On the upper deck of the fast coastwise steamer Columbian, bound for Santiago de Cuba, sat a young man of not more than twenty-three years of age, tall, well-formed, and with a face as striking as it was handsome. The noble steamer was just passing out of sight of Sandy Hook and many of the passengers, Americans and Spaniards, with a sprinkling of Englishmen and creoles, were leaning on the rails, anxious to catch a parting glimpse of terra firma. Not a few eyes were moist, the eyes of those who did not expect to soon return, perhaps not forever. The young man, who had made himself thoroughly comfortable in a steamer chair, divided his time in studying a number of documents he held in his hand, and in surveying his fellow passengers critically. His eyes, a deep brown, were thoughtful in the extreme, and at once gave forth the correct impression that he was a close student of human nature, as well as a keen observer of all that was transpiring about him. As the last glimpse of the distant sand-banks faded from view in the bluish mist, one after another of those by the rails turned to the decks, to find their seats, or to seek the seclusion of the cabins and state-rooms. It was not long ere the young man's attention was attracted to a young lady, small and slender, who came close to him with graceful steps, and sank into a seat opposite to his own. The face of the fair stranger was dark, with ruddy cheeks, each with the daintiest of dimples, while another dimple was hidden in the roundest of chins. The low forehead, with its heavy and deep eyelashes, was surmounted by an abundance of dark and wavy tresses, which clustered about the most beautiful of well-rounded shoulders, and fell over a bosom that rose and fell at every breath like the swells of the ocean. "By Jupiter!" murmured the young man, and that exclamation, simple as it was, meant a good deal. Howard Sherwood, newspaper correspondent of the New York United Press, was not in the habit of expressing any feeling or sentiment concerning the looks of the opposite sex. "A strict young man of business," was what his friends called him, "and he doesn't care a rap for the girls," they would add. Howard Sherwood had taken one long look at the beautiful girl before him, and now he dropped his eyes to the document in his hand. Unconscious of his presence, the fair stranger opened a book and began to read. It was not long before the young newspaper correspondent again raised his eyes, somewhat slyly and shyly. But, instead of that fascinating face, he saw only the back of the book. "Songs of Vassar!" he muttered, as he read the title of the book. "By Jove! can she be a college-bred missーan American? I thought she must surely be a Spaniard or a Cuban. But perhaps she was sent to the United States by her parents to be educated, and is now going home on account of the war. Heavens! what a form and what features! more perfect than the studies of Spanish beauties by the old masters. I wish she would look up again." Hardly had the last thought come to his lips than the song-book dropped into the fair stranger's lap, and she did look up, humming the last bar of one of the favorite melodies. Her eyes met those of Howard Sherwood fully, the song stopped, the heavy eyelashes shrouded those beautiful orbs, and the young man murmured a sigh that came straight from his heart. In confusion, he once more turned his eyes upon his papers, and soon after both were reading again. But not for long. The private dispatches which Howard Sherwood carried became meaningless to him, and it was in vain that he tried to get to the close of the letter of instructions which had been thrust into his hands at the last moment. That fair face was in his mind's eye, and disturbed him as he had never been disturbed before. At last, totally unaccustomed to such sensations, he arose to his feet, thrust his papers away, and began to pace the deck.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Beware of Limbo Dancers A Correspondent’s Adventures with the New York Times【電子書籍】[ Roy Reed ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア

<p>This witty, wide-ranging memoir from Roy Reed--a native Arkansan who became a reporter for the New York Times--begins with tales of the writer's formative years growing up in Arkansas and the start of his career at the legendary Arkansas Gazette. Reed joined the New York Times in 1965 and was quickly thrust into the chaos of the Selma, Alabama, protest movement and the historical interracial march to Montgomery. His story then moves from days of racial violence to the political combat of Washington. Reed covered the Johnson White House and the early days of the Nixon administration as it wrestled with the competing demands of black voters and southern resistance to a new world. The memoir concludes with engaging postings from New Orleans and London and other travels of a reporter always on the lookout for new people, old ways, good company, and fresh outrages.