It is indisputable that the loss of life attributed to the sinking of Indianapolis could have been mitigated had the proper individuals in the Navy realized sooner that the ship was overdue. Unfortunately, this was not the case. The United States Navy did, however, learn from this disaster and took immediate steps to ensure that no Sailor or Marine would again face a similar situation. Escort requirements were stiffened, lifesaving equipment improved, and more rigid movement reporting procedures put in place. The story of Indianapolis continues to serve as a point of departure for learning, as evidenced by this volume. Actions of captain and crew of Indianapolis throughout their ordeal, and in the aftermath, stand as exemplars of the highest traditions and honor of the United States Navy.

Free Download John Bellamy Foster, Robert W. McChesney, "Trump in the White House: Tragedy and Farce"
English | 2017 | pages: 144 | ISBN: 1583676813, 1583676805 | EPUB | 1,4 mb
Remember that metaphor about the frog that slowly cooks to death in the pot of increasingly warm water? Leftists have used it for years to describe how people can accept dwindling health care, fading job opportunities, eroding racial and gender equality-as long as the loss occurs gradually. Now, with Donald Trump having slouched off to Washington, most of the mainstream media are working overtime to convince us that we can still stand the heat. Leave it to John Bellamy Foster, one of the world’s outstanding radical scholars, to expose Trump for who and what he is: a neo-fascist. Just at the boiling point, Foster offers us cool logic to comprehend the system that created Trump’s moral and political emergency-and to resist it.

Free Download Bernard Avishai, "The Tragedy of Zionism: How Its Revolutionary Past Haunts Israeli Democracy"
English | ISBN: 1581152582 | 2002 | 400 pages | PDF | 53 MB
This original and acclaimed book explores how the impetus to settle in the "Whole" Land of Israel after 1967 derived from unexamined Zionist commitments which, though perhaps defensible in the 1930s, have become increasingly dangerous for Israeli democracy since the 1980s. It is also a chronicle of the unexpected, tragic ways the heroic Zionist theories and institutions have come to threaten Israeli democracy and to burden relations with Palestinians since the Six Day War.
