Download or read book Farming Fighting and Family written by Miranda McCormick and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2015-10-05 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Wiltshire farmer/author/broadcaster Arthur (A.G.) Street was one of the leading voices of British agriculture during WW2. His daughter Pamela – herself an aspiring writer - was eighteen when war broke out. Her contributions to the war effort included working on her father’s farm, nursing in the local military hospital, and serving in the ATS. Her future husband, David McCormick, served with the 4th RHA in North Africa. Captured in December 1941, he endured the remainder of the war in prison camps in Italy and Germany.Miranda McCormick has skilfully woven together her forebears’ very differing wartime experiences. Of specific interest to social, military and agricultural historians, for the general reader this is also an intensely human – at times heart-rending – story of love, duty, separation, temptation, guilt and eventual reunion. Pamela fell in love with an American pilot – but she remained true to David. The strain was so much that she was invalided out of the ATS.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Although Mexican migrant workers have toiled in the fields of the Pacific Northwest since the turn of the century, and although they comprise the largest work force in the region’s agriculture today, they have been virtually invisible in the region’s written labor history. Erasmo Gamboa’s study of the bracero program during World War II is an important beginning, describing and documenting the labor history of Mexican and Chicano workers in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho and contributing to our knowledge of farm labor.”—Oregon Historical Quarterly

Download or read book Wartime Farm written by Peter Ginn and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2012-09-24 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During World War Two Britain had to look to the land to provide the produce it had previously shipped in from abroad, meaning huge changes on both the agricultural and domestic scenes. Accompanying an 8-part BBC series and written by the three presenters who spend a year living on a reconstructed farm from the era, Wartime Farm sets these changes within a historical context and looks at the day-to-day life of that time. Exploring a fascinating chapter in Britain's recent history, we see how our predecessors lived and thrived in difficult conditions with extreme frugality and ingenuity. From growing your own vegetables and keeping chickens in the back yard, to having to 'make do and mend', many of the challenges faced by wartime Britons have resonance today. Fascinating historical detail and atmospheric story-telling make this a truly compelling read.
Download or read book The Front Line of Freedom written by Brian Short and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, drawing together the work of 15 scholars, is the first attempt to discover what really happened during the war in British agriculture. It shows just how closely directed agriculture and individual farmers were in wartime, and the determination with which uncooperative or 'failing' farmers might be dispossessed. It describes the tensions between agriculture and the military, showing how the ploughing up campaign added land to the national farm but just at the time when the military were taking it for airfields and training grounds. This revelatory book challenges received wisdom about farming in wartime. It is essential reading for all interested in the evolution of twentieth-century farming and in the historical origins of farming's present predicament.

Download or read book Chippewa Chief in World War II written by Donald J. Norton and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2001-07-01 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the true story of Oliver Bullard Rasmussen, a U.S. Navy aircrewman who avoided capture after his plane crashed in Japan on July 14, 1945, leaving his pilot dead and him seriously wounded. He dodged the Japanese on Hokkaido for 68 days until he saw his first fellow American. Rasmussen healed himself, relying on his Chippewa knowledge of how to survive in the wild and staying alive by raiding farms at night. The account is drawn from tapes of interviews with Rasmussen about his ordeal and personal records and other material from his family. Beginning with Rasmussen’s life as a young boy growing up on a poverty-stricken Chippewa reservation in northern Wisconsin, the book then details at length Rasmussen’s almost unbelievable ordeal. Also included is information on his top-secret role in the Navy’s only nuclear weapons squadron.
Download or read book Growing Up Female in Nazi Germany written by Dagmar Reese and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2006-06-26 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing Up Female in Nazi Germany explores the world of the Bund Deutscher Mädel (BDM), the female section within the Hitler Youth that included almost all German girls aged 10 to 14. The BDM is often enveloped in myths; German girls were brought up to be the compliant handmaidens of National Socialism, their mental horizon restricted to the "three Ks" of Kinder, Küche, Kirche (children, kitchen, and church). Dagmar Reese, however, depicts another picture of life in the BDM. She explores how and in what way the National Socialists were successful in linking up with the interests of contemporary girls and young women and providing them a social life of their own. The girls in the BDM found latitude for their own development while taking on responsibilities that integrated them within the folds of the National Socialist state. "At last available in English, this pioneering study provides fresh insights into the ways in which the Nazi regime changed young 'Aryan' women's lives through appeals to female self-esteem that were not obviously defined by Nazi ideology, but drove a wedge between parents and children. Thoughtful analysis of detailed interviews reveals the day-to-day functioning of the Third Reich in different social milieus and its impact on women's lives beyond 1945. A must-read for anyone interested in the gendered dynamics of Nazi modernity and the lack of sustained opposition to National Socialism." --Uta Poiger, University of Washington "In this highly readable translation, Reese provocatively identifies Nazi girls league members' surprisingly positive memories and reveals significant implications for the functioning of Nazi society. Reaching across disciplines, this work is for experts and for the classroom alike." --Belinda Davis, Rutgers University Dagmar Reese is The Moses Mendelssohn Zentrum Potsdam researcher on the DFG-project "Georg Simmels Geschlechtertheorien im ‚fin de siecle' Berlin", 2004 William Templer is a widely published translator from German and Hebrew and is on the staff of Rajamangala University of Technology Srivijaya.
