Edwin Palmer Hoyt (August 5, 1923 – July 29, 2005) was a highly prolific American writer who specialized in military history. Until 1958 Hoyt worked in media. After 1958 he produced a consistent and large volume of non-fiction works. Contents. Early life and career [ edit | edit source ] Edwin Palmer Hoyt was born on August 5, 1923, in Portland, Oregon, to Edwin Palmer Hoyt (1897–1979) and his wife, the former Cecile DeVore (1901–1970). A younger brother, Charles Richard, was born in 1928. Hoyt attended the University of Oregon from 1940 to 1943. In 1943, Hoyt's father, then the editor and publisher of The Oregonian , was appointed by President Franklin Roosevelt as the director of the Domestic Branch, Office of War Information. [1] The younger Hoyt served with the Office of War Information during World War II, from 1943 to 1945. In 1945 and 1946, he served as a foreign correspondent for The Denver Post (of which his father became editor and publisher in 1946 [1] ) and the United Press, reporting from locations in China, Thailand, Burma, India, the Middle East, Europe, North Africa, and Korea. Hoyt subsequently worked as an ABC broadcaster, covering the 1948 revolution in Czechoslovakia and the Arab-Israeli conflict. From 1949 to 1951, he was the editor of the editorial page at The Denver Post . Hoyt was the editor and publisher of the Colorado Springs Free Press from 1951 to 1955, and an associate editor of Collier's Weekly in New York from 1955 to 1956. In 1957 he was a television producer and writer- director at CBS, and in 1958 he was an assistant publisher of American Heritage magazine in New York. Starting in 1958, Hoyt was a full-time writer. [A 1] In the 40 years since his first publication in 1960, he produced nearly 200 books. While Hoyt wrote about 20 novels, [A 2] the vast majority of his works are biographies and other forms of non-fiction, with a heavy emphasis on military history, particularly World War II.

    Gazette Project Interview with Mort Stern, Georgetown, Colorado, 25 September 2000 Interviewer: Roy Reed Roy Reed: If you would, just say for the benefit of the tape that we have your permission to record this interview. Mort Stern: Yes, of course. I understand that it is being recorded. RR: And that it will be turned over to the University of Arkansas. MS: Right. RR: Mort, what kind of a kid were you? MS: What kind of a kid? Kind of a dream boat, I guess. I wanted to be a baseball player. My great love in life was to be a baseball player. My sideline was to be an artist. My hope was to be trained in art school in case I needed that skill. By that time, my mother had moved my brother and me to New York. I attended the High School of Music and Art, but the teachers said that I had no future as an artist because all my work looked like cartoons. My English teacher, Raymond Sayers, who took a liking to me, said, “Don’t worry. You can write. You can always go into journalism.” Really, I didn’t have any idea of the future except possibly being a baseball player. That was the life! I used to go around with a baseball glove attached to my belt in case I encountered a game. That was me! RR: Where were you born, to whom, and when? 1 MS: I was born in New Haven, Connecticut, February 20, l926. My mother, Louise Eleanor Spiro, had married William Bernard Stern.

This unique book draws on those sources and others to tell the story of the Pacific War from the viewpoint of the Japanese. Former Marine Corps officer and Asian scholar Paul Dull focuses on the major surface engagements of the war--Coral Sea, Midway, the crucial Solomons campaign, and the last-ditch battles in the Marianas and Philippines. Also included are detailed track charts and a selection of Japanese photographs of major vessels and actions.

Erickson Master of Arts Department of History September 2012 Title: “Their Flag and Skulls Are Ours”: Corporeal Trophy Taking in the Pacific War This thesis explores the taking of Japanese remains as trophies by American servicemen during the Second World War in the Pacific. It examines the historical and contemporary motives for American trophy taking in modern warfare and shows that corporeal trophy taking was both prevalent and multifaceted and how Japanese war materials and bodies were repurposed into trophied objects that were recorded, kept, displayed, exchanged, and even celebrated both in the battlefield and on the home front. This study also recognizes and analyzes relatively new and useful sources of evidence, such as recently published memoirs, artifacts, and digital social media, to expand our understanding of corporeal trophy taking as it occurred during the Pacific War.

Van Valkenburgh, Letter to Agnes Inglis, 1932 “The difficulty in finding perspective is related to the general American lack of a historical consciousness…Many young white activists still act as though they have nothing to learn from their sisters and brothers who struggled before them.” -George Lakey, Strategy for a Living Revolution, 1971 “From the start, anarchism was an open political philosophy, always transforming itself in theory and practice…Yet when people are introduced to anarchism today, that openness, combined with a cultural propensity to forget the past, can make it seem a recent invention—without an elastic tradition, filled with debates, lessons, and experiments to build on.” -Cindy Milstein, Anarchism and Its Aspirations, 2010 “Librarians have an ‘academic’ sense, and can’t bare to throw anything away! Even things they don’t approve of. They acquire a historic sense. At the time a hand-bill may be very ‘bad’! But the following day it becomes ‘historic.’” -Agnes Inglis, Letter to Highlander Folk School, 1944 “To keep on repeating the same attempts without an intelligent appraisal of all the numerous failures in the past is not to uphold the right to experiment, but to insist upon one’s right to escape the hard facts of social struggle into the world of wishful belief.

