Woodrow Wilson

Josephus Daniels

Woodrow Wilson: Speeches, Inaugural Addresses, State of the Union Addresses, Executive Decisions & Messages to Congress

In 2021, Anthony Seldon, inspired by a fallen First World War soldier who dreamed of a "Via Sacra" to commemorate the war dead and stand as a symbol of the triumph of peace, set out on a 600-mile walk tracing the historic route of the Western Front. He later recounted that journey in the widely acclaimed The Path of Peace.But lasting peace was not to be. Just two decades after the First World War, Europe descended into an even more devastating conflict.In The Path of Light, Seldon embarks on a new 800-mile journey, beginning once again at Kilometre Zero and ending at Auschwitz. Along the way, he uncovers the stories of women and men who courageously protected the vulnerable and stood up to evil in the face of unimaginable brutality during the Second World War.As he reflects on these "figures of light" and the inspiring stories he encounters in the towns and villages along his route, a pattern begins to emerge--one that offers lessons for building a more peaceful and compassionate world.Their example feels more relevant than ever, as the ominous and growing drumbeat of global belligerence forms the backdrop to Seldon's journey between 2023 and 2025. The Path of Light is both a remarkable travel narrative and a powerful meditation on courage, humanity, and hope in troubled times.

Walking to Auschwitz

The Path of Light

A wild scavenger hunt spanning continents and centuries
Lisbon, 1954. In the Military History Archives, a mysterious figure steals the Final Will and Testament of Garoto&nbsp;Bárbaro de Castro-a list of thirteen bequests, and a record of Garoto's remarkable life story. It is also a window onto the many other lives connected to his, including that of the archival thief: his descendent, Nuno Bárbaro de Castro.
After stealing Garoto's Final Will and Testament, Nuno Bárbaro de Castro-artifact hunter, grave robber, fake veterinarian, and agent of Angolan Independence-sets off to hunt the listed artifacts, while also collecting the distant relatives of those mentioned in the Will, even when they don't want to be collected...
A rowdy, darkly funny, centuries-spanning revenge drama, The Wreckers moves between Portugal, Angola, Cuba, and Louisiana's 'Angola' prison to examine the scars of the transatlantic slave trade, and the consequences of prolonged civil war.

The Wreckers

There is a specific energy to it. Cafes and shops close their shutters. Darkness descends. 'The air begins to tingle', wrote John Dos Passos of twenties New York. 'It's tonight if you drink enough, talk enough, walk far enough, that the train of magical events will begin.'Barely four centuries ago, music, fashion, sex, architecture, art and booze first fused to create what we now call nightlife. It happened, strangely enough, in 17th-century Japan, in a remote marshland outside the shogun's capital. This den of hedonism and iniquity became a breeding ground for new ideas - and while the venues have changed, nightlife has been at the frontier of cultural innovation ever since. Up All Night is the story of the good times and the great ones. Who invented jazz? What did 18th century Londoners do for entertainment? Why was Detroit the birthplace of techno? Who built Las Vegas? And what, in our increasingly online lives, are we missing when we pass up the chance of a big night out? Join party historian Imogen Willetts for a guided tour of history's wildest nights out - piecing together tantalising ephemera and foggy reminiscences from shogunate Japan to noughties Hollywood, and every iconic scene in between. 'Spills over with colourful anecdotes . . . Reading Up All Night makes you want to put it down - if only to step out into the seductive, thrilling night' DAILY TELEGRAPH'A sparkling cultural history . . . Its procession of nocturnal scenes is immersive, intoxicating and full of surprises' MIKE JAY, author of PSYCHONAUTS'A jaunty, jam-packed history of big nights out that revels in spectacle and theatricality' EMMA WARREN, author of DANCE YOUR WAY HOME

Pulitzer Prize–winning former Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson tells our nation’s torturous racial history through his own family’s story, starting with his great-grandfather’s freedom from slavery and threading his way to his own narrative and reaching today’s Black Lives Matter movement, asking whether this time will be different. On March 27, 1829, a wealthy white planter and entrepreneur named Richard Fordham purchased four enslaved African Americans from a woman named Isabella Perman. One of them was journalist Eugene Robinson’s great-great-grandfather, a boy called Harry. Starting from this transaction, which took place in Charleston, South Carolina, Freedom Lost, Freedom Won brings to life two hundred years of our nation’s history through the eyes of the remarkable family that Harry founded. Assigned a formal name—Henry Fordham—and put to work as a blacksmith, he achieved his own freedom a decade before the Civil War. He was there when victorious Union troops marched into Charleston in 1865, ending slavery and guaranteeing liberty for Black people—only on paper, though, and only for a time. Robinson traces the arc of his familial lineage through the repeated cycles in which African Americans have fought their way upward toward freedom and opportunity, been forced back down again, and renewed their determined climb. From his great-great-grandfather’s achievement in becoming a “free person of color” before emancipation to his great-grandfather’s Reconstruction-era success, from his father’s odyssey of the Great Migration to his own coming-of-age during the civil rights movement, Robinson delves into a rich archive of Black narratives, arguing that we still have a long way to go before it is possible to speak of a “post-racial America.” Setting his extensive research within the larger historical context, Robinson provides both an indictment of structural racism and an illustration of how it has been fought and, at times, courageously overcome. Freedom Lost, Freedom Won tells our country’s tortuous racial history through Robinson’s family’s story of struggle and survival, pushing us to consider how far the nation has come—willingly or not—and how far it still has to go.

America's Founding Myths...And What REALLY Happened

This book re-examines the origins and development of the laws of war and human rights law and exposes an overlooked provision of the European Convention on Human Rights which permits the use of lethal force where absolutely necessary to quell an insurrection. When civilian casualties occur in internal armed conflicts, questions are asked about how civilians can be better protected against the use of force by armed insurgents and state security forces. The laws of war include protection against the targeting of civilians but permit the use of force based on 'military necessity' and allow 'proportionate' civilian casualties. Where those laws do not apply, the use of force is generally seen as being limited to self-defence. This creates paradigms of armed conflict and law-enforcement with very different rules. The paradigms are then treated by governments and other actors as being separate and divided by a threshold of violence, when, in practice, they overlap, both in the conduct of military operations and, this book argues, as a matter of law. Revisiting the law provides the opportunity to reassess the benefits and risks of the existing paradigms and consider how applying the provision permitting the use of lethal force in quelling an insurrection would affect them. The book concludes that it offers a middle way based on the existing law, but it requires wider recognition and development in order to achieve a more appropriate balance between human rights and collective security.

This book challenges traditional legal approaches to military operations in internal armed conflicts based on the laws of war.

The House of Falconer - Der Glanz des Glücks

Istanbul's population greatly suffered during WWI. Sanitary problems, pauperization, mortality rise deteriorated everyday life. The flows of refugees and military mobilization were major issues. Paradoxically, its Greek orthodox community increased in 1914-1918. After the Mudros Armistice (October 1918), it could hope for the Ottoman Empire's dismemberment and the return of Constantinople to the Greek fold. The events that followed and led to the birth of the Republic of Turkey would put an end to their expectations. The deterioration of everyday material life, the loyalty of Istanbul Greeks to the Ottoman State in wartime, ordinary people's position towards Hellenic irredentism are the main themes explored through the archives of Greek Orthodox parishes of the city and those of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople.
