Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Best described as an Americana Fantasy, HARRY'S DOOR is set amidst the dusty back roads of 1933 Nebraska during The Great Depression. This touching, yet humorous tale involves a down-and-out young man named Harry Middleman, who can't seem to let the spirit of his deceased wife Bethany go and just move on with his life without her. Anytime he sets up their old house door he keeps stored in the back of his vintage truck, Beth walks right through it, always encouraging him to never give up on his big dream of starting his own irrigation business, even though the Midwest has been plagued with drought for several months. This of course complicates Beth's main mission to wean Harry off of her so she can go on up to Heaven where she belongs, but Harry is having none of it. He still needs his beloved Beth more than life itself and will never be ready to let go of her, no matter how hard she tries to convince him otherwise. Beth soon devises a clever master plan to utilize an old ghost town to her advantage by filing it up with many strange and wonderful characters who will be essential to Harry's future success and happiness, including an ornery fourteen-year-old tomboy named Savanna, who can outwit and out-swing anyone twice her age. Things get further complicated when a mysterious angel with dove-like wings appears, clearly harboring a hidden agenda of her own. Strange thing is, the angel looks an awful lot like Beth, but she doesn't speak at all, and can only communicate with crude wall drawings that come to life. When Harry's enchanted door suddenly closes on its own and locks the angel out of Heaven, it only frustrates him even further as to what his is supposed to do here to make this dire situation right. Add in one simpleton conman named Nigel, who attempts to use the angel's healing powers to his advantage, and one angry schoolteacher named Mrs. Langley, who believes the angel is here to initiate the Apocalypse, and Harry is left scratching his foggy head in more ways than one. Will poor Harry figure out how to unlock his stubborn door and send the angel on home where she belongs, and will he also find the courage to let Beth's spirit go in the process? Experience the amazing wonders of HARRY'S DOOR to find out.

Download or read book Martial Culture Silver Screen written by Matthew Christopher Hulbert and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2020-11-04 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Martial Culture, Silver Screen analyzes war movies, one of the most popular genres in American cinema, for what they reveal about the narratives and ideologies that shape U.S. national identity. Edited by Matthew Christopher Hulbert and Matthew E. Stanley, this volume explores the extent to which the motion picture industry, particularly Hollywood, has played an outsized role in the construction and evolution of American self-definition. Moving chronologically, eleven essays highlight cinematic versions of military and cultural conflicts spanning from the American Revolution to the War on Terror. Each focuses on a selection of films about a specific war or historical period, often foregrounding recent productions that remain understudied in the critical literature on cinema, history, and cultural memory. Scrutinizing cinema through the lens of nationalism and its “invention of tradition,” Martial Culture, Silver Screen considers how movies possess the power to frame ideologies, provide social coherence, betray collective neuroses and fears, construct narratives of victimhood or heroism, forge communities of remembrance, and cement tradition and convention. Hollywood war films routinely present broad, identifiable narratives—such as that of the rugged pioneer or the “good war”—through which filmmakers invent representations of the past, establishing narratives that advance discrete social and political functions in the present. As a result, cinematic versions of wartime conflicts condition and reinforce popular understandings of American national character as it relates to violence, individualism, democracy, militarism, capitalism, masculinity, race, class, and empire. Approaching war movies as identity-forging apparatuses and tools of social power, Martial Culture, Silver Screen lays bare how cinematic versions of warfare have helped define for audiences what it means to be American.
Download or read book Harry S Truman written by Robert H. Ferrell and published by University of Missouri Press. This book was released on 2013-07-22 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few U.S. presidents have captured the imagination of the American people as has Harry S. Truman, “the man from Missouri.” In this major new biography, Robert H. Ferrell, widely regarded as an authority on the thirty-third president, challenges the popular characterization of Truman as a man who rarely sought the offices he received, revealing instead a man who—with modesty, commitment to service, and basic honesty—moved with method and system toward the presidency. Truman was ambitious in the best sense of the word. His powerful commitment to service was accompanied by a remarkable shrewdness and an exceptional ability to judge people. He regarded himself as a consummate politician, a designation of which he was proud. While in Washington, he never succumbed to the “Potomac fever” that swelled the heads of so many officials in that city. A scrupulously honest man, Truman exhibited only one lapse when, at the beginning of 1941, he padded his Senate payroll by adding his wife and later his sister. From his early years on the family farm through his pivotal decision to use the atomic bomb in World War II, Truman’s life was filled with fascinating events. Ferrell’s exhaustive research offers new perspectives on many key episodes in Truman’s career, including his first Senate term and the circumstances surrounding the Truman Doctrine and the Marshall Plan. In addition, Ferrell taps many little-known sources to relate the intriguing story of the machinations by which Truman gained the vice presidential nomination in 1944, a position which put him a heartbeat away from the presidency. No other historian has ever demonstrated such command over the vast amounts of material that Robert Ferrell brings to bear on the unforgettable story of Truman’s life. Based upon years of research in the Truman Library and the study of many never-before-used primary sources, Harry S. Truman is destined to become the authoritative account of the nation’s favorite president.

Download or read book Harry S Truman and the Cold War Revisionists written by Robert H. Ferrell and published by University of Missouri Press. This book was released on 2006-05-01 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of revising what is known of the past constitutes an essential procedure in historical scholarship, but revisionists are often hasty and argumentative in their judgments. Such, argues Robert H. Ferrell, has been the case with assessments of the presidency of Harry S. Truman, who was targeted by historians and political scientists in the 1960s and ’70s for numerous failings in both domestic and foreign policy, including launching the cold war—perceptions that persist to the present day. Widely acknowledged as today’s foremost Truman scholar, Ferrell turns the tables on the revisionists in this collection of classic essays. He goes below the surface appearances of history to examine how situations actually developed and how Truman performed sensibly—even courageously—in the face of unforeseen crises. While some revisionists see Truman as consumed by a blind hatred of the Soviet Union and adopting an unrestrainedly militant stance, Ferrell convincingly shows that Truman wished to get along with the Soviets and was often bewildered by their actions. He interprets policies such as the Truman Doctrine, the Marshall Plan, and support for NATO as prudent responses to perceived threats and credits the Truman administration for the ways in which it dealt with unprecedented problems. What emerges most vividly from Ferrell’s essays is a sense of how weak a hand the United States held from 1945 to1950, with its conventional forces depleted by the return of veterans to civil pursuits after the war and with its capacity for delivery of nuclear weapons in a sorry state. He shows that Truman regarded the atomic bomb as a weapon of last resort, not an instrument of policy, and that he took America into a war in Korea for the good of the United States and its allies. Although Truman has been vindicated on many of these issues, there still remains a lingering controversy over the use of atomic weapons in Japan—a decision that Ferrell argues is understandable in light of what Truman faced at the start of his presidency. Ferrell argues that the revisionists who attacked Truman understood neither the times nor the man—one of the most clearheaded, farsighted presidents ever to occupy the Oval Office. Harry S. Truman and the Cold War Revisionists shows us that Truman’s was indeed a remarkable presidency, as it cautions historians against too quickly appraising the very recent past.
