  • Revolution, Reform and Regionalism in Southeast Asia
    Revolution, Reform and Regionalism in Southeast Asia Geographically, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam are situated in the fastest growing region in the world, positioned alongside the dynamic economies of neighboring China and Thailand. Revolution, Reform and Regionalism in Southeast Asia compares the postwar political economies of these three countries in the context of their individual and collective impact on recent efforts at regional integration. Based on research carried out over three decades, Ronald Bruce St John highlights the different paths to reform taken by these countries and the effect this has had on regional plans for economic development. Through its comparative analysis of the reforms implemented by Cam- bodia, Laos and Vietnam over the last 30 years, the book draws attention to parallel themes of continuity and change. St John discusses how these countries have demonstrated related characteristics whilst at the same time making different modifications in order to exploit the strengths of their individual cultures. The book contributes to the contemporary debate over the role of democratic reform in promoting economic devel- opment and provides academics with a unique insight into the political economies of three countries at the heart of Southeast Asia. Ronald Bruce St John earned a Ph.D. in International Relations at the University of Denver before serving as a military intelligence officer in Vietnam. He is now an independent scholar and has published more than 300 books, articles and reviews with a focus on Southeast Asia,

Dawson, III This dissertation provides analysis on several areas of study related to the history of the United States Marine Corps in the Civil War Era. One element scrutinizes the efforts of Commandant Archibald Henderson to transform the Corps into a more nimble and professional organization. Henderson's initiatives are placed within the framework of the several fundamental changes that the U.S. Navy was undergoing as it worked to experiment with, acquire, and incorporate new naval technologies into its own operational concept.

Marine Corps :I,ibrary of Congress C!atalog Card Ko. 58-60002 Foreword With t,he recent completion of our bistoricnl monograph project,, the Marine Corps historical program entered a new phase. This book is the first of a projected five-volume series covering completely, and we hope definitively, the history of Marine operations in World War II. The fifteen hist,orical monogmpl~s published over n period of eight years have served to spotlight the high points in this broad field. The basic resea~rch which underlay their preparat,ion vi11 be utilized again in this project. But a monograph by its very nnt,ure aims at, a limited obje&ve, and in its comxntm- tion on B single bat,tle or campaign necessarily ignores many related subjects. All too oft,en it has been dificult~ to avoid conveying the impression that the specific operation under discussion was taking place in a vuc~um. Thus, while mu& valuable &tory has been writt,en, the st,ory as R wlrole remains untold. This lack the present project aims to rectify. The story of individual b;rttlrs or rnmpaigns, now isolated between tire covers of separate publications, will be, l;w&y rewrittrn and woven tog&her in an att,empt to show events in proper relation to exh other and in correct perspect,ivo to the war as a whole.

    THE U.S. MARINES OF THE LEGATION GUARD, MANAGUA, NICARAGUA, 1912-1925: A CASE STUDY IN LEADERSHIP, PROFESSIONALISM, AND CULTURAL AWARENESS By Brian A. Ross Major, U.S. Marine Corps A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts, U.S. History Milwaukee, Wisconsin December 2006 1 I consider that the presence of the marines here, contributed on the whole to guarantee peace in l'Jicaragua . for this reason their retirement is to be regretted. --Adolfo Bernard, Conservative, in the Nicaraguan newspaper La Noticia, August I, 1925 The presence of those marines here was insulting to the dignity of a free people. --Rosendo Arguello, Liberal, in La Noticia, August I, 19251 .[We] ought to feel immense joy to see that a military detachment leaves, which for a long time humiliated and outraged our citizens and which by its stay among us only leaves remembrances of indignation and grief. --Francisco Buitrago Diaz, Progressive, in the Nicaraguan newspaper La Tribuna, August 1,1925 Headed by a marine band and with their colors flying, the C United States Marine detachment, garrisoned here since 1912, marched today to the station and entrained for Corinto, where they are to embark on the transport Henderson for home. At the last moment four marines, who had married Nicaraguan girls, deserted. A local newspaper comments that love for Nicaraguan girls seems to be greater than love for country. The Managua papers generally say that the marines go as friends. --Harold N. Denny, Correspondent, in the New York Times, August 4, 19252 On August 3, 1925, over one hundred United States Marines from the Legation Guard detachment, Managua, Nicaragua, departed the country and returned to the United States, thus closing a long chapter in the interwoven history of the United States Marine Corps and Nicaragua.

Do NOT fall asleep or I WILL kill you.” _____________________________________________________________ Guns of the "Banana Wars" Part One Using rifles, handguns and machine guns, marines fought in fierce battles in the Caribbean and Central America. By Kenneth Smith-Christmas 12/27/2012 In the gathering gloom, and with its flat cars and boxcars filled with khaki-clad Marines, a narrow-gauge train rolled slowly to a halt in the Nicaraguan town of Masaya. Suddenly, more than 100 mounted Nicaraguan rebels rode up and down alongside the train in the dark, firing into the cars. The Marines’ commanding officer, Maj. Smedley D. Butler, fired his Colt revolver back at the rebels, and ordered his detachment of Marines to open fire. A thunderous fusillade of small arms fire burst from the “Smedley Butler at Fort Reviere, Haiti” by surrounding windows and rooftops, as the engine picked Col. Donna J. Neary; courtesy of the up speed. Butler later described the scene in his National Museum of the Marine Corps.
