Showing results for "Eisenberg" in Military

Fire and Rain is a compelling, meticulous narrative of the way national security decisions formed at the highest levels of government affect the lives of individuals at home and abroad. By drawing these connections, Carolyn Woods Eisenberg brings to life policy decisions about Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia, conveying their significance to a new generation. She breaks fresh ground in contextualizing Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger's decisions within a wider institutional and societal framework.

Alex Eisenberg flyttede allerede som 16-årig fra Tyskland til Danmark for at uddanne sig, men kort tid efter brød anden verdenskrig ud, og i 1943 blev han, grundet sin jødiske herkomst, deporteret til koncentrationslejren Theresienstadt. Han overlevede knap to år i lejren, indtil befrielsen i 1945, og 50 år senere skrev han bogen Theresienstadt elegi om sine minder fra den forfærdelige og skæbnesvangre tid.
