Marching Orders: The Untold Story of How the American Breaking of the Japanese Secret Codes led to t

Marching Orders tells the story of how the American military's breaking of the Japanese diplomatic Purple codes during World War II led to the defeat of Nazi Germany and hastened the end of the devastating conflict. With unprecedented access to over one million pages of US Army documents and thousands of pages of top-secret messages dispatched to Tokyo from the Japanese embassy in Berlin, author Bruce Lee offers a series of fascinating revelations about pivotal moments in the war. Challenging conventional wisdom, Marching Orders demonstrates how an American invasion of Japan would have resulted in massive casualties for both forces. Lee presents a thrilling day-by-day chronicle of the difficult choices faced by the American military brain trust and how, aware of Japan's adamant refusal to surrender, the United States made the fateful decision to drop nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Hailed as 'one of the most important books ever published on World War II' by Robert T. Crowley, Marching Orders unveils the untold stories behind some of the Second World War's most critical events, bringing them to vivid life. It's a story that, as historian Robin W. Winks said, 'no one with the slightest interest in World War II or in the origins of the Cold War can afford to ignore.'

Empty Your Mind - Die universelle Weisheit des Kung Fu | Die Lebensphilosophie der Kampfkunstlegende

Bruce Lee ist vor allem als Kampfkünstler bekannt, doch er war auch ein tiefgründiger Denker. In seinen nun zum ersten Mal auf Deutsch veröffentlichten privaten Notizbüchern teilt er mit uns seine persönlichen Gedanken zu allen wichtigen Themen aus den Bereichen Psychologie und Philosophie. Besonders spannend ist seine Auffassung von den geistigen Prinzipien, die gute Kampf- und Lebenskünstler*innen ausmachen. Empty Your Mind ist ein Jubiläumsband zum 50. Todestag des Meisters am 20. Juli 2023, auf den all seine Fans und Praktizierenden der Kampfkünste nicht verzichten können. Vom Time Magazine wurde Bruce Lee als eine der 100 wichtigsten Persönlichkeiten ausgezeichnet. Seit seinem frühen Tod im Jahr 1973 nur noch an Einfluss gewonnen. In den 32 Jahren seines kurzen Lebens hat Bruce Lee eine unglaubliche kreative und spirituelle Kraft freigesetzt. Kurz vor seinem Tod schreibt er: 'Im Grunde bin ich schon immer ein Kampfkünstler aus Berufung, und ich bin Schauspieler von Beruf. Vor allem jedoch hoffe ich, mich auf meinem Weg als Künstler des Lebens zu verwirklichen.' Darunter verstand Bruce Lee eine vollkommene körperliche, geistige und spirituelle Integrität. Bruce Lees Bandbreite ist erstaunlich und reicht von der Psychologie von Angriff und Verteidigung bis zu der Lehre von Yin und Yang und der Einheit aller Dinge; von dem Zustand völliger Gelöstheit und tiefer Konzentration bis zu den philosophischen Ideen eines Laozi, Platon und Descartes. Den von ihm begründeten Kampfkunststil Jeet Kune Do zeigt er hier auf faszinierende Weise als einen persönlichen Befreiungsweg. Kung-Fu ist weit mehr als ein Körpertraining. Es ist ein Weg der Selbsterforschung und der Kunst, die Essenz des Geistes mit dem Ausdruck des Körpers zu verbinden. Empty your Mind ist ein Geschenk für alle Aktiven auf dem Weg der Kampfkunst.
