‎Major shift: The change in U.S. foreign policy during the 2003 Iraq war era and Turkish - U.S. relations.‎

‎New English Paperback. Roy. 8vo. (23 x 17 cm). In English. [x], 280 p. Major shift. The change in U.S. foreign policy during the 2003 Iraq war era and Turkish - U.S. relations. Turkish-U.S. relations became more intense during the Cold War era. The parameters of the Cold War were different than today. The world system was bipolar, divided under this balance of power. By joining NATO and taking its place in the western bloc, Turkey found itself standing on the western side and allied with the United States against the Soviet Union. Until the end of the Cold War, the U.S. policy makers focused on Turkey in only one specific dimension: Turkey's problems with Cyprus or the Cuban Missile Crisis had mattered for the U.S. only within the wider picture of the U.S. policy concerning the Soviet Union. U.S. foreign policy during the Cold War was using this approach not only with respect to Turkey. There was a tradition in U.S. foreign policy during the Cold War to engage with countries as they related the Soviet Union and the balance of power. After the Cold War, just like everything else, U.S. foreign policy had changed. The world was no longer bipolar, but unipolar. The balance of power system crumbled, it left in its spot a hegemonic world order. In this era, U.S. foreign policy was also trying to reshape itself according to the new parameters of the world. The World Trade Organization (WTO), NATO, the EU and all other international organizations were evolving while the nations were changing their foreign policies. The 9/11 terrorist attacks were one of the biggest tragedies in the world's history. On that morning the world's new order and its new rules began to shape. The new alliances, parameters, and engagement rules started to be designed. Being the world's authority and facing the historic tragedies pushed the U.S. the take some extreme actions in order to express its foreign policy. The new foreign policy of the U.S. was shaped under these unusual circumstances. Before the parameters of the new era were shaped, the U.S. had to take immediate actions to design its foreign policy. The newly elected George W. Bush government consisted of the neoconservative ideologist who served in the George Bush Senior's administration shaped the new foreign policy values after the Cold War. The neoconservative ideology adopted itself to the post-9/11 era. In this new era actions of the U.S. foreign policy makers were influenced by neoconservative thought. The neoconservative foreign policy was based on realism and the unilateral approach made the military option more important in foreign policy than diplomacy. The new approach in U.S. foreign policy also affected America's immediate relations with other countries and in this case with Turkey. Turkey, by taking its side with the western world during the Cold War, has found itself in very critical situations. Turkey's immediate foreign policy concerns had never been the priority for the U.S. during the Cold War era. Starting from the Cuban Missile Crises, through the Johnson and the continuation of the Cyprus crisis, Turkey's immediate foreign policy concerns were always underestimated by the U.S. due to the parameters of the Cold War. Yet, Turkey never abandoned the alliance with America during and after the Cold War, especially right after the Cold War. Turkey cooperated with the U.S. in many different fields in order to take its place in the new world order. The immediate post-Cold War era was a very fortunate time for Turkey and the U.S. The two countries had common interests. In addition to military cooperation in Europe and Africa, Turkey joined with the U.S. during the Gulf War. Turkey could be considered the most cooperative country with the U.S. during the entire Gulf War. Even though Turkey's security and economic concerns became major questions in Turkish public opinion, the country never stepped out from the partnership. Obviously, Turkey was not the only side valuing th‎

‎Koje Unscreened‎

‎111 pages. Black and white photographic plates. Undated but likely 1953. "Cuts through the propaganda to show for the first time the sequence of events on Koje Island and in the other American prisoner camps. Only by viewing the events as they occurred, and as they were related to American policy at the truce talks in Panmunmom, is it possible to understand the periodic large-scale massacres, some of which found their way into the headlines. The authors were fortunate in being in Korea during all these events, not only at the truce talks and the front but also in the rear where they had scores of interviews with prisoners who escaped from Koje Island; Kuomintang and Rhee agents who worked on Koje and were later parachuted into North Korea and taken prisoner, and with captured United Nations soldiers who had themselves served as guards on Koje and had actually taken part in the massacres. The picture is clear and conclusive. The Koje events were a necessary part of overall American strategy. The macabre skeleton of Koje known to the public from attenuated press reports, needs flesh and clothes in order to be recognised as the monstrosity that it truly is." - Author's Note. Unmarked with somewhat above-average wear. McFarland [1843] describes the authors as "newspapermen, one from England and one from Australia, who openly collaborated with the Chinese Communists during the war." Binding intact.

‎L'officina del diavolo. La più grande operazione di falsificazione della storia‎

‎ill., ril. Nel 1942 un telegramma raggiunge i comandanti dei campi di concentramento disseminati in territorio tedesco: contiene l'ordine di reclutare tutti gli internati ebrei con esperienza nel settore grafico e di provvedere al loro trasferimento nel campo di Sachsenhausen, alle porte di Berlino. È l'inizio della cosiddetta 'operazione Bernhard', un piano per la produzione su vasta scala di false sterline inglesi e la loro capillare diffusione in Europa e nel mondo. A Sachsenhausen si ritrovano in centoquarantadue, scampati alla morte per fame, per malattia, alle camere a gas. Vengono nutriti, rivestiti. Per la prima volta dal giorno della loro deportazione vengono trattati come uomini. Vivranno in totale isolamento all'interno di due baracche circondate su ogni lato dal filo spinato. Dentro si nasconde una vera e propria officina per la produzione di banconote e francobolli falsi, di documenti contraffatti. Gli internati del 'Kommando' falsari hanno privilegi che gli altri non hanno. Letti comodi, armadietti personali. Mangiano a sufficienza, possono leggere. Ma quel luogo custodisce un segreto che non dovrà mai essere svelato. Impossibile sperare di uscirne vivi. "L'officina del diavolo" nasce dai ricordi di Adolf Burger, numero 64401 a Auschwitz, tipografo nelle baracche 18 e 19 di Sachsenhausen. Racconta le atrocità di Auschwitz e di Birkenau, i dettagli tecnici dell'operazione di falsificazione, le rocambolesche ultime fasi della prigionia, fino alla liberazione.‎

