Explore how the Korean War Started, the Aftermath, and the Events in Between The narrative of the Korean War in the West, particularly in the United States, tells the tale of a conflict between two global superpowers and competing ideologies in a far-flung corner of the globe. The reality is that the wheels of motion that drove the country to war in 1950 began turning long before American boots set foot on Korean soil. The heart of the conflict was a civil war between a population arbitrarily divided by colonization and global geopolitics at the end of the Second World War. It is about an often-forgotten war, fighting for its place in history between the two behemoths of the Second World War and the Vietnam War, which was no less significant, no less destructive, and had no less impact on the global politics of the twentieth century. Some of the topics covered in this book include: - The Japanese Ascendency: 1910-1945 - A Korea Divided: The US Occupation of the South - The Forging of the North Korean State - First Blood: The Outbreak of War - Strike Hard and Strike Fast: The US Retreat - Bittersweet Victories: American Revival and China's Decision to Cross the Yalu - How Do You Solve a Problem Like China? - The Bloody Ceasefire and Looming Bomb - The Legacy of the Korean War - And a Great Deal More that You don't Want to Miss out on!

Explore the Fascinating Life of Jackie Kennedy Without a doubt, the name Jackie Kennedy draws multiple thoughts to mind; she is, perhaps, most well-known in her service as the first lady of the United States, as her husband, John F. Kennedy, took office as the president, and her role in restoring the White House. Then, of course, other people remember Jacqueline for her role in the fashion industry, particularly her pink Chanel suit and matching pillbox hat, which became a symbol of her husband's assassination. Jackie is so renowned and beloved that she ranks as one of the most popular first ladies. In fact, Jacqueline was named in 1999 on Gallup's list of Most Admired Men and Women in twentieth-century America. While she made major impacts on the White House, Jackie was much more than her title as first lady.

Explore the Captivating History of the Vietnam War The Vietnam War represented a watershed not only in American and Vietnamese history but also internationally. It wasn't just a battle between two nations but between two ideologies, two military strategies, and a fight for the hearts and minds of two vastly different national populations. Few conflicts in global history symbolize as much as Vietnam. From the civil rights movement to the role of the media in warfare, the Vietnam War was unique in the sense that it could not be contained as a military matter but transcended across every area of Vietnamese and American society. The word 'Vietnam' describes an era of history, not just an isolated war in a small nation in Southeast Asia. It is the lens through which the America and Vietnam of today must be interpreted. Few conflicts have or will ever shape the world as much as the Vietnam War. Some of the topics and questions covered in this book include: - The French and the First Indochina War - Out of the Frying Pan, Into the Fire: The Government of Ngo Dinh Diem - Pragmatism and Idealism - The Death of Two Catholic Presidents - Smoke and Mirrors: Johnson's War - The American War Machine - The Tet Nightmare - Nixon and Kissinger Scroll to the top and download the book now for instant access!

Explore the Rise of Adolf Hitler Free History BONUS Inside!Was Hitler, as Ian Kershaw asked, a natural consequence of German history, or an aberration?

The Story of Atlantis W. Scott-Elliot - FROM the time of the Greeks and the Romans onwards, volumes have been written about the peoples who in their turn have filled the stage of history. Their political institutions, religious beliefs, social and domestic manners and customs have all been analyzed and catalogued, and countless works in many languages record for the march of human progress. But little is known of the hundreds of thousands of years which elapsed from the time when the earliest humans started populating the Earth to the time of the Greeks and Romans - a time which bore witness to the rise and fall of innumerable civilizations, but especially to the most fabled ancient civilization of them all Atlantis. This book by W. Scott-Elliot attempts to do exactly this.Any record of the world's progress during the period of the Atlantean race must embrace the history of many nations and register the rise and fall of many civilizations. While it records the rise and the glory it must also record the decadence and ultimate demise of the Atlantean civilization as a whole. But above all, it should also trace any effects that this once great civilization still has on us in the 21st Century.Since the Atlantean craze was started in the late 19th C., many expeditions, searches and surveys have been conducted to find the remains of the fabled Atlantean civilization. To date all have been judged inconclusive.But what is it that keeps the Atlantean legend alive and in our consciousness? Could it be that the human race has a residual memory of this once great civilization? While our knowledge and libraries have grown enormously since the 1890s with vastly improved access, it would be a foolish person that states unequivocally that Atlantis doesnt exist or never existed at all; for to say so would be like believing the medieval Churchs claim that world was the centre of the universe. In mankinds mind it was, until it was proven it wasnt.

