This book, the first full account of Japan's financial history and the Japanese gold standard in the pivotal years before World War II, provides a new perspective on the global political dynamics of the era by placing Japan, rather than Europe, at the center of the story. Focusing on the fall of liberalism in Japan in late 1931 and the global politics of money that were at the center of the crisis, Mark Metzler asks why successive Japanese governments from 1920 to 1931 carried out policies that deliberately induced deflation and depression. His search for answers stretches from Edo to London to the ragged borderlands of the Japanese empire and from the eighteenth century to the 1950s, integrating political and monetary analysis to shed light on the complex dynamics of money, empire, and global hegemony. His detailed and broad ranging account illuminates a range of issues including Japan's involvement in the economic dynamics that shook interwar Europe, the character of U.S. isolationism, and the rise of fascism as an international phenomenon.

Everybody knows the controversial 1962 film of The Manchurian Candidate starring Frank Sinatra and Angela Lansbury, even though it was taken out of circulation for twenty-five years after JFK’s assassination. Equally controversial on publication, and just as timely today, is Richard Condon’s original novel. First published in 1959, at the height of cold war paranoia, The Manchurian Candidate is a terrifying and suspenseful political thriller featuring Sergeant Raymond Shaw, ex-prisoner of war, Medal of Honor winner, American hero . . . and brainwashed assassin. Condon’s expert manipulation of the book’s multiple themes—from anticommunist hysteria to megalomaniacal motherhood—makes this one of the most entertaining, and enduring, books of the era.

!1: Best Buy This book is the classic conspiracy story and certainly an unusual one. who could imagine a plot where communists and neo Maccarthyists get together to destabilize the US political establishment, for their own different reasons. The message it sends is that the so-called Maccarthyists in the USA were in fact the enemies of America and not champions of democracy and other values the USA would like to promote.the characters in the book are certainly interesting and there is avery "noir" ambiance throughout the story. the message that comes accross is that one should never look at the obvious, there are dark forces at play. The main character Raymond Shaw is the clue which to the wider conspiracy. when I first saw the first movie version of this book, It fascinated me and I thoguht of it as one of the best thrillers I ever saw. I saw the movie again many years later in a New York cinema. the second version with Denzil Washington is nowhere as good and its attempt to place the story in a modern context rather than the cold war setting is in my view not a good idea. The mandchurian candidate is definitely a book that I recommend to anyone who like political thrillers.

What sets "George Washington's Sacred Fire" apart from all previous works on this man for the ages, is the exhaustive fifteen years of Dr. Peter Lillback's research, revealing a unique icon driven by the highest of ideals. Only do George Washington's own writings, journals, letters, manuscripts, and those of his closest family and confidants reveal the truth of this awe-inspiring role model for all generations. Dr. Lillback paints a picture of a man, who, faced with unprecedented challenges and circumstances, ultimately drew upon his persistent qualities of character - honesty, justice, equity, perseverence, piety, forgiveness, humility, and servant leadership, to become one of the most revered figures in world history. George Washington set the cornerstone for what would become one of the most prosperous, free nations in the history of civilization. Through this book, Dr. Lillback, assisted by Jerry Newcombe, will reveal to the reader a newly inspirational image of General and President George Washington.

!1: Best Buy As a conservative Christian I believe this book is very well written, however in the larger scheme of things it only matters to George Washington whether or not he was a Christian. I know conservative christians have a stake in showing some of our founding fathers to be Christian but when you get down to it George needs Jesus far more than Jesus needs George. on Sale!
