Dos cronistas argentinos viajaron a la península coreana sin cruzarse –uno al norte, el otro al sur– y contrastaron visiones sobre cómo se vive el último capítulo de la Guerra Fría. Corea del Norte llevó la idea del comunismo a un insólito sistema cuasi monárquico basado en la...

In December 1937, in the capital of China, one of the most brutal massacres in the long annals of wartime barbarity occurred. The Japanese army swept into the ancient city of Nanking and within weeks not only looted and burned the defenseless city but systematically raped, tortured and murdered more than 300,000 Chinese civilians. Amazingly, the story of this atrocity- one of the worst in world history- continues to be denied by the Japanese government.

For decades, a major piece of World War II history has gone virtually unwritten. The war began in China two full years before Hitler invaded Poland, and China eventually became the fourth great ally, partner to the United States, the Soviet Union, and Great Britain. Yet its drama of invasion, resistance, slaughter, and political intrigue remains little known in the West.

The saga of the flags on Iwo Jima has fascinated America for decades. Hammel himself grew up in the company of WWII veterans and has always been intrigued by the photo of the flag, which became a powerful symbol of patriotism and national pride. But the story of how the flag got there, and even the identity of the soldiers in the photo, has been muddied by history. Eric Hammel here sets the record straight, viewing complex events through the lens of the story of the infantry company in which all the flag raisers served.

Il nostro destino è scritto nelle carte geografiche, e nella loro storia. Ogni crisi vicina e lontana ci costringe a capire la fisicità del mondo in cui viviamo. La geografia e la storia come le abbiamo studiate sui banchi di scuola non ci bastano più. Dobbiamo guardare "oltre", penetrare il significato nascosto delle carte geografiche, incrociare il paesaggio terrestre con la storia delle civiltà. Ci servono mappe intelligenti per orientarci a capire dove siamo ora, e dove andremo domani. La storia antica riappare negli atlanti, come una trama invisibile che si ripete.

This book tells the story of Kazuo Odachi who—in 1943, when he was just 16 years-old—joined the Imperial Japanese Navy to become a pilot. A year later, he was unknowingly assigned to the Kamikaze Special Attack Corps—a group of airmen whose mission was to sacrifice their lives by crashing planes into enemy ships. Their call sign was "ten dead, zero alive." This book offers a new perspective on these infamous suicide pilots. It is not a chronicle of war, nor is it a collection of research papers compiled by scholars. It is a transcript of Odachi's words.

Growing up on a farm in Ohio, George always preferred being outdoors and exploring. This made school a challenge, but his hunting, fishing, and trapping skills helped put food on his family's table. As a poor teenager living in a rough area, he got into regular brawls, and he found holding down a job hard because of his wanderlust. After working out West with the CCC, he decided that joining the Marines offered him the opportunity for adventure plus three square meals a day; so he and his brother joined the Corps in 1941.

On March 8, 1421, the largest fleet the world had ever seen set sail from China. Its mission was "to proceed all the way to the ends of the earth to collect tribute from the barbarians beyond the seas" and unite the whole world in Confucian harmony. When it returned in October 1423, the emperor...

「私は、いろいろな懊悩、いろいろな煩悶、そういうものに苦しめられると、いつもそれを振り切って旅へ出た。

In 1945 the United States and Japan fought the largest and most devastating land battle of their war in the Pacific, a month-long struggle for the city of Manila. It was a key piece of the campaign to retake control of the Philippine Islands, which itself signified the culmination of the war, breaking the back of Japanese strategic power and sealing its outcome. In The Battle of Manila, Nicholas Sarantakes offers the first in-depth account of this crucial campaign from the American, Japanese, and, significantly, Filipino perspective.

해양과 대륙의 충돌로 해석하는 임진왜란은 한반도에 어떤 의미를 던지는가? 이후 동아시아는 어떻게 흘러가는가? 이 책은 동아시아를 보는 일반적인 통념과 전혀 다른 결론을 보여준다. 동서양을 막론하고 해양과 대륙이라는 양대 세력이 다투면서 문명과 역사가 바뀌었다는 주장은 많았다. 다만 그 배경이 한반도를 포함한 동아시아이고, 임진왜란부터 태평양전쟁까지 일본이라는 해양 세력이 주축이 되어 전개되는 것을 보면 생소함을 넘어 거부감이 들지도 모른다. 그러나 이어령 전 문화부 장관도 말했듯이, 한국은 해양과 대륙 사이에 있는 반도 국가로서 그 역할이 점차 커지고 있다. 21세기 한국에 걸맞은 역할이 필요하다. 대륙 일변의 역사에서 벗어나 해양을 중심으로 동아시아를 본다면, 당신은 오늘날까지 연속하는 해양과 대륙의 패권 대결을 현명하게 바라볼 수 있을 것이다.

Scions of a once-great southern Chinese family that produced the tutor of the last emperor, Jun and Hong were each other’s best friends until, in their twenties, they were separated at the end of the Chinese Civil War. One became a model Communist, the other a model capitalist. On Taiwan, Jun married a Nationalist general, established a trading company, and emigrated to the United States. On the Communist mainland, Hong built her medical career under a cloud of suspicion about her family and survived two waves of “re-education” before she was acclaimed for her achievements.

江戸時代に各地を治めていた藩主は、明治四年の廃藩置県によって国元から切り離されて強制的に東京住まいとなった。戊辰戦争で勝った大名も負けた大名も一緒くたに、領地は没収され、家臣は解散させられた

In early 1942, the Imperial Japanese Army and Navy were advancing on all fronts, humiliating Allied forces throughout the Pacific. In a matter of months, Japan had conquered an area larger than Hitler's empire at its apex. Hawaiians and Australians feared a future under Hirohito. The fate of half of mankind was hanging in the balance.

Though scarcely mentioned in the world of early 21st century politics, Manchuria represented a key region of Asia during the first half of the 20th century. Once the heartland of the fierce Manchu empire, this northeastern Chinese region's rich natural resources made it a prize for nations in the process of entering the modern age, and three ambitious nations in the midst of such a transformation lay close enough to Manchuria to attempt to claim it: Japan, Russia, and China.
