Out of the Cold
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page book review on “Out of the Cold: New Thinking for American Foreign and Defense Policy in the 21st Century,” by Robert S. McNamara. This was a book written very shortly before the end of the Cold War and as such presents a very unique look into one man’s opinions about where the power struggle between East and West, was heading.

U. S. – Russia Relations: After The Cold War
[ send me this paper ]
9 pages. A great relaxation of Russian-American tensions has taken place since the Cold War, and it is much less likely we will see the sort of superpower confrontations that took place during the Cold War, such as the Berlin Blockade of 1948-1949 and the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. There now appears to be a pattern in which we see U. S. – Russian global cooperation, as we saw by the closely coordinated Russian and American policies toward Iraq after it invaded Kuwait.

Camus' The Plague and Wiesel's Night

Albert Camus’ The Plague As Political Allegory
[ send me this paper ]
The Plague by Albert Camus is not generally considered as a political treatise but, rather, as a philosophical work on the subject of ethics. Camus believes that the evils that lie in wait for the unsuspecting can be battled through knowledge and the ability to learn from the mistakes of history. This 5 page critique argues that the reactions of most when confronted by something as insidious and seemingly natural as the plague and, or, fascism is fear; and fear tends to make followers out of people. The denial that evolves from fear assists those seeking power to intimidate and control. No additional sources are listed.

Fascism, Rats and The Plague
[ send me this paper ]
The Plague by Albert Camus is a thinly disguised treatise against the totalitarian states of Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany. The analogy of the plague as compared with the encroachment and devastating effect of these political forces is obvious, given the time of the writing and the known views of the author. This 8 page paper suggests that there also exists a comparison between the rats that brought the plague and fascist philosophy. The question is asked: How is the return of the rats interpreted through the fascist philosophy as presented by Giovanni Gentile? To answer this, the first section gives background information on Fascism, the second section deals with Gentile and his philosophies and the final section looks at the metaphor of the rat as presented in The Plague.

Camus & Wiesel/A Comparison
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page analysis of The Plague by Albert Camus and Night by Elie Wiesel.

Wiesel's book concerns the Holocaust and Camus' work appear to be about a plague hitting the French town of Oran. However, Camus' work is intended to be read as an allegory and this story, also, deals with the ravages committed against the human soul by Nazism. No additional sources cited.
