"'A man of genius, a man of destiny,' was Churchill's epitaph for the most original and controversial warrior of the twentieth century, Orde Wingate. Extolled by American and Israeli allies, grudgingly admired by Italian and Japanese foes, the iconoclastic Wingate fought his bitterest campaigns against the hierarchy of his own British army, which he led to its first victories on two continents during World War II. Even before, he had gained enduring fame. Like his cousin, Lawrence of Arabia, Wingate developed the embryo of a guerrilla army in the Middle East; in its ranks were the founding fathers of Israel, whom he was ready to lead against the Nazis. Rebuffed by the British high command, he worked himself into the service of the emperor of Ethiopia, a king on crusade to regain his kingdom from Mussolini's empire--an impossibly romantic mission in which only Wingate believed. Closely escaping death, Wingate then embarked on what British generals thought to be another sacrificial adventure--to oust the seemingly invincible Japanese army from Burma. Wingate was tossed like a grenade into the Japanese rear, leading a suicide expedition to cut Japanese supply lines while the British army recovered from defeat. He called his patchwork forces 'the Chindits,' a light brigade that became the American model for Merrill's Marauders. He named his behind-the-lines strategy 'long-range penetration,' the forerunner of today's extended battlefield and air-mobile warfare. At the same time Wingate was the first general since Hannibal to use elephants, the last to walk into battle and kill with his own hands. By Whatever methods, he won; against whatever odds, he prevailed--until his final, mysterious disappearance. Mixing historical fact with novelistic technique, [this book] is a tour de force of military adventure writing and a fascinating literary sojourn into the life of an enigmatic and haunting character."--Dust jacket.

'Born of War' examines the human rights of children born of wartime rape and sexual exploitation in worldwide conflict zones. Detailing the impacts of armed conflict on these children's survival, protection and membership rights, the text suggests that these children constitute a particularly vulnerable category in conflict zones.

This volume presents research from an international, interdisciplinary, and intersectoral research project in which 15 doctoral researchers explored a range of issues related to the life-course experiences of children born of war in 20th-century conflicts. Children Born of War (CBOW), children fathered by foreign soldiers and born to local mothers during and after armed conflicts, have long been neglected in the research of the social consequences of war. Based on research projects completed under the auspices of the Horizon2020-funded international and interdisciplinary research and training network CHIBOW (www.chibow.org), this book examines the psychological and social impact of war on these children. It focusses on three separate but interrelated themes: firstly, it explores methodological and ethical issues related to research with war-affected populations in general and children born of war in particular. Secondly, it presents innovative historical research focussing specifically on geopolitical areas that have hitherto been unexplored; and thirdly, it addresses, from a psychological and psychiatric perspective, the challenges faced by children born of war in post-conflict communities, including stigmatisation, discrimination, within the significant context of identity formation when faced with contested memories of volatile post-war experiences. The book offers an insight into the social consequences of war for those children associated with the ‘enemy’ by virtue of their direct biological link.

Born to War is intended to, through my eyes as a Berlin child, point out how easily freedom can be lost, and the pain and suffering required to regain that lost freedom. It's a message that war does not distinguish between guilt and innocence. The pain and suffering of war is ladled out equally to all in its path. Ours was a constant struggle for survival, for food, water, and warmth, the bare necessities of life. For many months we lived above ground when possible, and below ground when necessary, as hundreds of Allied aircraft dropped bombs on the city both day and night. Fear and fury were my reality during the many hours spent in the musty and uncomfortable bomb shelter. I had not even the luxury of hope for better times, for I had no concept of better times. I knew only war, and the suffering and misery that it brought. The war would end, but misery lasted long after. And death was to remain a constant companion to Berliners due to starvation, hypothermia, suicide and other war-related circumstances. I lost many people dear to me during and in the wake of WWII. Yet I was one of the lucky children born to war who survived. And I survived largely due to the love and care of "Oma," my grandmother, to whom this work is mainly dedicated. It remains very difficult for me to imagine the anguish she must have suffered in that terrible period.

An act of terror hits American soil and high-tech mayhem rocks the globe in this explosive thriller by an acclaimed author and military veteran. The first target is a church in Mobile, Alabama. The bomb is a savage act of domestic terror that will earn the respect of jihadists across the world. Especially the deranged leader of Al Shabab. The bombing has also drawn the attention of the FBI, CIA, NSA—and special operative William Parker. Recovering from a tragic loss, Parker is not ready to return to active duty. But when he learns that the terrorists possess anti-ship missiles—he must destroy the enemy . . . or deal with the terrifying consequences. Time is running out. Missiles are ready to launch. And the free world is just one madman away from total destruction. Praise for Anderson Harp’s Retribution “Harp knows his stuff.” —Brad Meltzer “Tense and authentic--reading this book is like living a real-life mission.” —Lee Child “An outstanding thriller . . . Harp writes with complete authenticity.” —Douglas Preston “Reminds me of Tom Clancy at his finest.” —James Rollins

Born of War in Colombia addresses why people born of conflict-related sexual violence remain unseen within transitional justice agendas. In Colombia, there are generations of children born of conflict-related sexual violence across the country. Whispers of their presence have traveled outside their communities. They also exist within the country’s domestic reparations program, which entitles them to reparations. Drawing on an immersive feminist ethnography with a community that endured a paramilitary confinement, the book reveals how a past-oriented and harm-centered model of transitional justice has converged with a restricted notion of gendered victimhood and the patriarchal politics of reproduction to render the bodies and experiences of people born of conflict-related sexual violence unintelligible to those seeking to understand and address the consequences of war in Colombia.

Sexual violence and exploitation occur in many conflict zones, and the children born of such acts face discrimination, stigma, and infanticide. Yet the massive transnational network of organizations working to protect war-affected children has, for two decades, remained curiously silent on the needs of this vulnerable population. Focusing specifically on the case of Bosnia-Herzegovina, R. Charli Carpenter questions the framing of atrocity by human rights organizations and the limitations these narratives impose on their response. She finds that human rights groups set their agendas according to certain grievances-the claims of female rape victims or the complaints of aggrieved minorities, for example-and that these concerns can overshadow the needs of others. Incorporating her research into a host of other conflict zones, Carpenter shows that the social construction of rights claims is contingent upon the social construction of wrongs. According to Carpenter, this pathology prevents the full protection of children born of war.

The origins of a transnational adoption strategy that secured the future for Korean-black children The Korean War left hundreds of thousands of children in dire circumstances, but the first large-scale transnational adoption efforts involved the children of American soldiers and Korean women. Korean laws and traditions stipulated that citizenship and status passed from father to child, which made the children of US soldiers legally stateless. Korean-black children faced additional hardships because of Korean beliefs about racial purity, and the segregation that structured African American soldiers’ lives in the military and throughout US society. The African American families who tried to adopt Korean-black children also faced and challenged discrimination in the child welfare agencies that arranged adoptions. Drawing on extensive research in black newspapers and magazines, interviews with African American soldiers, and case notes about African American adoptive families, A War Born Family demonstrates how the Cold War and the struggle for civil rights led child welfare agencies to reevaluate African American men and women as suitable adoptive parents, advancing the cause of Korean transnational adoption.
