Guerrilla Nation: My Wars In and Out of Vietnam

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Maclear, Michael, PUBLISHER: Dundurn Group Ltd, In September , Michael Maclear, the first Western television journalist allowed inside North Vietnam, was in Hanoi for CBC-TV when Ho Chi Minh died. He recounted in gripping detail how an entire population had been trained for generations in guerrilla combat. His reporting was highly controversial and led to interference by the RCMP and the U.S. Pentagon. Later Maclear was taken blindfolded to a Hanoi prison for captive U.S. pilots, some of whom condemned the war. President Richard Nixon described the journalist as "duped." At odds with a nervous CBC, Maclear was dismissed as foreign correspondent and then resigned from the network. Recently, Maclear returned to Vietnam and interviewed surviving key figures from the war. In this book he includes startling new information on guerrilla tactics and delivers an impassioned argument for the necessity of journalistic impartiality and integrity that those who care about such things can't afford to miss.

The Twenty-Five Year Century: A South Vietnamese General

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Lam, Quang Thi / Thi, Lam Quang, PUBLISHER: University of North Texas Press, For Victor Hugo, the nineteenth century could be remembered by only its first two years, which established peace in Europe and France's supremacy on the continent. For Gen. Lam Quang Thi, the twentieth century had only twenty-five years: from to , during which the Republic of Vietnam and its army grew up and collapsed with the fall of Saigon. This is the story of those twenty-five years. General Thi fought in the Indochina War as a battery commander on the side of the French. When Viet Minh aggression began after the Geneva Accords, he served in the nascent Vietnamese National Army, and his career covers this army's entire lifespan. He was deputy commander of the 7th Infantry Division, and in he assumed command of the 9th Infantry Division. In , at the age of thirty-three, he became one of the youngest generals in the Vietnamese Army. He participated in the Tet Offensive before being removed from the front lines for political reasons. When North Vietnam launched the Great Offensive, he was brought back to the field and eventually promoted to commander of an Army Corps Task Force along the Demilitarized Zone. With the fall of Saigon, he left Vietnam and emigrated to the United States. Like his tactics during battle, General Thi pulls no punches in his denunciation of the various regimes of the Republic and complacency and arrogance toward Vietnam in the policies of both France and the United States. Without lapsing into bitterness, this is finally a tribute to the soldiers who fell on behalf of a good cause.

American Indian Languages: The Historical Linguistics of

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Campbell, Lyle, PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, Native American languages are spoken from Siberia to Greenland, and from the Arctic to Tierra del Fuego; they include the southernmost language of the world (Yaghan) and some of the northernmost (Eskimoan). Campbell's project is to take stock of what is currently known about the history of Native American languages and in the process examine the state of American Indian historical linguistics, and the success and failure of its various methodologies. There is remarkably little consensus in the field, largely due to the publication of Language in the Americas by Joseph Greenberg. He claimed to trace a historical relation between all American Indian languages of North and South America, implying that most of the Western Hemisphere was settled by a single wave of immigration from Asia. This has caused intense controversy and Campbell, as a leading scholar in the field, intends this volume to be, in part, a response to Greenberg. Finally, Campbell demonstrates that the historical study of Native American languages has always relied on up-to-date methodology and theoretical assumptions and did not, as is often believed, lag behind the European historical linguistic tradition.

The United Nations System: Coordinating Its Economic and

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hill, Martin / Hill, Julia, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, This book is about a problem that had moved to the centre of international concern when it was first published in - how the UN System was to cope with the overwhelming volume of world wide economic and social tasks that had been placed upon it. The UN System comprises, in addition to the UN Organization itself, the Specialized Agencies like FAO, WHO and the World Bank, the regional commissions, the innumerable semi-independent programmes like the UN Development Programme, UNCTAD and the UN Environment Programme. There was a growing concern among governments and the intelligent public of developing and developed countries alike that the UN System stood in urgent need of greater internal cohesion and important structural reforms.

The Sword and the Olive: A Critical History of the Israeli

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Van Crevald, Martin L., PUBLISHER: PublicAffairs, The Israeli Defense Force has long been one of the world's preeminent fighting forces, time and again capturing headlines by fighting -- often against great odds -- its Arab neighbors, and winning. How did the IDF become so formidable? Is it -- was it ever -- everything it's cracked up to be? The Sword and the Olive traces the history of the IDF from its beginnings in Palestine to today, detailing its formidable accomplishments and demonstrating how its success has proved to be a double-edged sword for Israel. Combining razor-sharp analysis with dramatic narrative, vivid portraits of generals and infantrymen with illuminating discussions of battle tactics and covert actions, The Sword and the Olive goes beyond chronology to wrestle with the political and ethical struggles that have shaped the IDF and the country it serves. Often revisionist in attitude, and surprising in many of its conclusions, this book casts new tight on the struggle for peace in the Middle East.

From Colonies to Country

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hakim, Joy, PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, How did compliant colonials with strong ties to Europe get the notion to become an independent nation? Perhaps the seeds of liberty were planted in the historic courtroom battle for the freedom of the press. Or maybe the French and Indian War did it, when colonists were called "Americans" for the first time by the English, and the great English army proved itself not so formidable after all. But for sure when King George III started levying some heavy-handed taxes on the colonies, the break from the motherland was imminent. With such enthralling characters as George Washington, Sam Adams, Patrick Henry, Eliza Pinckney, and Alexander Hamilton throughout, From Colonies to Country is an amazing story of a nation-making transformation.

Resources & Population

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: MacFarlane, Alan / MacFarlane / Fortes, Meyer, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, In many areas of the world destruction of natural resources and the rapid growth of populaton are among the most important problems facing individuals and governments. This book, first published in , utilises the tools of social anthropology and population studies in an attempt to see some of the causes and consequences of populations growth and some of the effects of change on natural resources. It analyses a particular 'community' in the Annapurna range of the central Himalayas during this century, and investigates how the destruction of forests and the growth of settled rice cultivation have occurred, and some of the consequences. The Gurungs are famous as recruits to the Gurkha regiments of the British and Indian armies, and the demographic and economic effects of foreign mercenary labour are among the topics examined.

Fighting Women: Anger and Aggression in Aboriginal Australia

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Burbank, Victoria Katherine, PUBLISHER: University of California Press, Fighting is common among contemporary Aboriginal women in Mangrove, Australia--women fight with men and with other women. Victoria Burbank's depiction of these women offers a powerful new perspective that can be applied to domestic violence in Western settings. Noting that Aboriginal women not only talk without shame about their emotions of anger but also express them in acts of aggression and defense, Burbank emphasizes the positive social and cultural implications of women's refusal to be victims. She explores questions of hierarchy and the expression of emotions, as well as women's roles in domestic violence. Human aggression can be experienced and expressed in different ways, she says, and is not necessarily always "wrong." Timely and controversial, "Fighting Women" will stimulate discussion of aggression and gender relations and will enlarge the debate on the victimization of women and children everywhere.
