Описание:
From Vacillation to Resolve tells the little-known story of the French Communist Party's role in the Resistance movement against the Nazis during World War II. Author Julian McPhillips Jr. researched this story and published it as his senior thesis at Princeton University in 1968. It is being published in book form for the first time on the fiftieth anniversary of his graduation.
McPhillips divides the behavior of the French Communist resisters into three stages: The first brief phase in the late summer of 1939 was an anti-fascist reflex which was repressed in the early occupation.
During the second stage, from October 1939 to mid-1941, the party's members fought vigorously against the French war governments of Daladier and Reynaud. Following the fall of France, under the Russo-German Pact, French Communists achieved a brief "semi-legality" in the period leading up to the German attack on Russia. Even in this period, however, some French Communists left the party to resist the Germans on their own initiative.
The final stage was from June 22, 1941, to the liberation of France in August 1944. The French Communists were united in their resolve and effected sabotage, distributed clandestine media materials, and fought bravely in organized guerrilla (maquis) actions. Despite playing key roles in the fighting, however, the Communists jockeyed with the Gaullists not only on Resistance tactics but also on post-war plans.
Overall, following the German attack against the USSR, the war for French Communists changed from an imperialistic conflict to the defense of liberty.

Описание:
Jonathan Sturges: Merchant of Old New York is a fascinating story of a pioneering American merchant, art patron, banker, railroad entrepreneur, philanthropist and civic activist, who took part in many of the transformational political and business events of the mid-nineteenth century.
Striking out from his home in Fairfield, Connecticut, in 1822, Sturges obtained a clerk position in a merchant firm in New York City and rose to become the lead partner of the largest coffee and tea trading house in New York. For five decades he rode the American wave of growth and ingenuity from the opening of the Erie Canal, through the Civil War, to the dawning of the Gilded Age--when robber barons such as his son-in-law, J.P. Morgan, were taking main stage. His intimate circle of friends and associates were a who's who of national politicians, generals, business and the arts. This meticulously researched book is a quintessential American success story. Open the book and you'll open the door into the extraordinary life and times of Jonathan Sturges.
