The Reminiscences of Rear Adm. Ernest M. Eller, USN (Ret.), vol. 2

The Reminiscences of Rear Adm. Ernest M. Eller, USN (Ret.), vol. 2

Naval Institute Press
1976
sidottu
In the first of three volumes by a former Director of Naval History, Admiral Eller discusses his boyhood, midshipman years leading to graduation from the Naval Academy in 1925, duty in the battleships USS Utah (BB-31) and USS Texas (BB-35), and the submarine USS S-33 (SS-138). In the 1930s, he served two tours on the faculty of the Naval Academy, where he made the study of leadership a project. A characteristic of this volume is the admiral's ability to place events in the narrative into the broader context of history. For instance, in his discussion of duty with the U.S. Asiatic Fleet, he provides detailed descriptions of various places he visited while on leave in the Far East. In telling of his Utah service, he discusses the ship's role in enhancing fleet antiaircraft gunnery as World War II approached. The focus of nearly all of this second volume of Admiral Eller's oral history is World War II. He began with a tour of duty as an observer with the Royal Navy, including service on board the battlecruiser HMS Hood and battleship HMS Prince of Wales before they fought the German battleship Bismarck. When hostilities began for the United States he was gunnery officer of the aircraft carrier USS Saratoga (CV-3) and was on board when she was torpedoed. In the spring of 1942 he reported to the Pacific Fleet staff of Admiral Chester and served there throughout much of the rest of the war, working mostly in the gunnery section. He was both eyewitness and participant in a great deal of the planning and execution of the South Pacific and Central Pacific campaigns. Besides operating with Admiral Nimitz in Hawaii he made several trips to the forward area to see battle conditions firsthand. At war's end he commanded the attack transport USS Clay (APA-39). In the postwar period he had public information duty in San Francisco and then in the Navy Department in Washington. The concluding portion of Admiral Eller's memoir provides convincing evidence of the versatility that is called for in a Navy unrestricted line officer. Among other things, Eller's skills included use of oral and written communication on behalf of the service, diplomatic and strategic ability in dealing with overseas nations, and seamanship and tactical ability on board ship. What also comes through repeatedly is Eller's proactive nature in getting things going—ranging from trips throughout the Middle East to kick-starting many worthwhile projects concerned with naval history. Perhaps Admiral Eller is best remembered today for his longtime leadership and stewardship as Director of Naval History and Curator in the Office of Chief of Naval Operations, a role he fulfilled from 1956 to 1970. "As the head of the Naval History Division, he was clearly energetic," observes Paul Stillwell in his preface to this final volume. Admiral Eller "not only served as honcho for a wide variety of projects, but also he raised funds and performed hands-on work in many cases of gathering materials, editing manuscripts, and providing answers to the many questions that came to his office. The Navy Museum in the Washington Navy Yard stands as a tangible legacy of Eller's stewardship.

The Acceptance of Capital Punishment. A Comparison of Ernest J. Gaine's Novel "A Lesson Before Dying" and Today's Views

The Acceptance of Capital Punishment. A Comparison of Ernest J. Gaine's Novel "A Lesson Before Dying" and Today's Views

Pre-University Paper from the year 2015 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 11, Braunschweig Kolleg, language: English, abstract: By discussing the novel "A Lesson Before Dying" by Ernest J. Gaines the question should be approached to what extent capital punishment is accepted in the universe of the novel in comparison to the modern time in the United States. The history of capital punishment in the United States of America goes back to the beginning of the 17th century. At the time of the colonial settlement in the USA, the British colonial rulers brought this new aspect of punishment from their old native country, where they had carried out executions for centuries even for minor offenses. In 1608, the British Captain George Kendall was executed in Virginia because he had been spying for Spain. He became the first victim of capital punishment on American ground. Capital punishment in the U.S. was first put into question during the 18th century by philosophers like Beccaria, Voltaire or Montesquieu, who were against capital punishment. Set in the fictional town of Bayonne, Louisiana, the narrator Grant Wiggins tells the story of Jefferson, a 21-year-old man, who is wrongfully accused and convicted of the robbery and murder of Alcee Grope, a white storekeeper, and is sentenced to death by electrocution. The challenges an African-American citizen had to face in the middle of the 20th century, a time when it was both legal and endemic in the South to have racial segregation, a time when African-American citizen could barely hope for recognition of their humanity, a time where race and poverty affected people in the criminal justice system, in particular in capital punishment, were racism and poverty. Those topics will be discussed alongside the question, if the views portrayed in the novel differ with those we have today.

