Download or read book The Anguish of Surrender written by Ulrich A. Straus and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2011-10-01 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On December 6, 1941, Ensign Kazuo Sakamaki was one of a handful of men selected to skipper midget subs on a suicide mission to breach Pearl Harbor’s defenses. When his equipment malfunctioned, he couldn’t find the entrance to the harbor. He hit several reefs, eventually splitting the sub, and swam to shore some miles from Pearl Harbor. In the early dawn of December 8, he was picked up on the beach by two Japanese American MPs on patrol. Sakamaki became Prisoner No. 1 of the Pacific War. Japan’s no-surrender policy did not permit becoming a POW. Sakamaki and his fellow soldiers and sailors had been indoctrinated to choose between victory and a heroic death. While his comrades had perished, he had survived. By becoming a prisoner of war, Sakamaki believed he had brought shame and dishonor on himself, his family, his community, and his nation, in effect relinquishing his citizenship. Sakamaki fell into despair and, like so many Japanese POWs, begged his captors to kill him. Based on the author’s interviews with dozens of former Japanese POWs along with memoirs only recently coming to light, The Anguish of Surrender tells one of the great unknown stories of World War II. Beginning with an examination of Japan’s prewar ultranationalist climate and the harsh code that precluded the possibility of capture, the author investigates the circumstances of surrender and capture of men like Sakamaki and their experiences in POW camps. Many POWs, ill and starving after days wandering in the jungles or hiding out in caves, were astonished at the superior quality of food and medical treatment they received. Contrary to expectations, most Japanese POWs, psychologically unprepared to deal with interrogations, provided information to their captors. Trained Allied linguists, especially Japanese Americans, learned how to extract intelligence by treating the POWs humanely. Allied intelligence personnel took advantage of lax Japanese security precautions to gain extensive information from captured documents. A few POWs, recognizing Japan’s certain defeat, even assisted the Allied war effort to shorten the war. Far larger numbers staged uprisings in an effort to commit suicide. Most sought to survive, suffered mental anguish, and feared what awaited them in their homeland. These deeply human stories follow Japanese prisoners through their camp experiences to their return to their welcoming families and reintegration into postwar society. These stories are told here for the first time in English.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vicky Reicks' son, Adam Samec, committed suicide in 2001 when he was 20 years old. After his death, she discovered, through his many writings and art pieces, that he'd taken his life because of the years of abuse he suffered silently through. Although Adam never clearly named his abuser, Vicky feels certain the local parish priest was the one who violated her son. Silent Anguish: The Adam Samec Story is a tribute to Adam and all that he suffered. It is the hope that his writings and art work will foster understanding for families who have been victims of clergy-perpetrated sexual abuse and bring awareness to this horrific crime.

Download or read book Anguish written by Max Dorra and published by Max Milo. This book was released on 2023-07-04 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The words of others, as an unpleasant remark ("You’re not hardworking") or a medical diagnosis ("You’re bipolar"), have the power to plunge us into anguish whenever they show an image of ourselves that we do not recognize: "In a world where words become viruses, certain sentences can kill." The reductive identity that is thus assigned to us creates the illusion that our life can be summed up by these few words, allowing others to exercise the tyrannical power of anxiety over us. Max Dorra explains how this illusion, created temporarily by the gaze of others, is just a montage-effect of our memory—as in a movie—and that it is enough to understand the mechanisms of this illusion in order to free ourselves from it: "To become aware of the fact that one is held captive by a montage is to be freed from a false confinement." In virtuosic and sensitive language ("The affects—shapeless and promising, wonderful clouds"), the author journeys through music, painting and cinema, appealing to sociology, psychoanalysis and philosophy, while remaining firmly rooted in reality: "There are more things in a hospital elevator than in all of philosophy." He shows us that trusting our imagination allows us to tame anxiety without fearing it, and understanding that "another montage is possible" allows us to go towards the other without losing ourselves. Max Dorra is a professor at the Faculty of Medicine in Paris Ouest. His specialty is internal medicine, a discipline that aims at a comprehensive understanding of patients: medical, psychological, social. He believes that there is more philosophy in a hospital corridor than in books. Author of nonfiction and fiction, Max Dorra received the Psyche Prize in 2001 for his book Heidegger, Primo Levi et le séquoia. La double inconscience. (Gallimard). He has also published La Syncope de Champollion, entre les images et les mots (Gallimard 2003), Quelle petite phrase bouleversante au coeur d'un être? (Gallimard 2005), Lutte des rêves et interprétation des classes (L'Olivier 2013).

Book excerpt: Director Shion Sono's loose adaptation of the Japanese manga of the same name, follows two teenagers' attempts to survive the aftermath of Japan's 2011 tsunami. Abandoned by his mother, 14-year-old Sumida (Shota Sometani) lives in a boathouse beside a lake and dreams of living a normal life free from his father (Ken Mitsuishi)'s casual beatings. Sharing his dreams of normality is his classmate Chazawa (Fumi Nikaidô), who has a crush on Sumida, even though her feelings are not reciprocated. As the pair try to come to terms with their seemingly bleak futures, events come to a head when Sumida's father taunts him to excess, resulting in a fatally violent altercation. With his dreams now dashed, but eager to make amends to society for his actions, Sumida takes to the streets as a self-styled vigilante, dispensing 'justice' with the aid of a kitchen knife.