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Assignment Russia Becoming a Foreign Correspondent in the Crucible of the Cold War【電子書籍】[ Marvin Kalb ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>A personal journey through some of the darkest moments of the cold war and the early days of television news</strong><br /> Marvin Kalb, the award-winning journalist who has written extensively about the world he reported on during his long career, now turns his eye on the young man who became that journalist. Chosen by legendary broadcaster Edward R. Murrow to become one of what came to be known as the Murrow Boys, Kalb in this newest volume of his memoirs takes readers back to his first days as a journalist, and what also were the first days of broadcast news.<br /> Kalb captures the excitement of being present at the creation of a whole new way of bringing news immediately to the public. And what news. Cold War tensions were high between Eisenhower's America and Khrushchev's Soviet Union. Kalb is at the center, occupying a unique spot as a student of Russia tasked with explaining Moscow to Washington and the American public. He joins a cast of legendary figures along the way, from Murrow himself to Eric Severeid, Howard K. Smith, Richard Hottelet, Charles Kuralt, and Daniel Schorr among many others. He finds himself assigned as Moscow correspondent of CBS News just as the U2 incident-the downing of a US spy plane over Russian territory-is unfolding.<br /> As readers of his first volume, <em>The Year I Was Peter the Great</em>, will recall, being the right person, in the right place, at the right time found Kalb face to face with Khrushchev. <em>Assignment Russia</em> sees Kalb once again an eyewitness to history-and a writer and analyst who has helped shape the first draft of that history.<br /> Kalb witnessed and interpreted many of the defining events of the Cold War. In <em>Assignment Russia</em> he ultimately finds himself assigned as Moscow correspondent for CBS News just as the U-2 incident-the downing of a U.S. spy plane over Russianterritory-is unfolding. Kalb brings alive once again the tension that surrounded that event, and the reportorial skills deployed to illuminate it.<br /> Like <em>The Year I Was Peter the Great</em>, the first volume in a series of memoirs narrating his earlier life,<em>Assignment Russia</em> brings us Kalb once again as an eyewitness to history-and a writer and analyst who has helped shape the first draft of that history.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

After sailing with the first convoy, he landed with them on that fateful first morning of 25 April 1915, and remained on Gallipoli until the evacuation, despite being wounded.</p> <p>No other pressman dared to go ashore at the first landings. Even in the fiercest battles, Bean would sit in the frontline trenches taking notes or making sketches.</p> <p>In his dugout at night he would record everything he had seen and done in his diary. Its pages flow with powerful descriptions of battle, touching eulogies to the common soldier, and scathing criticisms of senior officers whose mistakes cost men their lives. Bean's photographs, over 80 of which are reproduced here, flesh out his graphic personal account of Gallipoli.</p> <p>Truthful, harrowing and shocking.'</p> <p>The Bulletin</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Withdrawal of Correspondent Banking Relationships A Case for Policy Action【電子書籍】[ Michaela Erbenova ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
This paper focuses on the withdrawal of correspondent banking relationships (CBRs) in some jurisdictions post-global financial crisis. It describes existing evidence and consequences of the withdrawal of CBRs and explores drivers of this phenomenon drawing on recent surveys and select country information. While the withdrawal of CBRs has reached a critical level in some affected countries, which can have a systemic impact if unaddressed, macroeconomic consequences have not been identified so far at a global level. The paper presents responses from the international community to address this phenomenon, and explains the role that the IMF has been playing in this global effort, especially with regards to supporting member countries in the context of surveillance and technical assistance, facilitating dialogue among stakeholders, and encouraging data gathering efforts. The paper concludes by suggesting policy responses by public and private sector stakeholders needed to further mitigate potential negative impacts that could undermine financial stability, inclusion, growth and development goals.画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Things I've Seen Nine Lives of a Foreign Correspondent【電子書籍】[ Lara Marlowe ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Lara Marlowe, the Washington correspondent of The Irish Times, has witnessed more than her share of history in three decades as a foreign correspondent. She has reported with clarity and fearlessness on the main conflicts of our era, from the civil war in Lebanon to the break-up of Yugoslavia, the US invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq and the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict. She has been outspoken in her criticism of the often cruel and misguided actions of the world's leading powers, and invariably seeks out the views of civilians caught up in wars that are not of their making. The human cost of conflict and the absurdity of war come through her work, time and again. In this stunning and moving collection, Lara Marlowe has chosen her finest pieces of writing from her years as a foreign correspondent in some of the world's most troubled countries - notably Lebanon, the Palestinian territories, Iraq and Haiti - as well as the power centers of Paris and Washington. She brings her keen insight to bear on some intractable problems, and shares with the reader the terror of living in a war zone. There are lighter moments too: a wonderful house-warming party in Beirut during a lull in artillery bombardments; meetings with talented celebrities, including Carla Bruni, Isabelle Adjani and Marcel Marceau; the simple delight of the companionship of cats. This is a superb collection from a writer at the height of her powers.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Desert Ramblings Short, humorous essays on travel in Egypt, the Middle East and Elsewhere in the 1970s by a roving foreign news correspondent.【電子書籍】[ Michael S. Barrett ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>Former United Press International reporter Michael S. Barrett</strong> spent several years in the Middle East and Europe as a foreign correspondent and editor during the mid-1970s. While reporting daily on affairs of state, political trends and a myriad of socioeconomic events and activities, he also produced a weekly “column” for friends and family that went far beyond his job as a wire-service reporter. The result was a private collection of 184 Ramblings, of which this volume includes 63. Most of them take place within or outside of wartorn Cairo, Egypt, hence the name <em>Desert Ramblings</em>. <strong>What was it like to cover the Shuttle Diplomacy of Henry Kissinger, deal with the political craziness of Muammar Qaddafi’s Libya, travel without a visa to report on the murder and funeral of King Faisal of Saudi Arabia, or watch as an 18th Dynasty Egyptian tomb was uncovered?</strong> Meet the <em>fellahin</em>, the common folk, and stop by a Cairene barbershop for a quick trim. Visit the fabled Cecil Hotel in Alexandria, or far-out Mersa Matruh near the border with Libya, not to mention prewar Lebanon, perplexing Jerusalem or warm and friendly Amman, Jordan. Here and there you’ll learn more about ’70s Paris, Brussels, London, New York and even Seattle, Wash., the author’s hometown. Barrett’s dry, tongue-in-cheek humor is everywhere in these vignettes, which can be read in any order, and at 650-700 words, each tale takes only a few minutes to read. <strong>Experience glimpses into a world few writers ever write about.</strong> Enjoy the journey.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>"A riveting memoir of years of living dangerously" by the journalist and <em>New York Times</em>?bestselling author of <em>A Rumor of War</em> ( <em>Kirkus Reviews</em>).</strong><br /> As a journalist, Philip Caputo has covered many of the world's troubles, and in <em>Means of Escape</em>, he reveals in moving and clear-eyed prose how he made himself into a writer, traveler, and observer with the nerve to put himself at the center of conflict. As a young reporter he investigated the Mafia in Chicago, earning acclaim as well as threats against his safety. Later, he rode camels through the desert and enjoyed Bedouin hospitality; was kidnapped and held captive by Islamic extremists; and was targeted and hit by sniper fire in Beirut; with memories of Vietnam never far from the surface. And after it all, he went into Afghanistan. Caputo's goal has always been to bear witness to the crimes, ambitions, fears, ferocities, and hopes of humanity. With <em>Means of Escape</em>, he has done so. This powerful recounting of his life and adventures is now updated with a foreword that assesses the state of the world and the journalist's art.<br /> "An episodic, impressionistic, and dead-honest narrative that affords memorable as well as consequential insights into a chaotic era's noteworthy conflicts." ー <em>Kirkus Reviews</em><br /> "This is, make no mistake about it, a startlingly honest and brutal book. . . . The writing is suberb. Highly recommended for all." ー <em>Library Journal</em><br /> "One of the few absolutely essential writers at work today." ーRobert Olen Butler, Pulitzer Prize?winning author of <em>Mr. Spaceman</em></p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Fierce Ambition: The Life and Legend of War Correspondent Maggie Higgins【電子書籍】[ Jennet Conant ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>**“Mesmerizing.… Conant’s book has brought [Maggie Higgins] back to life.” ーAndrew Nagorski, <em>Wall Street Journal</em></p> <p>A spirited portrait of twentieth-century war correspondent Maggie Higgins and her tenacious fight to the top in a male-dominated profession.