The First Cold Warrior: Harry Truman, Containment, And the Remaking of Liberal Internationalism
Elizabeth Edwards Spalding Manufacturer: University Press of Kentucky ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 0813123925 |
Book Description
From the moment he took the oath of office in April 1945, Harry Truman was required to make difficult decisions in an increasingly dangerous world. The results--notably the Truman Doctrine, the Marshall Plan, and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization--were the building blocks of containment, a strategic approach usually associated with George F. Kennan.In this fresh account, based on primary sources, Elizabeth Edwards Spalding argues that it was Truman himself, shaped by history, experience, and religious faith, who outlined and directed America's practice of containment. In so doing, he established a new liberal internationalism that became the dominant bipartisan consensus on U.S. foreign policy in the post-World War II era.

Cowboys As Cold Warriors: The Western and U.S. History (Culture and the Moving Image)
Stanley Corkin Manufacturer: Temple University Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items: ASIN: 1592132545 |
Book Description
Though the United States emerged from World War II with superpower status and quickly entered a period of economic prosperity, the stresses and contradictions of the Cold War nevertheless cast a shadow over American life. The same period marked the heyday of the western film. Cowboys as Cold Warriors shows that this was no coincidence. It examines many of the significant westerns released between 1946 and 1962, analyzing how they responded to and influenced the cultural climate of the country.Author Stanley Corkin discusses a dozen films in detail, connecting them to each other and to numerous others. He considers how these cultural productions both embellished the myth of the American frontier and reflected the era in which they were made.

In the Failing Light: A Memoir
David Tillman Manufacturer: Creative Arts Book Company ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 088739177X |
Customer Reviews:
From the Boston Globe, MY BACK PAGES, By Katherine A. Powers.......1999-12-21
Tillman's memoir of this time is filled with justifiable outrage at a few high-handed doctors, a ruthlessly close-fisted insurance company, and a couple of other officious bodies. But for all this, the book is a sweet and melancholy tale, bracingly lacking in self-pity. Tillman invests the life that goes on around the suffering family with that poignancy that ordinary activity acquires when ordinariness is gone forever. Waiting in a hospital for his wife to emerge from an operation, he observes the cleaning staff: ''The women, their mops abandoned by the doorway, spoke Russian amongst themselves while the little Puerto Rican man stood silent, leaning on his broom, smiling to himself as he watched their large rumps.'' It is Tillman's mixing of humor and sadness that elevates his memoir above the pedestrian.

beautifully written and heart-wrenching book.......1999-09-25
David, this was a beautifully written and heart-wrenching book, and I applaud you for your usual excellent writing. I would be happy to be write a short review of this book, and am honored to have been asked.
"Dave Tillman is that rare writer whose work has the power of universality. His In the Failing Light touches a consciousness shared by all, for everyone has experienced the loss of someone beloved. Beautifully-written and bittersweet, the author - as with all his work - reminds us that even when day slips closer to night, and the light fails, life is to be savored and lived to the fullest."

In the Failing Light: a memoir of love and cancer
David Tillman Manufacturer: Essex Pr ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0966897234 |
Product Description
A beautifully told memoir by a husband who learns on his third wedding anniversary that his wife has advanced breast cancer. Doctors give her just months to live, which stretches to seven years. She's able to watch her only child grow up and balances dance recitals and PTA meetings with one therapy after another, including bone marrow harvesting. While she manages the disease, her husband manages the "zoo" of the medical system: the callous doctors and twisted logic of insurance companies. Through it all, his mantra becomes "you'll live to be 100," while his wife accepts that she will not. Especially good for any couple struggling with terminal cancer.Books:
