Ted Van Doorn: a Memoir by Ted Van Doorn Pdf

An eyewitness account - Ted Van Doorn was raised in a typical Japanese house-hold (by a Dutch father); was a soldier in the Imperial Army (who silently rooted for an Allied victory); and a prisoner of a Siberian gulag (who later became an employee of the American Occupation forces). Van Doorn vividly recounts a childhood and young adulthood lived in the most turbulent and transformative years of modern Japan's history, from the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923, which left 140,000 people dead, to the country's epic involvement in World War II and its uncertain aftermath. Ted van Doorn was well known for his 30 years as founder of Vandor Imports in San Francisco, leading the gift and housewares industry in the USA with design and élan. Even those who knew him well had no idea of his remarkable past, and it was his last act to reveal his earlier life in this memoir.

Soldier Extraordinaire by Alfred E. Cornebise Pdf

"Soldier Extraordinaire explores the colorful life and varied accomplishments of Brig. Gen. Frank "Pinkie" Dorn, an unusual player on the world stage during the 1920s and beyond World War II. Over the course of his 30-year Army career, Dorn manifested probing observations and analyses especially of Asia. He produced writings on subjects ranging from Philippine native tribes to Peking's Forbidden City and the origins of the Sino-Japanese War that began in 1937. Following the end of World War II, he was closely involved in Gen. Douglas MacArthur's brilliant occupation and pacification of Japan. Beyond his military successes, Dorn created world-class art, enjoyed cooking and writing cookbooks, was renowned for his cartography skills, and relished opportunities to comment on the frequent maelstroms and interplay of relevant personalities on social and military scenes."--Provided by publisher.

A History of Christianity in Indonesia by Jan Sihar Aritonang,Karel Adriaan Steenbrink Pdf

Indonesia is the home of the largest single Muslim community of the world. Its Christian community, about 10% of the population, has until now received no overall description in English. Through cooperation of 26 Indonesian and European scholars, Protestants and Catholics, a broad and balanced picture is given of its 24 million Christians. This book sketches the growth of Christianity during the Portuguese period (1511-1605), it presents a fair account of developments under the Dutch colonial administration (1605-1942) and is more elaborate for the period of the Indonesian Republic (since 1945). It emphasizes the regional differences in this huge country, because most Christians live outside the main island of Java. Muslim-Christian relations, as well as the tensions between foreign missionaries and local theology, receive special attention.
