 1637: The Pacific Initiative【電子書籍】[ Iver Cooper ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞NEW RING OF FIRE SERIES ENTRY FROM IVER P. COOPER＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞A cosmic catastrophe, the Ring of Fire, strands the West Virginia town of Grantville back in time in the middle of the Thirty Years War. One of its ripple effects is that Japan has pulled back from a policy of isolation and staked out its own claims on the west coast of North America. But it is not the only power interested in that part of the New World, and the native Americans have also responded, in different ways, to the unexpected colonists. And there are conflicts among the colonists themselves.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In settling the fate of this part of the New World, a few remarkable individuals have an outsize role to play: Oyamada Isamu, a samurai on his first independent command; Yells-at-Bears, a young native woman of Vancouver Island; Father Blanco, a Jesuit priest and former missionary; and Iroha Data-hime, the daughter of the Grand Governor of New Nippon.＜/p＞ ＜p＞At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).＜/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。 | 1,491円 |
 Midnight in the Pacific GuadalcanalーThe World War II Battle That Turned the Tide of War【電子書籍】[ Joseph Wheelan ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞A sweeping narrative history of America's first major offensive of WII: the brutal campaign to take Japanese-occupied Guadalcanal.＜/strong＞＜br /＞ From August to November of 1942, US Marines, sailors, and pilots struggled against an implacable enemy: Japanese soldiers, inculcated with the ＜em＞bushido＜/em＞ tradition of death before dishonor. The glittering prize was the strategically decisive Henderson Airfield.＜br /＞ The bitter slugfest dragged on with heavy losses on both sides. More American sailors died in these battles than in all previous US wars. Each side lost twenty-four warships, and the air war claimed more than 500 US planes. Meanwhile, starving Japanese soldiers called it "the island of death."＜br /＞ In the end, American Marines, sailors, and airmen had finally halted the Japanese juggernaut that had whirled through Asia and the Pacific for five years. Guadalcanal was America's first major ground victory against Japan and, most importantly, the Pacific War's turning point.＜br /＞ Drawing on vivid accounts written by the combatants, along with Marine Corps and Army archives and oral histories, ＜em＞Midnight in the Pacific＜/em＞ is both a sweeping narrative and a compelling drama of individual Marines, soldiers, and sailors caught in the crosshairs of 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。 | 1,921円 |
 The Rise of Pacific Literature Decolonization, Radical Campuses, and Modernism【電子書籍】[ Matthew Hayward ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞Winner, 2025 Modernist Studies Association Book Prize＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞Winner, 2025 Choice Outstanding Academic Title＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞Shortlisted, 2025 Literary Encyclopedia Book Prize＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞In the 1960s and 1970s, the staff and students of two newly founded universities in the Pacific Islands helped foster a golden age of Oceanian literature. At the University of Papua New Guinea and the University of the South Pacific, bold experiments in curriculum design recentered literary studies around a Pacific modernity. Rejecting the established British colonial model, writer-scholars placed Pacific oratory and a growing body of Oceanian writing at the heart of the syllabus. From this local core, students ventured outward to contemporary postcolonial literatures, where they saw modernist techniques repurposed for a decolonizing world. Only then did they turn to foundational modernist texts, encountered at last as a set of creative tools rather than a canon to be copied or learned by rote.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞The Rise of Pacific Literature＜/em＞ reveals the transformative role and radical adaptations of global modernisms in this golden age. Maebh Long and Matthew Hayward examine the reading and teaching of Pacific oral narratives, European and American modernisms, and African, Caribbean, and Indian literature, tracing how Oceanian writers appropriated and reworked key texts and techniques. They identify the local innovations and international networks that spurred Pacific literature’s golden age by reading crucial works against the poetry, prose, and plays on the syllabi of the new universities. Placing internationally recognized writers such as Albert Wendt, Subramani, Konai Helu Thaman, Marjorie Crocombe, and John Kasaipwalova alongside lesser-known authors of works published in Oceanian little magazines, this book offers a wide-ranging new account of Pacific literary history that tells a fresh story about modernism’s global itineraries and transformations.＜/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。 | 4,932円 |
