![Palestine 1936 The Great Revolt and the Roots of the Middle East Conflict [Audiobook]](https://i123.fastpic.org/big/2024/0213/81/b4d282bb441b68bd7a9ba40c051c3d81.jpeg) Free Download Oren Kessler, Shawn K. Jain (Narrator), "Palestine 1936: The Great Revolt and the Roots of the Middle East Conflict" English | ASIN: B0CS48S8FQ | 2024 | MP3@64 kbps | ~09:12:00 | 262 MB In spring 1936, the Holy Land erupted in a rebellion that targeted both the local Jewish community and the British Mandate authorities. The Great Arab Revolt would last three years, cost thousands of lives, and cast the trajectory for the Middle East conflict. The revolt was the crucible in which Palestinian identity coalesced, uniting all in a single struggle for independence. Yet the rebellion would ultimately turn on itself. British forces' aggressive counterinsurgency took care of the rest, finally quashing the uprising on the eve of World War II. To the Jews, the insurgency would leave a very different legacy. It was then that Zionist leaders began to abandon illusions over Arab acquiescence, to face the prospect that fulfilling their dream of sovereignty might mean forever clinging to the sword. The revolt saw thousands of Jews trained and armed by Britain. This is the story of two national movements and the first sustained confrontation between them. The rebellion was Arab, but the Zionist counter-rebellion-the Jews' transformation-is a vital element in how Palestine became Israel. Today, the revolt's legacy endures. Palestine 1936 is the origin story of the world's most intractable conflict, but it is also more than that. It reveals world-changing events through extraordinary individuals on all sides.

The six poets Rachel Galvin discusses-W. H. Auden, Marianne Moore, Raymond Queneau, Gertrude Stein, Wallace Stevens, and César Vallejo-all wrote memorably about war, but still they felt they did not have authority to write about what they had not experienced firsthand. Consequently, these writers developed a wartime poetics engaging with both classical rhetoric and the daily news in texts that encourage readers to take critical distance from war culture. ![Soldat Reflections of a German Soldier, 1936–1949 [Audiobook]](https://i122.fastpic.org/big/2024/0109/99/0b3556821a15593f01ffd61ee7d79c99.jpeg) Free Download Soldat: Reflections of a German Soldier, 1936-1949 (Audiobook) English | ASIN: B00D5ZJRQK | 2013 | 12 hours and 3 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 328 MB Author: Siegfried Knappe, Ted Brusaw Narrator: John Wray A German soldier during World War II offers an inside look at the Nazi war machine, using his wartime diaries to describe how a ruthless psychopath motivated an entire generation of ordinary Germans to carry out his monstrous schemes.

Hitler's Olympics: The Story of the 1936 Nazi Games by Anton Rippon English | October 24, 2012 | ISBN: 1848848684 | 220 pages | PDF | 19 Mb For two weeks in August 1936, Nazi Germany achieved an astonishing propaganda coup when it staged the Olympic Games in Berlin. Hiding their anti-Semitism and plans for territorial expansion, the Nazis exploited the Olympic ideal, dazzling visiting spectators and journalists alike with an image of a peaceful, tolerant Germany. In Hitler's Olympics, Anton Rippon tells the story of those remarkable Games, the first to overtly use the Olympic festival for political purposes. His account, which is illustrated with almost 200 rare photographs of the event, looks at how the rise of the Nazis affected German sportsmen and women in the early 1930s. And it reveals how the rest of the world allowed the Berlin Olympics to go ahead despite the knowledge that Nazi Germany was a police state.
![Roosevelt Sweeps Nation FDR's 1936 Landslide and the Triumph of the Liberal Ideal [Audiobook]](https://i120.fastpic.org/big/2022/1118/dd/c57e06b8d904899b86e028b3b44288dd.jpeg) English | ASIN: B09ZFFZWBY | 2022 | 17 hours and 37 minutes | MP3 | M4B | 471 MB Award-winning historian David Pietrusza boldly steers clear of the past narrative regarding Franklin Roosevelt's unprecedented 1936 re-election landslide, weaving an enormously more intricate, ever more surprising tale of a polarized nation; of America's most complex, calculating, and politically successful president, Franklin D. Roosevelt, at the very top of his Machiavellian game; and the unlocking of the puzzle of how our society, our politics, and our parties fitfully reinvented themselves. With in-depth examinations of rabble-rousing Democratic US Senator Huey Long and his assassination before he was able to challenge FDR; powerful, but hated newspaper baron William Randolph Hearst, who blasted FDR's "Raw Deal"; wildly popular, radical radio host Father Coughlin; the steamrolled passage of Social Security and backlash against it; the era's racism and anti-Semitism; American Socialism and Communism; and a Supreme Court seemingly bent on dismantling the New Deal altogether, Roosevelt Sweeps Nation is a vivid portrait of a dynamic Depression-Era America. Crafting his account from an impressive and unprecedented collection of primary and secondary sources, Pietrusza has produced an engrossing, original, and authoritative account of an election, a president, and a nation at the crossroads. The nation's stakes were high.and the parallels hauntingly akin to today's dangerously strife-ridden political and culture wars.  Dennis A Dennis A. Doyle PhD, "Psychiatry and Racial Liberalism in Harlem, 1936-1968 " English | ISBN: 1580464920 | 2016 | 268 pages | PDF | 3 MB Toward the middle of the twentieth century, African Americans in New York City began to receive increased access to mental health care in some facilities within the city's mental health system. This study documents how and why this important change in public health-and in public opinion on race-occurred. Drawing on records from New York's children's courts, Harlem's public schools, Columbia University, and the Department of Hospitals, Dennis Doyle tells here the story of the American psychiatrists and civil servants who helped codify in New York's mental health policies the view that blacks and whites are psychological equals. The book examines in particular the events through which these racial liberals working in Harlem gained a foothold within New York's public institutions, creating inclusive public policies and ostensibly race-neutral standards of care. Psychiatry and Racial Liberalism in Harlem, 1936-1968 not only contributes to the growing body of historiography on race and medical institutions in the civil rights era but, more importantly, shows how inveterate racial prejudices within public policy can be overcome. |
