A fresh look at JFK's life from childhood to his charismatic, spectacular Presidency --including sharply focused 'takes' on theories about his murder, an assassination viewed by millions world-wide on TV. The authors have researched archives from London, Washington, Boston and Cuba, and feature original interviews with JFK'S contemporaries that provide fascinating insights into his personality.
The analysis explores the complex relationship between the military and civilian government in Turkey, emphasizing the unique historical and cultural context that shapes this dynamic. It highlights the Turkish officer ethos, particularly the influence of Kemalism, and notes a public mandate for military involvement in politics. The military's role is described as more obstructive than initiatory, with its power rooted in informal authority. The paper suggests that fears surrounding EU reforms may hinder the military's political withdrawal, which will depend on broader social and political changes in Turkey.
"Havana casts its spell on all who visit. One hundred twenty-five black-and-white photographs, both recent and vintage, and most never before published, have been brought together here with evocative text to tell the story of this extraordinary city. The photographs, from an array of remarkable Cuban photographers including Osvaldo Salas, Raul Corrales, Alberto Korda, and many others, examine the links between Havana's present and its past. The photographs capture not just the stunning architecture, but also the people, the music, the ageless traditions, the tenderness, and the turbulence that are the real Havana." "Many of these photographs have been seen in major exhibitions internationally, but have never been brought together in a single definitive work. Havana in My Heart celebrates the formidable talent and skill of Cuban photographers and the vibrant and irrepressible spirit of this legendary city. The author takes the reader behind the tourist cliches of Havana's colorful facade to experience the daily lives of its inhabitants, in turn quirky, noble, soulful, and passionate - but always intensely human."--Jacket
