Americans have learned in elementary school that their country was founded by a group of brave, white, largely British Christians. Modern reinterpretations recognize the contributions of African and indigenous Americans, but the basic premise has persisted. This groundbreaking study fundamentally challenges the traditional national storyline by postulating that many of the initial colonists were actually of Sephardic Jewish and Muslim Moorish ancestry. Supporting references include historical writings, ship manifests, wills, land grants, DNA test results, genealogies, and settler lists that provide for the first time the Spanish, Hebrew, Arabic, and Jewish origins of more than 5,000 surnames, the majority widely assumed to be British. By documenting the widespread presence of Jews and Muslims in prominent economic, political, financial and social positions in all of the original colonies, this innovative work offers a fresh perspective on the early American experience.

Dans la tradition de la Croix-Rouge, l'aide humanitaire apportée aux victimes de conflits armés se présente comme neutre et apolitique. Mais la réalité est plus. Elles peuvent être instrumentalisées par les États et les bailleurs de fonds. À l'épreuve du terrain, la neutralité et l'indépendance revendiquées par les organisations non gouvernementales doivent notamment se plier à des impératifs de coordination et d'efficacité qui les obligent à entretenir des relations ambiguës avec les militaires déployés dans le cadre d'opérations de paix. À partir de l'étude de plusieurs conflits survenus au XXe siècle, cet ouvrage donne des éléments d'information très riches sur la façon dont les institutions humanitaires tentent de gérer de pareils dilemmes.
