Ruptured Histories: War, Memory, and the Post-Cold War in Asia
What has the end of the Cold War meant for East Asia, and for how its people understand their recent history? These thought-provoking essays explore a vigorously contested area in public culture, the wars of the modern era. All the major East Asian states have undergone a profound reassessment of their experiences from World War II to Vietnam. New and at times aggressive forms of nationalism in Japan, China, South Korea, Vietnam, and Taiwan have affected American security policy in the Pacific and posed a challenge to the post-communist world order. Japan has met fervent opposition to its premiers' visits to the Yasukuni shrine honoring the wartime dead. China has reclaimed a forgotten war history, such as the positive contributions of Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalists. South Korea has embraced an interpretation of the Korean War that is hostile to the United States and sympathetic to its North Korean adversaries. This volume not only illuminates regional and global changes in East Asia today, but also underscores the need for rethinking the Cold War language that continues to inform U.S.-East Asian relations. .

The Lamb Enters the Dreaming: Nathanael Pepper & the Ruptured World
A major reappraisal of the nature of Aboriginal and European relations in the first decades of contact in southern Australia, this book explores the conversion of Nathanael Pepper, a Wotjubaluk Aboriginal youth, to Christianity in 1860. Through the ritual slaughter of settlers’ stock, the choice of Pepper’s baptismal name, the settlers’ punitive and murderous raids, and the Moravian Church’s celebration of Pepper’s conversion, the story of Nathanael Pepper is the collision of the symbolic and moral universes of the Aborigine and the European. .

How I Earned the Ruptured Duck: Behind the Lines in Wwii (Texas a & M University Military History Series, 92.)
Twenty years old when he entered the army in 1942, Leo Bogart was one of 16 million Americans who served with the armed forces during World War II. In numerous letters home, he provided a glimpse into the mind of a young American intellectual whose wartime journey carried him from New York to Germany and from adolescence to personal experience of the world's complexities. After a stint in the Army Signal Corps' enlisted reserve, he was inducted into active duty and sent to the Army Specialized Training Program (ASTP), after which he was assigned to Signal Intelligence. The war led him to the battle for Europe and finally to troubling confrontations with the defeated enemy. In 1946 Bogart was honorably discharged and, like millions of veterans, awarded a small gilt lapel pin bearing the stylized head of an eagle, nicknamed "the ruptured duck". By showing how life moved from hour to hour and day by day, Bogart illuminates aspects of the war that cannot be found in military histories focused on the marshaling of forces, the capture of cities and the casualty counts..
