Il est soldat, il est l'ennemi. L'aimer devrait être interdit. 1942. Paris agonise sous l'occupation ennemie. Star avant la guerre, Eugénie voue une haine farouche à l'envahisseur et refuse de capituler. Elle pense pouvoir survivre à tout, jusqu'à ce qu'un regard gris la percute. Un regard qu'elle connaît, un regard qu'elle a aimé, jadis. Ludwig, celui à qui elle a offert un jour son premier baiser, juste avant qu'il disparaisse sans laisser aucune explication, réapparaît dans sa vie, arborant fièrement l'uniforme de l'oppresseur. Un héros de guerre qu'elle ne peut que détester. Mais derrière les insignes et les évidences, les secrets ne demandent qu'à être révélés et la passion, qui ne s'est jamais vraiment éteinte, à rejaillir encore plus fort. Cependant, comment s'aimer quand le monde entier décide de nous en empêcher ? Entre le chaos, les ressentiments, l'ignominie et les révélations, reste-t-il une place pour deux êtres qui ne demandent simplement que leur liberté ? *** – Qu’est-ce que tu as à la jambe, Ludwig ? me demande-t-elle, inquiète, depuis le pas de la porte, alors que je ne l’avais pas vue revenir. – Rien d’important. – Bien sûr que c’est important ! déclare-t-elle en franchissant les quelques mètres qui nous séparent. Montre-moi… – Non, Eugénie, je vais bien. Je repousse sa main qui tente de se poser sur ma cuisse et attrape son poignet pour l’obliger à me regarder. – Je ne suis pas venu t’entendre crier, Mausi. – Et je n’ai pas envie de crier, murmure-t-elle. On peut parler de plein d’autres choses… – Ou ne pas parler du tout. Je l’attire contre moi, parce que c’est l’unique manière dont je veux l’aimer. Contre moi, ni dans son camp ni dans le mien, mais dans le nôtre, exclusivement. Je l’assieds sur mes cuisses en rejetant le pic sournois et douloureux qui s’impose sous ma cicatrice et l’embrasse. Plus fort, plus profondément que jamais. Parce que nous deux, nous ne pouvons exister que comme ça. Nous nous enlaçons et, sous mes bras, je sens son corps se détendre, sa poitrine pointer sous le coton de sa chemise et je retire une nouvelle fois ce foutu peignoir qui la recouvre bien trop. Ses doigts sont eux aussi affairés sur ma chemise, qui pend bientôt en découvrant mon torse. – Et donc, souffle-t-elle en effleurant ma peau, que proposes-tu à la place ? – Quelque chose comme ça ! Je l’attrape par les hanches et la fais basculer sur son lit, sur le ventre, allongée de tout son long. Elle tente de se retourner, mais je pose une main sur ses reins en rampant sur son dos, le sexe déjà dressé de désir par cette vision qu’elle m’offre. Forbidden Soldier d'Erin Graham, premiers chapitres du roman.

Since the 1990s, Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) programs have experienced unprecedented expansion in American public schools. The program and its proliferation in poor, urban schools districts with large numbers of Latina/o and African American students is not without controversy. Public support is often based on the belief that the program provides much-needed discipline for "at risk" youth. Meanwhile, critics of JROTC argue that the program is a recruiting tool for the U.S. military and is yet another example of an increasingly punitive climate that disproportionately affect youth of color in American public schools. Citizen, Student, Soldier intervenes in these debates, providing critical ethnographic attention to understanding the motivations, aspirations, and experiences of students who participate in increasing numbers in JROTC programs. These students have complex reasons for their participation, reasons that challenge the reductive idea that they are either dangerous youths who need discipline or victims being exploited by a predatory program. Rather, their participation is informed by their marginal economic position in the local political economy, as well as their desire to be regarded as full citizens, both locally and nationally. Citizenship is one of the central concerns guiding the JROTC curriculum; this book explores ethnographically how students understand and enact different visions of citizenship and grounds these understandings in local and national political economic contexts. It also highlights the ideological, social and cultural conditions of Latina/o youth and their families who both participate in and are enmeshed in vigorous debates about citizenship, obligation, social opportunity, militarism and, ultimately, the American Dream.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • “Steven Pressfield brings the battle of Thermopylae to brilliant life.”—Pat Conroy At Thermopylae, a rocky mountain pass in northern Greece, the feared and admired Spartan soldiers stood three hundred strong. Theirs was a suicide mission, to hold the pass against the invading millions of the mighty Persian army. Day after bloody day they withstood the terrible onslaught, buying time for the Greeks to rally their forces. Born into a cult of spiritual courage, physical endurance, and unmatched battle skill, the Spartans would be remembered for the greatest military stand in history—one that would not end until the rocks were awash with blood, leaving only one gravely injured Spartan squire to tell the tale. . . .
Toc Walsh was conscripted into intake 138 Depot Rhodesia Regiment on 18 April 1974 and endured a year of what he deemed to be Ômilitary mayhemÕ. In July 1976, he was drafted again with the 10th Battalion Rhodesia Regiment to continue his wild ride into the maniacal world of combat. The country was in a state of national emergency and all available men were called up on continuous service. Mampara is a no-holds-barred look at one manÕs lived experience of war. The title of the book stems from the Shona word mampara that is said to originate from the slurred bark of the male Chacma baboon. The baboon indulges in alcohol-laden fermented fruit in an attempt to attain courage for difficult endeavors such as courting a female. In many ways, us as humans indulge in the same practice especially in times of intense stress or hardships. Young men experiencing the intense stresses of combat become, like the baboon, hungry for a way to cope.

New York Times Book Review Editor’s Choice; Real Simple Best of the Month; Library Journal Editors’ Pick In the spirit of Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother, Bringing up Bébé, and The Smartest Kids in the World, a hard-hitting exploration of China’s widely acclaimed yet insular education system that raises important questions for the future of American parenting and education When students in Shanghai rose to the top of international rankings in 2009, Americans feared that they were being "out-educated" by the rising super power. An American journalist of Chinese descent raising a young family in Shanghai, Lenora Chu noticed how well-behaved Chinese children were compared to her boisterous toddler. How did the Chinese create their academic super-achievers? Would their little boy benefit from Chinese school? Chu and her husband decided to enroll three-year-old Rainer in China’s state-run public school system. The results were positive—her son quickly settled down, became fluent in Mandarin, and enjoyed his friends—but she also began to notice troubling new behaviors. Wondering what was happening behind closed classroom doors, she embarked on an exploratory journey, interviewing Chinese parents, teachers, and education professors, and following students at all stages of their education. What she discovered is a military-like education system driven by high-stakes testing, with teachers posting rankings in public, using bribes to reward students who comply, and shaming to isolate those who do not. At the same time, she uncovered a years-long desire by government to alleviate its students’ crushing academic burden and make education friendlier for all. The more she learns, the more she wonders: Are Chinese children—and her son—paying too high a price for their obedience and the promise of future academic prowess? Is there a way to appropriate the excellence of the system but dispense with the bad? What, if anything, could Westerners learn from China’s education journey? Chu’s eye-opening investigation challenges our assumptions and asks us to consider the true value and purpose of education.
