Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. It began with injustice-Stalin murdered Ana Cortez's parents, na ve idealists who got caught up in his purges in the 1930s, and assumed Ana, a beautiful, magnetic Russian expert from Mexico who was thirty-six years his junior, would marry him to produce a communist dynasty to rule the world. When she flees Moscow, his secret police relentlessly pursue her and peel back one hiding place after another as if opening a matryoshka or Russian nesting doll. In a desperate game of hide and seek that stretches over continents, she eludes them. She is up against a brutal dictator, the international resources of Soviet Russia, and loneliness. She is mighty stubborn, awfully creative, but the odds are against her and her luck always seems to be about to run out. She finds refuge in Texas where she marries, becomes an American citizen, and puts the Stalinist nightmare behind her. However, Stalin's police show up and corner her in a bar in Central Texas in 1953. She escapes with the help of a stranger codenamed the Sheriff and decides to confront Stalin. She goes to Moscow with her husband and the Sheriff and his Posse. She aims to avenge her parents' death, bring Stalin to justice, and set in motion reforms that will end communism in Russia and change the trajectory of world history. Against the factual background of the Stalinist era, World War II, and the Cold War, The Russian Riddle: Stalin's Deadly Date with Destiny sizzles with suspense, action, jaw-dropping twists and turns, and relentless pursuits that are stymied by creative countermoves that range across Russia, Europe, Mexico, and Texas, and involve the pope; secret agents; Khrushchev, Beria, and the Soviet Politburo, and other colorful characters. It will make you laugh, cry, and sit on the edge of your seat-an epic story that validates the importance of roots, law, justice, and traditional values in an era when . It is the first novel in the Posse Mystery Series.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. On November 16, 1933, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Soviet Commissar of Foreign Affairs Maxim Litvinov signed an agreement establishing diplomatic ties between the United States and the Soviet Union. Two days later Roosevelt named the first of five ambassadors he would place in Moscow between 1933 and 1945. Caught between Roosevelt and Stalin tells the dramatic and important story of these ambassadors and their often contentious relationships with the two most powerful men in the world. More than fifty years after his death, Roosevelt's foreign policy, especially regarding the Soviet Union, remains a subject of intense debate. Dennis Dunn offers an ambitious new appraisal of the apparent confusion and contradiction in Roosevelt's policy one moment publicizing the four freedoms and the Atlantic Charter and the next moment giving tacit approval to Stalin's control of parts of Eastern Europe and northeast Asia. Dunn argues that "Rooseveltism," the president's belief that the Soviet Union and the United States were both developing into modern social democracies, blinded Roosevelt to the true nature of Stalin's brutal dictatorship despite repeated warnings from his ambassadors in Moscow. Focusing on the ambassadors themselves, William C. Bullitt, Joseph E. Davies, Laurence A. Steinhardt, William C. Standley, and W. Averell Harriman, Dunn details their bruising arguments with Roosevelt over the president's repeated concessions to Stalin. Using information uncovered during extensive research in the Soviet archives, Dunn reveals much about Stalin's policy toward the United States and demonstrates that in ignoring his ambassadors' good advice, Roosevelt appeased the Soviet leader unnecessarily. Sure to generate new discussion concerning the origins of the Cold War, this controversial assessment of Roosevelt's failed Soviet policy will be read for years to come.…

Zustand: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Seiten: 272 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | The book reveals the nexus between religion and politics today and shows that we live in an interdependent world where one global civilization is emerging and where the world¿s peoples are continuing to coalesce around a series of values that contain potent Western overtones. Both Putin¿s Orthodox Russia and regions under the control of such Islamist groups like ISIS and Al Qaeda resent and attempt, in a largely languishing effort, to frustrate this series of values. The book explains the current tension between the West and Russia and parts of the Muslim world and sheds light on the causes of such crises as the Syrian Civil War, Russiäs aggression against Ukraine, and acts of terrorism such as 9/11 and the ISIS-inspired massacres in Paris. It shows that religion continues to affect global order and that knowledge of its effect on political identity and global governance should guide both government policy and scholarly analysis of contemporary history.…
