Book Description
The collection of well-researched essays assesses the uses and misuses of history 25 years after the collapse of Soviet hegemony in Eastern Europe. As opposed to the revival of national histories that seemed to be the prevailing historiographical approach of the 1990s, the last decade has seen a particular set of narratives equating Nazism and Communism. This provides opportunities to exonerate wartime collaboration, casting the nation as victim even when its government was allied with Germany. While the Jewish Holocaust is acknowledged, its meaning and significance are obfuscated. In their comparative analysis the authors are also interested in new practices of ?Europeanness?. Therefore their presentations of Slovak, Hungarian, Romanian, Bulgarian, Serbian, Bosnian, Croatian and Slovenian post-communist memory politics move beyond the common national myths in order to provide a new insight into transnational interactions and exchanges in Europe in general. The juxtaposition of these politics, the processes in other parts of Europe, the modes of remembering shaped by displacement and the transnational enable a close encounter with the divergences and assess the potential of the formation of common, European memory practices. ÿ

Book Description
The Red Dragons of the 2nd Chemical Mortar Battalion was never relieved from combat duty. For 1007 consecutive days the battalion ..".moved along the entire width of the battle line, emplacing where the fighting was heaviest, inflicting tremendous casualties...and redeploying when a relative lull occurred to yet another sector where the savage battle flared anew." Thus read one of the battalion's two Presidential Unit Citations. The story of this battalion has never been documented. Based on personal interviews and original, long-forgotten and unpublished records, Red Dragons puts the reader in the trenches on Korean mountainsides in every kind of weather and every kind of action. To left and right the reader finds soldiers who fought the "Forgotten War" with little reward and by their courage and sacrifice held the line behind which America gathered strength for its ultimate victory in half a century of Cold War. Walter J. Eldredge is a 1968 graduate of MIT and retired from ExxonMobil Corporation. Walt is an experienced backpacker and sailor. He and his wife Peggy live in Baton Rouge, LA where they are active volunteers with many community organizations and participating in the lives of their five adult children. Walt's father was a mortar company commander with the red Dragons. Walt says of his work with veterans, "I have shared in the memories of ordinary men who drove themselves to extraordinary limits. I have been able to make those memories available to their families and friends who often have no idea of what these men achieved or what they endured. Many have told me that my work 'broke the ice' for discussions that otherwise would not have taken place. Many of my closest friends are men who fought alongside my father before I was born."

The Red Dragon Rising Series discounted ebundle includes: Shadows of War, Edge of War, Shock of War, Blood of War "Larry Bond is the literary heir of Tom Clancy.”—Stephen Coonts More than twenty years ago, Larry Bond helped Tom Clancy write Red Storm Rising, the iconic techno thriller of the Cold War era. Now he returns (with Jim DeFelice) to start a new classic series for our era, Larry Bond’s Red Dragon Rising, which imagines the globe torn apart by climate change and its economic and geopolitical fallout. Shadows of War Rapid climate change leads to mass riots in China, and a new communist premier seeks to relieve pressure by marching on traditional Chinese enemies in Southeast Asia. Desperately coping with its own problems, the United States wants to avoid nuclear war at all costs--but ultimately must fight to preserve world peace. Edge of War CIA officer Mara Duncan faces her most grueling assignment yet: get scientist Josh MacArthur and a seven-year-old witness to Chinese atrocities in Vietnam out of the country safely. With a relentless Chinese monk turned commando and the entire Chinese secret service in Vietnam at their back, it's not going to be easy. Shock of War Under secret orders from the President, U.S. Army Major Zeus Murphy sabotages a Chinese invasion fleet on the eve of its assault against Vietnam. But after Murphy and fellow officer Win Christian are trapped behind enemy lines, Christian's erratic behavior gives them away. The pair shoot their way out of a Chinese airport terminal, hijack a bus, then barely escape two truckloads of soldiers before disappearing into the night. Blood of War As depression and drought wrack China, the country's new premier has launched a deadly war with Vietnam. The assault has left the world on the precipice of disaster....U.S. Army Major Zeus Murphy disobeys his commander and plunges headlong into the conflict, leading the Vietnamese in a covert attack against the Chinese army massing on the border. If the gambit fails, China will roll over Vietnam—and Zeus will lose the only woman he has ever loved, kept prisoner in a secret base north of Hanoi.
