Husbands for Peace by Unknown (69 results)

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. A big, ambitious, and enthralling new biography of Dwight D. Eisenhower, full of fascinating details and anecdotes, which places particular emphasis on his brilliant generalship and leadership in World War Two, and provides, with the advantage of hindsight, a far more acute analysis of his character and personality than any that has previously been available, reaching the conclusion that he was perhaps America's greatest general and one of America's best presidents, a man who won the war and thereafter kept the peace. IKE starts with the story of D%u2013Day, the most critical moment in America's history. It was Hitler's last chance to win the war %u2013%u2013 he had the means to destroy the troops on the beaches, but he failed to react quickly enough. The one man who would have reacted quickly and decisively had he been on the spot, Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, was home on leave and didn't arrive back at his headquarters until it was too late. It was Ike's plan, Ike's decision, Ike's responsibility. He alone, among all the Allied generals, could win or lose the war in one day, and knew it. But of course there is more to this book than military history. It is a full biography of a remarkable man, ambitious, a late starter, a brilliant leader of men and perhaps the only American general who could command such a difficult coalition, and win the respect of not only his own soldiers, but also those of Great Britain and France, and lead them to a triumphant victory. It is also the story of a remarkable family. Ike grew up in Abilene, Kansas, and the Eisenhowers were Mennonites, who, like the Amish, were deeply committed pacifists, so it is ironic that he went to West Point and became a general, to his mother's horror. It is as well the portrait of a tumultuous and often difficult marriage, for Mamie was every bit as stubborn and forceful as her husband, and it was by no means the sunny, happy marriage that Republican publicists presented to the public when Ike made his first moves towards the presidency. Indeed, behind Ike's big grin and the easy%u2013going, affable personality he liked to project was a very different man, fiercely ambitious, hot%u2013tempered, shrewd, and tightly wound. He was a perfectionist for whom duty always came first, and a man of immense ability. In 1941 he was a soldier who was still an unknown and recently promoted colonel, and just two years later he was a four%u2013star general who had commanded the biggest and most successful amphibious operation in history %u2013%u2013 TORCH, the Anglo%u2013American invasion of North Africa. He commanded respect and was dealt as an equal with such world figures as President Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Charles De Gaulle. Ex-Libris and is stamped as such.

From Publishers Weekly-The three sisters--Sterling, Roz and Quinn--whose letters constitute this compulsively readable yet often irritating novel, disclose more to the reader than to one another. Maturing in the volatile '60s and '70s, they grow and change remarkably but so credibly that they command respect even when their actions and attitudes are least sympathetic. To compensate for a marriage contracted out of notions of propriety and conformity, Sterling, the eldest, immerses herself in popular causes: spiritualism, consciousness-raising sessions with prisoners, abortion rights and, finally, feminism, which brings her circuitously back to her husband. When faced with the death of her lover and betrayal by his brother, Roz, who alone of the three gives herself unreservedly, founds a wildly successful escort service, based, it is implied, on indiscriminate coupling with her clients. Most problematic because of her ambition and dogmatism is Quinn, the youngest and a well-known investigative reporter, who marries a black lawyer and battles with her family for his right to be one of them. Heckler's ( A Fragile Peace ) theme--that the sisters' relationships are preserved by the white lies their differences force them to tell--adds a distinctive dimension to the narrative.

"'Maharaja Ranjit Singh-Personalitas Extraordinaire' is a tribute to the spirit of Punjabiat by Educationist and Philanthropist Ms. Manveen Sandhu who believes that our glorious past needs to be brought out of the books of history into the day to day life of generation today. In our fast paced lives, history seems obsolete. In order to make it relevant we need to critically analyze all that has been historically documented to decipher the hidden messages of the past. With this conviction the book has been compiled by Ms. Manveen Sandhu who along with her husband Dr. Shivinder Singh Sandhu has been ardently facilitating active people to people contact between India and Pakistan for cross border peace. This book is an attempt to present the Golden Period of Punjab where in the Kingdom of Lahore epitomized peace, harmony and prosperity despite many wars being fought by its army under the Maharaja. It aims to understand the philosophy of the Maharaja and reasons behind his actions to decipher ways and means to work together both in India and Pakistan for the common betterment of our people. During the course of her research, she had the opportunity of interacting with countless historians artists and intellectuals both in India and Pakistan who contributed valuably in helping her explore unknown facts about the Maharaja that have become an inseparable part of this book. The book is a labour of love as she is not a professional historian. It is dedicated to the youth of Amritsar and Lahore who are the true inheritors of the legacy of Majha and to the Punjabis who have spread all over the world to shower the fragrance of Punjabiat.".

