Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The National Front Party has just been elected in France and millions of immigrants flee to Europe to escape climate extremes and rising sea levels.

Hardback. Zustand: Good. On a hot summer evening in 1958, a group of African American students in Wichita, Kansas, quietly entered Dockum's Drug Store and sat down at the whites-only lunch counter. This was the beginning of the first sustained, successful student sit-in of the modern civil rights movement, instigated in violation of the national NAACP's instructions. Based on interviews with over eighty participants and observers of this sit-in, Dissent in Wichita traces the contours of race relations and black activism in an unexpected locus of the civil rights movement, revealing that the movement was a national, not a southern, phenomenon.…

Zustand: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Seiten: 282 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | This story is based on real events that took place in 1984. When an inexperienced crew set off to bring a yacht full of cannabis resin from Lebanon to London, they had no idea they were not simply drug trafficking but participating in what the British government would call "Operation Bishop." The crew found themselves part of an international drama linked to the foreign policies of the British and U.S. governments, trapped at the nexus of the Cold War and the war against terrorism. This celebrated case was silenced by the British government, the records still classified and not to be publicly available for 80 years--until 2064. This fictionalized story imagines the crew members, their journey, their prison time, and their trials, and why the British government took such an unusual step to hide details of Operation Bishop. Actual historical figures in this book include President Reagan, CIA Director William Casey, National Security Council staff Oliver North, and Saudi arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi as well as Casey's friends in international business. Scenes with these historical people are imagined, but their involvement in the Iran Contra affair is well documented. See Discussion of Sources. The participants in Operation Bishop presented in this novel are imagined and any resemblance to the actual participants is coincidental and unintended. A study guide and an appendix are included.…
