In the North American Confederacy . . . People are free--really free. Free to do as they please, whether it be starting a business, running for elected office, or taking target practice in the back forty. There's not a whole lot of government, nor is there a lot of crime, because everyone who wants to carries a gun, and isn't afraid to use it. But someone has bombed the Endicott Building, killing hundreds of people, and Win Bear, the only licensed detective in the confederacy, has to find out who did this dastardly deed, and why. Because whoever did it has already shown their willingness to commit more terrorist acts, no matter how many people are hurt. And that can't go on, or soon the confederacy will be just as the bad old United States--and that is something they want to avoid at all costs.

DAMAGE FUN! The American Military Zone, Germany. 1973. - The Oil Crisis is in full swing. The Cold War is ticking over merrily. English-born, nine-year-old, Irish-German Fergal's parents are trying to kill each other, his older sister tortures him inventively for points, school shelters deranged teachers, and, to top it all off, Fergal has just been diagnosed with SitMut by a mad German doctor who explains that SitMut is Situation Dependent Mutation or Shapeshifting Under Stress, which doesn't mean Fergal needs to be put down as he can be used for scientific experiments. - Such chaos is just not on! Fergal considers himself the epitome of an Englishman who is very definitely out of place in Germany. He wants to go back home to England where things are just brilliant, because they were brilliant before his family moved to West Germany for economic reasons, but now his dad's sports car business is in very bad shape. - Escaping is hard when you are nine. There are perks on Germany's old battlefields though! A lot of ammo left over from WWII is still abundant. You just need to know where to look. Fergal and his friends do know where to look! - DAMAGE FUN describes a community still hung over from WWII, where boys really can be boys in their very own utopia of explosions, superb blood-fests, glorious death, and make-believe, until one day reality strikes ...

The American Army in Germany, 1918–1923: Success against the Odds by Dean A. Nowowiejski fills a gap in American military and political history through thorough research and a compelling narrative of the Rhineland occupation. After the armistice ended the fighting on the Western Front in World War I, the US Third Army marched into the American occupation zone around the city of Koblenz, Germany, in December 1918. American forces remained there as part of an “inter-Allied” coalition until early 1923. Nowowiejski reintroduces us to a successful military diplomat, Major General Henry T. Allen, who faced two major challenges: build an efficient army and handle the complexity of working with the Allied powers of France, Britain, and Belgium in the Inter-Allied Rhineland High Commission (IARHC). Allen’s ability to balance the interests of the French with those of the occupied Germans made him an indispensable participant in the High Commission. As the French sought revenge and added security against Germany, Allen moderated their actions with diplomatic skill. When the French sent forces into Germany in 1920 and 1921, Allen ensured that the US zone around Koblenz remained free of French interference. These achievements were without the support of the administration, and Congress had no desire to take part in European affairs. Allen also had to create a competent American army in the Rhineland so that the Allied powers and the Germans would respect American views and interests. He successfully took a large number of new recruits, who replaced World War I combat veterans, and molded them into a professional fighting force. As a result, the American Forces in Germany became an exemplar for the entire US Army and a symbol to the Allies and Germans of American power and resolve. This force competently accomplished the difficult task of postwar occupation according to the highest international standards. The US administration made the decision in 1922 to radically cut back the size of Allen’s army, and in 1923 to remove all US troops from Germany. The author analyzes this withdrawal as a “missed opportunity” for US leverage on diplomatic developments in Europe.

Of the thousands packed in trains and transported from Viseu to Auschwitz, just a small group survived to see liberation. Among the survivors were Tessler, his father, and two of his brothers. This is their amazing story as Hasidic Jews caught in the chaos and terror of the Holocaust. Tessler's upbringing had emphasized community and family devotion --

The Killing Zone: The United States Wages Cold War in Latin America, Second Edition, is a comprehensive yet concise analysis of U.S. policies in Latin America during the Cold War. Author Stephen G. Rabe, a leading authority in the field, argues that the sense of joy and accomplishment that accompanied the end of the Cold War, the liberation of Eastern Europe, and the collapse of the Soviet Union must be tempered by the realization that Latin Americans paid a ghastly price during the Cold War. Dictatorship, authoritarianism, the methodical abuse of human rights, and campaigns of state terrorism characterized life in Latin America between 1945 and 1989. Countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Chile, El Salvador, and Guatemala endured appalling levels of political violence. The U.S. repeatedly intervened in the internal affairs of Latin American nations in the name of anticommunism, destabilizing constitutional governments and aiding and abetting those who murdered and tortured. Rabe supplements his strong, provocative historical narrative with stories about the fates of ordinary Latin Americans, an extensive chronology, a series of evocative photographs, and an annotated bibliography.

The literature describing social conditions during the post–World War II Allied occupation of Germany has been divided between seemingly irreconcilable assertions of prolonged criminal chaos and narratives of strict martial rule that precluded crime. In The Art of Occupation, Thomas J. Kehoe takes a different view on this history, addressing this divergence through an extensive, interdisciplinary analysis of the interaction between military government and social order. Focusing on the American Zone and using previously unexamined American and German military reports, court records, and case files, Kehoe assesses crime rates and the psychology surrounding criminality. He thereby offers the first comprehensive exploration of criminality, policing, and both German and American fears around the realities of conquest and potential resistance, social and societal integrity, national futures, and a looming threat from communism in an emergent Cold War. The Art of Occupation is the fullest study of crime and governance during the five years from the first Allied incursions into Germany from the West in September 1944 through the end of the military occupation in 1949. It is an important contribution to American and German social, military, and police histories, as well as historical criminology.

The success of the occupation program will be an important factor in the achievement of a just and lasting peace. Success in achieving our objectives in the occupied areas, in turn, depends, to no small extent, upon the understanding and full support of the American people, whose opinions are reflected in our foreign policy. This nation was conceived on the principle that every man should have a loud voice in the shaping of his own destiny. Effective participation in the formulation and administration of policies worthy of the American traditions, requires that each citizen take an active and intelligent interest in world affairs and acquaint himself with the nature of international problems and the implications which these problems may have on the future peace of the world. The series of articles reprinted in this pamphlet is intended to provide the American people with the background data necessary for the creation of an informed public opinion concerning the political and administrative pattern of the occupation policy of the United States. Contents include: the responsibilities of the Office of the Assistant Secretary of State for Occupied Areas; machinery for making and executing policy in the occupied countries: Germany, Austria, Japan, and Korea; the beginnings of self-government in the American zone of Germany; and the United States in the Allied Administration of Austria.
