Описание: Elvis Presley stands tall as perhaps the supreme icon of 20th-century U.S. culture. But he was perceived to be deeply un-American in his early years as his controversial adaptation of rhythm and blues music and gyrating on-stage performances sent shockwaves through Eisenhower's conservative America and far beyond.
This book explores Elvis Presley's global transformation from a teenage rebel figure into one of the U.S.'s major pop-cultural embodiments from a historical perspective. It shows how Elvis's rise was part of an emerging transnational youth culture whose political impact was heavily conditioned by the Cold War. As well as this, the book analyses Elvis's stint as G.I. soldier in West Germany, where he acted as an informal ambassador for the so-called American way of life and was turned into a deeply patriotic figure almost overnight. Yet, it also suggests that Elvis's increasingly synonymous identity with U.S. culture ultimately proved to be a double-edged sword, as the excesses of his superstardom and personal decline seemingly vindicated long-held stereotypes about the allegedly materialistic nature of U.S. society.
Tracing Elvis's story from his unlikely rise in the 1950s right up to his tragic death in August 1977, this book offers a riveting account of changing U.S. identities during the Cold War, shedding fresh light on the powerful role of popular music and consumerism in shaping images of the United States during the cultural struggle between East and West.

With Soviet troops advancing in April 1945, Germany's population was in a panic. A rising torrent of refugees poured westward through the German provinces, fleeing before the Soviet steamroller.
The Russians felt the time had come to seize and smash Berlin, the last lair of the fascist beast. Everyone in Germany knew that the hour of retribution had struck, including Franz Kabel, who was living with his father and mother on their stud farm near the village of Neubeck on the Berlin-Hamburg highway.
This story follows Kabel as he's raised under fascism and then communism. Surviving is a struggle, and he eventually decides to join the outside world in search of freedom.
Since the fall of communism, Russia has been reduced to a regional power, but the current regime wants to regain its former might--and millions of people continue to suffer in communist and fascist countries.
Gain a new understanding of how we must remain vigilant to stop the advancement of totalitarianism with this work for everyone that loves freedom.
