Arc of Containment recasts the history of American empire in Southeast and East Asia from World War II through the end of American intervention in Vietnam. Setting aside the classic story of anxiety about falling dominoes, Wen-Qing Ngoei articulates a new regional history premised on strong security and sure containment guaranteed by Anglo-American cooperation.Ngoei argues that anticommunist nationalism in Southeast Asia intersected with preexisting local antipathy toward China and the Chinese diaspora to usher the region from European-dominated colonialism to US hegemony. Central to this revisionary strategic assessment is the place of British power and the effects of direct neocolonial military might and less overt cultural influences based on decades of colonial rule, as well as the considerable influence of Southeast Asian actors upon Anglo-American imperial strategy throughout the post-war period. Arc of Containment demonstrates that American failure in Vietnam had less long-term consequences than widely believed because British pro-West nationalism had been firmly entrenched twenty-plus years earlier. In effect, Ngoei argues, the Cold War in Southeast Asia was but one violent chapter in the continuous history of western imperialism in the region in the twentieth century

"Ein Porträt vom Leben, Werk und Wirken der Ärztin Rahel Liebeschütz-Plaut. Rahel Liebeschütz-Plaut - 1923 die erste habilitierte Ärztin an der Medizinischen Fakultät in Hamburg und dritte habilitierte Ärztin überhaupt in Deutschland - musste als Jüdin nach der Machtergreifung der Nationalsozialisten ihren Beruf aufgeben. Bis sie 1938 mit ihrer Familie nach England emigrierte, hatte sie auf vielen Ebenen die zunehmende Entrechtung und Isolation der Juden erlebt. Um ihren Enkelkindern die Gründe für die Auswanderung zu erklären, hat sie berührende Erinnerungen an die Zeit in Hamburg von 1932 bis 1938 verfasst, die hier erstmals veröffentlicht werden. Den Erinnerungen ist eine Biographie vorangestellt, die Aspekte der Juden- und Frauenemanzipation aufgreift und eine ungewöhnliche Familiengeschichte erzählt. Im dritten Teil des Buchs wird die Bedeutung von Rahel Liebeschütz-Plauts wissenschaftlicher Forschung im historischen Kontext beschrieben."
