The Sanctuary Experience
Author: Elna Louise Otter
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781593302139
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 440
Book Description
During the 1980's, citizens of El Salvador and Guatemala fled their countries because of persecution, torture, and death threats. The United States, a signator to the United Nations Protocol on refugees, was legally bound to accept them, but it resisted admitting that the refugees sought anything other than economic betterment. The sanctuary movement was the response of U.S. citizens to a flood of refugees at the Mexican border. The Sanctuary Experience: Voices of the Community is a selection of the recollections of members of the Tucson refugee support group. These were people who put their religious faith and their devotion to justice and compassion foremost in their lives. Through their stories the reader can follow the greater history of sanctuary as well as understand why ordinary people risked jail in order to help refugees from Central America enter the United States. It has favorite tales and funny anecdotes, as well as accounts of very serious, wrenching experiences. These, then, are the stories of the sanctuary community and how it evolved, affected the lives of the refugees, changed the course of U.S. policy, and impacted the lives of sanctuary workers.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 123
Book Description
When a letter containing a list of victims arrives in the post, P.I. Jack Taylor tells himself that it's got nothing to do with him. He has enough to do just staying sane. His close friend Ridge is recovering from surgery, and alcohol's siren song is calling to him ever more insistently. A guard and then a judge die in mysterious circumstances. But it is not until a child is added to the list that Taylor determines to find the identity of the killer, and stop them at any cost. What he doesn't know is that his relationship with the killer is far closer than he thinks. And it's about to become deeply personal. Spiked with dark humor, and fueled with rage at man's inhumanity to man, Ken Bruen's Sanctuary is crime writing at its darkest and most original.

Abbot Christopher Jamison, from BBC2's THE MONASTERY and new show THE SILENCE, suggests ways in which the teachings of St Benedict can be helpful in everyday life.

Resowing the Seeds of War
Author: Stephen J. Heidt
Publisher: MSU Press
ISBN: 1628954183
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 265
Book Description
Ending a war, as Fred Charles Iklé wrote, poses a much greater challenge than beginning one. In addition to issues related to battle tactics, prisoners of war, diplomatic relations, and cease-fire negotiations, ending war involves domestic political calculations. Balancing the tides of public opinion versus policy needs poses a deep and enduring problem for presidents. In a first-of-its-kind study, Resowing the Seeds of War explains how Presidents Truman, Eisenhower, Nixon, and Obama managed the political, policy, and bureaucratic challenges that arise at the end of war via a series of rhetorical choices that reframe, modify, or unravel depictions of national enemies, the cause of the conflict, and the stakes for the nation and world. This end-of-war rhetoric justifies ending hostilities, rationalizes postwar national policy, argues for the construction of postwar security arrangements, and often sustains public support for massive financial investment in reconstruction. By tracking presidential manipulations of savage imagery from World War II to the War on Terror, this book concludes that even as metaphoric reframing facilitates exit from conflict, it incurs unexpected consequences that make national involvement in the next conflict more likely.

Operation Sealords: A Front In A Frontless War, An Analysis Of The Brown-Water Navy In Vietnam
Author: LCDR William C. McQuilkin USN
Publisher: Pickle Partners Publishing
ISBN: 1786250128
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 133
Book Description
This study examines Operation SEALORDS, the capstone campaign conducted by the brown-water Navy in Vietnam. Specifically, this paper addresses the primary question: Was the SEALORDS campaign successful, and if so, what lessons can be learned from SEALORDS and how might the Navy employ brown-water forces in the future? This thesis breaks down the SEALORDS campaign into three areas of study. First, the study examines the barrier interdiction portion of the campaign designed to stem the flow of enemy infiltration of men and material from Cambodia into the Mekong Delta. Second, this study analyzes the Denial of Sanctuary Operations and Pacification portion of the SEALORDS operations. Last, the Accelerated Turnover to the Vietnamese Program (ACTOV) is examined to determine its effectiveness. The findings of this study suggest that by concentrating naval forces athwart the major infiltration routes along the Cambodian border, SEALORDS effectively cut enemy lines of communication into South Vietnam and severely restricted enemy attempts at infiltration. Additionally, the findings suggest that SEALORDS contributed significantly to pacification efforts in the southern part of III Corps and all of the IV Corps Tactical Zone. Finally, the ACTOV Program is evaluated as successful and put the Navy out ahead of the other services with respect to Vietnamization of the war effort.

The Cat Sanctuary
Author: Patrick Gale
Publisher: Open Road Media
ISBN: 1504037642
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 203
Book Description
Bestselling British author Patrick Gale casts an empathetic and ferocious eye on the domestic wounds inflicted by families and lovers in this dark comedy. One minute Deborah Curtis’s husband, Julian, is alive, a handsome figure leaving their rented house in an African principality, kissing his wife goodbye in the early morning sunshine. The next moment he’s dead, the ground shaking in the aftermath of a deafening explosion. Months later, Deborah is still recovering from the assassination of her spouse and the collateral damage to her own body and soul. Bestselling author Judith Lamb is living with her partner of eight years in an isolated farmhouse on the Cornish moors, struggling with her latest novel. Her American lover, the tall, statuesque Joanna Verdura, is currently on assignment in Seneca. After reading about a diplomat killed by a car bomb meant for someone else, Joanna feels a strong compulsion to visit the dead man’s widow. After all, Deborah is Judith’s younger sister. Although she has been estranged from Judith for years, Deborah doesn’t resist when Joanna whisks her off to Cornwall to grieve in peace, far from the political spotlight. But Joanna has unleashed a demon: the sisters’ buried past. As old unresolved wounds bleed into the present, a history of abuse comes to light. Forced to confront painful memories, the women’s secrets and lies collide in a shattering, unbearably moving climax in a cat sanctuary. From the bestselling author of Notes from an Exhibition, told in the very different voices of its three female characters, The Cat Sanctuary is an ultimately redemptive tale about family and forgiveness and the love and steadfast devotion needed to find grace.
