Описание: From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Black Flags, the thrilling unknown story of America's mission in Syria: to find and destroy Syria's chemical weapons and keep them out of the hands of the Islamic State In August 2012, Syrian president Bashar al-Assad was clinging to power in a vicious civil war. When secret intelligence revealed that the dictator might resort to using chemical weapons, President Obama warned that doing so would cross "a red line." Assad did it anyway, bombing the Damascus suburb of Ghouta with sarin gas, killing hundreds of civilians and forcing Obama to decide if he would mire America in another unpopular Middle Eastern war. When Russia offered to broker the removal of Syria's chemical weapons, Obama leapt at the out. So begins an electrifying race to find, remove, and destroy 1,300 tons of chemical weapons in the midst of a raging civil war. The extraordinary little-known effort is a triumph for the Americans, but soon Russia's long game becomes clear: it will do anything to preserve Assad's rule. As America's ability to control events in Syria shrinks, the White House learns that ISIS, building its caliphate in Syria's war-tossed territory, is seeking chemical weapons for itself, with an eye to attacking the West. Red Line is a classic Joby Warrick true-life thriller: a character-driven narrative with a cast of heroes and villains, including weapons hunters, politicians, doctors, diplomats, and spies. Drawing on astonishing original reporting, Warrick reveals how the United States embarked on a bold adventure to prevent one catastrophe but could not avoid a tragic chain of events that empowered America's enemies.

Название: Before Us Lies the Timber: The Segregated High School of Montgomery County, Maryland 1927-1960 ISBN: 0935437622 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780935437621 Издательство: Неизвестно Цена: 20690.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: In 1927, forty students about to enter the eighth grade arrived, along with their teacher, to open the doors to their small, two-room schoolhouse for the first time. There were already ten public high schools in Montgomery County, Maryland. But these students weren't allowed to attend any of them because of the color of their skin. As a result of aggressive determination and tireless persistence by Montgomery County School Board pioneers, Rockville Colored High School, became the first high school in the county for African-American boys and girls eager to continue their education. Finally, these students had a school of their own and could finally see the hope and opportunity that a secondary education offered. Struggling through economic, social, and transportation challenges, they journeyed towards their diplomas. The first class chose as their motto "Before Us Lies the Timber--Let Us Build," reflecting their dreams for the future. Due to economic circumstances, only nine of the original forty students finished. Yet, over the next 29 years, the population of black county residents able to earn a high school education became so large that, twice, new schools had to be built to accommodate them--first, Lincoln High School replaced Rockville Colored High, and later Carver High School replaced Lincoln High. The students in these years were given the chance to live their lives doing the things that all teenagers do. They founded a National Honor Society chapter, elected May Day Queens, and formed school baseball and basketball teams. They crammed for finals, wrote farewell poems for their beloved teachers, and marched to "Pomp and Circumstance" at commencement. The author was himself a graduate of Lincoln High in 1945. Warrick S. Hill has assembled a wealth of not just historical information, but personal stories as well. Each graduating class is given its own commemorative chapter, recreating, year by year, the trials, challenges, and accomplishments of these unique students attending the high school they loved. The histories chronicled in this book will help you not only to learn what African-Americans in Montgomery County went through, but will keep their memories alive for future generations.
