Captured The Forgotten Men of Guam【電子書籍】[ Roger Mansell ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In the years before the outbreak of the war in the Pacific, Guam was a paradise for the Navy, Marine and civilian employees of Pan American Airways, who found themselves stationed on the island. However their apprehension about the fate of the island increased as they anticipated a Japanese attack in the fall of 1941. Shortly after attack on Pearl Harbor, Guam was bombed and the Japanese invasion soon followed. Since Guam was not heavily fortified it soon fell to the invading Japanese. In the takeover of the island, the Japanese practiced a swift brutality against the captive Americans as well as native population, and then immediately removed the American military and civilian personnel to Japan. Only a lucky few escaped, including five Navy nurses and dependent Ruby Hellmers and her baby Charlene, who were transported back to America aboard the Swedish ship <em>Gripsholm</em> in mid-1942. In <em>Captured</em>, Mansell tells the story of the captives from Guam, whose story until now has largely been forgotten. Drawing upon interviews with survivors, diaries and archival records, Mansell documents the movements of American military and civilian men as they went from one Japanese POW camp to another, slowly starving as they performed slave labor for Japanese companies. Meanwhile, he describes the brutal horrors suffered by Guamian natives during Japan’s occupation of the island, especially as the Japanese prepared for American forces to re-take this U.S. possession in 1945. Moving stories of liberation, transportation home, and the aftermath of these horrific experiences are narrated as the book draws to a close. Mansell concludes that America’s lack of military preparation, disbelief in Japan’s ambitions in the Pacific, and focus on Europe all contributed to the captivity of more than three years of suffering for the forgotten Americans from Guam as the Pacific War raged around them. <em>Captured</em> was completed by historian Linda Goetz Holmes after the death of Roger Mansell.</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。 3,947円

From Bugle Boy to Battleship: A Battle of Saipan and Guam Veteran's Memoir【電子書籍】[ Walt F.J. Goodridge ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Born in California on December 28th, 1923, Lloyd Glick was a naive 18-year-old boy watching a movie at a theater in downtown Berkeley on Dec 7 1941, when they stopped the movie to announce Japan's bombing of Pearl Harbor. A few days after the attack, Lloyd, already an accomplished trumpet player as 2nd Trumpet Chair for the University of California Symphony, took his desire to serve his country, his passion for music, and his dream of attending the prestigous US Naval School of Music, and showed up at the Navy recruiting office in San Francisco. Four months later, with his parents' signed permission, he joined the United States Navy as a way of entering its Naval School music program. That decision would ultimately land him the position of Musician Second Class aboard the USS North Carolina as a member of the ship's band while it participated in the bombings of Saipan, Guam, Palau, Pohnpei, and battles throughout World War II's pivotal Pacific Campaign. Bugle Boy to Battleship is Lloyd's fascinating account of his two years at sea, as well as his return to visit the island of Saipan 70 years later. Bugle Boy to Battleship includes the actual emails that also tell the story of the unique relationship between Lloyd and his "tour guide" --an author living on Saipan--who became inspired by their correspondence to help Lloyd document his story for this and future generations.</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。 705円

