America’s Covert Border War The Untold Story of the Nation’s Battle to Prevent Jihadist Infiltration【電子書籍】[ Todd Bensman ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>This thirteen-year work of journalism finally settles one of the nation’s most controversial and politically powerful ideas about the American southern border: that Islamic jihadists might infiltrate it and commit terrorist acts. Perhaps no other idea about the border has sown more conflict, claims, counterclaims, rebuttals, and false narratives on all sides.</p> <p>This book provides a first comprehensive neutral baseline of truth about the threat, goring oxen on both sides of the partisan divide. It documents an ambitious and intrigue-laden covert American war on terror effort that stretches from the Mexican border to the tip of South America. Its existence to protect the homeland from terrorist infiltration was often regarded as entirely imaginedーuntil migrating jihadists recently started killing and wounding hundreds in Europe.</p> <p>Americans concerned by unchecked global migration, porous borders, and national security also may feel surprised to learn that thousands of long-haul migrants from the Islamic world similarly breach the US-Mexican border each yearーamong them hardened jihadistsーdespite media insistence that none of this traffic exists.</p> <p>It does. The secret American campaign has prevented land border infiltration attack on US soil, safeguarding an unknowing nationーso farーfrom Europe’s bloody ongoing experience. But this geographically sprawling effort is suffering from denialism and neglect at America’s peril…just as Europe was before its calamity. How much longer can these programs keep America safe without the public recognition that they exist and the needed care and attention that acknowledgment would bring? This book is much more than revelation and complaint; it provides solutions to better protect the homeland from this chronically misunderstood border threat.</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>An American Airlines transcontinental flight crashed into the Mississippi River near midnight on February 10, 1944. The cause of the crash has never been entirely explained.

The crash occurred some 18 miles from Memphis with the airliner plunging into a 22 foot channel. It proved very difficult for rescuers to retrieve the bodies. A combination of Red Cross, Coast Guard, Army and FBI personnel assisted in the effort.</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>In "Authors and Friends," Annie Fields offers an illuminating exploration of the literary friendships that shaped 19th-century American literature. Through a series of engaging biographical sketches and correspondences, Fields provides a rich tapestry of personal relationships, capturing the dynamics between notable authors such as Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry James, and Louisa May Alcott. Writing with a reflective yet intimate style, Fields not only delineates their creative visions but also unveils the emotional landscapes that influenced their works, underscoring the profound impact of camaraderie on literary innovation. Annie Fields, a notable literary figure herself and an accomplished author, was intimately connected with many of the writers she depicts. Her early experiences in the literary salon culture and her friendships with literary giants offer her a unique perspective into their lives and works. Fields' own literary background, coupled with her keen observation of social nuances, allows her to bridge the gap between personal anecdotes and broader cultural critiques, situating her subjects within the broader context of literary history. "Authors and Friends" is a compelling read for anyone interested in the interplay of social and literary spheres. Fields' insightful portrayals illuminate the human connections that underpin creativity, making this book a treasure for scholars, students, and literary enthusiasts alike.</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。

Worlds Enough The Invention of Realism in the Victorian Novel【電子書籍】[ Elaine Freedgood ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>A short, provocative book that challenges basic assumptions about Victorian fiction</strong></p> <p>Now praised for its realism and formal coherence, the Victorian novel was not always great, or even good, in the eyes of its critics. As Elaine Freedgood reveals in <em>Worlds Enough</em>, it was only in the late 1970s that literary critics constructed a prestigious version of British realism, erasing more than a century of controversy about the value of Victorian fiction.</p> <p>Examining criticism of Victorian novels since the 1850s, Freedgood demonstrates that while they were praised for their ability to bring certain social truths to fictional life, these novels were also criticized for their formal failures and compared unfavorably to their French and German counterparts. She analyzes the characteristics of realismーdenotation, omniscience, paratext, reference, and ontologyーand the politics inherent in them, arguing that if critics displaced the nineteenth-century realist novel as the standard by which others are judged, literary history might be richer. It would allow peripheral literatures and the neglected wisdom of their critics to come fully into view. She concludes by questioning the aesthetic racism built into prevailing ideas about the centrality of realism in the novel, and how those ideas have affected debates about world literature.</p> <p>By re-examining the critical reception of the Victorian novel, <em>Worlds Enough</em> suggests how we can rethink our practices and perceptions about books we think we know.</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。

