A Coat of Many Colors

Osip Mandelstam and His Mythologies of Self-Presentation

By: Gregory Freidin

Friedin writes just the kind of criticism Mandelstam wrote and which he would have loved: grounded in careful reading but never timid, quirky but never merely eccentric, the product of a mind and sensibility keenly alive to the times, both historical and critical. . . . Nothing I have read on Mandelstam has so provoked my own thinking as has Freidin's work. . . . It is stimulating in every sense of the word and will move the study of Mandelstam off the point at which it has been stuck for far too long." - John E. Malmstad, Harvard University "Combining as it does sensitive close readings of the Mandelstam texts with an uncommonly wide range of literary and sociocultural reference, A Coat of Many Colors is a welcome and significant addition to the body of scholarship bearing on one of our century's finest poets." -Victor Erlich, Yale University

Women of the Gulag

Portraits of Five Remarkable Lives

By: Paul R. Gregory

During the course of three decades, Joseph Stalin’s Gulag, a vast network of forced labor camps and settlements, held many millions of prisoners. People in every corner of the Soviet Union lived in daily terror of imprisonment and execution. In researching the surviving threads of memoirs and oral reminiscences of five women victimized by the Gulag, author Paul R. Gregory has stitched together a collection of stories from the female perspective, a view in short supply. Capturing the fear, paranoia, and unbearable hardship that were hallmarks of Stalin’s Great Terror, Gregory relates the stories of five women from different social strata and regions in vivid prose, from their pre-Gulag lives, through their struggles to survive in the repressive atmosphere of the late 1930s and early 1940s, to the difficulties facing the four who survived as they adjusted to life after the Gulag. These firsthand accounts illustrate how even the wrong word could become a crime against the state. The book begins with a synopsis of Stalin’s rise to power, the roots of the Gulag, and the scheming and plotting that led to and persisted in one of the bloodiest, most egregious dictatorships of the 20th century.

Enduring the Whirlwind

The German Army and the Russo-German War 1941-1943

By: Gregory Liedtke

Despite the best efforts of a number of historians, many aspects of the ferocious struggle between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union during the Second World War remain obscure or shrouded in myth. One of the most persistent of these is the notion - largely created by many former members of its own officer corps in the immediate postwar period - that the German Army was a paragon of military professionalism and operational proficiency whose defeat on the Eastern Front was solely attributable to the amateurish meddling of a crazed former Corporal and the overwhelming numerical superiority of the Red Army. A key pillar upon which the argument of German numerical-weakness vis-à-vis the Red Army has been constructed is the assertion that Germany was simply incapable of providing its army with the necessary quantities of men and equipment needed to replace its losses. In consequence, as their losses outstripped the availability of replacements, German field formations became progressively weaker until they were incapable of securing their objectives or, eventually, of holding back the swelling might of the Red Army. This work seeks to address the notion of German numerical-weakness in terms of Germany's ability to replace its losses and regenerate its military strength, and assess just how accurate this argument was during the crucial first half of the Russo-German War (June 1941-June 1943). Employing a host of primary documents and secondary literature, it traces the development and many challenges of the German Army from the prewar period until the invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941. It continues on to chart the first two years of the struggle between Germany and the Soviet Union, with a particular emphasis upon the scale of German personnel and equipment losses, and how well these were replaced. It also includes extensive examinations into the host of mitigating factors that both dictated the course of Germany's campaign in the East and its replacement and regeneration capabilities. In contrast to most accounts of the conflict, this study finds that numerical-weakness being the primary factor in the defeat of the Ostheer - specifically as it relates to the strength and condition of the German units involved - has been overemphasized and frequently exaggerated. In fact, Germany was actually able to regenerate its forces to a remarkable degree with a steady flow of fresh men and equipment, and German field divisions on the Eastern Front were usually far stronger than the accepted narratives of the war would have one believe.

Comparative Politics

An Institutional and Cross-national Approach

By: Gregory S. Mahler,Donald J. MacInnis

This text is appropriate for comparative politics, world politics, and global politics courses taught at the university level. The Canadian edition of Comparative Politics: An Institutional and Cross-National Approach provides students and instructors with a balance of the theoretical, institutional and polity specific approaches.

50/50: Finding Life's Balance for All Human Beings

By: Gregory L. Doctor

Has your life ever felt out of balance? Has it ever seemed to you that society is imbalanced, with racial and economic disparities unfairly affecting people's lives-and maybe even your own? More importantly, in the face of these inequalities, where can you turn for answers and solutions? In 50/50: Finding Life's Balance for All Human Beings, author Gregory L. Doctor explores the history of social inequality and oppression, sharing his own story and showing you how to discover that there is something more to your life. God has a message for you, and by listening to this valuable lesson, you can learn how to be your brother's keeper and live powerfully and in balance. The key is to embrace the fifty-fifty rule: be a well-informed learner for one part of your life, but become a knowledgeable teacher for the other half. By blending the two together, you can live a completely balanced life and be in a position to help someone younger live a complete and balanced life too.

Big Frank

By: Gregory Miles

This book is about Mr. Frank Miles, written through the eyes of his son, Gregory Miles. The book is titled Big Frank because that's what people in the community called him. They were aware of the contributions and services he had provided. Even as a US Air Force veteran, he was still called big Frank by his military friends and later by his United Auto Workers buddies. A stint at University of Detroit Mercy School of Law gave the author the confidence to write this biography. It is truly a story that deserves to be told.
