"Fallen Comrade: A Story of the Korean War tells the story of three young men from Clinton, Mississippi, who served in the US Marine Corps during the Korean War. Waller King, Joe Albritton, and Homer Ainsworth were childhood friends who grew up in the same neighborhood, went to the same schools, attended the same church, and eventually joined the same Marine Corps reserve unit in Jackson. Through extensive interviews with people who knew them, as well as excerpts from their letters and journals, this volume traces the life experiences of King, Albritton, and Ainsworth through their adolescence and into the war. Despite their shared origins, the three young men met different fates. Ainsworth was in Korea just two months before he was killed. Albritton and King returned home after the war, but Albritton died tragically in an automobile accident mere weeks later. King went on to college and experienced success in business, the joys of a family, and the rewards of community service, all of which were denied his childhood friends by their early deaths. Part biography and part military history, Fallen Comrade examines what happened to three young men from Clinton, their childhood in small-town Mississippi, their service as Marines in Korea, and their legacy to their hometown"--

**A TIMES AND SUNDAY TIMES HISTORY BOOK OF THE YEAR**Quite simply, this book is a work of genius - Matthew Parris, The SpectatorAn essential study of post-war gay London life... one of the best anthologies I have ever read - John Self, The ObserverWith it's wide-ranging selection, generous biographical notes and provocative bibliography, Some Men in London is a serious and important contribution to our understanding of Britain up to today - Fiona Sampson, The TabletAn absolutely extraordinary book ... about actually what life was like for homosexual men in London in the 1940s and the 1950s... It's amazing - Dominic Sandbrook The first part of a major new anthology which uncovers the rich reality of life for queer men in LondonIn the 1940s, it was believed that homosexuality had been becoming more widespread in the aftermath of war. A moral panic ensued, centred around London as the place to which gay men gravitated.In a major new anthology, Peter Parker explores what it was actually like for queer men in London in this period, whether they were well-known figures such as John Gielgud, 'Chips' Channon and E.M. Forster, or living lives of quiet - or occasionally rowdy - anonymity in pubs, clubs, more public places of assignation, or at home. It is rich with letters, diaries, psychological textbooks, novels, films, plays and police records, covering a wide range of viewpoints, from those who deplored homosexuality to those who campaigned for its decriminalisation.This first volume, from 1945 to 1959, details a community forced to live at constant risk of blackmail or prison. Yet it also shows a thriving and joyous subculture, one that enriched a mainstream culture often ignorant of its debt to gay creators. Some Men In London is a testament to queer life, which was always much more complex than newspapers, governments and the Metropolitan Police Force imagined.

The warbegan on 25 June 1950 when North Korea invaded South Korea following clashes along the borderand rebellions in South Korea.North Korea was supported by China and the Soviet Union while South Korea was supported by theUnited States and allied countries. The fighting ended with an armistice on 27 July 1953.In 1910, ImperialJapan annexed Korea, where it ruled for 35 years until its surrender at the end of World War II on 15August 1945. The United States and the Soviet Union divided Korea along the 38th parallel into twozones of occupation. The Soviets administered the northern zone, and the Americans administeredthe southern zone. In 1948, because of Cold War tensions, the occupation zones became two sovereignstates. A communist state, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, was established in the northunder the totalitarian rule of Kim Il Sung, while a capitalist state, the Republic of Korea, was establishedin the south under the autocratic leadership of Syngman Rhee.

"The Pig Farmer's Wife" immerses readers into a transformative era, referred to today as the second wave of feminism. Unfathomable as it may sound, it was a mere fifty years ago when women couldn't own a credit card in their own name, take out a bank loan, or manage their own monies without having a male-overseer agree responsibilty for them. The restrictions of that era lay the groundwork for this novel, with many twists and captivating turns turns as the female protagonists shatter the monetary barriers by ingeniously funding their business through unconventional means. As their enterprise flourished, the women not only challenged and revolutionized public perceptions of women-owned businesses, but they also proved their indispensable value to the community. How did these resourceful women navigate their financial obstacles, and what impact did their success have on societal views today?

This book explores the experiences of people affected by the Partition of British India and princely states in 1947 through first-person accounts, memoirs, archival material, literature, and cinema. It focuses on the displacement, violence and trauma of the people affected and interrogates the interrelationships between nationalism, temporality, religion, and citizenship.The authors examine the mass migrations triggered by the 1947 Partition, amidst nationalist posturing, religious violence, and debates on crucial issues of refugee rehabilitation and redistribution of land and resources. It focuses on the drawing of the borders and the ruptures in the socio-cultural bonds within regions and communities brought on by demographic changes, violence, and displacement. The volume reflects on the significant mark left by the event on the socio-political sensibilities of various communities, and the questions of identity and citizenship. It also studies the effects of Partition on the politics of Bangladesh and India's east and northeast states, specifically Bengal, Assam and Tripura.A significant addition to the existing corpus on Partition historiography, this book will be of interest to modern Indian history, partition studies, border studies, sociology, refugee and migration studies, cultural studies, literature, post-colonial studies and South Asian studies, particularly those concerned with Bengal, Northeast India and Bangladesh.

Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio proposes a perception of reality and of what lies beyond it. The rational, the irrational and the transrational are fundamentally linked to this author's writing. His writing is a philosophy of existence, with all its certainties and uncertainties. Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio's writing is marked by reflection and perpetual questioning. One might even say that it is writing at the frontiers of human thought in its relationship to knowledge and truth. The questions that pile up in Leclézio's novels bear witness to a kind of repeated anxiety that runs through the stories and the characters.

An extraordinary year in football.

This book aims to analyze the profiles of women built in the poetics of Chico Buarque, confronting myths and legends that projected the image of women over time, contributing to literary studies on the subject. Francisco Buarque de Hollanda, better known as Chico Buarque, is a musician, playwright and writer who became an icon in Brazilian culture, because when we talk about Brazilian popular music (MPB) in the decades of 1960 - 70 it is impossible not to make reference to Chico, due to his great contribution to the cultural scene of the country. Thus, the research aims to understand, through literary analysis, the meanings put in the songs of Chico Buarque, in which he thematizes the female figure, conflicting with the fact that the female is considered a social marginality, in various periods of history.

Beyond Courage recounts several inspiring feats of escape and evasion by downed airmen during the Korean conflict. The airmen endured incredible hardships, first at the hands of their captors, then as they managed, by one means or another, to make their way back to the safety of U.N. lines. As preparation for the book, author Clay Blair researched the military's incident records, then interviewed the survivors themselves to fill in any gaps in the accounts told to Air Force officers shortly after their rescue, and to recapture their personal reactions to their arduous adventures. The stories include members of the U.N. forces in Korea-not solely Americans-but also Turks and Greeks and 'ROK's (Republic of Korea soldiers), and friendly North Korean Christians, who risked their lives to help downed airmen. In addition to enemy soldiers, the terrain and climate posed terrible challenges to men without adequate food, clothing, or shelter. In the story Cold, for example, one can feel the sub-zero temperatures as the escapee struggles to walk for miles with frozen feet (doctors would later be forced to amputate both feet to save the airman's life). Challenges were also psychological, as portrayed in the first story, Robinson Crusoe of MiG Alley. There, a downed airman recounts his shattering loneliness of a month spent on a deserted island-with friendly planes flying over almost daily but ignorant of the plight of the stranded airman below them. Despite the passage of nearly 70 years since the cessation of this 'forgotten war, ' the stories in Beyond Courage remain a testament to the power of human endurance and will in the face of extreme, life-threatening challenges.

Today, technology invades man's life, often to the point of depriving him of happiness, which justifies the need of the 21st century man for a refuge where he can find his lost happiness. Among these writers, Michel Tournier in Vendredi ou les limbes du Pacifique pushes this fugitive man to an island where he not only finds life, but also begins the search for himself. Thus, as the story progresses, the physical journey takes on another form, that of the inner journey. At the same time, Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio treats the same theme in Désert from his own point of view. What attracts attention in these two works is the fact that the journey is first physical, before turning into an inner quest. Indeed, the characters leave their homes and it is through this physical displacement that their communication with the outside world evolves.

IN THE WORLD Some countries in Latin America and Africa, two centuries and fifty years after their independence respectively, have not yet managed to solve economic underdevelopment. This is in spite of the theories, models, economic solutions available or the abundant presence of scholars and experts in the field. Our research has uncovered the main phenomenon that has always prevented and complicated the sustainable resolution of problems in nations, while at the same time transmitting the problems from generation to generation. Our research has just discovered the main phenomenon that prevents even the great scholars and experts from discovering the root causes that produce most of the problem. Now with this discovery, the world will easily solve its public problems. The results of our research provide a new approach to sustainable problem solving. TO THE DRC The results of our research bring the only adequate solution that is missing not only today but since the time of Mobutu to solve durably the socio-political crisis of the DRC.