Night of the Assassins The Untold Story of Hitler's Plot to Kill FDR, Churchill, and Stalin【電子書籍】[ Howard Blum ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>"A truly thrilling expose of the previously unknown Nazi assassination plot that could have changed history." ー Edward Jay Epstein, <em>New York Times b</em>estselling author of <em>The Assassination Chronicles</em></strong></p> <p><strong>The <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author returns with a tale as riveting and suspenseful as any thriller: the true story of the Nazi plot to kill the leaders of the United States, Great Britain, and the U.S.S.R. during World War II.</strong></p> <p>The mission: to kill the three most important and heavily guarded men in the world.<br /> The assassins: a specially trained team headed by the killer known as The Most Dangerous Man in Europe.<br /> The stakes: nothing less than the future of the Western world.</p> <p>The year is 1943 and the three Allied leadersーFranklin D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Joseph Stalinーare meeting for the first time at a top-secret conference in Tehran. But the Nazis have learned about the meeting and Hitler sees it as his last chance to turn the tide. Although the war is undoubtedly lost, the Germans believe that perhaps a new set of Allied leaders might be willing to make a more reasonable peace in its aftermath. And so a plan is devisedーcode name Operation Long Jumpーto assassinate FDR, Churchill, and Stalin.</p> <p>Immediately, a highly trained, hand-picked team of Nazi commandos is assembled, trained, armed with special weapons, and parachuted into Iran. They have six days to complete the daring assignment before the statesmen will return home. With no margin for error and little time to spare, Mike Reilly, the head of FDR’s Secret Service detailーa man from a Montana silver mining town who describes himself as “an Irish cop with more muscle than brains”ーmust overcome his suspicions and instincts to work with a Soviet agent from the NKVD (the precursor to the KGB) to save the three most powerful men in the world.</p> <p>Filled with eight pages of black-and-white photographs, <em>Night of the Assassins</em> is a suspenseful true-life tale about an impossible mission, a ticking clock, and one man who stepped up to the challenge and prevented a world catastrophe.</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。

Bombing Hitler's Hometown The Untold Story of the Last Mass Bomber Raid of World War II in Europe【電子書籍】[ Mike Croissant ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>**One of WWII’s final untold stories, this visceral account of the white-knuckled bombing mission American airmen carried out on Hitler’s hometown of Linz, Austria is now told for the first time through the eyes of the men on the airplanes as well as the innocent Austrians under the bombs.</p> <p>Fans of <em>Masters of the Air</em> and <em>Unbroken</em> will be riveted by this groundbreaking true story of the aerial bombing and its aftermath from retired CIA officer Mike Croissant.</p> <p>Foreword by Richard Overy, author of <em>The Bombers and the Bombed</em>**</p> <p>In April 1945, Linz was one of Nazi Germany’s most vital assets. It was a crucial transportation hub and communications center, with railyards brimming with war materiel destined for the front lines. Linz was also the town Hitler claimed as home and had long intended to remake as the cultural capital of Europe, filling its planned <em>Fuehrermuseum</em> with world-famous art stolen from his conquered territories.</p> <p>Inevitably, Linz was also one of the most heavily defended targets remaining in Europe. The airmen of the Fifteenth Air Force were a mix of seasoned veterans and newcomers. As their mission was unveiled in the predawn hours of April 25th, audible groans and muffled expletives passed many lips. The reality of that mission would prove more brutal than any imagined.</p> <p>In the unheated, unpressurized B?24 Liberator and B?17 Flying Fortress heavy bombers, young men battled elements as dangerous as anything the Germans could throw at them. When batteries of German anti?aircraft guns opened fire, the men flew into a man?made hell of exploding shrapnel. Aircraft and men fell from the sky as Austrian civilians on the ground also struggled to survive beneath the bombs during the deadly climax of Hitler’s war.</p> <p>Drawing on interviews with dozens of America’s last surviving World War II veterans, as well as previously unpublished sources, Mike Croissant compellingly relates one of the war’s last truly untold storiesーa gripping chronicle of warfare, the death of Nazi Germany, and the beginning of the Cold War. It is also a timeless tale of courage and terror, loss and redemption, humanity and savagery.</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>Bringing together key researchers in disciplines ranging from visualization and image processing to applications in structural mechanics, fluid dynamics, elastography, and numerical mathematics, the workshop that generated this edited volume was the third in the successful Dagstuhl series. Its aim, reflected in the quality and relevance of the papers presented, was to foster collaboration and fresh lines of inquiry in the analysis and visualization of tensor fields, which offer a concise model for numerous physical phenomena. Despite their utility, there remains a dearth of methods for studying all but the simplest ones, a shortage the workshops aim to address.</p> <p>Documenting the latest progress and open research questions in tensor field analysis, the chapters reflect the excitement and inspiration generated by this latest Dagstuhl workshop, held in July 2009. The topics they address range from applications of the analysis of tensor fields to purer research into their mathematical and analytical properties. They show how cooperation and the sharing of ideas and data between those engaged in pure and applied research can open new vistas in the study of tensor fields.</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。