**</p> <p>Marguerite Higgins was both the scourge and envy of the journalistic world. A longtime reporter for the <em>New York Herald Tribune</em>, she first catapulted to fame with her dramatic account of the liberation of Dachau at the end of World War II. Brash, beautiful, ruthlessly competitive, and sexually adventurous, she forced her way to the front despite being told the combat zone was no place for a woman. Her headline-making exploits earned her a reputation for bravery bordering on recklessness and accusations of “advancing on her back,” trading sexual favors for scoops.</p> <p>While the <em>Herald Tribune</em> exploited her feminine appealーregularly featuring the photogenic "girl reporter" on its front pagesーit was Maggie’s dogged determination, talent for breaking news, and unwavering ambition that brought her success from one war zone to another. Her notoriety soared during the Cold War, and her daring dispatches from Korea garnered a Pulitzer Prize for foreign correspondenceーthe first granted to a woman for frontline reportingーwith the citation noting the unusual dangers and difficulties she faced because of her sex. A star reporter, she became part of the Kennedy brothers’ Washington circle, though her personal alliances and politics provoked bitter feuds with male rivals, who vilified her until her untimely death.</p> <p>Drawing on new and extensive research, including never-before-published correspondence and interviews with Maggie’s colleagues, lovers, and soldiers and generals who knew her in the field, journalist and historian Jennet Conant restores Maggie’s rightful place in history as a woman who paved the way for the next generation of journalists, and one of the greatest war correspondents of her time.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Italy's War for a Desert: Being Some Experiences of a War-Correspondent with the Italians in Tripoli【電子書籍】[ Francis McCullagh ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>"McCullagh's terrifying narrative has created a tremendous sensation." - <em>Humanitarian Review 1911</em><br /> "One of the most brilliant and certainly the most trenchant of newspaper war correspondents." - <em>Literary Digest 1913</em><br /> "McCullagh's book is the best and fullest account of these horrible deeds." -<em>Morel, The Black Man's Burden (1920)</em><br /> "Hot Italian blood must have boiled repeatedly under the pitiless scourging administered by Mr. McCullagh." -<em>The Nation, 1912</em></strong></p> <p>By 1911, Italy had been nursing a sentimental claim on the Turkish vilayet Tripoli for more than a generation, based on the fact that Tripoli is only a day's sail from Sicily, and that it was formerly a Roman province. After an ultimatum was rejected by the Ottomans, Italy began an invasion of Tripoli in October 1911.</p> <p>In his 1913 book "Italy's War for a Desert," seasoned Irish war correspondent Francis McCullagh does not spare the successors of Scipio's Roman legions, whom he accuses of wanton cruelty and cold-blooded slaughter. His book is an emphatically anti-Italian account of the conflict between Italy and Turkey, illustrated and enforced by things seen and heard which certainly do not redound to the glory of those who undertook the "pirate-raid," as Hamilcar Cipriani himself designated the Tripolitan expedition.</p> <p>Both the bone of contention between the two disputants was of little worth to Italy, the author declares, and the manner of its snatching from its ancient possessor was disgraceful and, in some of its details, unspeakably revolting. Incidents in plenty are supplied to prove the inhumanity of the invading army.</p> <p>In introducing his book, McCullagh explains that "I may seem in the following narrative to be antiItalian and pro-Turk, but I believe that, on the whole, I am fairly impartial. I sympathise with the Arabs because they are fighting very bravely for their country."</p> <p>In describing the aftermath, McCullagh writes:</p> <p>"In many humble families the bread-winner had been taken away, the little hut on the sea-shore or under the palm-trees had been burned, the little store of grain destroyed. Hardly had the massacres ceased when the Market Square and the courtyards of the mosques became crowded with the sick, the wounded, and the old. They had no food, no medicine, no resting-place save the bare ground. Cholera and other diseases made short work of them."</p> <p>The result of the Italian colonisation for the Libyan population was that by the mid-1930s it had been cut in half due to emigration, famine, and war casualties. Outside the conscious pride of having recovered a part of one of the divisions of the ancient Roman Empire not much had been achieved.