The fiftieth anniversary of the long entanglement between the United States and NATO is an appropriate occasion to reflect. One of the few NATO studies to concentrate on the history of the alliance, particularly the relationship between its senior partner and its European allies, this study examines critical issues in depth, to uncover the ability of the allies to surmount their internal divisions and to confront their Soviet adversary.

ISBN: 9780275980061 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 165 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This history of NATO concentrates on the differences within the alliance, particularly between the US and its European partners. NATO's war against terrorism began on September 11, 2001. Invoking Article 5 was a fitting response to the assault on the United States, but the spirit did not last long. Within a few weeks, old fissures within the alliance re-emerged, threatening once again to dissolve an entity that had survived over half a century. In the first two generations of NATO's existence, the Cold War with the Soviet Union had been the major purpose of its existence. But since the...

Between Ocean and City: The Transformation of Rockaway, New York
ISBN: 9780231128490 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Rockaway Beach was once a popular seaside resort in south Queens with a small permanent population. Shortly after World War II, large parts of this narrow peninsula between the ocean and the bay became some of New York City's worst slums. A historian who grew up in the community and his wife, a social worker, together present an illuminating account of this transformation, exploring issues of race, class, and social policy and offering a significant revision of the larger story of New York City's development. In particular, the authors qualify some of the negative assessments of Robert Moses,...

Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook and Jewish Spirituality
ISBN: 9780814746523 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook (1865-1935) was the first Ashkenazic chief rabbi of mandatory Palestine. Admired for the incredible diversity of his talents and interests--talmudist, halakhist, kabbalist, mystic, theologian, moralist, poet, and communal leader--Rav Kook's world outlook extolled breadth and derided narrow specialization. More than any other Orthodox thinker in modern times, he addressed, squarely and boldly, the confrontation between Judaism and the modern world. Kook serves as a natural model to those Jews who seek a religious understanding of and response to the culture and...

NATO 1948: The Birth of the Transatlantic Alliance
ISBN: 9780742539174 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 286 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This compelling history brings to life the watershed year of 1948, when the United States reversed its long-standing position of political and military isolation from Europe and agreed to an "entangling alliance" with ten European nations. Not since 1800, when the United States ended its alliance with France, had the nation made such a commitment. The historic North Atlantic Treaty was signed on April 4, 1949, but the often-contentious negotiations stretched throughout the preceding year. Lawrence S. Kaplan, the leading historian of NATO, traces the tortuous and dramatic process, which...

The United States and NATO: The Formative Years
ISBN: 9780813152974 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The creation of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization was one of the most important accomplishments of American diplomacy in countering the Soviet threat during the early days of the Cold War. Why and how such a reversal of a 150-year nonalignment policy by the United States was brought about, and how the goals of the treaty became a reality, are questions addressed here by a leading scholar of NATO. The importance of restoring Europe to strength and stability in the post-World War II years was as obvious to America as to its allies, but the means of achieving that goal were far...

Homer Lea: American Soldier of Fortune
ISBN: 9780813126166 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. As a five-feet-three-inch hunchback who weighed about 100 pounds, Homer Lea (1876--1912), was an unlikely candidate for life on the battlefield, yet he became a world-renowned military hero. Homer Lea: American Soldier of Fortune paints a revealing portrait of a diminutive yet determined man who never earned his valor on the field of battle, but left an indelible mark on his times. Lawrence M. Kaplan draws from extensive research to illuminate the life of a "man of mystery," while also yielding a clearer understanding of the early twentieth-century Chinese underground reform...

The Conversion of Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg: From Isolation to International Engagement
ISBN: 9780813160559 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The United States has looked inward throughout most of its history, preferring to avoid "foreign entanglements," as George Washington famously advised. After World War II, however, Americans became more inclined to break with the past and take a prominent place on the world stage. Much has been written about the influential figures who stood at the center of this transformation, but remarkably little attention has been paid to Arthur H. Vandenberg (1884--1951), who played a crucial role in moving the nation from its isolationist past to an internationalist future. Vandenberg served...

One Man's Fight for a Better Navy: Memoir of Holden A. Evans, former Naval Constructor, U.S.N.
ISBN: 9781512208450 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Holden A. Evans was a progressive naval officer who, as a naval constructor in the early twentieth century, unsuccessfully led a single-handed crusade to reduce wasteful practices and improve efficiency in U.S. Navy shipyards. He was the navy's foremost expert on scientific management and came close to achieving his goals before a conservative backlash led to his resignation. In the late 1930s, when war clouds threatened to engulf Europe in another major war and the United States began increasing its military preparedness, he turned his attention again to urging improvements to the navy's...
