Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Irish Times bestseller 'A gripping tale of savagery and courage' Noam Chomsky 'Fascinating and captivating' Irish Times 'A beautiful book... Full of pain and longing but also joy, adventure, and excitement' Janine di Giovanni 'A superb account of the life and work of the best reporter I have ever known' Patrick Cockburn When Lara Marlowe met Robert Fisk in 1983 in Damascus, he was already a famous war correspondent. She was a young American reporter who would become a renowned journalist in her own right. For the next twenty years, they were lovers, husband and wife and friends, occasionally angry and estranged from one another, but ultimately reconciled. They learned from each other and from the people in the ruined world they reported from: Lebanon, torn apart by a vicious civil war as well as Israeli and Syrian occupations; Iran, where they were the only journalists to interview the Middle East's chief hostage-taker and dispatcher of suicide bombers; the Islamist revolt that claimed up to 200,000 lives in Algeria; the disintegration of former Yugoslavia and two US-led wars on Iraq. This is at once a portrait of a remarkable man, the story of a Middle East broken by its own divisions and outside powers, and a moving account of a relationship in dark times.

Download or read book LOVE IN WAR TIME written by PEDRO ARTURO ROJAS ARENAS and published by PEDRO ARTURO ROJAS ARENAS . This book was released on 2023-07-14 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is a reading of the Colombian and South American reality, with its clashes over the application of methods and practices based on essentially materialist ideologies, which occurred in the 50s, 60s and 70s, with the author Pedro Arturo Arenas experiencing many of the social challenges, concepts and spirituality of that time. “Love in times of war” offers a panoramic photograph of the transformations that took place in Latin America, especially from the end of the 1950s onwards, a period of great social changes and full of illusions, many of which ended up dragging entire populations into especially youth, to embark on a quest for collective justice, but which in the end led to immense frustrations and tragic results in some countries. The unrestricted exercise of doctrines and dogmas, both on the left and on the right, finally produced an increase in social and economic disparities evident in many parts, stimulating and intensifying class struggles, such as the emergence of resistance movements. peasant and working class, urban guerrillas and other forms of violence, without achieving their goals. Without adequately responding to the aspirations of collective justice, such ideologies deepened the abyss between poverty and wealth, producing even more greater apathy, hopelessness and disillusionment in the hearts of the impoverished and anguished masses in countless parts of the planet. The search for a more just social order continued to lead Pedro Arenas through tortuous paths and intellectual clashes until, after a long and arduous journey, he found himself disenchanted with the political practice of members of supposed socialist organizations, realizing then the limitations of ethical and spiritual nature of the cited movements, especially in the daily interrelationships of the members of these organizations that, in turn, ignored or despised the evident religiosity of the Colombian peasants. With the new possibilities, a new world opened before his eyes, when he reunited with his old friend Gabriel Branco, through whom he learned about the Bahá'í teachings. Upon investigating the subject more deeply, he was led to conclude that such teachings constituted an incomparable social and spiritual project of a magnitude never before imagined. Leaving behind his past as a union and political activist, Pedro Arturo was now seeking new horizons of understanding, reaching the conclusion that social and political transformations are incomplete, unless they advance concomitantly with a deep spiritual transformation, and that the way to establish a new order in human affairs requires the use of new means and methods. From those new teachings emerged the understanding that conflict resolution can take place through methods of consultation and dialogue; that humanity cannot continue to be sacrificed for the maintenance of certain outdated postulates; that the sole purpose of legal norms as well as political and economic theories is the protection of the common interests of all peoples; that love for the homeland, although legitimate, needs to give way to a broader loyalty, that is, to love for humanity as a whole and, as a consequence, for the concept of world citizenship. That all kinds of prejudices need to be abandoned; that new institutions need to be erected; that the recognition of ethnic, climatic, historical, idiomatic and traditional diversity, thoughts and customs, can help to promote “a broader loyalty, a greater aspiration” that contemplates the uniqueness of humanity; that the maintenance of order can be sustained by a “single code of international law”, by an Executive and a Parliament and a World Supreme Court; that the Cause of Peace can be achieved through a binding treaty, with inviolable and clearly defined clauses, fruit of a broad global consensus. Inspired by these principles and a clear vision, Pedro Arenas rose to promote these teachings, traveling and supporting local Bahá'í activities and institutions in Colombia, where he learned about the exciting experience and fieldwork of the Rural University – FUNDAEC and the Ruhí Institute. Served as a Bahá'í pioneer in El Salvador, Central America, during a period of great uncertainty and conflict between the army and the FFLN; collaborated in activities to promote the Institute of Bahá'í training in indigenous areas on the borders of Brazil, Colombia and Peru, as well as dedicated a brief period of his life in the archipelago of Cape Verde, on the African coast, and later - now back to Brazil – in the region of Northeast, where he established himself as a Bahá'í pioneer – working as a professor linked to the Rio Grande do Norte State University. Finally, Pedro Arturo dedicates the last chapters and some accompanying texts to remembering relatives and friends, both from the oldest and most recent times, dedicating to them lines of recognition, affection and high esteem, all as a reflection and demonstration of his love and ample thanks to the Beloved of his heart, Bahá'u'lláh, for guiding him and enabling him to reach a height of achievement and joy. The whole story is told with the enthusiasm of one who was an active protagonist and is testimony to the personal transformations experienced by the author under the influence of Bahá'u'lláh's Revelation. This young Colombian seeker, like many others of his age and generation, was galvanized by the overwhelming strength and foresight of the Bahá'í teachings and still continues untiring in his efforts in the challenging task of contributing – each in a humble way and according to his abilities – in the construction of that new order advocated by Bahá’u’lláh.