</p> <p>About the author:</p> <p>Francis McCullagh (1874?1956) was an Irish journalist, war correspondent, and author. He began his journalism career as a staff reporter at the Glasgow Observer (later Scottish Catholic Observer), and would continue writing for the newspaper through 1906-1937. From 1898, he was a correspondent for the New York Herald. In 1903, he was living in Japan, working for the English-language newspaper The Japan Times. Observing the growing tension between the Empire of Japan and the Russian Empire, he studied the Russian language. In 1904, he moved to Port Arthur, the major Russian military base in Manchuria, obtaining a post as a correspondent for the Novi Kra? (New Land) newspaper of Port Arthur. At the start of the Russo-Japanese War, he became a non-military observer embedded within the Imperial Russian Army. In March 1905, he was evacuated as a prisoner of war, traveling from Dalny to Ujina on the Nippon Yusen liner Awa Maru.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Mambi-Land, or Adventures of a Herald Correspondent in Cuba A Critical Edition【電子書籍】[ James J. O'Kelly ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In late 1872, the New York <em>Herald</em> named James J. O’Kelly its special correspondent to Cuba, to cover what would later be known as the Ten Years’ War. O’Kelly was tasked with crossing Spanish lines, locating the insurgent camps, and interviewing the president of the Cuban republic, Carlos Manuel de C?spedes. O’Kelly became a political lightning rod when, after fulfilling his mission, he was arrested, court-martialed, and threatened with execution in Spanish Cuba. For the book that followed, <em>The Mambi-Land, or Adventures of a Herald Correspondent in Cuba,</em> O’Kelly assembled edited versions of the eighteen dispatches he sent to the Herald, some written in the remotest imaginable places in the Cuban interior.</p> <p><em>The Mambi-Land</em> constitutes the first book-length account of Cuba’s Ten Years’ War for independence from Spain (1868?1878) and provides a window on an understudied moment in U.S.-Cuba relations. More than recovering an important lost work, this critical edition draws attention to Cuba’s crucial place in American national consciousness in the post?Civil War period and represents a timely and significant contribution to our understanding of the complicated history of Cuba-U.S. relations.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

<p>In "My Year of the Great War," Frederick Palmer offers a compelling and deeply personal account of his experiences during World War I.

Frederick Palmer was an accomplished journalist and war correspondent whose firsthand experiences informed his literary voice. His background in journalism endowed him with a keen eye for detail and a profound understanding of the chaos of war. Palmer'??s insights into the human condition within the hellscape of battle illustrate his commitment to bearing witness to the unvarnished truths of conflict, seeking not only to inform but also to evoke empathy among his readers. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the literature of war or the historical context of World War I. Palmer's reflective storytelling invites readers to grapple with the complexities of courage, loss, and resilience.

We Chose to Speak of War and Strife The World of the Foreign Correspondent【電子書籍】[ John Simpson ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア

<p><strong>From distinguished foreign correspondent John Simpson, a fascinating history of what it is to risk life and limb to bring home news of the troubled world</strong></p> <p><strong>'Great stories, sometimes harrowing, sometimes hilarious'</strong> <em>Telegraph</em></p> <p>In corners of the globe where fault-lines seethe into bloodshed and civil war, foreign correspondents have, for hundreds of years, been engaged in uncovering the latest news and ? despite obstacles bureaucratic, political, violent ? reporting it by whatever means available. It's a working life that is difficult, exciting and undeniably glamorous.</p> <p><em>We Chose to Speak of War and Strife</em> brings us pivotal moments in our history ? from the Crimean War to Vietnam; the siege of Sarajevo to the fall of Baghdad ? through the eyes of those who risked life and limb to witness them first hand, and the astonishing tales of what it took to report them.<br /> These stories celebrate an endangered tradition.</p> <p>Where once despatches were trusted to the hands of a willing sea-captain, telegraph operator or stranger in an airport queue prepared to spirit a can of undeveloped film back to London, today the digital realm has transformed the relaying of the news ? even if the work of gathering it in the field has changed little.</p> <p>Weaving the tales of the greats of yesterday and today, such as Martha Gellhorn, Ernest Hemingway, Don McCullin and Marie Colvin, with extraordinary accounts from his own lifetime on the frontlines, this is a deeply personal book from a master of the profession, the most distinguished foreign correspondent of our time.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Honorable Correspondent【電子書籍】[ Henry Scholder ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>The freighter Twanee unloaded her cargo at a secret harbor on the Iranian side of the Persian Gulf and then hurriedly steamed away. The Twanee’s luck until then had been very good; on several occasions its Greek captain had seen Iraqi aircraft and was certain they had spotted him, yet he’d been spared. But that night, after reentering international waters, a missile attack sank the Twanee with all hands aboard.