Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Partridge, 1941: Published by the Students of Duxbury High School, Duxbury, Massachusetts There are good points on both sides but let us not pick sides as we did in the elec tion. Democrats or Republicans, we are Americans; Willkie or Roosevelt are both Americans. So we must help in this situa tion, as Americans. As I said before, there are points which we must consider before we make up our minds. At the time of the World War, the people of our country did not want war. So President Wilson worked day and night trying to keep the United States out of war; but then public opinion changed, and the citizens of our country wanted war. The President, against his will, asked Congress to declare war. Now in 1940, the very same thing has happened. We, in May, did not want war and passed a law stating that our country could not send war machinery to any other country. Now we want more and more machinery for Great Britain and for ourselves.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Partridge: June 1941 How many of us here tonight, when reading our daily newspaper have not wondered how much was the truth and how much should be taken with the proverbial grain of sa.t? There is nothing wrong with questioning what we read in our news papers. As Americans we have that privilege, and we show intelligence if we try to find out facts that Will explain more effectively that which we are curious about.

Download or read book Hitler in Cartoons written by Tony Husband and published by Arcturus Publishing. This book was released on 2017-09-21 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few humans in history have been satirized as remorselessly as Adolf Hitler. It was easy to do. You could "Hitlerize" almost anything by adding a cow's lick hairstyle and a toothbrush mustache. While his own side, the Nazis, portrayed him as a demigod, the perfect leader, and father of the nation, his enemies took it in the other direction, drawing him as a knock-kneed simpleton, a butcher with bloodied hands, an evil ghoul spewed up by the Abyss, and even an egg that had cracked. Hitler in Cartoons is the illustrated biography of a megalomaniac and control freak. Starting with his rise in the 1920s and ending with his fall in 1945, this book gives you Hitler in the raw as seen through the eyes of some of the world's greatest cartoonists, including Herb Block, D. R. Fitzpatrick, Ding Darling, E. H. Shepard, Bernard Partridge, Leslie Illingworth, and many others. The brilliant images they produced will haunt you as well as make you laugh.

Download or read book British Destroyers 1939 45 written by Angus Konstam and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the possibility of war loomed in the 1930s, the British Admiralty looked to update their fleet of destroyers to compete with the new ships being built by Germany and Japan, resulting in the commissioning of the powerful Tribal-class. These were followed by the designing of the first of several slightly smaller ships, which carried fewer guns than the Tribals, but were armed with a greatly enlarged suite of torpedoes. The first of these, the 'J/K/M class' was followed by a number of wartime variants, with slight changes to their weaponry to suit different wartime roles. Designed to combat enemy surface warships, aircraft and U-boats, the British built these destroyers to face off against anything the enemy could throw at them. Using a collection of contemporary photographs and beautiful colour artwork, this is a fascinating new study of the ships that formed the backbone of the Royal Navy during World War II.

Download or read book Jerusalem written by Jason Whittaker and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-06-16 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stanzas beginning, 'And did those feet' are among the most famous works written by the Romantic poet and artist, William Blake. Set to music by Hubert Parry in 1916 and renamed, 'Jerusalem', this hymn has become an emblem of Englishness in the past century, and is regularly invoked at sporting events, public and private ceremonies, and, of course, as part of Last Night of the Proms. Yet when Blake first engraved his lines in his epic work, Milton a Poem, he had been tried for sedition. Likewise, although Parry was commissioned to compose his music as part of the war effort by the organization Fight for Right, he soon removed permission for that group to perform his hymn and instead gave the copyright to the women's suffrage movement. 'Jerusalem', then, is a much more contested vision of England's green and pleasant land than is often assumed. This book traces the history of the poem and the music from Blake's original verses, written in Felpham, via the turmoil of the First and Second World Wars, its recording history in the late twentieth century, and its use in political controversies such as the 2016 Brexit vote. An anthem for both the left and the right, Blake's own vision of what it meant to build Jerusalem in England is both strange and familiar to many who invoke it. As such, this book explores the deep complexities of what Englishness means into the twenty-first century.

Download or read book The Reader of Gentlemen s Mail written by David Kahn and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most colorful and controversial figures in American intelligence, Herbert O. Yardley (1889-1958) gave America its best form of information, but his fame rests more on his indiscretions than on his achievements. In this highly readable biography, a premier historian of military intelligence tells Yardley's story and evaluates his impact on the American intelligence community. Yardley established the nation's first codebreaking agency in 1917, and his solutions helped the United States win a major diplomatic victory at the 1921 disarmament conference. But when his unit was closed in 1929 because "gentlemen do not read each other's mail," Yardley wrote a best-selling memoir that introduced-and disclosed-codemaking and codebreaking to the public. David Kahn de-scribes the vicissitudes of Yardley's career, including his work in China and Canada, offers a capsule history of American intelligence up to World War I, and gives a short course in classical codes and ciphers. He debunks the accusations that the publication of Yardley's book caused Japan to change its codes and ciphers and that Yardley traitorously sold his solutions to Japan. And he asserts that Yardley's disclosures not only did not hurt but actually helped American codebreaking during World War II.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is it that makes dictators fear cartoonists? The answer is that they can't stand to be ridiculed. Cartoonists may not be able to topple tyrants or change the course of history, but they can lessen the climate of fear and bring courage to the victims of state bullying with their subversive drawings. In this book, you'll find dictators and wielders of power transformed into midgets, hotel porters, moustachioed horses, even a humble pear. Figures include: • Hitler • Stalin • Mussolini • Franco • Mao Zedong • Robert Mugabe Written by renowned cartoonist and commentator Tony Husband, this shrewd and funny pictorial history traces the fightback led by artists against tyranny and its figureheads.