<p>The historic battle of the Marines in the Pacific War to recapture Guam is recounted in this U.S. Marines history book. Some of the subjects covered include: Operation Forager, Medal of Honor recipients, taking of Chonito Ridge, Orote Peninsula, Fonte Ridge, General Robert E. Cushman, Colt .45 pistol, war dogs, General Obata.</p> <p>Here is an excerpt:</p> <p>With the instantaneous opening of a two-hour, ever-increasing bombardment by six battleships, nine cruisers, a host of destroyers and rocket ships, laying their wrath on the wrinkled black hills, rice paddies, cliffs, and caves that faced the attacking fleet on the west side of the island, Liberation Day for Guam began at 0530, 21 July 1944.</p> <p>Fourteen-inch guns belching fire and thunder set spectacular blossoms of flame sprouting on the fields and hillsides inland. It was all very plain to see in the glow of star shells which illuminated the shore, the ships, and the troops who lined the rails of the transports and LSTs (Landing Ships, Tank) which brought the U.S. Marines and soldiers there.</p> <p>The barrages, which at daylight would be enlarged by the strafing and bombing of carrier fighters, bombers, and torpedo planes, were the grand climax of 13 days (since 8 July) of unceasing prelanding softening-up. Indeed, carrier aircraft of Task Force 58 had been blasting Guam airfields since 11 June, while the first bombardment of the B-24s and B-25s of the Fifth, Seventh, and Thirteenth Air Forces fell as early as 6 May.</p> <p>Up at 0230 to a by-now traditional Marine prelanding breakfast of steak and eggs, the assault troops, laden with fighting gear, sheathed bayonets protruding from their packs, hurried and waited, while the loudspeakers shouted "Now here this ....

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>THE TRUE STORY OF UNITED STATES NAVY RADIOMAN GEORGE TWEED AND HIS 31 MONTHS OF SURVIVAL ON JAPANESE-HELD GUAM DURING WORLD WAR II</p> <p>“DANIEL DEFOE would have admired George Ray Tweed, the American seaman whose ingenuity and self-reliance have caught the imagination of modern America as Robinson Crusoe’s fascinated eighteenth century England. Defoe’s hero was engaged almost solely in a struggle for survival against nature.</p> <p>“Crusoe and Tweed were most alike in the genius for contrivance, and Tweed doesn’t suffer from comparison with his famous prototype. To construct his shelter and furniture, Crusoe brought from his ship planks and boards and a complete carpenter’s chest of tools, in addition to two saws, an ax, “an abundance of hatchets,” a hammer, nails and several knives. Tweed built his equipment without benefit of nails, using only a handsaw, a machete, and a pocketknife. He went on to fashion, with crude materials, a lamp, a lantern, and an ingenious alarm system. At one time he had electric lights in a part of the country where not even the best homes enjoyed such luxury. He kept in repair an almost worn-out typewriter, on which he produced a one-page underground newspaper. He tore apart an apparently useless radio, put it together again, and brought in news from a station thousands of miles away.</p> <p>“Tweed was born with common sense. A roustabout life as lumberman, stevedore, and mechanic gave him self-reliance; hunting expeditions in Oregon and California taught him woodsmanship; the Navy instructed him in the techniques of communication. It was as if all his early life had been preparation for the grueling experience which he alone, of those who fled before the invading Japanese, survived.</p> <p>“I am glad to be the one to tell Tweed’s story. In all important respects it is related here exactly as he gave it to me.”</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。 132円

Guam Operations Of The 77th Division - 21 July-10 August 1944 [Illustrated Edition]【電子書籍】[ Anon ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Illustrated with 27 maps and 33 Illustrations<br /> THE INVASION OF THE SOUTHERN MARIANAS in June and July of 1944 was part of a coordinated effort by U. S. forces to gain bases within striking distance by air of the Philippines and the Japanese home islands. The enemy position in the Pacific was weakening under strong Allied offensives, which moved along two lines converging on the Japanese inner zone. From Australia the Allied offensive had developed on an axis northwest along New Guinea and beyond the Bismarck Sea, and from Hawaii it had moved to the west through the Marshall Islands. The advance along both lines had depended upon the conquest of enemy islands selected to form a system of supporting garrisons from which air and sea power could neutralize the remaining enemy bases in the area.<br /> The seizure of Guam in July-August 1944 added another base to our growing chain of possessions encircling the Japanese homeland. Marine troops made the initial landings on Guam and were aided in capturing the island by army units, comprised chiefly of the 77th Infantry Division. Guam tells the Army’s part of the campaign.</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。 132円

Without it, many evacuees would have died somewhere in the Pacific Ocean.</p> <p>This book chronicles a part of the first mass migration of Vietnamese "boat people," before and after the fall of Saigon in April 1975--a story still unfolding almost half a century later.</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。 2,563円

Forgotten Island: The WWII Story of One Sailor's Survival on Japanese-Occupied Guam【電子書籍】[ John J. Domagalski ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The opening days of World War II in the Pacific found the island of Guam in the Mariana Islands to be an isolated American possession that was nearly surrounded by Japanese territory. The island came under immediate attack with the start of hostilities. The small garrison of marines, navy personnel, and Guamanians surrendered to Japanese invaders after offering only token resistance.</p> <p>However, not all of the American servicemen capitulated. Navy radioman George Ray Tweed was one of six sailors who disappeared into the thick interior jungle. The Japanese occupiers quickly solidified control over the island and began a ruthless search for the missing sailors. Five of the Americans were eventually found and mercilessly killed. The sole survivor, Tweed spent the next thirty-one months on the runーsometimes literally running for his lifeーstaying just one step ahead of his hunters. He continually eluded his pursuers through the use of his survival skills, some good luck, and the generous help of Guamanian civilians, often at great risk to their own safety.</p> <p>During the two and a half years the sailor remained in hiding, American forces were fighting their way across the Pacific. The events reached a crescendo in the summer of 1944 with the arrival of the American fleet in Guam. A major naval battle, an amphibious invasion, the rescue of George Tweed, and a brutal fight to liberate Guam all combine to bring this epic story to a close.</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。 1,571円

The Japanese Administration of Guam, 1941-1944 A Study of Occupation and Integration Policies, with Japanese Oral Histories【電子書籍】[ Wakako Higuchi ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>During World War II, Guam was the only American territory where Japan "administered" the occupied local people. "Organic integration" was the purpose and goal of the Japanese Navy's two and a half year administration of the local Chamorro people, but the navy's attempts failed before U.S. reinvasion in July 1944. By emphasizing the extent of Japan's Mandate in Micronesia, this book examines the Japanese Navy's social, economic, and cultural approaches to "organic integration." Using abundant primary data, the author gives a clear and verifiable picture of the whole occupation period and the Japanese ruling ideology for not only Guam but the entire region--and finds new ways to consider just why Japan went to war. Personal testimonies and documents are included to illustrate the Japanese mentality of war as it unfolded.</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。 3,204円

And she wanted to be a contributor to positive images of young black girls with a mother and a father because she didn't see a lot of young black girls, especially of a darker hue, growing up in books. Along with sharing the loving relationship of Hildie and Carlos, the author wanted to inspire "the desire" to know someone that looks different from you. Per T.S. Edwards, "I believe part of racism is people not taking the time to talk, to learn, or to empathize with someone who looks different. So maybe if we can start with the children, inspiring them to want to travel and then to want to learn and see different people and different cultures, there is hope for us all."</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。 567円

Marines In World War II - The Recapture Of Guam [Illustrated Edition]【電子書籍】[ Major O.R. Lodge, USMC ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Set in the Marianas group of islands is the American possession of Guam, U.S. territory since 1898; it was the captured by the Japanese soon after the infamous attack on Pearl Harbor and served as a symbol of the Japanese expansion. The American Forces sailed into view of Guam in 1944 determined to recapture the island for strategic and political purposes, but knew that the Japanese defenders take a heavy toll of them from their prepared positions. The story of the capture of the island is an epic of courage, bloodshed, fierce resistance by the Japanese and the indomitable will to conquer of the U.S. Marines.<br /> Contains 99 photos and 32 maps and charts.<br /> “I have always had a feeling of deep satisfaction in having been the commander of one of the assault elements that returned the American flag to Guam. The island once more stands ready to fulfill its destiny as an American fortress in the Pacific.<br /> The conquest of Guam was a decisive triumph of combined arms over a formidable Japanese defensive force which took full advantage of the island’s rugged terrain.<br /> The heroic action of the veteran Marines who seized Orote Peninsula and Apra Harbor gave the Navy a much-needed advance base for further operations in the Pacific. Once marine and Army units captured northern Guam, engineers moved in and out from the jungle the airfields from which the Twentieth Air Force launched B-29 raids, bringing the full realization of war to the Japanese homeland.”-LEMUEL C. SHEPHERD, JR., GENERAL, U. S. MARINE CORPS, COMMANDANT OF THE MARINE CORPS</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。 466円

