Edgar Hoover and his executive officers to subvert King's ambitious effort to force the federal government to live up to its promises of a Great Society. The book also looks at King's last days as he helped Memphis sanitation workers in their labor~cum~civil rights struggle with a recalcitrant and racist city government. Although there is no persuasive evidence that the FBI and the Memphis police conspired to assassinate King, McKnight marshals evidence to show that neither agency was blameless. The conventional view of the Poor People's Campaign is that it was a self~inflicted failure. The blame rested squarely on the shoulders of the second~raters of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference who failed to fill the leadership vacuum after King's assassination. But, as McKnight shows, there was a hidden, dark counterpoint to the accepted version~namely, the triumph of the 1960s American surveillance state and its repressive power and flagrant violation of protected freedoms. In fact, whatever the FBI wanted to do to disrupt the Campaign, it did, aided and abetted by local police agencies and elements of the federal government, including military intelligence. …

In posing this question and others, The Elusive Messiah opens a window for a new look at the age old problem of faith versus reason. To fully understand the implications of the historical search, Raymond Martin suggests we must first examine the inquiries of the individual scholars. In the book's first part. he provides an insightful overview of the major players who have written on the subject. among them E. P. Sanders, John Meier, Elizabeth Schussler Fiorenza, J. D. Crossan, Marcus Borg, and N. T. Wright. In critiquing their views, Martin explores the role of what he takes to be an anti~theology theology in secular historical methods. In the second part, Martin discusses various Christian responses to the challenges presented by the historians' work, including the response proposed by Luke Timothy Johnson. Martin goes on to argue philosophically that unless one adopts a radical, multi~perspectival view of the historical Jesus, faith and reason not only may, but must coexist alongside each other. Finally, Martin assesses the impact on the future of Christianity of the challenge posed by historical Jesus studies to traditional Christian belief. Through readily understandable language and examples, Martin poses basic questions, looks for the answers, and explains how these answers correspond to larger issues. His accessible writing synthesizes complex academic arguments in ways that bring them down to earth, enabling Christians and other readers to understand what is being claimed and to test these claims for meaningfulness. …

POWs. borneo. sandakam death marches. gunritsu kaiga. japanese cannibalism. unit 731. biological warfare. civilian massacres. ~ This book documents for the first time previously hidden Japanese atrocities in World War II, including cannibalism; the slaughter and starvation of prisoners of war; the rape, enforced prostitution, and murder of noncombatants; and biological warfare experiments. The author describes how desperate Japanese soldiers consumed the flesh of their own comrades killed in fighting as well as that of Australians, Pakistanis, and Indians. Another chapter traces the fate of 65 shipwrecked Australian nurses and British soldiers who were shot or stabbed to death by Japanese soldiers. Thirty~two other nurses, who landed on another island, were captured and sent to Sumatra to become "comfort women"~prostitutes for Japanese soldiers. Tanaka recounts how thousands of Australian and British POWs died in the infamous Sandakan camp in the Borneo jungle in 1945. Those who survived were forced to endure a tortuous 160~mile march on which anyone who dropped out of line was immediately shot. Only six escapees lived to tell the tale. Based on exhaustive research in previously closed archives, this book represents a landmark analysis of Japanese war crimes. The author explores individual atrocities in their broader social, psychological, and institutional milieu and places Japanese behavior during the war in the broader context of the dehumanization of men at war~without denying individual and national responsibility. …

Drawing on his firsthand experiences, Mark Huband moves deep inside the contemporary Islamic movements of countries as diverse as Morocco and Afghanistan. Huband reveals how Western powers have contributed to the rise of Islamic movements by their earlier support of the Afghan Islamic resistance and gives detailed accounts of his discussions with militant groups, Muslim scholars, and political opponents of the Islamic movements involved in the phenomenon of political Islam in the late 1990s. Enriching these discussions, the author contextualizes the movements by exploring their historical and intellectual framework. The book uniquely illustrates the variety found within the movements, as well as the range of relationships the Islamic movements have to the various countries in which they are active. Warriors of the Prophet details the current crisis in Algeria; the emergence of Egypt as the intellectual powerhouse of Islamic political thought; the social breakdown of Somalia and attempts to heal its wounds through the imposition of strict Islamic principles; the disaffected youth in the Islamic movements of Morocco, Egypt, and elsewhere; and the Islamic experiment and its relationship with the non~Islamic world as revealed in Sudan's experience since 1989. Through these insightful accounts, Huband gives us a penetrating exploration of one of the major issues of the late twentieth century.…

The Court will decide whether the Constitution permits the intentional creation of black-majority electoral districts to comply with the Federal Voting Rights Act. That act prohibits minority vote dilution, which occurs where districts neutralize the votes of members of a racial minority group by submerging them within a sea of white voters hostile to the election of a minority-supported candidate. For example, until black-majority districts were drawn before the 1992 election, five Southern states, each with a substantial African-American population, had not sent a single black representative to congress this century. . .