 First in Time A Pacific Transcription【電子書籍】[ Kurtis R. Kallenbach ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞There is a legal maxim, "fictio cedit veritati" that means fictions yields to truth. "First in Time" includes the transcription of conversation between two longtime "pacifists" which clearly evidences a "Living Truth" beyond the presumption of any fictitious record or narrative created specifically to gain access to One's genuine nature via trespass, as well as a highly deductive and learned exposition by the Author as to the lawful scope of such enlightened testimony. It is a must read for anyone with "eyes to see" the absurdity and confusion of a world completely devoid of 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。 | 1,326円 |

 The War in the South Pacific【電子書籍】[ Jon Diamond ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞The Japanese invaded the Solomon Islands in May 1942 with the aim of building an airfield at Guadalcanal. After an epic six month struggle they were repulsed and the island became a staging base for US Admiral Halsey and his South PacificForce. Comprising powerful naval, marine and army assets as well as land and carrier-based aircraft, Halseys Forces mission was to neutralise the Japanese presence in the South Pacific before moving on to Japan itself. As explained and depicted in this fascinating book, the campaign was eventually successful but only after some of the bitterest fighting of the Second World War. The fanatical opposition called for extreme measures from US, British and Australian land, seas and air forces. With detailed narrative and captions, the many archival photographs in The War in the South Pacific make for a superb record of this legendary conflict.＜/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。 | 1,120円 |
 The Pacific War The Strategy, Politics, and Players That Won the War【電子書籍】[ William B. Hopkins ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞This "important comprehensive study" of WWII in the Pacific examines the high-level decision-making and strategy that led to victory ( ＜em＞Roanoke Times＜/em＞).＜/strong＞＜br /＞ Once the stories have been told of battles won and lost, most of what happens in a war remains a mystery. So it has been with accounts of World War II in the Pacific, a complex conflict whose nature is often obscured by simple chronological narratives. In ＜em＞The Pacific War＜/em＞, William B. Hopkins, a Marine Corps veteran of the Pacific war and respected military history author, opens the story of the Pacific campaign to a broader and deeper view.＜br /＞ Hopkins investigates the strategies, politics, and personalities that shaped the fighting. His regional approach to this complex war conducted on land, sea, and air offers an insightful perspective on how this multifaceted conflict unfolded. As expansive as the immense reaches of the Pacific, and as focused as the most intensive pinpoint attack on a strategic island, Hopkins' account offers a fresh way of understanding the howsーand more significantly, the whysーof the Pacific War.＜/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。 | 1,921円 |

 Black Rhythms of Peru Reviving African Musical Heritage in the Black Pacific【電子書籍】[ Heidi Feldman ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞Winner of the IASPM's Woody Guthrie Award (2007)＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞In the late 1950s to 1970s, an Afro-Peruvian revival brought the forgotten music and dances of Peru's African musical heritage to Lima's theatrical stages. The revival conjured newly imagined links to the past in order to celebrateーand to some extent recreateーBlack culture in Peru. In this groundbreaking study of the Afro-Peruvian revival and its aftermath, Heidi Carolyn Feldman reveals how Afro-Peruvian artists remapped blackness from the perspective of the "Black Pacific," a marginalized group of African diasporic communities along Latin America's Pacific coast. Feldman's "ethnography of remembering" traces the memory projects of charismatic Afro-Peruvian revival artists and companies, including Jos? Durand, Nicomedes and Victoria Santa Cruz, and Per? Negro, culminating with Susana Baca's entry onto the global world music stage in the 1990s. Readers will learn how Afro-Peruvian music and dance genres, although recreated in the revival to symbolize the ancient and forgotten past, express competing modern beliefs regarding what constitutes "Black Rhythms of Peru."＜/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。 | 3,050円 |

