Book Description
Most people have never heard of Biafra or the war that nullified its birth and impending existence as a country. But those who lived the war still feel the sting and stigma of their wartime experiences. Knowing the history of a people helps one to understand them, giving rise to compassion rather than condemnation or alienation. This is also true for a people’s posterity to ensure negative history never repeats itself. Though the land’s rising sun is currently dimmed along its horizon, it will never be utterly extinguished and allowed to completely set because of the voices of those still crying out from it. Read on to discover the indigene experience of wartime Biafra through the eyes of a young nurse, chronicled in a historical fiction tribute.

Even casual observers will be familiar with the Cherry Blossom or Sakura tress of Japan. When in full bloom the sight is spectacular but it sadly only takes a week until the tree is bare. In a longer cycle of nations and business, we see, unfortunately, a similar pattern for Japanese Multinational Corporations.

The AMAZING similarity of Native American INDIAN language to that of ancient ASIA. NOW, after 500 years, we can finally understand the rich language & landmarks used by the native "Indians." Words like Massachusetts, Michigan, Dakota, Missouri, tomahawk, Kimosabe, Kansas, Arizona, etc. Taking a broad-brush look at America's early natives, a whole new perspective of AMERICAN HISTORY is unfolded. A rich & surprising history! For the FIRST TIME, the Indian language is explained & the reasons for the enigmas of Indian history are reported. Where did the AZTECS say they came from? What does their name mean? The CAHOKIA mounds were the center of a Mississippi EMPIRE of the SUN. America was split up into two sides of the "KAN - Mississippi river." KANSAS & KENTUCKY sides. Why did Coronado fail to find the 7 golden cities of CIBOLA? CIBOLA is at last found & golden cities existed! Why did Columbus know that he was close to CHINA & JAPAN? Because the Caribbean, Mexico & the Americas used a similar unique ancient language. The Copernican theory boldly abandoned the concept of an earth-centered universe - this new bold hypothesis can dramatically change our social history perspective as well.

It examines eight directors: Fukasaku Kinji, Im Kwon-teak, Kawase Naomi, Miike Takashi, Lee Chang-dong, Kitano Takeshi, Park Chan-wook, and Kim Ki-duk and considers their work as reflections of personal visions and as films that engage with globalization, colonialism, nationalism, race, gender, history, and the contemporary state of Japan and South Korea. Each chapter is followed by a short analysis of a selected film, and the volume as a whole includes a cinematic overview of Japan and South Korea and a list of suggestions for further reading and viewing.

Book Description
The powerful and riveting new book in the multimillion-selling Killing series by Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard Autumn 1944. World War II is nearly over in Europe but is escalating in the Pacific, where American soldiers face an opponent who will go to any length to avoid defeat. The Japanese army follows the samurai code of Bushido, stipulating that surrender is a form of dishonor. Killing the Rising Sun takes readers to the bloody tropical-island battlefields of Peleliu and Iwo Jima and to the embattled Philippines, where General Douglas MacArthur has made a triumphant return and is plotting a full-scale invasion of Japan. Across the globe in Los Alamos, New Mexico, Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer and his team of scientists are preparing to test the deadliest weapon known to mankind. In Washington, DC, FDR dies in office and Harry Truman ascends to the presidency, only to face the most important political decision in history: whether to use that weapon. And in Tokyo, Emperor Hirohito, who is considered a deity by his subjects, refuses to surrender, despite a massive and mounting death toll. Told in the same page-turning style of Killing Lincoln, Killing Kennedy, Killing Jesus, Killing Patton, and Killing Reagan, this epic saga details the final moments of World War II like never before.