  • Suggestions for Further Reading
    Suggestions for Further Reading to accompany Michael C. C. Adams The Best War Ever Second Edition THIS ESSAY is not intended as an exhaustive discussion of every noteworthy work on World War II. Instead, it seeks to provide the reader with a guide to some of the sources I found most useful in writing the text and to give students and general readers a list of volumes for further study that are well written, informative, and provocative. At times, there are too few authorities on a subject to allow for this kind of selectivity. one No Easy Answers A good survey of the interaction of global events between the wars is Daniel R. Brower, The World in the Twentieth Century: The Age of Global War and Revolution (1988). Also valuable are Raymond J. Sontag, A Broken World, 1919–1939 (1971), and William W. MacDonald and John M. Carroll, eds., European Traditions in the Twentieth Century (1979). The importance of the right to bear arms in a civic context is explained by John Keegan in the opening sections of The Second World War (1990). I examine nineteenth-century Western male involvement with war in Michael C. C. Adams, The Great Adventure: Male Desire and the Coming of World War One (1990). The idea that monolithic dictatorships were in a worldwide conspiracy was stated clearly in a series of films called Why We Fight, made for the U.S. War Department by Frank Capra. The first episode, Prelude to War (1943), makes graphic use of the Tanaka memorandum. It is available in video format.

  • THE DEVELOPMENT of a DEATH CULT in 1930S JAPAN and the DECISION to DROP the ATOM BOMB
    Asian Affairs, 2016 Vol. XLVII, no. I, 1–31, http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/03068374.2015.1128682 THE DEVELOPMENT OF A DEATH CULT IN 1930s JAPAN AND THE DECISION TO DROP THE ATOM BOMB FRANCIS PIKE Francis Pike studied history at Cambridge and is a historian and economic and geo- political adviser. He lived and worked for 20 years in Japan, China and India and has advised financial institutions as well as governments in Japan, Australia, India, China, Singapore, Bangladesh, Europe, Eastern Europe, the Middle East and the United States. He is the author of Hirohito’s War: The Pacific War 1941–1945 (Bloomsbury, 2015) and Empires at War, A Short History of Modern Asia Since World War II (I.B.Tauris, 2010). Email: [email protected] The atom bomb debate With recent atrocities by ISIS jihadists in Istanbul, Egypt and Paris, it is a timely moment to remember that death cults – the worship and glorifica- tion of killing and being killed – are not unique to the Islamic world. In recent history the West has had to deal with the death cults of other cul- tures. The outstanding example is Japan in the period leading up to and including the Second World War, when that country’s dearth cult was brought to an end by America’s atom bomb. There are few subjects in modern history as contentious as the decision to drop the atom bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan in 1945. There is no doubt that the Pacific War came to an end soon afterwards with Emperor Hirohito’s announcement of surrender.

This digital version is published by McIntyre Library, University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, with the consent of the author. ii CONTENTS Abstract……………..…………………………………………………………………………….iii Introduction……..………………………………………………………………………………....1 James Webb…...…………………………………………………………………………………..4 Francis Sawyer…...………………………………………………………………………………12 Peter Weitz…...……………………………………………………………………..……………23 Bibliography……………………………………………………………………………………..32 iii Abstract: The following Paper covers World War II in the Pacific Theater. Furthermore the paper will focus on Wisconsin soldiers and the roles and experiences that they lived through during their deployments in the Pacific. This paper will compare and answer the question on whether or not the experiences that Wisconsin soldiers had were comparable to those of other soldiers from around the United States. This information was found by using interviews that were provided by the Library of Congress which has spent the last few years working on an oral history project concerning war veterans. The three gentlemen that were used for this were James Webb, Francis Sawyer, and Peter Weitz. 1 Throughout the twentieth century, there have been many events that have transpired in the world that could claim to be the most important moment of the century. World War II is that polarizing moment for more than just one particular reason. World War II brought the emergence of Adolf Hitler and his Nazi ideologies. This paper will cover Wisconsin soldiers and the role and experiences that they played in the Pacific Theater of World War II.

Scripps School of Journalism and the Scripps College of Communication by Michael S. Sweeney Professor of Journalism Scott Titsworth Dean, Scripps College of Communication ii Abstract WARD, KENNETH J., Ph.D., May 2018, Journalism America’s Last Newspaper War: One Hundred and Sixteen Years of Competition between the Denver Post and Rocky Mountain News Director of Dissertation: Michael S. Sweeney The Rocky Mountain News and Denver Post fought for dominance of the Denver, Colorado, newspaper market for more than a century, enduring vigorous competition in pursuit of monopoly control over a lucrative market. This frequently sensational, sometimes outlandish, and occasionally bloody battle spanned numerous eras of journalism, embodying the rise and fall of the newspaper industry during the twentieth century in the lead up to the decline of American newspapering and the death of the News, which ended the country’s last great newspaper war. This historical analysis charts the course of this competition throughout the lifetime of the News, which was founded in 1859. It begins by examining the Denver market’s early history, in which the News battled the city’s earlier newspapers for control in the decades before the Post’s founding.