‎Burgstresser Harvey D.: World War II Photographica‎

‎PHOTOGRAPH ALBUM OF UNITED STATES ARMY SSGT. HARVEY D. BURGSTRESSER IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC DURING WORLD WAR II INCLUDING SERVICE IN THE PHILIPPINES GUADALCANAL AND ELSEWHERE‎

‎Philippines New Caledonia Guadalcanal New Zealand Hawaii 1945. 213 photographs from 2 3/4 x 2 1/4 to 6 1/2 x 8 1/2 inches corner-mounted; plus twenty-two pieces of ephemera mounted or laid in including two mimeographed pamphlets. Oblong quarto album. Red silk boards blue silk ties with stylized Japanese figure on center of front board. Some fraying to edges and corners some loss to silk on rear board minor soiling. Photographs in excellent condition overall. Very good. A dramatic photograph album from Harvey D. Burgstresser's 1912-83 service in the U.S. Army artillery during World War II. Although most photos are not labeled individually they are labeled by group and track Burgstresser's travels through various combat stations during the war in the Pacific. The first photo labeled "Fayetteville NC" shows Burgstresser on left in uniform with another solider walking along a city street. The first section follows and is labeled "Hawaii 5/7/42-11/1/42" and consists mostly of photographs of soldiers at-ease playing with radio equipment and goofing around likely as they wait for deployment to the front. The next section "Guadalcanal 11/15/42-12/1/43" is short but more somber including photo prints of indigenous people of the island the corpse of a soldier and a photo of a sign posted on a roadside reading: "Kill the Bastards! Down this road marched one of the regiments of the United States Army Knights Serving the Queen of Battles Twenty of their wounded in litters were bayoneted shot and clubbed by the yellow bellies. Kill the Bastards!" <br> <br> Next is a section entitled "Auckland New Zealand 12/1/43-3/1/44" a small and peaceful section featuring photos of couples a few female friends and shots of Burgstresser's battery and company in formation 90th Field Artillery Battalion 25th Infantry Division. From there he was off to "New Caledonia 3/1/44-12/15/44" with a joint force of ANZAC soldiers. Most of these shots are also at- ease and around camp several featuring a truck marked "NZ Mail." From here he moves to "Luzon P.I. 1/9/45 to 10/2/45" the final section and the place where things get a bit more serious; this is also the largest section in the album. Several images show soldiers setting up artillery stations laying wire and organizing ammunition. One image in this section is labeled "V-J Day" and this is the only mention Burgstresser makes about the progress of the war. There are scenes of buildings damaged from war along with a few scenes of combat and more of the aftermath of combat including downed planes and destroyed tanks and several quite explicit images of corpses. In the midst of this are images of Filipino women and men in traditional attire and likely some from New Caledonia and Guadalcanal as well including several shots of topless Filipino women likely not taken by Burgstresser. <br> <br> Various pieces of ephemera are in the album including a twenty-eight-page mimeographed pamphlet entitled WELCOME 25th. INF. DIV. with sections corresponding closely to Burgstresser's arrangement of this album; and a six-page mimeographed pamphlet entitled THE SEA BREEZE "Souvenir Edition" October 23 1945 issued to those aboard the troop ship USAT "Cape Meares." Also included is Burgstresser's military "Motor Vehicle Operator's Permit" authorizing him to drive automobiles large trucks and a "Vehicle wheeled combat;" an invitation to ceremonies honoring General Douglas MacArthur's return to the U.S.; Burgstresser's "Good Conduct Pass" for Auckland; a few newspaper clippings; and pieces of Japanese currency including two pieces of Japanese government- issued "fiat pesos" which the Japanese issued during their occupation of the Philippines. <br> <br> According to his obituary PHILADELPHIA DAILY NEWS April 25 1983 Burgstresser had graduated from Bucknell University; after the war he went into the insulation business and was eventually president of the Philadelphia Asbestos Corporation. His album ably captures both the camaraderie and the horror of the war in the Pacific. hardcover books‎

‎Armi e diplomazia. L'Unione Sovietica e le origini della seconda guerra mondiale (1919-1939)‎

‎brossura L'ascesa al potere di Hitler nel 1933 pose immediatamente le autorità politiche e militari francesi di fronte al problema di come fronteggiare la minaccia tedesca, non solo sul piano diplomatico, ma anche su quello strategico. Una delle possibilità che si offriva a Parigi era la riedizione di un'alleanza con la 'grande potenza' dell'Est, l'Unione Sovietica che, a partire dagli inizi dello stesso anno, iniziò a manifestare un concreto interesse affinché tra Parigi e Mosca si sviluppasse un'attiva cooperazione militare. David Burigana ha analizzato nel dettaglio questo importante episodio della storia del Novecento, avvalendosi di un'ampia e puntuale documentazione di tutte le fonti francesi disponibili, comprese quelle provenienti dagli archivi militari, senza trascurare al contempo gli elementi di carattere economico, nonché quelli relativi alla tecnologia degli armamenti.‎
