Prewar Shanghai: casinos, brothels, Green Gang racketeers, narcotics syndicates, gun-runners, underground Communist assassins, Comitern secret agents. Frederic Wakeman's masterful study of the most colorful and corrupt city in the world at the time provides a panoramic view of the confrontation and collaboration between the Nationalist secret police and the Shanghai underworld.In detailing the life and politics of China's largest urban center during the Guomindang era, Wakeman covers an array of topics: the puritanical social controls implemented by the police; the regional differences that surfaced among Shanghai's Chinese, the influence of imperialism and Western-trained officials. Parts of this book read like a spy novel, with secret police, torture, assassination; and power struggles among the French, International Settlement, and Japanese consular police within Shanghai.Chiang Kai-shek wanted to prove that the Chinese could rule Shanghai and the country by themselves, rather than be exploited and dominated by foreign powers. His efforts to reclaim the crime-ridden city failed, partly because of the outbreak of war with Japan in 1937, but also because the Nationalist police force was itself corrupted by the city.Wakeman's exhaustively researched study is a major contribution to the study of the Nationalist regime and to modern Chinese urban history. It also shows that twentieth-century China has not been characterized by discontinuity, because autocratic government-whether Nationalist or Communist-has prevailed.

Vadim Zakharovich Rogovin, "Stalin's Terror of 1937-1938: Political Genocide in the USSR"
English | ISBN: 1893638049 | 2009 | 513 pages | PDF | 14 MB
This volume examines the bloodiest period of the Stalinist repression of political opposition in the Soviet Union, debunking the myth that the Great Purges were merely the product of Stalin's paranoia and had no overriding political logic. Through a meticulous examination of original sources, including archival documents only made available for research in the 1990s, Professor Vadim Rogovin argues that the ferocity of the mass repression was directly proportional to the intensity of resistance to Stalin within the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU), particularly the opposition inspired by and associated with the exiled Bolshevik leader Leon Trotsky. Far from Trotsky being a politically isolated figure, as both Stalinist and anti-communist historians have claimed, there was substantial sympathy for his criticism of the Stalin regime in the ranks and even in the leadership of the CPSU, and support for his demands for inner-party democracy, greater social equality and an international orientation to the Bolshevik goal of world revolution. It was this political fact, as Rogovin demonstrates, that accounts for the purge reaching so deeply into the party apparatus, the military, the Komsomol youth movement, and the broader layers of the population. Rogovin bases his analysis on scrupulous research, quoting from newly translated or unpublished documents, including memoirs, meeting minutes, newspaper articles and trial transcripts. He documents the reaction of different social layers to the purges, including workers, peasants, non-party intellectuals and the CPSU rank-and-file. This book includes rarely published photographs of the prison camps, documenting the lives of those labeled by Stalin;enemies of the people. Chronologically, this volume takes up where its predecessor, 1937: Stalin's Year of Terror , left off, with the June 1937 plenum of the Central Committee that followed the purging of the Soviet military command and the execution of Marshal Tukhachevsky and other leading generals. It analyzes such critical events as the Bukharin-Rykov trial, last of the infamous show trials; the massacre of Trotskyists in the Vorkuta slave-labor camp; and the assassination by Stalinist agents of Leon Sedov, Trotsky's son, and other oppositionists outside the Soviet Union. It concludes with an examination of how the purges transformed the CPSU and Soviet society as a whole.

Vadim Z. Rogovin, "1937: Stalin's Year of Terror"
English | ISBN: 0929087771 | | 584 pages | PDF | 15 MB
The first major study by a Russian Marxist Historian of the Stalinist purges which are often collectively reffered to by the year they reached their greatest intensity: 1937. Rogovin shows that the purges were aimed at the physical annihilation of the growing socialist opposition to Stalin's bureaucratic regime. Focused on Leon Trotsky and his thousands of supporters, the purges were a blow against the October Revolution, its leaders and its heritage. This is the fourth volume of Rogovin's seven-volume series, Was There an Alternative?

Antonin Artaud, Stephen Barber, "Artaud 1937 Apocalypse: Letters from Ireland"
English | 2019 | pages: 82 | ISBN: 3035801533, 0992736676 | PDF | 1,0 mb
Antonin Artaud's journey to Ireland in 1937 marked an extraordinary-and apocalyptic-turning point in his life and career. After publishing the manifesto The New Revelations of Being about the "catastrophic immediate-future," Artaud abruptly left Paris for Ireland, remaining there for six weeks without money. Traveling first to the isolated island of Inishmore off Ireland's western coast, then to Galway, and finally to Dublin, Artaud was eventually arrested as an undesirable alien, beaten by the police, and summarily deported back to France. On his return, he spent nine years in asylums, remaining there through the entire span of World War II.

1934-1937 THE SECOND WORLD WAR: ILLUSTRATED CHRONOLOGY DAY BY DAY by Ruben Ygua
English | March 8, 2019 | ISBN: 1799089274 | 112 pages | EPUB | 0.28 Mb
In the course of history, public opinion has always been manipulated. To keep us informed we depend on rarely independent specialized organisms, subordinated to economic power or political ideologies, shaping the opinion of the common citizen.In the first half of the twentieth century, this informative role was played by the written press, radio, literature and cinema, all of them controlled in some way by political parties or by powerful associations generally anonymous. For all that, we can affirm that the history of the Second World War has not yet been told in an impartial way. Good guys continue to beat bad guys.Several reasons have influenced for that to happen: the time passed was still not enough to extinguish old hatreds and the echoes of war propaganda still exert strong influence on the common man. Many issues continued to be a taboo for writers and researchers during the second half of the 20th century.However, something is changing. The current generation demonstrates a stimulating intellectual independence; every day increases the number of people who demand to know the truth about the most different issues.The Internet opened the door for many authors marginalized by traditional publishing houses; this has enriched the literary and informative offer for those who have real curiosity about the past.To elaborate this broad chronology that aims to accompany the story every day from 1933 to 1946, I have consulted a vast material that has been filtered, as far as possible, comparing the different versions and points of view, both political and socio-economic and racial. It has been a difficult task, sometimes I had to publish both versions about a certain fact, since I could not discover the truth and to avoid committing injustices by omitting one of them. Fortunately, for the most part, with patience and dedication, it was possible to approach what really happened.As an author I tried to place myself outside of ideologies, racial, nationalist and religious preconceptions, just like a free thinker ... free to relate in an impartial way the tragedy of the greatest conflict that has affected Humanity, a conflict that, in my opinion, in part is not over yet.The Second World War was the struggle between International Zionism and Ultra Nationalism that dragged the world into the most terrible bloodbath in history.
