Justice League 3000 Vol. 2: The Camelot War by J.M. DeMatteis,Keith Giffen Pdf
FLASH BACK! One thousand years from now, the greatest minds of the future brought the greatest heroes of the past back from the dead. Reborn into a twisted era of tyranny, the Justice League overcame missing memories, warped personalities, and bizarre new powers to band together and battle the all-powerful dictators who ruled the galaxies like gods, known as the Five. They blew it. Now the Flash is dead (again). The Green Lantern has been reduced to a flicker of his former self. Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman are at each other's throats. And the Five have revealed their secret weapon: One of the supergenius siblings called the Wonder Twins, who resurrected the Justice League from oblivion, has been the League's enemy all along. But his twin sister Terri is alive and well. With the help of super-science, the Fastest Man Alive is about to be reborn...as the Fastest Woman. And if she isn't quick enough to defeat the Five, the future's greatest heroes may have to turn to the past's goofiest ones faster than you can say "bwa-ha-ha". It's time-traveling, galaxy-hopping, gender-bending action as you like it! Writers Keith Giffen (THE NEW 52: FUTURES END) and J.M. Dematteis (JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK) re-team with artist Howard Porter (JLA) -and reunite with Blue Beetle and Booster Gold, the characters that helped make them superstars-in JUSTICE LEAGUE 3000: THE CAMELOT WAR (collecting issues #8-13).

The famed political critic “analyzes the issue most prominently posed in Oliver Stone’s film JFK . . . strong arguments against Kennedy mythologists” (Publishers Weekly). Rethinking Camelot is a thorough analysis of John F. Kennedy’s role in the US invasion of Vietnam and a probing reflection on the elite political culture that allowed and encouraged the Cold War. In it, Chomsky dismisses efforts to resurrect Camelot—an attractive American myth portraying JFK as a shining knight promising peace, foiled only by assassins bent on stopping this lone hero who would have unilaterally withdrawn from Vietnam had he lived. Chomsky argues that US institutions and political culture, not individual presidents, are the key to understanding US behavior during Vietnam. Rethinking Camelot is “an interesting work not only for the history it explores, but also as a study of how various individuals and groups write and interpret history” (Choice). Praise for Noam Chomsky “Chomsky is a global phenomenon . . . perhaps the most widely read voice on foreign policy on the planet.” —The New York Times Book Review “The conscience of the American people.” —New Statesman “Reading Chomsky is like standing in a wind tunnel. With relentless logic, Chomsky bids us to listen closely to what our leaders tell us—and to discern what they are leaving out . . . The questions Chomsky raises will eventually have to be answered. Agree with him or not, we lose out by not listening.” —Business Week “One of the radical heroes of our age . . . a towering intellect . . . powerful, always provocative.” —The Guardian
Midwest Book Review says, "Black Camelot's Days of War" is the third volume in author Darius Myers' original and riveting Black Camelot series and continues to showcase Darius Myers impressive and narrative driven storytelling skills. Packed with action, suspense, and one compulsive thriller of a read from first page to last." Black Camelot's Days of War is the third novel in the Black Camelot series. Chief of Detectives Teddy Walker, with the help of the Society of Protectors, has kept Donald Alexander, Kwame Mills and their spectacular crew of friends dubbed the Black Camelots’ safe from racist kill squads.

De-centering Cold War History by Jadwiga E. Pieper Mooney,Fabio Lanza Pdf
Cold War histories are often told as stories of national leaders, state policies and the global confrontation that pitted a Communist Eastern Bloc against a Capitalist West. De-Centering the Cold War takes a new analytical approach to reveal unexpected complexities in the historical trajectory of the Cold War. This collaborative effort shapes a street-level history of the global Cold War era, one that uses the analysis of the 'local' to rethink and reframe the wider picture of the 'global', connecting the political negotiations of individuals and communities at the intersection of places and of meeting points between 'ordinary' people and political elites to the Cold War at large.
When young Arthur of Camelot accidentally time-travels to the 21st century and Googles himself, he discovers the not-so-happily ever after in store for him once he pulls the sword from the stone. Yes, he'll go from squire to sovereign basically overnight, but he'll also lose the love of his life to his best friend and eventually die in battle. What's a once-and-future king to do? Easy: stay in the future, where he'll actually have a future-and join the football team instead. Now, with the help of the great wizard Merlin, modern-day gamer-geeks Sophie and Stu find themselves in a race against time to get that sword pulled from the stone and the stubborn soon-to-be-king Arthur back to the past where he belongs. Complicating the plan? Lady Morgana-Arthur's sister and greatest enemy-has traveled to the future as well, determined to take Arthur out and seize the throne. Can Sophie and Stu use their gaming abilities to defeat the evil Morgana and set the timeline right? With the very existence of their friendship, their families, and the world as they know it (including pepperoni pizza!) at stake, they'll use every skill, power-up, and cheat code they know in their quest to save the day.
Flying Camelot brings us back to the post-Vietnam era, when the US Air Force launched two new, state-of-the art fighter aircraft: the F-15 Eagle and the F-16 Fighting Falcon. It was an era when debates about aircraft superiority went public—and these were not uncontested discussions. Michael W. Hankins delves deep into the fighter pilot culture that gave rise to both designs, showing how a small but vocal group of pilots, engineers, and analysts in the Department of Defense weaponized their own culture to affect technological development and larger political change. The design and advancement of the F-15 and F-16 reflected this group's nostalgic desire to recapture the best of World War I air combat. Known as the "Fighter Mafia," and later growing into the media savvy political powerhouse "Reform Movement," it believed that American weapons systems were too complicated and expensive, and thus vulnerable. The group's leader was Colonel John Boyd, a contentious former fighter pilot heralded as a messianic figure by many in its ranks. He and his group advocated for a shift in focus from the multi-role interceptors the Air Force had designed in the early Cold War towards specialized air-to-air combat dogfighters. Their influence stretched beyond design and into larger politicized debates about US national security, debates that still resonate today. A biography of fighter pilot culture and the nostalgia that drove decision-making, Flying Camelot deftly engages both popular culture and archives to animate the movement that shook the foundations of the Pentagon and Congress.
Founded in 1958 in response to the launch of Sputnik, DARPA has been responsible for countless inventions and technologies that have evolved from the agency's mission- forward-thinking solutions to the Pentagon's challenges. Sharon Weinberger gives us a riveting account of DARPA's successes and failures, useful innovations and wild-eyed schemes- we see how the nuclear threat sparked investment in computer networking, which led to the Internet, as well as plans to power a missile-seeking particle beam by draining the Great Lakes...how, in Vietnam, DARPA developed technology for the world's first armed drones and was also responsible for Agent Orange... how DARPA's recent success with self-driving cars is counterbalanced with its disappointing contributions to the Afghanistan and Iraq wars. Weinberger has spoken to dozens of former DARPA and Pentagon officials--many of whom had never been interviewed before about their work with the agency--and synthesized countless documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act. The result is a riveting history of a meeting point of science, technology, and politics.