 Pacific Skies American Flyers in World War II【電子書籍】[ Jerome Klinkowitz ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞From 1941 to 1945 the skies over the Pacific Ocean afforded the broadest arena for battle and the fiercest action of air combat during World War II. It was in the air above the Pacific that America's involvement in the war began. It was in these skies that air power launched from carriers became a new form of engagement and where the war ultimately ended with kamikaze attacks and with atomic bombs dropped over Japan.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Throughout the conflict American flyers felt a compelling call to supplement the official news and military reports. In vivid accounts written soon after combat and in reflective memoirs recorded in the years after peace came, both pilots and crew members detailed their stories of the action that occurred in the embattled skies. Their first-person testimonies describe a style of warfare invented at the moment of need and at a time when the outcome was anything but certain.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Gathering more than a hundred personal narratives from Americans and from Japanese, ＜em＞Pacific Skies＜/em＞ recounts a history of air combat in the Pacific theater. Included are the words of such famous aces and bomber pilots as Joe Foss, Pappy Boyington, Dick Bong, and Curtis Lemay, as well as the words of many rank-and-file airmen. Together their stories express fierce individualism and resourcefulness and convey the vast panorama of war that included the skies over Pearl Harbor, Wake, and Guadalcanal and missions from Saipan and Tinian.＜/p＞ ＜p＞As ＜em＞Pacific Skies＜/em＞ recounts the perilous lives of pilots in their own words, Jerome Klinkowitz weaves the individual stories into a gripping historical narrative that exposes the shades of truth and fiction that can become blurred over time. A book about experiencing and remembering, ＜em＞Pacific Skies＜/em＞ also is a story of unique perspectives on the war.＜/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。 | 3,980円 |

 The Future of the United States-Australia Alliance Evolving Security Strategy in the Indo-Pacific【電子書籍】 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞The United States-Australia alliance has been an important component of the US-led system of alliances that has underpinned regional security in the Indo-Pacific since 1945. However, recent geostrategic developments, in particular the rise of the People’s Republic of China, have posed significant challenges to this US-led regional order. In turn, the growing strategic competition between these two great powers has generated challenges to the longstanding US-Australia alliance. Both the US and Australia are confronting a changing strategic environment, and, as a result, the alliance needs to respond to the challenges that they face. The US needs to understand the challenges and risks to this vital relationship, which is growing in importance, and take steps to manage it. On its part, Australia must clearly identify its core common interests with the US and start exploring what more it needs to do to attain its stated policy preferences.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book consists of chapters exploring US and Australian perspectives of the Indo-Pacific, the evolution of Australia-US strategic and defence cooperation, and the future of the relationship. Written by a joint US-Australia team, the volume is aimed at academics, analysts, students, and the security and business communities.＜/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。 | 7,129円 |

 Asia-Pacific Perspectives on International Humanitarian Law【電子書籍】 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Place is inextricably linked to history by way of culture, language, philosophy, faith and the development of worldviews. The richness and depth of experience of the Asia-Pacific region has been under-studied, over-simplified and under-appreciated. This book addresses that lacuna in the subject area of international humanitarian law. Drawing on authoritative perspectives and interviews with experts in and on this topic, including four of the region's most distinguished international judges, forty-one chapters thematically examine the development of international humanitarian law; practice and application of international humanitarian law; implementation and enforcement of international humanitarian law; and looking to the future and enhancing compliance with international humanitarian law. The expert contributors draw out unique features, providing fresh insights to scholarship. Contributions on and from the area also grapple with the regional commitments to humanitarianism generally, illuminating how and why international humanitarian law might be more readily accepted or ignored in armed conflicts in the region.＜/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。 | 35,288円 |