Passchendaele The Untold Story; Third Edition【電子書籍】[ Robin Prior ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<div>No conflict of the Great War excites stronger emotions than the war in Flanders in the autumn of 1917, and no name better encapsulates the horror and apparent futility of the Western Front than Passchendaele. By its end there had been 275,000 Allied and 200,000 German casualties. Yet the territorial gains made by the Allies in four desperate months were won back by Germany in only three days the following March. The devastation at Passchendaele, the authors argue, was neither inevitable nor inescapable; perhaps it was not necessary at all. Using a substantial archive of official and private records, much of which has never been previously consulted, Trevor Wilson and Robin Prior provide the fullest account of the campaign ever published.<BR><br> The book examines the political dimension at a level which has hitherto been absent from accounts of "Third Ypres." It establishes what did occur, the options for alternative action, and the fundamental responsibility for the carnage. Prior and Wilson consider the shifting ambitions and stratagems of the high command, examine the logistics of war, and assess what the available manpower, weaponry, technology, and intelligence could realistically have hoped to achieve. And, most powerfully of all, they explore the experience of the soldiers in the lightーwhether they knew it or notーof what would never be accomplished.</div>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 Worlds of Junipero Serra Historical Contexts and Cultural Representations【電子書籍】
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>As one of America’s most important missionaries, Jun?pero Serra is widely recognized as the founding father of California’s missions. It was for that work that he was canonized in 2015 by Pope Francis. Less well known, however, is the degree to which Jun?pero Serra embodied the social, religious and artistic currents that shaped Spain and Mexico across the 18th century. Further, Serra’s reception in American culture in the 19th and 20th centuries has often been obscured by the controversies surrounding his treatment of California’s Indians. This volume situates Serra in the larger Spanish and Mexican contexts within which he lived, learned, and came of age. Offering a rare glimpse into Serra’s life, these essays capture the full complexity of cultural trends and developments that paved the way for this powerful missionary to become not only California’s most polarizing historical figure but also North America’s first Spanish colonial saint.</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。

Taiwan's Social Movements under Ma Ying-jeou From the Wild Strawberries to the Sunflowers【電子書籍】
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In the spring of 2014, the Sunflower Movement’s three-week occupation of the Legislative Yuan brought Taiwan back to international media attention. It was the culmination of a series of social movements that had been growing in strength since 2008 and have become even more salient since the spring of 2014. Social movements in Taiwan have emerged as a powerful new actor that needs to be understood alongside those players that have dominated the literature such as political parties, local factions, Taishang, China and the United States.</p> <p>This book offers readers an introduction to the development of these social movements in Taiwan by examining a number of important movement case studies that focus on the post 2008 period. The return of the Kuomintang (KMT) to power radically changed the political environment for Taiwan’s civil society and so the book considers how social activists responded to this new political opportunity structure. The case chapters are based on extensive fieldwork and are written by authors from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds and methodological approaches; in some cases authors combine being both academics and activists themselves. Together, the chapters focus on a number of core issues, providing the book with four key aims. Firstly, it investigates the roots of the movements and considers how to best explain their emergence. Secondly, it examines the development trajectories of these movements. Thirdly, it looks at the best way to explain their impact and development patterns, and finally it assesses their overall impact, questioning whether they can be regarded as successes or failures.</p> <p>Covering a unique range of social movement cases, the book will be of interest to students and researchers interested in Taiwanese society and politics, as well as social movements and civil society.</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。

