Download or read book Celebration of Victory V E Day 1945 written by Richard Michael Connaughton and published by Potomac Books Incorporated. This book was released on 1995 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this evocative and simply written book, Richard Connaughton briefly describes the causes and conduct of the war and gives us a moving account of V-E Day itself. Then, with anecdotes and with the help of three famous men who fought in the war and who all went on to hold high political office, including Defence, he analyses the vision of the future people had in 1945 and the extent to which that vision was subsequently fulfilled. Those three men are now Lords Carrington, Healey and Pym. Written to coincide with the 50th anniversary of V-E Day, and yet with a relevance far beyond that one occasion, this is not only a book of words, but also one of pictures. This is the perfect book with which to remember the end of the war in Europe.

Book excerpt: As the boy prince turns into the man who would be king, interest in Prince William is at an unprecedented height in 2003, the year of his twenty-first birthday.

This pictorial celebration features hundreds of photographs of William at work and at play by Tim Graham, the foremost photographer in this field. These beautiful photographs are accompanied by a unique insight into William's life by Peter Archer, the only journalist to interview the prince and be accredited to Buckingham Palace and St James's Palace.

Download or read book War and Media written by Andrew Hoskins and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-04-23 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The trinity of government, military and publics has been drawn together into immediate and unpredictable relationships in a "new media ecology" that has ushered in new asymmetries in the waging of war and terror. To help us understand these new relationships, Andrew Hoskins and Ben O'Loughlin here provide a timely, comprehensive and highly readable survey of the field of war and media. War is diffused through a complex mesh of our everyday media. Paradoxically, this both facilitates and contains the presence and power of enemies near and far. The conventions of so-called traditional warfare have been splintered by the availability and connectivity of the principal locus of war today: the electronic and digital media. Hoskins and O'Loughlin identify and illuminate the conditions of what they term "diffused war" and the new challenges it raises for the actors who wage and counter warfare, for their agents and mechanisms of the new media and for mass publics. This book offers an invaluable review of the key literature and presents a fresh approach to the understanding of the dynamic relationships between war and media. It will be welcomed by a broad range of students taking courses on war and media and related modules, especially in media, communication and cultural studies, politics and international relations, sociology, journalism, and security studies.

Download or read book Memory Identity and Commemorations of World War II written by Daqing Yang and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2018-04-11 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do some governments and societies attach great significance to a particular anniversary year whereas others seem less inclined to do so? What motivates the orchestration of elaborate commemorative activities in some countries? What are they supposed to accomplish, for both domestic and international audience? In what ways do commemorations in Asia Pacific fit into the global memory culture of war commemoration? In what ways are these commemorations intertwined with current international politics? This book presents the first large-scale analysis of how countries in the Asia Pacific and beyond commemorated the seventieth anniversaries of the end of World War II. Consisting of in-depth case studies of China, Taiwan, Korea, Japan, Singapore, the Philippines, United States, Russia, and Germany, this unique collective effort demonstrates how memories of the past as reflected in public commemorations and contemporary politics—both internal and international—profoundly affect each other.