</p> <p>The disappearance of the Twanee complicated things for Sarah Tillinghast, an English investigative reporter, as the ship had been a clue within a fragmented tale of unusual goings-on in the Gulf War. Sarah’s assignment began with a tip from a quirky whistleblower employed by France’s hyper-secretive counter intelligence service, SEDCE.</p> <p>The war between Iraq and Iran lasted eight years, killing one and a half million people. Neither side could point to any tangible gains when it ended. To the arms merchants, including governments who kept the warring parties supplied, it had been a period of great prosperity. In that war, Saddam Hussein was friend to the Western Allies and many others as well, while Iran and its hostage taking leadership were anathema to nearly all.</p> <p>The exception was Count Bertrand “Bobo” de Bossier, head of SEDCE, a brilliant out-of-the-box thinker. Bobo constructed and implemented policies at odds with those of the others, whom he chose to keep uninformed of his views and doings. And since there was virtually no separation between Bobo’s personal and professional life, he also excluded his best friend and partner, his subordinate and lover, and his elected superiors.</p> <p>Sarah, whose pursuit of this story leads her to Bobo and his friends, is left to try and piece it all together. But what she discovers poses great risk both for her and the man she fell in love with along the way.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Almost Hemingway The Adventures of Negley Farson, Foreign Correspondent【電子書籍】[ Rex Bowman ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Would it surprise you to learn that there was a contemporary of Ernest Hemingway’s who, in his romantic questing and hell-or-high-water pursuit of life and his art, was closer to the Hemingwayesque ideal than Hemingway himself? <em>Almost Hemingway</em> relates the life of Negley Farson, adventurer, iconoclast, best-selling writer, foreign correspondent, and raging alcoholic who died in oblivion. Born only a few years before Hemingway, Farson had a life trajectory that paralleled and intersected Hemingway’s in ways that compelled writers for publications as divergent as the <em>Guardian</em> and <em>Field & Stream</em> to compare them. Unlike Hemingway, however, Farson has been forgotten.</p> <p>This high-flying and literate biography recovers Farson’s life in its multifaceted details, from his time as an arms dealer to Czarist Russia during World War I, to his firsthand reporting on Hitler and Mussolini, to his assignment in India, where he broke the news of Gandhi’s arrest by the British, to his excursion to Kenya a few years before the Mau Mau Uprising. Farson also found the time to publish an autobiography, <em>The Way of a Transgressor,</em> which made him an international publishing sensation in 1936, as well as <em>Going Fishing,</em> one of the most enduring of all outdoors books.</p> <p>F. Scott Fitzgerald, a fellow member of the Lost Generation whose art competed with a public image grander than reality, once confessed that while he had to rely on his imagination, Farson could simply draw from his own event-filled life. <em>Almost Hemingway</em> is the definitive window on that remarkable story.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Pacific War Uncensored A War Correspondent's Unvarnished Account of the Fight Against Japan【電子書籍】[ Harold Guard ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>A WWII reporter's dangerous adventures in Singapore, Malaya, Java, and more.</strong></p> <p>Harold Guard became a war correspondent by chance after he'd been invalided out of the navy following a submarine accident. Thereafter, working for United Press, he gained a front-row seat to many of the most dramatic battles and events of the century.</p> <p>In March 1942, Guard arrived in Australia, having narrowly escaped from Japanese forces invading Singapore and Java. His dispatches from that disastrous front prompted one observer to comment on "the crisis days when everybody except Harold Guard was trying to hush up the real situation." At the time, he was acclaimed by the Australian press as one of the top four newspapermen covering the war in the Pacific.</p> <p>Over the next three years, Guard was to have many more adventures reporting on the Pacific War, including firsthand experience flying with the US Air Force on twenty-two bombing missions, camping with Allied forces in the deadly jungles of New Guinea, and taking part in attacks from amphibious landing craft on enemy occupied territory. He also traveled into the undeveloped areas of Australia's northern territories to report on the construction of air bases being built in preparation for defending the country against the advancing Japanese.</p> <p>What made Harold Guard's achievements even more remarkable was that he was disabled and had to walk with a stiff right leg due to his navy injury. Despite this, he often reported from perilous situations at the front line, which gained him considerable notoriety within the newspaper world. Guard endeavored to give honest accounts, and this often brought him into conflict with the military censors. In this book, the full story of Guard's experiences and observations during the Pacific War have been reconstructed with the help of his dispatches, private correspondence, telegrams, and audio accounts. No longer subject to censorship, the starkly honest perceptions of how the Allies nearly failed and, at last, finally won the war can now be told.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