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア

Now housed in the Royal Library, Copenhagen, Denmark, and viewable online at www.kb.dk/permalink/2006/poma/info/en/frontpage.htm, the original manuscript has 1,189 pages accompanied by 398 full-page drawings that constitute the most accurate graphic depiction of Inca and colonial Peruvian material culture ever done.</p> <p>Working from the original manuscript and consulting with fellow Quechua- and Spanish-language experts, Roland Hamilton here provides the most complete and authoritative English translation of approximately the first third of <em>The First New Chronicle and Good Government</em>.

Compet?ncias na Forma??o do Professor de Portugu?s como L?ngua Materna (PLM) uma perspectiva intercultural【電子書籍】[ Jos? Nilton Santos da Cruz Junior ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>O conceito de compet?ncia dentro dos estudos lingu?sticos tem sido amplamente debatido e reinterpretado ao longo do tempo. Professores que atuam no campo de ensino de l?nguas, materna e estrangeira, recorrem a esse conceito no intuito de elaborar estrat?gias que sejam eficientes para a pr?xis pedag?gica frente ? realidade diversificada de uma sala de aula. Entretanto, a no??o de compet?ncia, ou compet?ncias, abarca uma s?rie de componentes que se agregam ao voc?bulo "compet?ncia" - o que justamente lhe d? um car?ter m?ltiplo. A Pesquisa desenvolvida e apresentada nessa disserta??o perfaz o percurso hist?rico da no??o de compet?ncia dentro dos estudos lingu?sticos contempor?neos a partir dos dois autores que preconizaram o debate sobre o conceito exposto: Noam Chomsky (1965), com a no??o de Compet?ncia Lingu?stica e Dell Hymes (1972), com a no??o de Compet?ncia Comunicativa. Tendo como base os trabalhos iniciais em torno das propostas de tais autores, faz-se uma considera??o do que os documentos oficiais que regem a educa??o no Brasil- os PCN e as OCEM- (Par?metros Curriculares Nacionais e Orienta??es Curriculares para o Ensino M?dio, respectivamente) dizem a respeito da no??o apresentada e sob que perspectiva a introduzem no contexto educacional brasileiro. Al?m disso, como parte fundamental da pesquisa, trabalhos posteriores de alguns dos autores que se propuseram a rediscutir e ampliar a no??o inaugural de Chomsky (1965) e Hymes (1972), a saber, Canale & Swain (1980), Canale (1983), Celce-Murcia, Dornyei & Thurrell (1995), Almeida Filho (1993, 1999, 2000) e Basso (2000, 2008) s?o analisados e comparados no que tange ?s propostas por eles elaboradas. O cotejo das propostas de modelos te?ricos de compet?ncias para o ensino-aprendizagem de l?nguas desses autores resulta da elabora??o de uma proposta alternativa de modelo te?rico que leve em considera??o o componente intercultural como aspecto fundamental da forma??o dos professores de Portugu?s como l?ngua materna (PLM), bem como a inser??o de outras cinco compet?ncias m?nimas necess?rias ?queles que atuar?o nas salas de aula promovendo o di?logo intercultural mediado pela L?ngua Portuguesa no contexto de l?ngua materna. Para tanto, discute-se a rela??o entre interculturalidade e ensino-aprendizagem no intuito de justificar a inser??o da compet?ncia intercultural no quadro de compet?ncias m?nimas ? forma??o do professor de PLM.</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。 1,200円
