Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We Had Won the War (Habíamos ganado la Guerra) is the bestselling 2008 memoir about life in post-Civil War Barcelona by the acclaimed Spanish author Esther Tusquets. Unlike the majority of Spanish postwar narratives that are written from the perspective of those who lost the Civil War and suffered under the Franco regime, Tusquets' account recreates the era from the standpoint of the «winners.» As the offspring of an upper-middle-class Catalonian family who had sided with Franco in the armed conflict, the young Esther grew up as a privileged member of Spanish society, enjoying all the advantages that birth and material affluence could afford. The child's initial enchantment with the glittering, sheltered world of her kin soon turns to disillusionment, as she discerns the fault lines running through the larger social landscape, and senses the hypocrisy and cruelty of her parents' inbred clan. She finds in the inner world of literature and of the imagination compensation for a disturbing outer reality. As the growing girl struggles to find her own way, she experiments with political and religious movements that aim to forge a more just society. Her quest eventually leads to the rejection of all absolutist forms of thought and action, and to the assumption of her life's calling as a publisher and writer. The book paints a vivid picture of life during the early Franco years, while offering an intimate, revealing look at the childhood and adolescence of one of Spain's most remarkable contemporary authors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Israel/Palestine, Reinhart traces the development of the Security Barrier and Israel’s new doctrine of "disengagement," launched in response to a looming Palestinian-majority population. Examining the official record of recent diplomacy, including United States–brokered accords and talks at Camp David, Oslo, and Taba, Reinhart explores the fundamental power imbalances between the negotiating parties and identifies Israel’s strategy of creating facts on the ground to define and complicate the terms of any future settlement. In this indispensable primer, Reinhart’s searing insight illuminates the current conflict and suggests a path toward change.

Download or read book La guerra una introducci n written by Barthélémy Courmont and published by Alianza Editorial Sa. This book was released on 2010-02 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: «La guerra es la oposición, frontal o no, de al menos dos beligerantes, de fuerza igual o asimétrica, que desemboca en enfrentamientos que pueden revestir distintas formas, con el objetivo, según Carl von Clausewitz, de “obligar al adversario a acatar nuestra voluntad”.» Así define BARTHÉLÉMY COURMONT un hecho que es consustancial al desarrollo de las civilizaciones humanas. LA GUERRA: UNA INTRODUCCIÓN analiza las diferentes interpretaciones que sobre ella se han hecho, para, a continuación, mostrarnos la evolución histórica en su concepción, la influencia que los avances técnicos han tenido –y tienen– en su desarrollo y la nueva situación creada después de los atentados del 11 de septiembre de 2001. El actual apogeo de la “guerra asimétrica” –es decir, del reconocimiento por parte de un adversario de la superioridad de su rival, al cual se pretende dañar, sin limitación en el tiempo ni en los medios a emplear–, el papel de Estados Unidos como única superpotencia y la incógnita que plantea una China emergente suscita numerosas y nuevas preguntas que ponen de manifiesto cuán lejos estamos del “fin de la guerra” que algunos aventuraron tras la desaparición del bloque soviético.
