  The Martial Imagination: Cultural Aspects of American Warfare , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 610min

  The Martial Imagination: Cultural Aspects of American Warfare canvasses the American war experience from the Revolution to the War on Terror, examining how it infuses legitimacy and conformity with an urgency that contorts ideas of citizenship, nationhood, gender, and other pliable categories. The multidisciplinary scholarship in this volume represents the varied perspectives of cultural history, American studies, literary criticism, war and society, media studies, and public culture analysis, illustrating the rich dialogues that epitomize the cultural history of American warfare.Bringing together both recognized and emerging scholars, this book is the first anthology to feature essays on this topic, comprising research from 12 authors who represent a wide range of experiences and disciplines. Their work uncovers new and surprising understandings of the American war experience that reveal the ways in which culture makers have grappled with the trauma of war, salvaged meaning from the meaningless, or advanced some ulterior agenda.The book is published by Texas A&M University Press. ungekürzt.

  Beware of Darkness

  He lay motionless, his breathing shallow, and his mind at rest. A thick hand thrusts into his fine leather coat pocket, seeking and retrieving his wallet. Two young, fresh, and inexperienced NYPD Detectives uncover a world defined by Power, Greed, and Freedom. The pawns in this sphere are innocent victims placed in an obsolete psychiatric hospital. Here, each individual is "Indoctrinated", having their memoires, their stories, and their lives, obliterated as Dr. Michael Evans experiments on their minds. They are manipulated physically, mentally, and financially; yes, the financial advantages are vast for both Dr. Evans and his corrupt sidekick, Police Detective Fred Maxwell. With corruption at every level of the police, legal, and medical domains-will the confined patients of St. Anthony's Hospital ever again see the light of day and be reunited with their loved ones? Who would advocate for them? What could spark their internal fortitude enough to fight for their own Freedom? Weaving seamlessly through this action-packed and intelligently humorous narrative is the mission of an allied group of terrorists with ulterior motives to shame and punish America. Beware of Darkness contains all the power and authority of Dr. Evans; the greed and ruthlessness of Fred Maxwell; the emotions of Walter Carson; the naivete and innocence of Jimmy Smolinski. Freedom, they say, is found, but is it?