Download or read book Of Love and War written by Angela Wanhalla and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2023-12 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1942 and 1945 more than two million servicemen occupied the southern Pacific theater, the majority of whom were Americans in service with the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines. During the occupation, American servicemen married approximately 1,800 women from New Zealand and the island Pacific, creating legal bonds through marriage and through children. Additionally, American servicemen fathered an estimated four thousand nonmarital children with Indigenous women in the South Pacific Command Area. In Of Love and War Angela Wanhalla details the intimate relationships forged during wartime between women and U.S. servicemen stationed in the South Pacific, traces the fate of wartime marriages, and addresses consequences for the women and children left behind. Paying particular attention to the experiences of women in New Zealand and in the island Pacific—including Tonga, Fiji, Samoa, and the Cook Islands—Of Love and War aims to illuminate the impact of global war on these women, their families, and Pacific societies. Wanhalla argues that Pacific war brides are an important though largely neglected cohort whose experiences of U.S. military occupation expand our understanding of global war. By examining the effects of American law on the marital opportunities of couples, their ability to reunite in the immediate postwar years, and the citizenship status of any children born of wartime relationships, Wanhalla makes a significant contribution to a flourishing scholarship concerned with the intersections between race, gender, sexuality, and militarization in the World War II era.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Service of Love in War Time: American Friends Relief, Work in Europe, 1917-1919 This book does not profess to be a history of the work of relief and reconstruction which Friends have done in France and Russia and in other countries since the fateful autumn of 1914. Only one who has been in the thick of the work on the field can write the final, intimate history of any one of the major relief undertakings of Friends. And as the work since 1917 has been a joint endeavor of English and American Friends the complete history of it must be composite, i.e. written by both English and Americans. It is to be hoped that persons of leisure will be found in the not distant future who can tell with sufficient detail the interesting story of the labors of this large band of volunteers who have rebuilt homes, revived agriculture, restored the spirits of depressed refugees, saved the lives of many children and reconstructed extensive areas of the desolated war-zones, who have gone out with living faith and with efficient relief into some of the darkest regions of the suffering world, both in war-time and in the no less appalling period which has followed the armistice. My attempt is much more modest. I am merely endeavoring here to interpret the effort which American Friends have made to express their spirit of human love to a part of the world - an innocent part - caught in the awful tangle of the tragedy.

Download or read book Max Hirshfeld Sweet Noise written by Max Hirshfeld and published by Damiani Limited. This book was released on 2019-10-03 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sweet Noise. Love in Wartime is a book of photographs and words about the Holocaust, a subject difficult to grasp and almost impossible to document. It is also a story of love in a time of war, told in a clear voice using compelling black-and-white photographs and simple, evocative language to build a framework around this pivotal moment in history. Hirshfeld's parents, Polish Jews who survived Auschwitz, raised him in a small city in Alabama, where life in the South of the 1950s and 1960s was quiet and, on the surface, mostly idyllic. But lurking under the surface was a remarkable yet tension-filled history that fully revealed itself only after he matured and had a family of his own. He knew the outer perimeters of his parent's story: the challenges of being Jewish in a place that increasingly alienated them, their individual trajectories as they moved through adulthood and their chance meeting in a Nazi-created ghetto where they fell in love. But it took a trip to Poland with his mother in 1993 (and the discovery in 2005 of hundreds of post-war letters between his parents) to more fully acquaint me with the depths of their tragedies and the exceptional love story that began in 1943, sustaining them through the war. Though Sweet Noise features events that began seventy-five years ago, the material is eerily timely. As Eastern Europe grapples with this horrific legacy, and many countries are reassessing their responses to mass immigration, those in a position to bear witness need a supportive environment wherein art and language serve to remind the world what can occur when hatred and the concept of ethnic cleansing are given free rein.