 Flagship The Cruiser HMAS Australia II and the Pacific War on Japan【電子書籍】[ Mike Carlton ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞＜strong＞The cruiser HMAS ＜em＞Australia II＜/em＞ and the Pacific War on Japan＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞In 1924, the grand old battle cruiser HMAS ＜em＞Australia I＜/em＞ was sunk off Sydney Heads. Once she had been the pride of the navy and the nation. She had saved Australia from an attack by a German squadron in the Pacific in World War I.＜/p＞ ＜p＞But after the war she was obsolete, and a victim in the race to disarm after WWI. It was a day of national mourning when they blew the bottom out of her; she went to her sea grave smothered in flowers and wreaths sent from around the country.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Four years later, in 1928, the RAN acquired a new ship of the same name, the fast and modern heavy cruiser HMAS ＜em＞Australia II＜/em＞. During the Depression of the early 30s the navy virtually rotted on the beach ? until the world so belatedly awoke to the menace of Hitler's Germany.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Australia＜/em＞ saw her first action of World War II against the Vichy French, during the abortive 1940 attempt to install the young General de Gaulle as free French leader in Dakar, West Africa. She patrolled the North Atlantic on the lookout for German battleships and ? in a feat of amazing seamanship ? rescued the crew of a downed RAF Coastal Command aircraft in the teeth of an Atlantic gale. She was later bombed by the Luftwaffe in Liverpool.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Australia＜/em＞ returned home to join the war against the Japanese, as the flagship of the RAN. Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane were flooded with Americans 'overpaid, oversexed and over here'. Many Australian servicemen resented the Yanks and their magnetic attraction for the local girls. The so-called Battle of Brisbane in 1942 was two days and nights of out-of-control brawling and rioting, with the Americans on one side and the Australians on the other. One Australian was killed, and dozens of other men were wounded. The whole affair was heavily censored.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In March 1942, the ship was stunned by a murder. One night at sea a sailor, Stoker Riley, was found stabbed and bleeding to death on the fo'c's'le. Before he died, he named his two attackers, fellow stokers Gordon and Elias. They'd tried to kill him, he said, because he'd threatened to expose their homosexual activities in the ship. At a hastily arranged court martial, Gordon and Elias were found guilty and sentenced to death under British Admiralty law. That provoked a major constitutional row, because the death penalty did not apply in Australia. Eventually they were reprieved.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Only weeks later ＜em＞Australia＜/em＞ fought in the Battle of the Coral Sea near Papua New Guinea, the first sea battle to stop the Japanese advance in the Pacific. She was heavily attacked and bombed from the air but, with brilliant ship-handling, escaped unscathed.＜/p＞ ＜p＞That luck did not last. In 1944 she took part in the greatest sea fight of all time, the Battle of Leyte Gulf, which returned the American General Douglas MacArthur to the Philippines. Australia was struck by a kamikaze bomber, killing her captain and 28 other men.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The next year, 1945, she was hit again and again, by no fewer than four kamikaze planes on four successive days, with another 44 men killed. She was, in fact, attacked by more kamikaze aircraft than any other allied ship in WWII.＜/p＞ ＜p＞That ended her war. She retired gracefully, laden with battle honours, and was scrapped in 1956 ? the last of her name, for the navy no longer uses ＜em＞Australia＜/em＞ for its ships.＜/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。 | 4,376円 |
 Rites, Rights and Rhythms A Genealogy of Musical Meaning in Colombia's Black Pacific【電子書籍】[ Michael Birenbaum Quintero ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Colombia has the largest black population in the Spanish-speaking world, but Afro-Colombians have long remained at the nation's margins. Their recent irruption into the political, social, and cultural spheres is tied to appeals to cultural difference, dramatized by the traditional music of Colombia's majority-black Southern Pacific region, often called currulao. Yet that music remains largely unknown and unstudied despite its complexity, aesthetic appeal, and social importance. ＜em＞Rites, Rights & Rhythms: A Genealogy of Musical Meaning in Colombia's Black Pacific＜/em＞ is the first book-length academic study of currulao, inquiring into the numerous ways it has been used: to praise the saints, to grapple with modernization, to dramatize black politics, to perform the nation, to generate economic development and to provide social amelioration in a context of war. Author Michael Birenbaum Quintero draws on both archival and ethnographic research to trace these and other understandings of how currulao has been understood, illuminating a history of struggles over the meanings of currulao that are also struggles over the meanings of blackness in Colombia. Moving from the eighteenth century to the present, ＜em＞Rites, Rights & Rhythms＜/em＞ asks how musical meaning is made, maintained, and sometimes abandoned across historical contexts as varied as colonial slavery, twentieth-century national populism, and neoliberal multiculturalism. What emerges is both a rich portrait of one of the hemisphere's most important and understudied black cultures and a theory of history traced through the performative practice of currulao.＜/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。 | 5,073円 |

