Devil's Garden

Devil's Garden

Ralph Peters

Stackpole Books
2004
pokkari
When the headstrong daughter of a U.S. senator disappears in a warravaged country torn between east and west, only a disillusioned American officer possesses the connections and expertise to track her down-while a startling range of enemies don't want the girl to survive. Up against Islamic extremists, unscrupulous oil executives, rogue Russians and treacherous European allies, Lieutenant-colonel Evan Burton undertakes a last, deadly mission--faced with a coup in the streets, opium smugglers in mountain fortresses and even elements within the U.S. government determined to stop him. A Casablanca for the post-Cold War world, The Devil's Garden is a beautifully written, can't-put-it-down thriller grounded in the gritty reality of current events.

Devil's Own Luck: Pegasus Bridge to the Baltic 1944-45

Denis Edwards

Pen Sword Books Ltd
2001
nidottu
Although strictly forbidden to keep diaries, Denis Edwards managed to record his experiences throughout nearly all his time in Europe in 1944-45. He brilliantly conveys what it was like to be facing death, day after day, night after night, with never a bed to sleep in nor a hot meal to go home to. This is warfare in the raw ' brutal, yet humorous, immensely tragic, but sadly, all true.

2009

In 1979, journalist Zuhair al-Jezairy fled Iraq and certain death after openly criticising Saddam's regime. Twenty-five years later he is back, and cautiously celebrating the toppling of the hated Ba'ath Party.

He then sets up a television company and travels all over Iraq, documenting the country's descent into sectarianism and hopeless violence, soon becoming a target himself. Al-Jezairy's first-hand accounts of the looting of Baghdad, the destruction of government buildings, and indiscriminate bombings are a searing, personal and unique account of Iraq after Saddam Hussein.

Devil of the Domestic Sphere

Devil of the Domestic Sphere

Martin Scott C.

sidottu
Drink, in the minds of antebellum temperance reformers, represented the threat of an increasingly urban, industrial world. Contrasting the drunkards' lack of restraint with their own thrift and sobriety, these members of the emerging middle class lay claim to respectability, virtue, and moral leadership. As they sought to legitimate their own authority, reformers also employed temperance literature to propagate middle-class ideas about the nature of women and their role as guardians of the home.Stories of women as innocent victims and loving saviors filled temperance literature. Ministers, novelists, and journalists portrayed wives beaten by drunken husbands; poets and songwriters extolled mothers and sisters who rescued men from demon drink. Yet a strand of misogyny also ran through temperance ideology. Denunciation of women as causes of intemperance and snares for men and celebration of women's victimization often coexisted with a more positive assessment of women's role in the emerging middle class. Unless a woman remained vigilant, she too might succumb to drink, and reformers had very little sympathy for such a fallen angel.By examining the contradictory images of women employed by the antebellum temperance movement, Scott Martin reveals the reformers' commitment not only to social betterment but also to middle-class interests and a particular gender ideology. Martin explores the reasons why more men than women drank, the ways in which society dealt with women who neglected familial and social obligations to become drunkards, and the consequences of women's failure to eradicate male drunkenness."Devil of the Domestic Sphere", the newest addition to NIU Press's "Drugs and Alcohol Series", will be of interest to American historians and historians of women and gender.

Devil's Advocate

Devil's Advocate

Donald Freed

Broadway Play Publishing
2011
nidottu
DEVIL'S ADVOCATE captures an agonizing struggle between General Manuel Noriega and Archbishop Laboa on Christmas Eve, Panama, 1989. "... there are plenty of interpersonal fireworks exploding between the two characters who bring this two-act work alive. But the biggest explosions are reserved for the U.S. military, as this production is set during the Yanqui invasion of Panama in 1989, the so-called 'Operation Just Cause.' That duo of aforementioned characters is Archbishop Jose Sebastian Laboa and General Manuel Antonio Noriega ... the main force generating conflict in DEVIL'S ADVOCATE is none other than politics. Imperialism, covert actions, narco-trafficking, gun running, terrorism, torture, psyops, money laundering, the Panama Canal, the Contras, Fidel, George H W Bush (hell's hottest seat is reserved for this evil genius of mediocrity and his satanic son), et al, form the complex backdrop to a fairly simple plot. During Bush's invasion of Panama, Noriega flees to the Papal Nuncio, the archbishop's residence, to seek - in the immortal words of Quasimodo - sanctuary. There, 'Pineapple Face' (as the pockmarked Noriega was derisively called) confesses his 'sins' to Laboa, who - as the Vatican's Grand Inquisitor - served, literally, as the eponymous 'Devil's Advocate.'" -Ed Rampell, Hollywood Progressive

Broadway Play Publishing

A childless, Latino couple kidnap a young girl in order to create a family, but the little girl has ideas of her own, and when her imaginary friend, the Grinch, comes to life to help her, the couple ends up with far more than they bargained for. A dark, gothic fairy tale for the contemporary world. "New York theatergoers are mostly godless heathens, right? So how is a playwright to evoke genuine otherworldly chills in her audience? Desi Moreno-Penson's new drama, DEVIL LAND, taps into every Gothamite's primal fears by invoking the one all-powerful figure who inspires both terror and awe: the super ... this creepy drama starts off as a more or less ordinary abduction story. The childless Bronx super Americo and his straitlaced, religious wife, Beatriz, kidnap an eccentric 12-year-old neighbor and imprison her in their building's boiler room. Below the surface antics of Americo's growing lecherousness and Beatriz's punitive religiosity, however, an eerier narrative unfolds. The captive child calls upon her 'imaginary' playmate the Grinch and the ancient spirits of the Ta no Amerindians (her Puerto Rican ancestors) to keep her safe and to uncover the couple's many mysteries - like what happened to their real child. Spooky and compelling ... several interludes narrated in Seuss-like rhymed couplets are weirdly effective, the Ta no mythology is handled surely and suggestively, and the play's insistence that we make superstitions as well as sense of the world around us, even today, is spot on. You may never want to check on the boiler again - and anyway, isn't that a job for the super?" -Jessica Branch, Time Out New York "Desi Moreno-Penson's DEVIL LAND may be the scariest new play of the season. It's a modern-day gothic horror story; a thriller whose psychological elements are well-enough fleshed out to be both credible and authentically disturbing. It's a unique evening of theater ..." -Martin Denton, NYTheatre.com