Exocet Falklands The Untold Story of Special Forces Operations【電子書籍】[ Ewen Southby-Tailyour ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>"A fascinating account of three SAS missions to counter the Exocet missile . . . from ill-thought out ideas to near suicidal one-way trips onto enemy soil."ー <em>Soldier Magazine</em></strong></p> <p>This is a revelatory account of three un-tabulated special forces operations, PLUM DUFF, MIKADO and KETTLEDRUM, that were tasked to destroy Argentina's Exocet missiles during the 1982 Falkland's campaign.</p> <p>Interviews with the SAS officer commanding Operation PLUM DUFF, members of the reconnaissance patrol for Operation MIKADO, plus the navigator of the helicopter that flew eight troopers into Tierra del Fuego, has allowed the author to describe the tortuous events that led, instead, to a significant survival story.</p> <p>The RAF pilots ordered to conduct an "assault-landing" of two Hercules onto Rio Grande air base during Operation MIKADO have spoken of the extraordinary procedures they developed: so have the commander of the SBS and the captain of the British submarine involved in Operation KETTLEDRUM.</p> <p>The Super ?tendard pilots who sank HMS <em>Sheffield</em> and MV <em>Atlantic Conveyor</em> and then "attacked" HMS <em>Invincible</em>, plus a key member of the Argentine special forces and the brigadier defending Rio Grande, add credence, depth and gravitas to the saga: as does an equally revealing interview with the SIS (MI6) officer who led the world-wide search for Exocets on the black market. Disturbing over-confidence by commanders at home was finely counter-balanced by stirring accounts of inspiring physical and moral courage across the South Atlantic.</p> <p><em>Exocet Falklands</em> is a ground-breaking work of investigative military history from which many salutary lessons can be learned.</p> <p>"Between politics, diplomacy and barbouzeries, this well-documented work will lead you in the arcane of what should have changed the course of this war."ーAir Fan</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。

Reynolds Unraveling the Dark Threads of a Small Town: A Southern Gothic Tale of Mystery and Redemption【電子書籍】[ Randall Davies ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In 'Reynolds', Randall Davies masterfully navigates the intricate tapestry of human emotions and societal constructs through the lens of a young man'??s tumultuous journey of self-discovery. Set against a richly woven backdrop that blends the historical with the contemporary, the narrative employs a lyrical prose style that is both evocative and immersive. Davies deftly juxtaposes the struggles of the protagonist with broader themes of identity, inheritance, and the relentless quest for belonging, thereby situating the novel within the tradition of coming-of-age literature while infusing it with a distinctive modern sensibility. Randall Davies is known for his keen insights into the human condition, drawing from his diverse experiences as an educator and cultural commentator. Having spent years exploring the intersections of art and personal narrative, Davies came to write 'Reynolds' as a reflection of his own encounters with the complexities of identity and heritage. His previous works, which often grapple with similar themes, serve as a testament to his commitment to exploring the nuances of the human experience. Highly recommended for readers seeking a thoughtful exploration of personal and collective identity, 'Reynolds' offers both literary beauty and deep philosophical inquiry. Whether you are an aficionado of contemporary fiction or someone new to such explorations, this novel promises to resonate profoundly, encouraging reflection long after the final page is turned.</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。

Atomic Days The Untold Story of the Most Toxic Place in America【電子書籍】[ Joshua Frank ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>Once home to the United States's largest plutonium production site, the Hanford Nuclear Reservation in Washington state is laced with 56 million gallons of radioactive waste. The threat of an explosive accident at Hanford is all too realーan event that could be more catastrophic than Chernobyl.</strong><br /> The EPA designated Hanford the most toxic place in America; it is also the most expensive environmental clean-up job the world has ever seen, with a $677 billion price tag that keeps growing. Huge underground tanks, well past their life expectancy and full of boiling radioactive gunk, are leaking, infecting groundwater supplies and threatening the Columbia River.<br /> Whistleblowers, worried that the worst is ahead, are now speaking out, begging to be heard and hoping their pleas help bring attention to the dire situation at Hanford. Aside from a few feisty community groups and handful of Indigenous activists, there is very little public scrutiny of the clean-up process, which is managed by the Department of Energy and carried out by contractors with shoddy track records, like Bechtel. In the context of renewed support for atomic power as a means of combating climate change, <em>Atomic Days</em> provides a much-needed refutation of the myths of nuclear technologyーfrom weapons to electricityーand shines a spotlight on the ravages of Hanford and its threat to communities, workers and the global environment.</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。