Comprehending the region's logistical structure and its institutions is of pivotal importance for businesses, researchers and policy-makers.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The flow of goods, people and information constitutes the global and local economic system. Through a unique analysis of this system and the transport and communications technologies that sustain it, Peter J. Rimmer provides a framework for identifying the multilayered networks and gateways in which the Asian-Pacific Rim s logistics are embedded. Highlighting important structural and institutional features, the role of corporations (money) and states (power) in configuring global and local markets is illustrated by case studies drawn from across the world s major economic regions. This book addresses evolving challenges for policy-makers, arising from the extension of manufacturing and retailing supply chains across national borders, and from globalizing logistics services.＜/p＞ ＜p＞By deepening knowledge and viewpoints on these issues, the well-illustrated Asian-Pacific Rim Logistics is essential reading for students exploring global logistics, supply chain management, international business, transportation, freight logistics and development studies.

 Airpower Employment Of The Fifth Air Force In The World War II Southwest Pacific Theater【電子書籍】[ Major James A. Barr ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞This research project studies the employment of airpower by the Fifth Air Force, under Gen George C. Kenney, in the Southwest Pacific Theater during World War II. The research began with two basic assumptions. First, it assumed that the strategic bombardment theory developed by the Air Corps Tactical School in the 1930s was the definitive doctrine of the Air Corps upon entry into World War II. Second, it assumed that General Kenney and his staff were required to develop a new doctrine for airpower employment since the situation in the Southwest Pacific did not lend itself to strategic bombardment of the Japanese industrial web. The research process proved both of these assumptions invalid.＜br /＞ Study of historical records, personal accounts, and subsequent historical writings in several areas revealed that there was no clear and consistent doctrine for the employment of airpower...＜br /＞ General Kenney assumed command of the Fifth Air Force with a clear vision of how to employ air forces to defeat the enemy. His diverse background gave him a balanced view of the roles airpower should play, and he was not convinced by the strategic bombardment theory that claimed invincibility for the bomber. His World War I experiences and teachings at the Air Corps Tactical School provided a strong belief in the importance of air superiority and attack aviation. He was innovative in modifying tactics and equipment, and in developing new roles for airpower as the situation dictated...＜br /＞ This study surveys the development of airpower doctrine beginning with World War followed by major developments during the interwar period in several arenas. It then looks at the varied aspects of Gen George C. Kenney's career which prepared him to command the Fifth Air Force in the Southwest Pacific Theater during World War II. Finally, it considers General Kenney's employment of airpower in light of the pre-war doctrine development.＜/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。 | 150円 |

 Lessons from Forest Decentralization Money, Justice and the Quest for Good Governance in Asia-Pacific【電子書籍】 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞The decentralization of control over the vast forests of the world is moving at a rapid pace, with both positive and negative ramifications for people and forests themselves. The fresh research from a host of Asia-Pacific countries described in this book presents rich and varied experience with decentralization and provides important lessons for other regions. Beginning with historical and geographical overview chapters, the book proceeds to more in-depth coverage of the region's countries.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Research findings stress rights, roles and responsibilities on the one hand, and organization, capacity-building, infrastructure and legal aspects on the other. With these overarching themes in mind, the authors take on many controversial topics and address practical challenges related to financing and reinvestment in sustainable forest management under decentralized governance. Particular efforts have been made to examine decentralization scales from the local to the national, and to address gender issues. The result is a unique examination of decentralization issues in forestry with clear lessons for policy, social equity, forest management, research, development and conservation in forested areas across the globe from the tropics to temperate regions.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Published with CIFOR＜/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。 | 11,440円 |

