Duarte

Sinopsis del Libro

Libro Duarte

Mexican Army veteran Andres Duarte was granted 6,595 acres along the southern foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains in 1841 by the governor of Alta California. Rancho Azusa de Duarte eventually was carved into 40-acre parcels, and arriving families from the East and Midwest built schools, installed water lines, and grew crops. By 1900, two major rail lines served the area's thriving citrus industry. Duarte's beneficial climate led to the establishment in 1913 of a tuberculosis sanitarium, which became City of Hope, the world-class cancer treatment center. Bandleader Glenn Miller settled in Duarte. The city's location along old U.S. Route 66 brought many visitors to and through town. A strongly independent civic spirit led to a momentous 1987 U. S. Supreme Court decision to disallow the expulsion of the Duarte Rotary from Rotary International for admitting three women. As for Andres Duarte, he is commemorated by a 2007 bronze equestrian statue, located across Huntington Drive from the city hall that bears his name.

Libro Troubled Memory, Second Edition

The first book to connect the prewar and wartime experiences of Jewish survivors to the lives they subsequently made for themselves in the United States, Troubled Memory is also a dramatic testament to how the experiences of survivors as new Americans spurred their willingness to bear witness. Perhaps the only family to survive the liquidation of the Warsaw...

Libro La historia secreta del Día D

La historia de los agentes dobles que engañaron a la Alemania nazi y contribuyeron al éxito del desembarco en Normandía es bien conocida. O así lo creíamos. Porque esta es la primera vez que estos personajes y sus actos se han investigado a fondo con la documentación de los archivos del Servicio Secreto británico, y lo que Ben MacIntyre –uno de los más prestigiosos investigadores del mundo del espionaje, autor de "El agente Zigzag" y de "El hombre que nunca existió"- ha descubierto es que lo que los propios protagonistas contaron en sus memorias no era toda la verdad. MacIntyre...
