Описание: A collection of histories and first hand narratives There are few more famous or evocative characters in the history of the American south-west frontier period than the Comanche war chief, Quanah Parker. Every student of the period knows that Quanah was the son of an abducted American pioneer girl, Cynthia Parker. This book collects into a single, good value, Leonaur edition six contemporary perspectives on the events that led to the birth and life of Quanah Parker, each of which is too short to be individually published today. Included are two histories as well as personal accounts by James Parker, Rachel Plummer, Cynthia Parker and Robert Carter. The text covers the period from the raid on Fort Parker which brought about the abduction of the nine-year-old, Cynthia Parker to when the adult Quanah was at the zenith of his power and at war with U. S. Army. These accounts, available together for the first time, are primary source material and are thus essential reading for any serious or casual student interested in the subject. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.
Описание: Presented through the soldiers` letters, diaries, service records and pension records, this book is a vision of the Virginia summer heat, days of marching with very little rest, food or water, and the fear and exhilaration of combat. Also included are the stories of 28 men that were wounded or killed and the effect on their families.
Описание: With extensive research, including summaries of White House meetings and conversations that followed the capture, The Capture of the USS Pueblo reviews the flawed leadership decisions and national events that led to the capture of the spy ship in 1968 in international waters off North Korea.
Описание: Forced to contend with unprecedented levels of psychological trauma during World War II, the United States military began sponsoring a series of nontheatrical films designed to educate and even rehabilitate soldiers and civilians alike. Traumatic Imprints traces the development of psychiatric and psychotherapeutic approaches to wartime trauma in the United States military, along with their links to formal and narrative developments in military and civilian filmmaking. Offering close readings of a series of films alongside analysis of period scholarship in psychiatry, and bolstered by research in trauma theory and documentary studies, Noah Tsika argues that trauma was foundational in postwar American culture. Examining wartime and postwar debates about the use of cinema as a vehicle for studying, publicizing, and even what has been termed "working through" war trauma, this book is an original contribution to scholarship on the military-industrial complex.

Описание:
The Mutiny of 1857 left a deep mark on Indian society and on the nature of British rule. Thomas Metcalf analyzes the influence of the Mutiny on many facets of Indian life and relations with Great Britain, examining social reform, education, land settlement policy, the position of the tenant and the moneylender, relations with the Indian states, the structure of the government, and the growth of racial sentiment. The author also makes an attempt to place the India of the 1860's in the broader context of Victorian liberalism. The view emerges that the relations between the British and the Indian people were decisively altered by the Mutiny. In fact the decade following the upheaval was possibly the last great creative period of British rule, and one in which the nature of many of the institutions that lasted to independence were shaped.

Описание: The first sustained study of the relationship between Anglo-American postmodernist fictionand the Second World War, Crosthwaite demonstrates that postmodernism has not abandoned history but has rather reformulated it in terms of trauma that is traceable, time and again, to the catastrophes of the 1940s."

Описание:
In its totality, the “Long Second World War”—extending from the beginning of the Spanish Civil War to the end of hostilities in 1945—has exerted enormous influence over European culture. Bringing together leading historians, sociologists, and literary and film scholars, this broadly interdisciplinary volume investigates Europeans’ individual and collective memories and the ways in which they have shaped the continent’s cultural heritage. Focusing on the major combatant nations—Spain, Britain, France, Italy, Germany, Poland, and Russia—it offers thoroughly contextualized explorations of novels, memoirs, films, and a host of other cultural forms to illuminate European public memory.

Описание: A special two volume set on the Russian Navy at war in the early 20th century Vladimir Semenoff's account of the famous naval Battle of Tsushima is a well known and highly regarded book by an author who experienced the conflict at first hand. Although it has been published separately, Semenoff's account of the battle is just one segment of a far broader narrative-the parts of which were published out of chronological sequence as books and sections of books. The author indicates in his other writings on the Russo-Japanese war at sea where the text on the Battle of Tsushima should appear in the whole. This confused publishing history has made understanding the complete narrative difficult for modern readers. Leonaur's editors have, for the first time, ordered Semenoff's text chronologically, as a continuous narrative, in two volumes. Volume one deals with Port Arthur, the Battles of the Yellow Sea and in the Sea of Japan; volume two includes the Battle of Tsushima and events after that famous encounter. This essential account of the war at sea, from the Russian perspective, during the Russo-Japanese War is without equal and is highly recommended. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.