<p><em><em>From a former <em>Wall Street Journal</em> foreign correspondent</em>,</em> an exuberant memoir of life, love, and transformation on the frontlines of conflicts around the world**</p> <p>Growing up in 1970s Detroit, Lynda Schuster felt certain life was happening elsewhere. And as soon as she graduated from high school, she set out to find it.</p> <p><em>Dirty Wars and Polished Silver</em> is Schuster’s story of her life abroad as a foreign correspondent in war-torn countries, and, later, as the wife of a U.S. Ambassador. It chronicles her time working on a kibbutz in Israel, reporting on uprisings in Central America and a financial crisis in Mexico, dodging rocket fire in Lebanon, and grieving the loss of her first husband, a fellow reporter, who was killed only ten months after their wedding.</p> <p>But even after her second marriage, to a U.S. diplomat, all the black-tie parties and personal staff and genteel “Ambassatrix School” grooming in the world could not protect her from the violence of war.</p> <p>Equal parts gripping and charming, <em>Dirty Wars and Polished Silver</em> is a story about one woman’s quest for self-discoveryーonly to find herself, unexpectedly, more or less back where she started: wiser, saner, more resolved. And with all her limbs intact.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

In Extremis The Life and Death of the War Correspondent Marie Colvin【電子書籍】[ Lindsey Hilsum ]

<p><strong>An inspiring biography of the war reporter killed in Syria in 2012, whose life inspired the feature film</strong> <em><strong>A Private War</strong></em> <strong>, starring Rosamund Pike as Colvin.</strong></p> <p><strong>A</strong> <em><strong>New York Times Book Review</strong></em> <strong>Editors' Choice</strong></p> <p><strong>Finalist for the Costa Biography Award</strong></p> <p><strong>Long-listed for the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence</strong></p> <p><strong>Best Book of 2018,</strong> <em><strong>Esquire</strong></em> <strong>and</strong> <em><strong>Foreign Policy</strong></em></p> <p><strong>An Amazon Best Book of November, the</strong> <em><strong>Guardian</strong></em> <strong>Bookshop Book of November, and one of the</strong> <em><strong>Evening Standard</strong></em> <strong>'s Books to Read in November</strong><br /> When Marie Colvin was killed in an artillery attack in Homs, Syria, in 2012, at age fifty-six, the world lost a fearless and iconoclastic war correspondent who covered the most significant global calamities of her lifetime. <em>In Extremis</em>, written by her fellow reporter Lindsey Hilsum, is a thrilling investigation into Colvin's epic life and tragic death based on exclusive access to her intimate diaries from age thirteen to her death, interviews with people from every corner of her life, and impeccable research.<br /> After growing up in a middle-class Catholic family on Long Island, Colvin studied with the legendary journalist John Hersey at Yale, and eventually started working for <em>The Sunday Times</em> of London, where she gained a reputation for bravery and compassion as she told the stories of victims of the major conflicts of our time. She lost sight in one eye while in Sri Lanka covering the civil war, interviewed Gaddafi and Arafat many times, and repeatedly risked her life covering conflicts in Chechnya, East Timor, Kosovo, and the Middle East. Colvin lived her personal life in extremis, too: bold, driven, and complex, she was married twice, took many lovers, drank and smoked, and rejected society's expectations for women. Despite PTSD, she refused to give up reporting. Like her hero Martha Gellhorn, Colvin was committed to bearing witness to the horrifying truths of war, and to shining a light on the profound suffering of ordinary people caught in the midst of conflict.<br /> Lindsey Hilsum's <em>In Extremis</em> is a devastating and revelatory biography of one of the greatest war correspondents of her generation.</p> <p><strong>"Now, thanks to Hilsum's deeply reported and passionately written book, [Marie Colvin] has the full accounting that she deserves." ーJoshua Hammer,</strong> <em><strong>The New York Times</strong></em></p> <p><strong>"A rip-roaring life rendered extremely well." ー</strong> <em><strong>Kirkus Reviews</strong></em> <strong>(starred review)</strong></p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
