Jacques R Pauwels Myths Of Modern History: From The French Revolution To The 20th Century World Wars And The Cold War - New Perspectives On Key Events
Lafeltrinelli.it
Brand: Jacques R Pauwels
EAN:
9781459416932Categoria: Libri e riviste
At a time when it’s all too easy to see history in black-and-white terms, historian Jacques R. Pauwels urges readers to let go of conventional history textbooks and re-examine historical events outside the bounds of conventional ideologies and agendas.\nPauwels uses twelve key events, from the French Revolution onwards, to debunk well-known accepted historical narratives in the western canon. He challenges readers to rethink their views by compiling the recent work of specialized scholars whose research demonstrates that the facts contradict the myths that have been offered to explain these events.\nBeginning with a reconsideration of the impacts of the French Revolution, Pauwels finishes by dismantling the American narrative surrounding the use of nuclear weapons in the Second World War and the real rationale for the Cold War and the U.S.’s postwar global democracy project.

Erik R. Scott Defectors: How The Illicit Flight Of Soviet Citizens Built The Borders Of The Cold War World
Lafeltrinelli.it
Brand: Erik R. Scott
EAN:
9780197546871Categoria: Libri e riviste
A broad-ranging history of defectors from the Communist world to the West and how their Cold War treatment shaped present-day restrictions on cross-border movement.\n\nDefectors fleeing the Soviet Union seized the world's attention during the Cold War. Their stories were given sensational news coverage and dramatized in spy novels and films. Upon reaching the West, they were entitled to special benefits, including financial assistance and permanent residency. In contrast to other migrants, defectors were pursued by the states they left even as they were eagerly sought by the United States and its allies. Taking part in a risky game that played out across the globe, defectors sought to transcend the limitations of the Cold War world.\n\nDefectors follows their treacherous journeys and looks at how their unauthorized flight via land, sea, and air gave shape to a globalized world. It charts a global struggle over defectors that unfolded among rival intelligence agencies operating in the shadows of an occupied Europe, in the forbidden border zones of the USSR, in the disputed straits of the South China Sea, on a hijacked plane 10,000 feet in the air, and around the walls of Soviet embassies. What it reveals is a Cold War world whose borders were far less stable than the notion of an \"Iron Curtain\" suggests. Surprisingly, the competition for defectors paved the way for collusion between the superpowers, who found common cause in regulating the spaces through which defectors moved. Disputes over defectors mapped out the contours of modern state sovereignty, and defection's ideological framework hardened borders by reinforcing the view that asylum should only be granted to migrants with clear political claims. \n\nAlthough defection all but disappeared after the Cold War, this innovative work shows how it shaped the governance of global borders and helped forge an international refugee system whose legacy and limitations remain with us to this day.

In his grey suit and tie, he looked like any other Soviet citizen. The bag alone was mildly conspicuous, printed with the red logo of Safeway, the British supermarket.\r\n\r\nThe man was a spy. A senior KGB officer, for more than a decade he had supplied his British spymasters with a stream of priceless secrets from deep within the Soviet intelligence machine. No spy had done more to damage the KGB. The Safeway bag was a signal: to activate his escape plan to be smuggled out of Soviet Russia. So began one of the boldest and most extraordinary episodes in the history of spying.

Roger R. Reese Red Commanders: A Social History Of The Soviet Army Officer Corps, 1918-1991
Lafeltrinelli.it
Brand: Roger R. Reese
EAN:
9780700613977Categoria: Libri e riviste
One of the largest and most feared military forces in the world, the Red Army was a key player in advancing the cause of Soviet socialism. Rising out of revolutionary-era citizen militias, it aspired to the greatness needed to confront its Cold War adversaries but was woefully unprepared to change with the times. In this first comprehensive study of the Soviet officer corps, Roger Reese traces the history of the Red Army from Civil War triumph through near-decimation in World War II and demoralizing quagmire in Afghanistan to the close scrutiny it came under during Gorbachev's reform era. Reese takes readers inside the Red Army to reconstruct the social and institutional dynamics that shaped its leadership and effectiveness over seventy-three years. He depicts the lives of these officers by revealing their class origins, life experiences, party loyalty, and attitudes toward professionalism. He tells how these men were shaped by Russian culture and Soviet politics - and how the Communist Party dominated every aspect of their careers but never allowed them the autonomy they needed to cultivate a high level of military effectiveness. Despite its struggle to develop and maintain professionalism, the officer corps was often hampered by factors inextricably intertwined with the Soviet state: Marxist theory, revolutionary ideology, friction between party and non-party members, and the influence of the army's political administration organs. Reese shows that by rejecting the Western bourgeois model of military professionalism the state greatly limited its officer corps' ability to develop a more effective military. While a sense of group identity emerged among officers after World War II, it quickly lost relevance in the face of postwar challenges, especially the war in Afghanistan, which underscored fatal flaws in command leadership. \"\"Red Commanders\"\" offers new insight into the workings of a military giant and also restores Leon Trotsky to his rightful place in Soviet military history by featuring his ideas on building a new army from the ground up. It is an important look behind the scenes at a military establishment that continues to face leadership challenges in Russia today.

