The Lovett Cent; A Confederate Story
The Confederate cent is not your average story coin. Learn the fascinating story of why Southern leaders ordered their one-cent piece from a northern die sinker at the outbreak of America's Civil War, and why it never became the circulating cent of the Confederacy.
The Moon is Down
Originally published at the zenith of Nazi Germany's power, Steinbeck's fable THE MOON IS DOWN explores the effects of invasion on both the conquered and the conquerors. Occupied by enemy troops, a small, peaceable town comes face-to-face with evil imposed from the outside and betrayal from within the close-knit community. As he delves into the motivations and emotions of the enemy, Steinbeck uncovers profound and often unsettling truths both about war and human nature.
Beyond Boundaries
Documents life among the Kayapo Indians of central Brazil, a fiercely independent tribe, who were forced to become "businessmen" or see their traditional way of life destroyed.
The Hitler Filmography
From the time his Nazi regime launched World War II to the present, Adolf Hitler has frequently been depicted on film. He was largely ridiculed at first, since laughter was a powerful weapon and morale booster for nations at war. Later representations were more somber and realistic, yet Hitler's image never escaped the undertone of scorn. This book concentrates exclusively on portrayals of Hitler in feature films and television miniseries. The filmography covers films with a factual historical storyline, fictional stories, alternate histories, parodies and films where actors playing Hitler have a cameo. Each entry provides production credits, an annotated cast list, an analysis and synopsis of the film, an evaluation of the actor playing Hitler in terms of the strengths and weaknesses of his portrayal, and representative quotations from the film.
We'll Always Have the Movies
An “essential” study of what Americans watched during wartime, and how films shaped their understanding of events (Publishers Weekly). During the highly charged years of World War II, movies perhaps best communicated to Americans who they were and why they were fighting. These films were more than just an explanation of historical events: they asked audiences to consider the Nazi threat; they put a face on both our enemies and allies, and they explored changing wartime gender roles. We’ll Always Have the Movies shows how film after film repeated the narratives, character types, and rhetoric that made the war and each American’s role in it comprehensible. Robert L. McLaughlin and Sall...

Bulan Turun
Bulan Turun muncul di toko buku selama hari-hari perang tersuram bagi Amerika Serikat. Serangan-serangan Hitler yang keji terus merajalela, dan Pertempuran Stalingrad yang menentukan itu masih sembilan atau sepuluh bulan lagi. Jadi wajar saat Bulan Turun terbit belakangan di musim dingin yang kering itu, kritikus lebih tertarik memprediksi potensinya sebagai propaganda daripada menimbang kepantasannya sebagai sastra. Bulan Turun terbit dalam dua kali cetak masing-masing sepuluh ribu kopi, keduanya terjual cepat. Seorang kritikus Norwegia memuji Bulan Turun sebagai “epos bawah tanah Norwegia.” Pendekatan propaganda Steinbeck yang afirmatif dan lunak dalam Bulan Turun memantik pertempuran ...
月亮下去了（中英對照版）
二戰經典作品，刻劃侵略者和被侵略者的心境、衝突和面對方式， 讓今日的你我反思，何謂民主、自由、戰爭和侵略。 「人民不喜歡被征服，所以他們不會屈服。 自由人無法發動戰爭，可是一旦開打，他們戰敗了也能繼續戰鬥。 從眾者只懂追隨領袖，就沒辦法這樣了， 所以永遠是從眾者拿下戰役，而自由人打贏戰爭。」──《月亮下去了》 謹以此書歌頌民主長存。──史坦貝克 ‧故事內容‧ 一天早晨，北歐某個採礦小鎮遭受侵略軍旋風式突襲，立即淪陷了。當極權國家的侵略軍在小鎮廣場奏響勝利的樂音時，民眾和民...
