Interpretations have changed with the times. The Gulf War led to the stationing of US troops in Saudi Arabia, an important contributing cause of the 9/11 attacks. The war also led to a long obsession with Saddam Hussein that culminated in a second, far longer, American-led war with Iraq. In Into the Desert, historian Jeffrey Engel has gathered an all-star cast of contributors to reevaluate the...

The Four Freedoms: Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Evolution of an American Idea
ISBN: 9780199376216 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The specter of global war loomed large in President Franklin Roosevelt's mind as he prepared to present his 1941 State of the Union address. He believed the United States had a role to play in the battle against Nazi and fascist aggression already underway in Europe, yet his rallying cry to the nation was about more than just national security or why Americans should care about a fight still far overseas. He instead identified how Americans defined themselves as a people, with words that resonated and defined the parameters of American politics and foreign policy for generations. Roosevelt...

In a gripping story of international power and deception, Jeffrey Engel reveals the special relationship between the United States and Great Britain in a new and far more competitive light.

In the quest for sovereignty and hegemony, one important key was airpower, which created jobs, forged ties with the developing world, and, perhaps most importantly in a nuclear world, ensured military superiority. Only the United States and Britain were capable of supplying the post-war world s ravenous...

Local Consequences of the Global Cold War
ISBN: 9780804759472 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.