Despite the spread of democratization following the Cold War's end, all signs indicate that we are currently seeing a resurgence of authoritarianism. Around forty percent of the world's people live under some form of authoritarian rule, and authoritarian regimes govern about a third of the world's countries. In Authoritarianism: What Everyone Needs to KnowRG, Erica Frantz guides us through today's authoritarian wave, explaining how it came to be and what its\nfeatures are. She also looks at authoritarians themselves, focusing in particular on the techniques they use to take power, the strategies they use to survive, and how they fall. As she demonstrates, understanding how politics works in authoritarian regimes and recognizing the factors that either give rise\nto them or trigger their downfall, remains as important as ever. This book paves the ways for such an understanding. Authoritarianism is a clear and concise overview that provides readers with a context for making sense of one of the most important-and most worrying-developments in contemporary world politics.

Hugh R. Slotten Beyond Sputnik And The Space Race: The Origins Of Global Satellite Communications
Lafeltrinelli.it
Brand: Hugh R. Slotten
EAN:
9781421441221Categoria: Libri e riviste
A fascinating account of how the United States established the first global satellite communications system to project geopolitical leadership during the Cold War.\n\nOn July 20, 1969, the world watched, spellbound, as NASA astronaut Neil Armstrong stepped off the Apollo 11 lunar module to walk on the moon. NASA estimated that 20 percent of the planet's population—nearly 650 million people—watched the moon landing footage, which was made possible by the first global satellite communications system, the International Telecommunications Satellite Organization, or Intelsat. \n\nIn Beyond Sputnik and the Space Race, Hugh R. Slotten analyzes the efforts of US officials, especially during the Kennedy administration, to establish this satellite communication system and open it to all countries of the world. Locked in competition with the Soviet Union for both military superiority and international prestige, President John F. Kennedy overturned the Eisenhower administration's policy of treating satellite communications as simply an extension of traditionally regulated telecommunications. Instead of allowing private communications companies to set up separate systems that would likely primarily serve major \"developed\" regions, the new administration decided to take the lead in establishing a single world system. Explaining how the East-West Cold War conflict became increasingly influenced by North-South tensions during this period, Slotten highlights the growing importance of non-aligned countries in Asia, Latin America, and Africa. He also underscores the importance of a political economy of \"total Cold War\" in which many crucial aspects of US society became tied to imperatives of national security and geopolitical prestige. \n\nDrawing on detailed archival records to examine the full range of decisionmakers involved in the Intelsat system, Beyond Sputnik and the Space Race spotlights mid- and lower-level agency staff usually ignored by historians. One of the few works to analyze the establishment of a major global infrastructure project, this book provides an outstanding analytical overview of the history of global electronic communications from the mid-nineteenth century to the present.

EAN:

Far from always having been an isolated nation and a pariah state in the international community, North Korea exercised significant influence among Third World nations during the Cold War era. With one foot in the socialist Second World and the other in the anticolonial Third World, North Korea occupied a unique position as both a postcolonial nation and a Soviet client state, and sent advisors to assist African liberation movements, trained anti-imperialist guerilla fighters, and completed building projects in developing countries. State-run media coverage of events in the Third World shaped the worldview of many North Koreans and helped them imagine a unified anti-imperialist front that stretched from the boulevards of Pyongyang to the streets of the Gaza Strip and the beaches of Cuba. \n\n\nThis book tells the story of North Korea's transformation in the Third World from model developmental state to reckless terrorist nation, and how Pyongyang's actions, both in the Third World and on the Korean peninsula, ultimately backfired against the Kim family regime's foreign policy goals. Based on multinational and multi-archival research, this book examines the intersection of North Korea's domestic and foreign policies and the ways in which North Korea's developmental model appealed to the decolonizing world.

Il Cold Case dell'ispettore Rebus in cima alle classifiche inglesi.\r\n\r\n«Con chi ha parlato esattamente, Siobhan?»\r\n«È un ex poliziotto, in pensione da qualche anno. Se lo conosco, sarà qui nl giro di un quarto d'ora.»\r\n«Nel frattempo potrebbe dirci qualcosa di lui?»\r\n«In un quarto d'ora?» Siobhan sbuffò. «Non renderei di certo giustizia a John Rebus.»\r\nAncora una volta Ian Rankin costruisce con grande abilità un impianto narrativo complesso, una casa degli specchi che confonde e disorienta il lettore, un teatro delle ombre al cui centro c’è di nuovo lui, John Rebus, sempre unico e dolorosamente umano. John Rebus è in pensione da un pezzo, ma la sua memoria no. Per questo, quando si diffonde la notizia che nei boschi di Edimburgo quattro ragazzini hanno trovato un cadavere dentro un'auto, lui sa già che si tratta di una Polo rossa e che il corpo appartiene a Stuart Bloom. Ha le manette ai piedi, ed è evidentemente morto da tempo. La sua scomparsa, in effetti, risale a dieci anni prima, quando le ricerche della polizia si erano risolte in un nulla di fatto. Rebus ricorda bene quella storia: la rabbia della famiglia Bloom, le accuse di corruzione piovute sulla sua squadra Certi casi, lui lo sa, ti seguono fino alla tomba. Però all'epoca quella zona era stata perlustrata a fondo, \"decine di uomini, centinaia di ore\". Perché solo ora il ritrovamento? La detective Siobhan Clarke, oggi alla guida del caso, cammina su un filo di seta; l'indagine precedente ha lasciato dietro di sé troppi punti oscuri, un magma denso di bugie e di segreti insabbiati. E dato che a condurla c'era anche John Rebus, vecchio amico di Clarke e discussa leggenda della polizia scozzese, mettersi ora a scavare nel passato è quasi un azzardo.
