Book Description
Excerpt from Donald Thompson in Russia A few years before I had been husking corn in Kansas. For a few seconds I could not speak a word. The first thing that came into my mind was this King Albert, I said, I have never met a king before in my life. (it was hard enough for me to hold a pair of jacks in a poker game.) I do not know what to say except to tell you that I am here and what I want to do. I then ex plained that the world at large would believe the stories of Belgium's heroic fight against the Ger mans, but the stories of German atrocities were so awful that the people would doubt them. If he had photographs, however, the world could see what the German armies were doing in Belgium. The result was that I was given the famous laissez passer in Belgium. It was addressed to the armies of Belgium and to the civil authorities, command ing them to allow Donald C. Thompson to photo graph, and to come and go as he pleased, and for them to assist him in every way possible. This was signed by King Albert and countersigned by General De Guys, commander-in-chief of the Belgian forces.

Assignment Moscow
Author: James Rodgers
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 0755601165
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 281
Book Description
The story of western correspondents in Russia is the story of Russia's attitude to the west. Russia has at different times been alternately open to western ideas and contacts, cautious and distant or, for much of the twentieth century, all but closed off. From the revolutionary period of the First World War onwards, correspondents in Russia have striven to tell the story of a country known to few outsiders. Their stories have not always been well received by political elites, audiences, and even editors in their own countries-but their accounts have been a huge influence on how the West understands Russia. Not always perfect, at times downright misleading, they have, overall, been immensely valuable. In Assignment Moscow, former foreign correspondent James Rodgers analyses the news coverage of Russia throughout history, from the coverage of the siege of the Winter Palace and a plot to kill Stalin, to the Chernobyl explosion and the Salisbury poison scandal.

Americans in a Splintering Europe
Author: Mark Strecker
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476634513
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 204
Book Description
World War I began in August 1914--the United States did not enter the conflict until April 1917. During those nearly three years of neutrality, a small number of Americans did experience the horrors of the war zones of Europe. Some ran for their lives as refugees while others, like journalists and doctors, headed toward the fighting. Missionaries in Persia (Iran) and the Ottoman Empire became witnesses to both the Armenian genocide and the persecution of Assyrian Christians. This history focuses on the war from the perspective of ordinary people who found themselves in the midst of what was then the most destructive and bloody war in history.

The Development of Russian Evangelical Spirituality
Author: Gregory L. Nichols
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1610971604
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 397
Book Description
Today, many evangelicals in the Russian-speaking world emphasize sanctification as a distinctive mark of their Christian faith. This is a unique characteristic, particularly in the European context. Their historic tapestry has been woven from a number of threads that originated in the second half of the nineteenth century. Missionary efforts of the German Baptists, a revival sparked by a British evangelist, and a pietistic awakening among the Mennonites in the South converged to form a tapestry that displays Protestant, Baptist, and Anabaptist heritage. Ivan Kargel uniquely participated in the formation and ministry of each of these threads. His life spans from Tsarist Russia to the Soviet Union. Kargel refused to adhere to a systematic view of theology. Instead, he urged believers to go to Scripture and draw from the riches of a life united with Christ. Kargel's influence today is keenly felt across the Russian-speaking evangelical world as they seek to identify the roots of their spiritual identity. This book examines the influences on Ivan Kargel and offers insights into how his life and work are expressed in the tapestry of Russian evangelical spirituality.
