More than Chinese Americans came to Angel Island
Posted by admin / Under History Of Video Game Consoles (fourth Generation)
Fleeing Nazi-occupied Austria, Elfriede "Alice" Edelstein and her mother boarded a boat with 100 other Jewish refugees and headed across the sea in 1940.

The Edelsteins' story, along with many others, is chronicled in Erika Lee and Judy Yung's forthcoming "Angel Island: Immigrant Gateway to America" from Oxford University Press.

Thousands of WWII pictures from 1944 / Normandy period
Posted by admin / Under History Of Video Game Consoles (fourth Generation)
I've had these pictures sat on my PC for years so i've finally got around to hosting them. I'm slowly captioning them too, based on translations from a French Flickr account. I think he copied them from somewhere else so i don't feel too bad about using them. I'm not copying word for word anyway. Anyway, hope some of you enjoy them ! http://www.stolly.org.uk/ETO

Carpet-Bombing Falsehoods About a War That’s Little Understood (Korean war revisionism)
Posted by admin / Under History Of Video Game Consoles (fourth Generation)
... Bruce Cumings’s “Korean War,” [is] a powerful revisionist history of America’s intervention in Korea. Beneath its bland title, Mr. Cumings’s book is a squirm-inducing assault on America’s moral behavior during the Korean War, a conflict that he says is misremembered when it is remembered at all. It’s a book that puts the reflexive anti-Americanism of North Korea’s leaders into sympathetic historical context. Mr. Cumings is chairman of the history department at the University of Chicago and the author of “The Origins of the Korean War,” a respected two-volume survey. He mows down a host of myths about the war...
