Looking at beazley j attic red figure vase painters This book is a comprehensive review of Athenian Figure painted pottery.

There is no doubting the fact that there was an American intelligence failure in December 1941, as the Japanese Pacific Fleet managed to cross the Pacific and attack the American Fleet based at Pearl Harbour without being intercepted or even detected. The question remains as to whether the American failure was one of collection or analysis and this is a point which David Kahn and Roberta Wohlstetter come to very different conclusions about. Whilst Kahn advocates the view that the American fai...

The book is at its best when is put together individual stories of little known characters who played decisive roles in the history of US interventions. Kinzer explains why the U.S. government has pursued these operations and why so many of them have had disastrous long-term consequences, making the book: "Overthrow" a cautionary tale that serves as an urgent warning as the United States seeks to define its role in the modern world. "The Imperial Era", is framed by the rise of American power ...
The strike at the Lawrence textile involved immigrant employees in Lawrence, in 1912, that was spearheaded by the industrial employees of the world. The strike took place after mill owners threatened to lower wages of its workers after the passage of a bill that shortened the work week. This strike is mostly known as the "bread and the roses" strike. The account of the Lawrence Strike that I find to be the most credible is the Watson's account. This is because, this account explains all the p...
The current political upheaval being experienced in Northern Africa can be traced to the varying historical relationships that existed in the many Saharan tribes. Before being colonized by Spain in 1974, there was no supra tribal authority linking the many tribes that inhabited the region. However, as Lehtinen (2000) noted, certain Saharan tribes recognized the religiousness of Moroccan dynasties, descendants of the prophet, based on personal loyalty (bei'a) to the Sultan (p.168-169). The now...
There will always be wars fought in this world. Since the beginning of time man has punished one another with the sickening atrocity called war. In the summer of 1914 a new type of war emerged in the European theater. This war would be set off by a 19 year old Serbian nationalist named Gavrilo Princip (Willmott page number?). This kid was considered frail and weak by the other nationalist with whom Gavrilo tried to join. The refusal by the nationalist leaders helped fuel him to do something b...