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -The most authoritative life of Mao ever written, by the bestselling author of Wild Swans, Jung Chang and her husband, historian Jon Halliday.Based on a decade of research, and on interviews with many of Mao's close circle in China who have never talked before, and with virtually everyone outside China who had significant dealings with him, this is the most authoritative life of Mao ever written. It is full of startling revelations, exploding the myth of the Long March, and showing a completely unknown Mao: he was not driven by idealism or ideology; his intimate and intricate relationship with Stalin went back to the 1920s, ultimately bringing him to power; he welcomed Japanese occupation of much of China; and he schemed, poisoned and blackmailed to get his way. After Mao conquered China in 1949, his secret goal was to dominate the world. In chasing this dream he caused the deaths of 38 million people in the greatest famine in history. In all, well over 70 million Chinese perished under Mao's rule, in peacetime. Combining meticulous history with the story-telling style of Wild Swans, this biography makes immediate Mao's roller-coaster life, as he intrigued and fought every step of the way to force through his unpopular decisions. Mao's character and the enormity of his behaviour towards his wives, mistresses and children are unveiled for the first time. This is an entirely fresh look at Mao in both content and approach. It will astonish historians and the general reader alike.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This biography of Minna Planer, Richard Wagner's wife of 30 years, reveals her as a self-assured woman and artist who was vital to her husband's creative life.When Richard Wagner first met Minna Planer in 1834, he was an unknown conductor, she a popular actress. His hectic pursuit of her affections culminated in marriage in 1836. Minna endured poverty with him, nursed him through chronic illness, followed him across Europe as he fled from creditors and pursued his artistic goals, and sought to provide him with the stable domestic and erotic life that he craved. He played his works to her as he wrote them, up to Tannhaeuser and Lohengrin, and set store by her opinions. But when he went on the run as a wanted revolutionary, Minna only reluctantly followed him into Swiss exile.Domestic peace tentatively prevailed, but was ultimately destroyed by Wagner's passion for Mathilde Wesendonck. In 1858, he and Minna separated, she returned home to Germany, and subsequent efforts at reconciliation proved ultimately impossible. They remained married, however, until Minna's death in 1866.Despite having been at Richard's side as he matured into the composer of the Ring and Tristan, Minna has been given short shrift by most Wagner commentators. In Eva Rieger's acclaimed biography, translated into English by Chris Walton, the author reveals Minna as a self-assured woman and artist who played a crucial role in the creative life of her husband. This biography of Minna Planer, Richard Wagner's wife of 30 years, reveals her as an artist who was vital to her husband's creative life.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - CAN PIE REALLY PROMOTE WORLD PEACE Beth Howard always dreamed of circumnavigating the planet; not to tick off a list of tourist sites, but to immerse herself in the culture of each country by making pie with local residents. Pie had healed her grief after her husband's death, so why not use it to heal the world and promote peace Hauling her rolling pin from New Zealand to Australia, Thailand to India, Lebanon to Greece, Switzerland to Germany and Hungary, Howard uses America's iconic comfort food as a means for connecting with people in their homes, kitchens, and cafés. In each region, she offers pie lessons and, in turn, learns about the surprising origins of ingredients and traditional dishes-including pie in its myriad forms. During her demanding three-month journey, she meets charming characters, experiences uncanny coincidences, and finds kindness when she least expects it. She also encounters geopolitical unrest (past and present) that prompts the questions: Why is world peace so elusive And what can we do to achieve it She offers some answers in her feisty, often funny, always unflinching voice. Underlying her pie and peace mission is her personal story about overcoming fear, letting go of grief, searching for a new home, and making room for new love. A balanced blend of multi-cultural insight, world history, social commentary, immersive travel, and the comfort of pie, World Piece could be described as Waitress meets Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown. Come along for the wild ride as Howard takes the reader on a deeply intimate, delicious, and inspirational global adventure.
