Winner of the 2013 Choice Award for Outstanding Academic Title
Battleground Africa traces the Congo Crisis from post-World War II decolonization efforts through Mobutu's second coup in 1965 from a radically new vantage point. Drawing on recently opened archives in Russia and the United States, and to a lesser extent Germany and Belgium, Lisa Namikas addresses the crisis from the perspectives of the two superpowers and explains with superb clarity the complex web of allies, clients, and neutral states influencing U.S.-Soviet competition.
Unlike any other work, Battleground Africa looks at events leading up to independence, then considers the assassination of Patrice Lumumba, the series of U.N.-supported constitutional negotiations, and the crises of 1964 and 1965. Finding that the U.S. and the USSR each wanted to avoid a major confrontation, but also misunderstood its opponent's goals and wanted to avoid looking weak or losing its political standing in Africa, Namikas argues that a series of exaggerations and misjudgements helped to militarize the crisis, and ultimately, helped militarize the Cold War on the continent.
If the United States couldn't catch up to the Soviets in space, how could it compete with them on Earth? That was the question facing John F. Kennedy at the height of the Cold War--a moment when the Soviet Union built the wall in Berlin, tested nuclear bombs more destructive than any in history, and beat the US to every major milestone in space. The race to the heavens seemed a race for survival--and America was losing.
When John Glenn blasted into orbit on February 20, 1962, his mission was greater than circling Earth; it was to calm the fears of the free world and renew America's sense of self-belief. Mercury Rising re-creates the sense of tension to a flight that riveted the world. Drawing on new sources, interviews, and Glenn's personal notes, Mercury Rising shows how the astronaut's heroics lifted the nation's hopes in what Kennedy called the "hour of maximum danger."

Описание:
Veterans and first responders know the impacts of their service, especially if they have experienced crisis and trauma. It is an inevitable reality for anyone who comes into harm's way. In these pressing times, God is calling on men and women who have served at an extraordinary high rate to be ambassadors of Christ to minister to others who are suffering. Most possess the service experience and the heart to serve but struggle with exactly what God wants them to do. They pray and are eagerly searching for answers. Some end up leading small church groups and Bible studies but soon realize so much more needs to be done. Chances are, God is looking for you to be part of the solution.
To minister effectively to our nation's heroes, you must embark on a special mission. You will need to conduct the critical analysis of your journey and why you had to weather storms. This process includes learning about the H3 cycle, the types of wounds, the complexities of trauma, and what it is like to slip into isolation and darkness. This quest will help you identify your God-given purpose and shape a strategic plan to execute God's will. But to do that, you will need to take a deeper look within.
Spiritual Battleground is designed to help you understand who you are within your body, soul, and spirit. Although, veterans may have won the battles of their deployments, they are facing another war in its aftermath. Cops may be able to fight crime on the streets and contend with social issues, but they grapple with internal struggles. It is time to dissect the soul to understand the spiritual warfare of the timeless battle between good and evil. Understanding which force is dominating will make you combat effective in your God-given purpose.

Описание: Is it true that we can pick our battles in life, or do our battles pick us? What if, from the beginning, defects in your DNA dictate what battles you will be fighting for the rest of your life? This young nurse communicates her story with a raw, human aspect that illuminates the battle of chronic disease. Complete with descriptions of the wars within her faith and the fervent struggle to find meaning in difficulty, she paints a telling picture of the search for freedom. As her psyche travels down the war path throughout her story, she sees similarities in the patients she cares for, relating to them in a way she never thought possible. The stark contrast between learned medical knowledge and her patient experience makes this book a window into the world of those with chronic illness. Not to be set aside lightly, her story of finally finding victory is one for the books.
