Free Download The Unpredictability of the Past: Memories of the Asia-Pacific War in U.S.-East Asian Relations By Marc S. Gallicchio
2007 | 352 Pages | ISBN: 0822339455 | PDF | 2 MB
In The Unpredictability of the Past, an international group of historians examines how collective memories of the Asia-Pacific War continue to affect relations among China, Japan, and the United States. The contributors are primarily concerned with the history of international relations broadly conceived to encompass not only governments but also nongovernmental groups and organizations that influence the interactions of peoples across the Pacific. Taken together, the essays provide a rich, multifaceted analysis of how the dynamic interplay between past and present is manifest in policymaking, popular culture, public commemorations, and other arenas. The contributors interpret mass media sources, museum displays, monuments, film, and literature, as well as the archival sources traditionally used by historians. They explore how American ideas about Japanese history shaped U.S. occupation policy following Japan’s surrender in 1945, and how memories of the Asia-Pacific War influenced Washington and Tokyo policymakers’ reactions to the postwar rise of Soviet power. They investigate topics from the resurgence of Pearl Harbor images in the U.S. media in the decade before September 11, 2001, to the role of Chinese war museums both within China and in Chinese-Japanese relations, and from the controversy over the Smithsonian Institution’s Enola Gay exhibit to Japanese tourists’ reactions to the USS Arizona memorial at Pearl Harbor. One contributor traces how a narrative commemorating African Americans’ military service during World War II eclipsed the history of their significant early-twentieth-century appreciation of Japan as an ally in the fight against white supremacy. Another looks at the growing recognition and acknowledgment in both the United States and Japan of the Chinese dimension of World War II. By focusing on how memories of the Asia-Pacific War have been contested, imposed, resisted, distorted, and revised, The Unpredictability of the Past demonstrates the crucial role that interpretations of the past play in the present.Contributors.

Free Download Men of 18 in 1918: Memories of the Western Front in World War One (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BVXJQZ16 | 2023 | 9 hours and 29 minutes | [email protected] kbps | 265 MB
Author: Frederick James Hodges
Narrator: John Lee
An astounding account of one young infantryman’s personal experience of the Western Front in the last year of World War One. In the spring of 1918, German forces broke through Allied lines in a last-ditch attempt to overcome their enemies. To hold back this tide, inexperienced young men from France, Britain, the United States, Australia, and Canada were sent into war against battle-hardened and desperate German soldiers. What was it like to be an eighteen-year-old and sent to the frontlines in the First World War? Frederick James Hodges was one of these young men and his book, Men of 18 in 1918, provides insight into the ordeals of an ordinary soldier who left Britain as a teenager but returned as a man having witnessed the full horrors of war. Hodges charts his progress through the conflict from his short period of training to being thrown into defending Allied lines against the onslaught before being ordered, as part of Britain’s prime assault troops, into a ninety-five-day non-stop attack which only ended with the armistice of November 1918.

Free Download Thomas Hecht, "Life Death Memories"
English | ISBN: 1138527246 | 2020 | 222 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
I had an uneventful childhood. My family loved me." The author’s direct, personal voice gives this Holocaust memoir its power. Although the writing is direct, almost monosyllabic at times, the book is not intended for young readers. It conveys a brutality that is sudden and close, just as it was for the boy when he heard that his beloved older brother and his father had been shot to death and thrown into a common grave.

Paletó and Me: Memories of My Indigenous Father By Aparecida Vilaça
2021 | 230 Pages | ISBN: 1503629333 | PDF | 22 MB
Winner of the prestigious Casa de las Américas Prize, this work spins a heartfelt story of an improbable relationship between an anthropologist and her charismatic Indigenous father. When Aparecida Vilaça first traveled down the remote Negro River in Amazonia, she expected to come back with notebooks and tapes full of observations about the Indigenous Wari’ people―but not with a new father. In Paletó and Me, Vilaça shares her life with her adoptive Wari’ family, and the profound personal transformations involved in becoming kin. Paletó―unfailingly charming, always prepared with a joke―shines with life in Vilaça’s account of their unusual father-daughter relationship. Paletó was many things: he was a survivor, who lived through the arrival of violent invaders and diseases. He was a leader, who taught through laughter and care, spoke softly, yet was always ready to jump into the unknown. He could shift seamlessly between the roles of the observer and the observed, and in his visits to Rio de Janeiro, deconstructs urban social conventions with ease and wit. Begun the day after Paletó’s death at the age of 85, Paletó and Me is a celebration of life, weaving together the author’s own memories of learning the lifeways of Indigenous Amazonia with her father’s testimony to Wari’ persistence in the face of colonization. Speaking from the heart as both anthropologist and daughter, Vilaça offers an intimate look at Indigenous lives in Brazil over nearly a century.

Walter M. Imahara, "Jerome and Rohwer: Memories of Japanese American Internment in World War II Arkansas"
English | ISBN: 1682261883 | 2022 | 256 pages | EPUB | 9 MB
Not long after the attack on Pearl Harbor that drew the United States into World War II, the federal government rounded up more than a hundred thousand people of Japanese descent-both immigrants and native-born citizens-and began one of the most horrific mass-incarceration events in US history. The program tore apart Asian American communities, extracted families from their homes, and destroyed livelihoods as it forced Japanese Americans to various "relocation centers" around the country. Two of these concentration camps-the Jerome and Rohwer War Relocation Centers-operated in Arkansas.

Benjamin Calder-Smith traveled around the UK for 18 months meeting and interviewing a broad cross-section of former fighters and boxing personalities.