ho coinvolto in un dialogo su argomenti a lui cari: le donne, il coraggio, la morte, il valore letterario dei protagonisti dei suoi romanzi, i viaggi e altro ancora.Ogni argomento ambientato nei luoghi che gli erano cari in vita: l'Africa, la Spagna, Cuba, ma anche Milano e Fossalta e Parigi.Non poche volte ho pensato che i suoi biografi, nel giudizio, fossero influenzati da sentimenti di affetto o antipatia o altro, cos ho chiesto a lui il suo pensiero e le sue motivazioni all'azione; ma non essendo un biografo non mi sono sentito obbligato a rispettare sempre le verit storiche. Volevo soltanto provare a conoscerlo di pi , e dopo aver letto molto di quello che hanno scritto su di lui l'ultima alternativa rimasta stata chiedere direttamente all'interessato.

The Interwoven Lives of Sigmund, Anna and W. Ernest Freud: Three Generations of Psychoanalysis

The Interwoven Lives of Sigmund, Anna and W. Ernest Freud: Three Generations of Psychoanalysis

The Interwoven Lives of Sigmund, Anna and W. Ernest Freud is a biography of three members of the Freud family in which the central thread is the life and work of W. Ernest Freud, the only Freud grandchild to become a psychoanalyst. He was also the little boy that played 'fort da', the game Freud described and interpreted in Beyond the Pleasure Principle (1920). Unlike many biographies that emphasize the independent or frankly heroic efforts of the subject, this biography demonstrates the interpersonal and historical contexts, which influenced to the life and work of the main subject. It traces the interwoven lives and psychoanalytic contributions of Sigmund Freud, his daughter Anna and his grandson Ernest, from Ernest's birth in 1914 until his death in 2008. Also interwoven are the friends, family relations and world events that touched their lives. In Beyond the Pleasure Principle (1920) Sigmund Freud described the game of an eighteen-month-old child, his grandson Ernest, who played with a wooden reel on the end of a string. Throwing the reel into his curtained cot he said 'fort' meaning 'gone', in German. Pulling the string and bringing the reel back he said 'da', meaning 'there'. Freud saw in this spontaneous and repetitive game, a way for the boy to manage the trauma of abandonment that he experienced each time his mother left the apartment to do her errands. As ill fate would have it, the rest of Ernest's life is a tragic story of bitter losses and the vicissitudes of a troubled man in a troubled world. But it is also the story of a troubled man who would time and again rally his resources and find the courage to love, to work and to carry on. The story begins at the height of Freud's career, the beginning of Anna Freud's psychoanalytic training, the beginning of the First World War and the birth of little Ernest. It takes us through the early deaths of Ernest's mother and little brother, Ernest's psychoanalysis conducted by his aunt Anna, the invasion of Austria by the Nazis, Ernest's emigration to England, and the death of his Grandpa Sigmund. It describes his hardships in wartime England, the Anna Freud-Melanie Klein controversies and the horrors of the holocaust. Following the war it details Ernest's marriage, psychoanalytic training, his mentorship under his aunt Anna, the establishment of his private practice, the birth of his son, his work with his aunt Anna at the Hampstead Clinic, and the development of his special interests in infant observation and the psychological aspects of neonatal intensive care. This biography was written by a clinician and is expected to be of interest to clinicians and others interested in psychoanalytic history.
