Summary

Colonial Conflicts explores the history of conflicts arising from colonialism, examining how these struggles shaped global boundaries and the identities of nations. The book delves into the diverse forms of resistance employed by colonized populations, from armed rebellions to cultural preservation, and analyzes the long-lasting impact of these conflicts on post-colonial societies. Colonial conflicts were integral to the formation of modern nation-states and the evolution of global power structures, influencing everything from political instability to economic inequality.

 
The book begins by outlining the major waves of colonialism and the motivations of colonizing powers. It then examines specific conflicts, such as the Algerian War of Independence, analyzing their causes, consequences, and impact on local populations. By exploring these historical events, Colonial Conflicts provides vital context for understanding contemporary geopolitical dynamics and the persistent legacies of colonialism, including issues of national identity and global power structures.

 
Synthesizing findings from various case studies, the book draws broader conclusions about the nature of colonial conflicts and their enduring legacies. Using primary and secondary sources, including archival documents and personal accounts, it connects historical analysis to contemporary debates about globalization and international relations. This approach offers a comprehensive understanding of how colonial conflicts continue to shape our world.

    This story is a chronicle of the year 1968 as seen through the eyes of the author while serving at Takhli Royal Thai Air Force Base in Thailand, supporting the air war in Vietnam. It was an odd juxtaposition, repairing the fire-control systems on F-105s that were making twice-daily bombing runs over North Vietnam, while living in relative comfort and safety. 
     
     
     
    For every combatant in a time of war, there are thousands of men and women serving in support roles. These soldiers, marines, sailors, and airmen are doing their jobs every day to support the overall effort. They are cooks and clerks, logistics experts, truck drivers and administrators, mechanics and technicians, doctors, nurses, dentists, and chaplains of every faith. They may not be getting shot at or shelled, but they are vital to the mission in every sense. 
     
     
     
    They serve on bases at home as well as overseas in nearly every corner of the globe. They deploy and leave their families and loved ones. They miss birthdays, graduations, anniversaries, school plays, football games, weddings, and funerals. They, too, serve their country honorably. This story is dedicated to support personnel serving everywhere, past, and present.

    In Zen, Zest, Zip, Zap and Zing, Osho responds to questions on love, freedom, morality, women's role in society, nostalgia, a child's right to privacy, the purpose of life, and more. Again and again he nudges the listener back to the essential: Zen – awareness, being here and now. While responding to the concerns of the questioners, Osho also illustrates how nonessential their preoccupations are.
    Whenever questions are academic or "spiritual," Osho hits the questioner's head hard, dismissing such enquiries as games of the ego and even as 'holy cow dung'! Describing how centuries of political and religious slavery have repressed India, Osho lays out a blueprint for the nation to move away from the burdens of the past towards freedom.
    And between the lines, he offers an invitation to live life to the full, to take its challenges head-on and with a sense of humor.

    This combo consists of 2 books: 
    1 - Emiliano Zapata Salazar was a revolutionary in Mexico. He was a key figure in the Mexican Revolt of the years 1910 until 1920, and also the primary leader of the people's revolution in the Mexican state of Morelos and the creator of the Zapatismo agrarian movement. Zapata was born in the rural town of Anenecuilco in the state of Morelos, at the time of a period when peasant communities dealt with increasing pressure from the small-landowning class, which monopolized land and water resources for sugar-cane production with the support of totalitarian Porfirio Daz (President from the year 1877 to 1880 and from 1884 to 1911). Zapata was associated with political efforts against Daz and the landowning hacendados from an early age, and when the Revolution emerged in the year 1910, he was placed as a key figure in the peasant insurgence in Morelos. He established the Freedom Army of the South with the help of certain other peasant leaders, and he rapidly rose to become its undisputed head. 
    2 - The cult image, female divine being, and folk saint Nuestra Seora de la Santa Muerte (Spanish meaning: Our Woman of the Holy Death) is a cult image, female divine being, and folk saint in Mexican Neopaganism and folk Catholicism. Her worshippers relate her with healing, security, and safe delivery to the afterlife simply because she's a personification of death. In spite of condemnation from Catholic Church leaders and, more just recently, evangelical movements, her following has grown substantially since the start of the twenty-first century. Santa Muerte, who was initially portrayed as a male character, is now generally illustrated as a skeletal female figure dressed in a long cape and clutching several things, most typically a scythe and a world.

    Washington - A Legacy of Leadership

    His name is carved in granite, his likeness cast in bronze, his legend as large as the role he played as America's first president. But before he was a commander-in-chief, George Washington was a general in a revolution that would decide the future of the people and land he called his own. If victorious, he would gain immortality. If defeated, he would find his neck in a hangman's noose. 
    Washington knew the sting of defeat—at Brandywine, at Germantown—yet this unwavering leadership and his vision for a new and independent nation emboldened an army prepared to fight barefoot if necessary to win that independence. Wrote an officer after the Battle of Princeton:  "I saw him brave all the dangers of the field and his important life hanging as it were by a single hair with a thousand deaths flying around him." 
    Among America's pantheon of Founding Fathers, one man to this day stands out.  Author Paul Vickery tracks the unlikely rise of Washington, a man whose stature in command of a young army became prelude to a presidency. As Vickery writes, "He learned to become the father of our country by first being the father of our military."
