In Freedom " Osho outlines three stages of freedom.

As the countrys first African American military pilots the Tuskegee Airmen fought in World War II on two fronts: against the Axis powers in the skies over Europe & against Jim Crow racism & segregation at home. Although the pilots flew more than 15 000 sorties & destroyed more than 200 German aircraft their most far-reaching achievement defies quantification: delivering a powerful blow to racial inequality & discrimination in American life. In this inspiring account of the Tuskegee Airmen historian J. Todd Moye captures the challenges & triumphs of these brave pilots in their own words drawing on more than 800 interviews recorded for the National Park Services Tuskegee Airmen Oral History Project. Denied the right to fully participate in the U.S. war effort alongside whites at the beginning of World War II African Americans--spurred on by black newspapers & civil rights organizations such as the NAACP--compelled the prestigious Army Air Corps to open its training programs to black pilots despite the objections of its top generals. Thousands of young men came from every part of the country to Tuskegee Alabama in the heart of the segregated South to enter the program which expanded in 1943 to train multi-engine bomber pilots in addition to fighter pilots. By the end of the war Tuskegee Airfield had become a small city populated by black mechanics parachute packers doctors & nurses. Together they helped prove that racial segregation of the fighting forces was so inefficient as to be counterproductive to the nations defense. Freedom Flyers brings to life the legacy of a determined visionary cadre of African American airmen who proved their capabilities & patriotism beyond question transformed the armed forces--formerly the nations most racially polarized institution--and jump-started the modern struggle for racial equality. ...

Why do so many people around the world appear willing to give up freedoms in return for security or prosperity? For the past 60 years it had been assumed that capitalism was intertwined with liberal democracy. But what happens when both are undermined? Governments globally have drawn up a new pact with their peoples: repression is confined to the few who openly challenge the status quo. The rest of the population can enjoy freedom to live more or less as they wish & to make & spend their money. This is the difference between public freedoms & private freedoms. We choose different freedoms we are prepared to cede. We all do it. Freedom for Sale will set a new agenda. It will crucially ask why so many intelligent & ambitious citizens around the world seemed prepared to sacrifice freedom of the press & freedom of speech in their quest for wealth. ...

Between 1929 & 1945 two great travails were visited upon the American people: the Great Depression & World War II. Freedom from Fear tells the story of how Americans endured & eventually prevailed in the face of those unprecedented calamities. The Depression was both a disaster & an opportunity. As David Kennedy vividly demonstrates the economic crisis of the 1930s was far more than a simple reaction to the alleged excesses of the 1920s. For more than a century before 1929 Americas unbridled industrial revolution had gyrated through repeated boom & bust cycles wastefullly consuming capital & inflicting untold misery on city & countryside alike. Nor was the fabled prosperity of the 1920s as uniformly shared a legend portrays. Countless Americans especially if they were farmers African Americans or recent immigrants eked out thread bare lives on the margins of national life. For them the Depression was but another of the ordeals of fear & insecurity with which they were sadly familiar. Franklin Roosevelts New Deal wrung from the trauma of the 1930s a lasting legacy of economic & social reform including the Social Security Act new banking & financial laws regulatory legislation & new opportunities for organized labour. Taken together those reforms gave a measure of security to millions of Americans who had never had much of it & with a fresh sense of having a stake in their country. Freedom from Fear tells the story of the New Deals achievements without slighting its shortcomings contradictions & failures. It is a story rich in drama & peopled with unforgettable personalities including the incandescent but enigmatic figure of Roosevelt himself. Even as the New Deal was coping with the Depression a still more fearsome menace was developing abroad
- Hitlers thirst for war in Europe coupled with the imperial ambitions of Japan in Asia. The same generation of Americans who battled the Depression eventually had to shoulder the arms in another conflict that wreaked world wide destruction ushered in the nuclear age & forever changed their own way of life & their countrys relationship to the rest of the world. Freedom from Fear explains how the nation agonized over its role in World War II how it fought the war why the United States won & why the consequences of victory were sometimes sweet sometimes ironic. In a compelling narrative Kenney analyses the determinants of American strategy the painful choices faced by commanders & statesmen & the agonies inflicted on the millions of ordinary Americans who were compelled to swallow their fears & face battle as best they could. Freedom from Fear is a comprehensive & colourful account of the most convulsive period in American history excepting only the Civil War
- a period that formed the crucible in which modern America was formed.