 General Douglas MacArthur and Admiral Chester W. Nimitz The Lives and Careers of America’s Commanders-in-Chief in the Pacific Theater during World War II【電子書籍】 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞The Americans would eventually push the Japanese back across the Pacific, and one of the most instrumental leaders in the effort was Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, who commanded the U.S. Pacific Fleet and helped coordinate joint operations with the legendary General Douglas MacArthur, the Supreme Commander, Southwest Pacific Area. The ensuing strategies would lead to decisive operations at places like Midway, Iwo Jima, Okinawa, and others before the use of the atomic bombs compelled Japan’s surrender in August 1945.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Today, Nimitz’s name doesn’t ring as many bells as his counterpart’s, because of all the military men America produced during the 19th and 20th centuries, it’s hard to find one as important, successful, and controversial as General MacArthur. The son of a Civil War veteran, MacArthur rose to become the most instrumental commander in the Pacific Theater during World War II. His legendary return to the Philippines in 1944 made good on one of the war’s most famous vows, and it was MacArthur who fittingly oversaw the occupation and reconstruction of Japan following the war.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Given his long and celebrated career, MacArthur was the obvious choice to lead the newly created United Nations’ troops during the Korean War, but his arguments over war strategy and policy eventually led to his controversial firing by President Harry Truman in 1951. After that, in his own words, he “faded away,” living out his remaining days on the top floor of the Waldorf Hotel until his death in 1964. For many with a conservative disposition he remains a hero who, had he been listened to, would have prevented the current impasse with the rogue state that is modern North Korea. For some liberal thinkers he was dangerously obsessive while wholly ignorant of geopolitics, and he has been branded as a general who would have used atomic weapons and potentially triggered the third world war.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The truth is far more difficult to discern and much more subtle. Douglas MacArthur was one of the most intelligent soldiers America has produced, and he was also one of the most prominent statesmen of the 20th century. He made his mark from flamboyant staff officer in the Vera Cruz expedition of 1914 to United Nations Commander in the Korean War. Along the way he found fame in World War I, participated in the controversial Bonus Army incident, lost and won campaigns in World War II, and served as Army Chief of Staff, Superintendent at West Point and as effective ruler of Japan. Rarely out of the limelight, MacArthur was as much an administrator as he was a soldier and a combat commander, and in all of his endeavors he found success and controversy.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞General Douglas MacArthur and Admiral Chester W. Nimitz: The Lives and Careers of America’s Commanders-in-Chief in the Pacific Theater during World War II＜/em＞ chronicles the dramatic paths each one took on the way to becoming the two most important Americans in charge in the Pacific. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about General MacArthur and Admiral Nimitz like never before.＜/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。 | 718円 |

 Rising India and China Strategic Rivalry in the Himalayas and the Indo- Pacific, Volume 2【電子書籍】[ B. R. Deepak ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞This book, part of a two-volume exploration, examines the trajectory of Sino-Indian relations, spanning from the aftermath of 1962 war in the Himalayas to the growing rivalries in the Indo-Pacific. It scrutinizes the decade-long diplomatic freeze post-1962, analysing China’s propaganda, collusion with Pakistan, and supporting insurgency in India’s northeast. It delves into the rebalancing approaches starting from Rajiv Gandhi’s pivotal 1988 China visit to finding an equilibrium with China and then losing it after three decades owing to widening asymmetries with China, resulting in the crisis of confidence building and a prolonged military standoff in the Western Sector in the aftermath of the Galwan face off. Furthermore, it explores the Indian choices for finding a new equilibrium with China navigating China’s discourse on the Indo-Pacific strategy, India’s equations with major powers, and makes enquiries into China’s military modernization and implications to India in a complex security environment influenced by internal and external factors, economic considerations, and global power dynamics.
