The book ""Douglas MacArthur"" by Alfred Steinberg is a comprehensive biography of one of the most iconic figures in American military history. The book delves into the life and career of General Douglas MacArthur, from his upbringing in a military family to his rise through the ranks of the US Army and his tenure as Supreme Commander of Allied Forces in the Pacific during World War II.Steinberg offers a detailed and engaging account of MacArthur's military campaigns, including his controversial decision to leave the Philippines during the early days of World War II and his successful island-hopping strategy in the Pacific. The book also explores MacArthur's complex personality, including his ego, his relationships with other military leaders, and his political ambitions.In addition to his military career, the book also covers MacArthur's post-war role as the military governor of Japan and his eventual dismissal by President Truman during the Korean War. Steinberg's writing is both informative and accessible, making this book a must-read for anyone interested in American military history or the life of one of its most famous generals.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Douglas the Dragon - Omnibus Edition

'Douglas the Dragon' symbolises 'the power of love'. A young orphaned dragon is found and adopted by a young boy and becomes a much-loved dragon in the village. When the boy is killed by a volcano, the dragon is eventually evicted from the community. The dragon spends 50 years in exile sitting upon his volcano of hate and getting angrier and angrier until his anger explodes and he seeks revenge. Old age and death are stages in a person's life that all children find difficult concepts to understand, but this is eased considerably when 'death' is associated with the concept of 'rebirth'. At a time of separation, bereavement or loss, children become more isolated, non-communicative and vulnerable. Allow Douglas to help them 'live again' through his own experiences of illness and near death.

Douglas Sirk

Robert B. Pippin

Bloomsbury Academic

It would be easy to dismiss the films of Douglas Sirk (1897-1987) as brilliant examples of mid-century melodrama with little to say to the contemporary world. Yet Robert Pippin argues that, far from being marginal pieces of sentimentality, Sirk's films are rich with irony, insight and depth. Indeed Sirk's films, often celebrated as classics of the genre, are attempts to subvert rather than conform to rules of conventional melodrama.The visual style, story and characters of films like All That Heaven Allows, Written on the Wind and Imitation of Life are explored to argue for Sirk as an incredibly nuanced moral thinker. Instead of imposing moralising judgements on his characters, Sirk presents them as people who do 'wrong' things often without understanding why or how, creating a complex and unsettling ethics. Pippin argues that it this moral ambiguity and ironic richness enables Sirk to produce films that grapple with important themes such as race, class and gender with real force and political urgency.Douglas Sirk: Filmmaker and Philosopher argues for a filmmaker who was a 'disruptive not restorative' auteur and one who broke the rules in the most interesting and subtle of ways.
