Content: "Wenn unser Überleben auf der Tagesordnung steht, dann werden Bücher, wie die von Günther Anders, benötigt, die das Bewusstsein verbreiten und stärken, dass wir - vielleicht - die Grenze unserer Existenz erreicht haben" Aus der Urkunde des Theodor-W.-Adorno-Preises 1983 Im Vorwort der Erstausgabe schrieb Günther Anders: "Nicht unmöglich, dass sich durch das Gelingen der vietnamesischen Offensive die Lage radikal zum Guten wendet, oder - wer weiß? - durch den Einsatz taktischer nuklearer Waffen radikal zum Schlimmen wenden werde. Und durchaus nicht undenkbar, dass sich unter Umständen die Frage erheben wird, ob denn die hier vorgelegten Analysen (unterstellt, sie seien zur Zeit ihrer Niederschrift gültig gewesen) auch heute noch gültig seien." Angesichts des russischen Angriffskriegs in der Ukraine, ist man geneigt, diese "Vermutung" zu bejahen. Denn ersetzt man "vietnamesische Offensive" mit "ukrainischer Offensive" und denkt beim "Einsatz taktischer nuklearer Waffen" nicht an amerikanische (was seinerzeit nicht unmöglich war und dann doch nicht stattfand, obwohl amerikanische Militärs darauf gedrängt hatten), sondern an russische, dann haben die Äußerungen des Philosophen Anders etwas sehr "Realpolitisches".

Note: Günther Anders (1902-1992) gehört zu den bedeutendsten Philosophen des 20. Jahrhunderts. Von den Nationalsozialisten aus Deutschland vertrieben, schlug er sich im Exil in Paris und den USA mit Gelegenheitsjobs durch. In den 50er Jahren avancierte er, nach Europa zurückgekehrt, zum "wahrscheinlich schärfsten und luzidesten Kritiker der technischen Welt" (Jean Améry). Seine Texte zur Atomgefahr beeinflussten die deutsche Friedensbewegung nachhaltig. Er war Mitglied des Russell-Tribunals über die US-amerikanischen Kriegsverbrechen in Vietnam. Zu seinen wichtigsten Werken zählen Die Antiquiertheit des Menschen (2 Bde., 1956 und 1980) und Die atomare Drohung (7. Aufl. 2003). Seit 2012 erscheinen bei C.H.Beck regelmäßig neue Editionen aus dem Nachlass. Bernd Greiner ist Historiker, Politikwissenschaftler und Amerikanist mit den Schwerpunkten USGeschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts. Zahlreiche Publikationen u. a. über den Vietnam-Krieg. Zuletzt erschien seine Biographie über Henry Kissinger im C.H. Beck Verlag. Gerhard Oberschlick ist ein österreichischer Publizist und war Herausgeber der Zeitschrift FORVM, in der Günther Anders viel publiziert hat. Er verwaltet den Nachlass von Günther Anders.

Content: "Richard Roud, film writer and co-founder and director of the New York Film Festival, was one of the most influential film critics of the twentieth century. Renowned for his close relationships with French New Wave directors such as Godard and Truffaut, he played a key role in bringing European art cinema to the attention of American and British audiences. This anthology brings together selected writings from his published works with previously unpublished archival material - from an unfinished study of Truffaut, to extracts from his books on film-makers such as Straub-Huillet and Ophüls, and articles for The Guardian and Sight & Sound. Charting Roud's journey through the world of film festivals and film criticism from the 1950s to the 1980s, Decades Never Start on Time provides a fascinating insight into the flourishing film culture of the era. With a preface by David Thomson."--Bloomsbury Publishing

Series Statement: Modern war studies

Content: "One visitor described it as "a great white angel spreading her wings across the Moreno Varley." Our nation's first memorial to veterans of the Vietnam War stands atop a windswept hillcrest near Taos at a stunning stop along New Mexico's "Enchanted Circle." Originally built by a local businessman to honor his fallen son, it has become a touchstone for America's veterans and remains a moving shrine for all who visit. Steve Trout provides the memorial's first comprehensive history, tracing its evolution from a particular tragic mission in Vietnam to its emergence as an iconic symbol. Steve has obtained the full cooperation of the surviving family member, Walter Westphall, and has used letters and other primary sources not only to construct the history of the memorial but to infuse the story with humanity."--
