1941189981941. Broadside issued in 1941 by the Emergency Committee to Stop Deportations to the Sahara Desert articulating an urgent appeal against the forced deportation of anti-fascist refugees by the Vichy French government during the early years of the Second World War. Written by Edward K. Barsky a leading figure in the Joint Anti-Fascist Refugee Committee the document calls on American citizens to intervene diplomatically by contacting both the French Embassy in Washington D.C. and the U.S. Secretary of State. The broadside documents contemporary awareness of mass deportations and forced labor policies under the Pétain regime describing plans to remove large numbers of refugees-including veterans of the Spanish Civil War members of the International Brigades and political exiles from across Europe-to labor camps connected to the Trans-Saharan Railroad. The text situates these actions within broader patterns of repression highlighting the targeting of anti-fascist populations and the international composition of those affected. As such the document provides primary-source evidence of early wartime advocacy efforts in the United States responding to refugee persecution and authoritarian policies in Vichy-controlled territories.<br /> <br /> Single-page printed broadside.

1944888911944. JAPANESE PROPAGANDA Asahi Shimbunsha. SAKURA. Volume 6 #2 #31 overall. Large wrappered staple bound illustrated photomagazine in the tradition of FRONT and HOMELIFE. This number published in February of 1944 celebrated the plans for a cross continental railway to cross Eurasia from Tokyo to Berlin complete with an undersea tunnel from Japan to the mainland. SAKURA magazine was written in English Chinese and French. The whole world seems to lay at the feet of the Axis in this rosy scenario as sketched throughout the magazine. East Asia under the guidance of Imperial Japan is on the march to build a new world. Yet by February of 1944 the Red Army was in Poland and the Ukraine Sevastopol was cut off times were bleak for the 1000 year Reich indeed. Closer to home the Allies had "turned the corner" in the Western Pacific had isolated the large Japanese force at Rabaul and were headed north towards the homeland. At some point during the war reality and appearance began a rapid divergence and as the end approached it became all pure delusion. All of which does not obviate what an amazing visual feast SAKURA is from the covers to the ads a consistent message of normalcy progress and steadfast purpose in a great task. unknown

1958055782Cairo: The USSR Embassy Press Office in the United Arab Republic UAR 1958. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Contemporary full green cloth in Egyptian style contemporary white endpapers gilt lettering of title on front board and gilt decorations on spine. Original pictorial cover saved inside. Roy. 8vo. 24 x 17 cm. In Arabic. 88 p. 12 b/w ills. including drawings and reproduced photographic plates. Extremely rare unrecorded first issue of this Soviet propaganda organ published in Cairo the centre of the UAR by the USSR Propaganda Press Office with a striking cover design depicting the Sputniks in space celebrating the third anniversary of the Kosmicheskaya programma SSSR. The content begins with a comparison between the Soviet and American satellites. A full-paged photograph shows the Muscovites reading newspapers about the launch of the third Soviet satellite into space. In the periodical many details such as the construction processes and technical specifications of the satellites are explained as well as a striking history of the Soviet Space Program. Relations between Russia and Egypt have a long history dating back to before the 16th century. In the 1950s Gamal Abdel Nasser's independent and anti-imperialist policy earned him enthusiastic support from the Communist government of the USSR. In 1955 Egypt made a major arm deal with the Soviet Union and from then teams of Egyptian officers were trained in Eastern Bloc countries. Czechoslovak instructors also came in 1956 to train Egyptian personnel in the use of Soviet weapons. When France attacked Egypt during the Suez Crisis the USSR threatened to use destructive weapons i.e. nuclear weapons for the defence of Egypt. The degree of the Soviet approval of the Egyptian leader's policies culminated rather controversially in the award of the highest Soviet decoration the star of the Hero of the Soviet Union with the Order of Lenin to Nasser during Nikita Khrushchev's visit to the country in 1964. Kosmicheskaya programma SSSR i.e. The Soviet Space Program was the national space program of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics USSR active from 1955 until the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991. After WWII the Soviet and US space programs both utilized German technology in their early efforts. Eventually the program was managed under Sergei Korolev who led the program based on unique ideas derived by Konstantin Tsiolkovsky sometimes known as the father of theoretical astronautics. Contrary to its American European and Chinese competitors who had their programs run under a single coordinating agency the Soviet space program was divided and split among several internally competing design bureaus led by Korolev Kerimov Keldysh Yangel Glushko Chelomey Makeyev Chertok and Reshetnev. The Soviet space program served as an important marker of Soviet claims to its global superpower status. Wikipedia.