Ab 2023 erscheint das deutschsprachige Standardwerk für die Trägerraketen der USA in einer neuen Auflage. Es wird in mehrere Teilbände gesplittet. Band 1 behandelt die frühen und kleinen Trägerraketen. Dazu gehören die Vanguard, die den ersten US-Satelliten starten sollte, aber letztendlich nur den zweiten Satelliten startete. Die Konkurrenz Jupiter-C/Juno I entstand aus der militärisch genutzten Redstone und startete die Explorer 1. Die Juno II entstand aus der Jupiter-IRBM mit dem Oberstufenbündel der Jupiter und startete die erste erfolgreiche Raumsonde der USA, Pioneer 4, die 1959 am Mond vorbeiflog.Zu den frühen, kleinen US-Trägerraketen gehört auch das Projekt Pilot. Es war ein erst in den Neunziger Jahren bekanntes Projekt der US-Navy, das 1958 versuchte, mit einer von einem Flugzeug abgeworfenen Rakete einen Satelliten zu starten. Keiner der Starts der Pilot war jedoch erfolgreich.Den Abschluss dieses Bandes bildet die Scout. Sie löste ab 1961 die Vanguard und Juno I ab und wurde in verschiedenen Versionen bis in die Neunziger Jahre eingesetzt.Gegenüber dem Abschnitt aus dem Buch US-Trägerraketen wurde weiter ergänzt, vor allem über die Vorgeschichte der Selektion der Rakete für den ersten US-Träger und für die wenigen Starts der Vanguard Juno I und II um deren komplette Einsatzgeschichte.Diese Reihe bildet den endgültigen Abschluss der Enzyklopädie von Bernd Leitenberger über US-Trägerraketen, die schon in der vorherigen Auflage zum Standardwerk wurde.Weitere Bände über Titan, Atlas, Delta, Schwerlastraketen und neuere Träger ab 1990 erscheinen in den nächsten Jahren.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2023 im Fachbereich Philosophie - Philosophie des 20. Jahrhunderts, Note: 2,0, , Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Kann es in abweichenden, illegalen und nicht standesgemäßen Verhalten, sogar positive Elemente geben? Was bedeutet dies nun für eine Organisation? Laut Niklas Luhmann gibt es im Hintergrund formeller Organisationen auch informelle Organisationen. Daher möchte ich mit Niklas Luhmann der Frage nachgehen, ob Illegalität benutzt wird und somit auf sein Konzept der "brauchbaren Illegalität" eingehen.Zu Beginn wird Luhmanns Systemtheorie anhand formaler Organisationen als Ausgangspunkt kurz vorgestellt und erläutert. Den wichtigsten Teil stellt dann die Interpretation der "brauchbaren Illegalität" dar. Im Fokus steht, was man aus dem Illegalen nutzen kann, wann es "nützlich" wird und welche Abläufe dahinter stecken. Wann ist Abweichung schädlich und wann ist sie vorteilhaft für die Organisation? Wer entscheidet darüber, und warum missachten Vorgesetzte Regeln und Normen und erklären sich? Unter welchen Umständen entsteht diese Illegalität überhaupt? Bevor die Arbeit schließlich mit einer Zusammenfassung abschließt, soll der Begriff der "brauchbaren Illegalität" auf ein praktisches Beispiel angewendet werden. Rückblickend hat vermutlich jeder oder jede einmal gegen etablierte Normen gehandelt, beispielsweise wenn er oder sie sich als Kind traute, einen Lutscher zu stehlen, in der Straßenbahn kein Ticket zu kaufen oder über eine rote Ampel gelaufen ist. Das sind natürlich "Kleinigkeiten", aber sie machen deutlich, dass Eskapismus ein Teil unseres Lebens ist. Werden nun Unternehmen, Institutionen, Verbänden, Behörden und einer Vielzahl weiterer Organisationsformen betrachtet, so kann festgestellt werden, dass diese durch zahlreiche Verordnungen, Richtlinien und einen hohen Formalisierungsgrad gekennzeichnet sind. Regeln, Vorschriften und Standards werden kodifiziert und es wird erhofft, dass das niemand diesen Normen abweicht. Ist es überhaupt möglich Abschweifungen zu verhindern? Noch wichtiger: Müssen alle informellen Dinge blockiert werden?

A writer of passion and death, Duras can also be described as a writer of the intimate. As shown in the stories of the sixties, Moderato Cantabile, Ten and a half hours of the evening in summer, Hiroshima my love and The Ravishment of Lol V. Stein, the silence around which the texts are built, the mystery that surrounds the female characters and their feelings, are the sign of an "intimate" experience kept secret, internalized, never quite expressed. In these works, Duras tirelessly tries to penetrate the intimacy of the heroines by seeking to uncover and understand their experiences, this painful and personal history that remains buried. Duras will thus only write and rewrite the traumatic event lived by her heroines. The lack and the absence, omnipresent motives also associated with the female characters, turn out to echo an impossible mourning. While this process of rewriting is indicative of a quest for a solution, Duras seems far from having resolved the heroines' immemorial past, since absence, love and death are directly or indirectly linked to childhood, to the mother and to the death of the younger brother.
