McKelvey Cleaver Thomas: Bloody Skies

Bloody Skies

Fifteenth Fighter Command Against all Odds

Fleet

An authoritative, illustrated analysis of the official French Navy in World War II, under the command of the Third Republic and of Vichy.

The Marine Nationale in World War II

French Navy 1939–42

The Achilles Trap masterfully untangles the people, ploys of power and geopolitics that led to America's disastrous war with Iraq and, for the first time, details America's fundamental miscalculations during its ruinous, decades-long relationship with Saddam Hussein. Beginning with Saddam's rise to power in 1979 and the birth of Iraq's secret nuclear weapons programme, Steve Coll traces Saddam's motives through understanding his inner circle. He brings to life the diplomats, scientists, family members and generals who had no choice but to defer to their leader - a leader directly responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, as well as the torture or imprisonment of many more. This was a man whose reasoning was impossible to reduce to a simple explanation, and the CIA and successive presidential administrations failed to grasp critical nuances in his paranoia, resentments and inconsistencies - even when the stakes were incredibly high. Using unpublished and underreported sources, interviews with surviving participants, and Saddam's own transcripts and audio files, The Achilles Trap is a remarkable picture of a dictator who was convinced the world was out to get him and acted accordingly. A work of great historical significance, it is the definitive account of how corruptions of power, lies of diplomacy and vanity - on both sides - led to avoidable errors of statecraft: ones that would enact immeasurable human suffering and forever change our political landscape.

Saddam Hussein, the United States and the Middle East, 1979-2003

The Achilles Trap

US Foreign Policy and Conflict in the Islamic World

The United States and Turkey were extraordinarily close allies during most of the Cold War with Turkey being central to U.S. strategy in the Middle East. In the aftermath, the United States and Turkey faced a range of new challenges to their relationship which nonetheless remained strong until the 2003 Iraq War. The U.S.-led invasion of Iraq and the overthrow of Saddam Hussein revealed divergences in the interests of the two allies and led to tensions not seen since the 1974 Turkish invasion of Cyprus. Lansford and Pauly seek to identify the main convergences and divergences of U.S. and Turkish interests and analyzes the trends in relations between the two states. They provide a thorough examination of national interests and how those interests define foreign and security policy for the two states. The examination of interests provides deep insight into the U.S.-Turkish relationship. The book explores U.S. support or opposition to Turkish actions toward Greece, Cyprus and the Kurds within the broader context of the machinations of U.S. foreign policy toward the Middle East, including support for Israel and efforts to contain first Iran and then Iraq.

Anthem Studies in Gothic Literature

Nuclear Gothic investigates the previously unexplored congruities that lie between gothic forms and modes and nuclear cultures and techno-sciences; it aims to read Western nuclear fictions in relation to their Japanese counterparts and through a cohesive critical framework that examines atomic processes, nuclear fictions and specific historical and cultural moments.

Ein gewaltsamer Casino-Überfall ruft ein Großaufgebot des FBI auf den Plan, aber Jim Chee sieht eine gefährliche Schwachstelle in deren Ermittlungen. Während er beginnt, mit seinem ehemaligen Vorgesetzten Leaphorn selbst zu ermitteln, setzt die Flucht der Täter in das Labyrinth der Canyons eine beispiellose Fahndungsaktion in Gang.

Samstagnacht im Ute-Reservat: Drei maskierte Männer überfallen ein Spielkasino, töten einen Wachmann, verletzen einen weiteren schwer und entkommen mit reicher Beute. Das FBI vermutet die Banditen im zerklüfteten Labyrinth der Canyons an der Grenze von Utah und Arizona und startet eine beispiellose Großfahndung.Bei Jim Chee und seinem ehemaligen Vorgesetzten Joe Leaphorn weckt der Fall düstere Erinnerungen an die gescheiterte Großfahndung nach einer Gangsterbande im Vorjahr, bei der ein Navajo-Cop sein Leben ließ. Und tatsächlich: Leaphorn und Chees Ermittlungen führen noch weiter zurück in die Vergangenheit. Vor fast hundert Jahren soll in der Gegend ein Bandit sein Unwesen getrieben haben&nbsp;– ein Hexer, der nachts aus den Canyons schlich, um zu töten&nbsp;…

Jagd ohne Beute

The Lamar Series in Western History

How a generation of pioneers and their historians knowingly hid the violent history of Indigenous dispossession in the Pacific Northwest &nbsp; The small, mostly forgotten wars of the 1850s in the American Pacific Northwest were part of a broader genocidal war—the War on Illahee—to seize Native land for Euro-Americans. Illahee (a term for “homeland” in Chinook) was turned into the states of Oregon and Washington through the violence of invading soldiers, settlers, and serial killers. Clashes over the brutality of invasion—should it be celebrated, isolated, or erased?—left behind accidental archives of atrocity, as history writers disagreed over which stories they should tell and which stories they could sell. By the 1920s, the War on Illahee had been disappeared. &nbsp; Drawing on records from the perpetrators themselves, the papers of historians, and previously suppressed evidence from Indigenous survivors, Marc James Carpenter has written both a new history of pioneer atrocities within and beyond the wars on Native people in the American Pacific Northwest, and a new history of how these wars were remembered, commemorated, and forgotten. The overlapping distortions have embedded inaccuracies in our histories and textbooks all the way to the present. Beyond reshaping the history of the Pacific Northwest, this searing book opens broader conversations about settler colonialism, historical memory, problematic monuments, and the historical profession.

Genocide, Complicity, and Cover-Ups in the Pioneer Northwest

The War on Illahee

Ein Toter im Auto liefert neue Erkenntnisse zu einem alten Fall, der Leaphorn noch immer beschäftigt: Ein Betrug um die legendäre Golden Calf Mine endete mit einem Mord, und ein klagender Wind soll die Schreie einer Frau durch die Luft getragen haben. Sergeant Chee unterstützt seine Kollegin bei den Ermittlungen, doch Leaphorn zieht eigene Schlüsse.

In einem ausgetrockneten Flussbett im Navajo-Reservat steht ein Pick-up, darin ein Toter, die tödliche Kugel noch im Rücken. Kein Verdächtiger, kein Tatmotiv, und Sergeant Jim Chee gerät unter Druck, weil seine Assistentin unzureichend Spuren gesichert hat.Doch Karten im Wagen und bestimmte Pflanzensamen an den Socken des Toten deuten darauf hin, dass der Tote womöglich auf der Suche nach der legendären Golden-Calf-Mine war – ein Ort, der bisher mehr Unheil als Reichtum schuf und Joe Leaphorn an ein altes Verbrechen erinnert: Vor fünf Jahren wurde ein Goldsucher ermordet, und die Ehefrau des Täters verschwand spurlos. Erzählt man sich nicht noch heute, wie der Wind in der Mordnacht Klageschreie davontrug?

Each year nearly 2.5 million elementary school children are failed. However, the research during the past 30 years fails to demonstrate the effectiveness of early grade retention as an academic intervention.
