    A Lynching at Port Jervis (eBook, ePUB)
    An account of a lynching that took place in New York in 1892, forcing the North to reckon with its own racism.On June 2, 1892, in the small, idyllic village of Port Jervis, New York, a young Black man named Robert Lewis was lynched by a violent mob. The twenty-eight-year-old victim had been accused of sexually assaulting Lena McMahon, the daughter of one of the town's well-liked Irish American families. The incident was infamous at once, for it was seen as a portent that lynching, a Southern scourge, surging uncontrollably below the Mason-Dixon Line, was about to extend its tendrils northward. What factors prompted such a spasm of racial violence in a relatively prosperous, industrious upstate New York town, attracting the scrutiny of the Black journalist Ida B. Wells, just then beginning her courageous anti-lynching crusade? What meaning did the country assign to it? And what did the incident portend?Today, it's a terrible truth that the assault on the lives of Black Americans is neither a regional nor a temporary feature, but a national crisis. There are regular reports of a Black person killed by police, and Jim Crow has found new purpose in describing the harsh conditions of life for the formerly incarcerated, as well as in large-scale efforts to make voting inaccessible to Black people and other minority citizens. The "mobocratic spirit" that drove the 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol-a phrase Abraham Lincoln used as early as 1838 to describe vigilantism's corrosive effect on America-frightfully insinuates that mob violence is a viable means of effecting political change. These issues remain as deserving of our concern now as they did a hundred and thirty years ago, when America turned its gaze to Port Jervis.An alleged crime, a lynching, a misbegotten attempt at an official inquiry, and a past unresolved. In A Lynching at Port Jervis, the acclaimed historian Philip Dray revisits this time and place to consider its significance in our communal history and to show how justice cannot be achieved without an honest reckoning.

    Die letzten Paradiese - Die Bucht der vergessenen Haie (DVD)
    Die Jervis Bay im Süden von Australien ist eine der größten Meeresbuchten der Welt. Die bis zu 100 Meter aufsteigenden Klippen schützen dieses Refugium vor der gewaltigen Brandung des Südpazifiks. Einmal im Jahr ist die Bucht Schauplatz einer der größten Tierversammlungen der Welt: Tausende Port Jackson Haie kommen hierher, um sich zu paaren und ihre Eier zwischen die Felsen zu legen. Auch an Land freut man sich auf das alljährliche Spektakel unter Wasser. Einige Haieier werden mit der Brandung an den Strand gespült, wo Möven die Leckerbissen erwarten. Nirgendwo sonst auf der Welt scheint es eine so nahe Verbindung zwischen dem Leben im Wasser und an Land zu geben. Selbst Kängurus dringen, meist in Gruppen, bis zum Strand vor. Schutz finden sie in den dichten Eukalyptuswäldern, die vielerorts bis ans Wasser reichen. Hier leben auch die Koalas. Für sie sind die riesigen Eukalyptusbäume nicht nur Lebensraum, sondern auch Nahrungsgrundlage. Zwischen den Bäumen lässt sich eine artenreiche Tierwelt entdecken: das wundersame Schnabeltier, Papageien in den verschiedensten Farben und ein prachtvoller Vogel, der im Schatten der Bäume seinen Balztanz aufführt, der Leierschwanz. Der Film präsentiert einmalige Naturaufnahmen und überrascht mit so seltenen Bildern wie Paarung und Geburt der Port Jackson Haie.Bonusmaterial:DVD-Ausstattung / Bonusmaterial: - Kapitel- / Szenenanwahl

    Why Intelligence Fails: Lessons from the Iranian Revolution and the Iraq War (Cornell Studies in Security Affairs Series) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 697min
    The U.S. government spends enormous resources each year on the gathering and analysis of intelligence, yet the history of American foreign policy is littered with missteps and misunderstandings that have resulted from intelligence failures. In Why Intelligence Fails, Robert Jervis examines the politics and psychology of two of the more spectacular intelligence failures in recent memory: the mistaken belief that the regime of the Shah in Iran was secure and stable in 1978, and the claim that Iraq had active WMD programs in 2002. The Iran case is based on a recently declassified report Jervis was commissioned to undertake by the CIA thirty years ago and includes memoranda written by CIA officials in response to Jervis's findings. The Iraq case, also grounded in a review of the intelligence community's performance, is based on close readings of both classified and declassified documents, though Jervis's conclusions are entirely supported by evidence that has been declassified. In both cases, Jervis finds not only that intelligence was badly flawed but also that later explanations - analysts were bowing to political pressure and telling the White House what it wanted to hear or were willfully blind - were also incorrect. Proponents of these explanations claimed that initial errors were compounded by groupthink, lack of coordination within the government, and failure to share information. Policy prescriptions, including the recent establishment of a Director of National Intelligence, were supposed to remedy the situation. In Jervis's estimation, neither the explanations nor the prescriptions are adequate. The inferences that intelligence drew were actually quite plausible given the information available. Errors arose, he concludes, from insufficient attention to the ways in which information should be gathered and interpreted, a lack of self-awareness about the factors that led to the judgments, and an organizational culture that failed to probe f ungekürzt.