The Subjection of Women John Stuart Mill - John Stuart Mill wrote the revolutionary essay The Subjection of Women with notes that it was strongly influenced by his wife, Harriet Taylor Mill. Modern scholars have questioned the legacy that husband constructed for wife in which he has been accused of making exorbitant claims about her intelligence and influence. Despite that revisionist approach, however, The Subjection of Women strongly resembles in both content and character an essay titled The Enfranchisement of Women published by Harriet in 1851. In that essay, she argued in favor of a utilitarian approach to equality which asserted the presence of hostility toward women kept them subjugated at all levels of society. The Subjection of Women was published by in 1869.The Subjection of Women is notable for situating John Stuart Mill at the forefront of the developing notion of a feminist movement. Not exactly called that, those who were daring enough to suggest that women could be the intellectual equal of men were viewed as profoundly radical in their thinking at best and dangerously delusional at worst.Over the course of four chapters, Mill carefully delineates his argument for an innate equality existing between the sexes and then goes on to suggest that this innate equality is being stifled by denial of access to education. Mill also calls on reform to change existing social structures. Overlaying all this a fundamental appeal to the simple morality of the issue. Indeed, Mill makes an caustic appeal to intellectual evil of the immorality of subjugating women as second class citizens due the prejudicial limitations of birth and birth alone.It is within the realm of morality that Mills essay take attains level of truly revolutionary literature. While raising irrefutable scientific points, the appeal cuts most deeply in his assertion that subjection of women is a systemic choice based on scientific ignorance, but also willful disregard of empirical evidence.

Für Dr. Norden ist kein Mensch nur ein 'Fall', er sieht immer den ganzen Menschen in seinem Patienten. Er gibt nicht auf, wenn er auf schwierige Fälle stößt, bei denen kein sichtbarer Erfolg der Heilung zu erkennen ist. Immer an seiner Seite ist seine Frau Fee, selbst eine großartige Ärztin, die ihn mit feinem, häufig detektivischem Spürsinn unterstützt. Auf sie kann er sich immer verlassen, wenn es darum geht zu helfen. Patricia Vandenberg ist die Begründerin von "Dr. Norden", der erfolgreichsten Arztromanserie deutscher Sprache, von "Dr. Laurin", "Sophienlust" und "Im Sonnenwinkel". Ohne ihre Pionierarbeit wäre der Roman nicht das geworden, was er heute ist. »Bekannte Privatklinik vor dem Aus?« Nachdem ihr Mann in die Behnisch-Klinik gerufen worden war, hatte Fee Norden die Zeitung aufgeschlagen, um sich abzulenken. Die Chefin Dr. Jenny Behnisch rang nach einer Infektion mit dem Marburg-Virus mit dem Leben, und es gab nichts, was Felicitas tun konnte. Doch auch das, was sie zu lesen bekam, war alles andere als dazu angetan, ihre Stimmung aufzuhellen. »Nicht genug damit, dass die Behnisch-Klinik in Sachen Sicherheit offenbar nur unzureichend ausgestattet ist, kam nun auch noch ein Unterschlagungsskandal ans Licht der Öffentlichkeit«, las Fee atemlos das, was der sensationslüsterne Reporter in reißerischer Manier berichtete. »Es handelt sich um das weit über die Stadtgrenzen hinaus bekannt gewordene Projekt ›Ein Bild für Mami‹ der Arztfrau Felicitas Norden. Hierbei bekommen Kinder schwer erkrankter Mütter die Gelegenheit, ihre traumatischen Erfahrungen in einer Maltherapie aufzuarbeiten. Leider scheint Frau Dr. Nordens unermüdliches Engagement nicht nur dem guten Zweck sondern vielmehr ihrem eigenen Kontostand gegolten zu haben. Wie der Verlag aus sicherer Quelle erfuhr, wurde ein fünfstelliger Betrag über Umwege auf ein Konto überwiesen, dessen Inhaberin niemand anderer als die engagierte Ärztin und Mutter von fünf Kindern ist …« Fassungslos ließ Fee das Blatt sinken. »Was ist denn, Mami? Geht's dir nicht gut?«, erkundigte sich die älteste Tochter Anneka besorgt. Während die anderen Kinder längst vom Frühstückstisch aufgestanden und das Weite gesucht hatten, war sie bei ihrer Mutter geblieben, um ihr Gesellschaft zu leisten. »Du bist ja auf einmal ganz blass.« Hastig faltete Felicitas die Zeitung zusammen und verbarg sie auf ihrem Schoß. Auf keinen Fall sollten ihre Kinder von dieser unerhörten Lüge erfahren.
