Book excerpt: This 92-page full-color 11 x 8.5 landscape format softcover has over 170 photos,120 of them featuring the GN line, most of which have never been published before.The book is a compilation of my photographs of Great Northern and Burlington Northern operationsin Spokane's Inland Empire from the 1960s to 1980s, with occasional foraysaround the Western United States prior to the 1990s. In 1967, the Great Northern announced a new corporate makeover to "Big Sky Blue."It was the 1960s and bright colors were "in." To me "Blue" was more interestingthan NP "Black." Even today, the debate continues among railfans as to whichrailroad had the "best" paint schemes, Northern Pacific or Great Northern.In any case, I became a Great Northern fan. At first I wanted to record an image of every GN locomotive I could find for modeling, but then as time marched on toward the Burlington Northern merger,I felt the need to document everything Great Northern before it was gone. On pages 58 and 59, trace the changes on the "Then and Now" Riverview/Fisher River.First scenes, without track prior to opening of the Flathead Tunnel-Libby Dam Relocation in 1970 and then later 30-years later with trains. You'll also see images of the very last Burlington Northern train in Scotia Canyon before abandonment in April 1984. Visit the last days of the Great Northern/Burlington Northern grade above Riverside Park west of Fort Wright before abandonment circa 1972.Here's what one reviewer states, "What a great piece of work, I have givenyour book a heads up with the GOAT [an online discussion] group"

Download or read book The 1929 Sino Soviet War written by Michael Walker and published by University Press of Kansas. This book was released on 2021-02-01 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For seven weeks in 1929, the Republic of China and the Soviet Union battled in Manchuria over control of the Chinese Eastern Railroad. It was the largest military clash between China and a Western power ever fought on Chinese soil, involving more that a quarter million combatants. Michael M. Walker's The 1929 Sino-Soviet War is the first full account of what UPI's Moscow correspondent called "the war nobody knew"—a "limited modern war" that destabilized the region's balance of power, altered East Asian history, and sent grim reverberations through a global community giving lip service to demilitarizing in the wake of World War I. Walker locates the roots of the conflict in miscalculations by Chiang Kai-shek and Chang Hsueh-liang about the Soviets' political and military power—flawed assessments that prompted China's attempt to reassert full authority over the CER. The Soviets, on the other hand, were dominated by a Stalin eager to flex some military muscle and thoroughly convinced that war would win much more than petty negotiations. This was in fact, Walker shows, a watershed moment for Stalin, his regime, and his still young and untested military, disproving the assumption that the Red Army was incapable of fighting a modern war. By contrast, the outcome revealed how unprepared the Chinese military forces were to fight either the Red Army or the Imperial Japanese Army, their other primary regional competitor. And yet, while the Chinese commanders proved weak, Walker sees in the toughness of the overmatched infantry a hint of the rising nationalism that would transform China's troops from a mercenary army into a formidable professional force, with powerful implications for an overconfident Japanese Imperial Army in 1937. Using Russian, Chinese, and Japanese sources, as well as declassified US military reports, Walker deftly details the war from its onset through major military operations to its aftermath, giving the first clear and complete account of a little known but profoundly consequential clash of great powers between the World Wars.

Download or read book Making It in America written by Elliott Robert Barkan and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2001-05-01 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of over 400 biographies of eminent ethnic Americans celebrates a wide array of inspiring individuals and their contributions to U.S. history. The stories of these 400 eminent ethnic Americans are a testimony to the enduring power of the American dream. These men and women, from 90 different ethnic groups, certainly faced unequal access to opportunities. Yet they all became renowned artists, writers, political and religious leaders, scientists, and athletes. Kahlil Gibran, Daniel Inouye, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Thurgood Marshall, Madeleine Albright, and many others are living proof that the land of opportunity sometimes lives up to its name. Alongside these success stories, as historian Elliot R. Barkan notes in his introduction to this volume, there have been many failures and many immigrants who did not stay in the United States. Nevertheless, the stories of these trailblazers, visionaries, and champions portray the breadth of possibilities, from organizing a nascent community to winning the Nobel prize. They also provide irrefutable evidence that no single generation and no single cultural heritage can claim credit for what America is.
