He joined singer-bassist Geddy Lee and guitarist Alex Lifeson in Rush in 1974, and his musicianship and literate, philosophical lyrics – which initially drew on Ayn Rand and science fiction, and later became more personal and emotive – helped make the trio one of the classic-rock era’s essential bands. Peart was one of rock’s greatest drummers, with a flamboyant yet precise style that paid homage to his hero, the Who’s Keith Moon, while expanding the technical and imaginative possibilities of his instrument. A representative for the band confirmed the news to Rolling Stone. The cause was brain cancer, which Peart had been quietly battling for three-and-a-half years.

Richard Koenigsberg shows that Hitler waged war based on the wish for the annihilation-not only of the Jews-but of himself, his nation and the German people. Genocide and Warfare were two sides of the same coin: A massive sacrificial project requiring that everyone die for Germany. to the Holocaust,Nations Have the Right to Killmarks a seminal contribution.isbn: 0915042231. But then Hitler reflected: If the leader of a great nation has the right to send its “best” people to their deaths-its own soldiers-why does this leader not also have the right to send the “worst” people to die? He declared that if millions of Germans had to perish in the next war, he would not shrink from making this sacrifice. Once having attained power as Chancellor of Germany, Hitler-who had fought in the First World War-began planning a Second World War. Hitler reasoned that if he had the right to sacrifice his soldiers, he also had the right to send Jews to their deaths. Why did Hitler believe that it was necessary to destroy the Jewish race? What was the purpose and meaning of this extraordinary project that the Nazis called “The Final Solution?” Richard Koenigsberg shows how genocide grew out of the logic of warfare. What drives societies toward violent political conflicts that result in massive destruction and self-destruction? Focusing on the case of Hitler and Nazism, Nations Have the Right to Kill examines the ideas and ideologies that generate warfare and genocide. Well over 200 million people died in the Twentieth Century as a result of actions undertaken by nations. Purchase on Amazon: About Nations Have the Right to Kill It was around 1904 that Gandhi began to think about his ‘duty’ to the wider community, and not just to his clients, although Swan argues that at that time Gandhi was still thinking about the wider middle classes, and not indentured labourers or non-Indians. Indian traders and middle classes had already formed associations to represent their interests before Gandhi arrived in South Africa. Gandhi, as Maureen Swan has demonstrated, was not the initiator of Indian political activity in Natal and South Africa. Yet for some critics he was too constrained by the limits of his middle-class formation and failed to generalise his commitment to a truly universal philosophy of human rights. From a representative of a small faction of one ethnic group Gandhi was forced by the logic of his ‘experiments with truth’ to become a defender of the rights of the oppressed and downtrodden. Gandhi himself was transformed by the struggles he waged: his first battles for the rights of a small group of Indians in South Africa eventually broadened his outlook into a more universal struggle for human rights. Gandhi’s campaigns forged a new form of struggle against oppression that became a model for political and ethical struggles in other parts of the world – especially in India (the struggle for independence) and the United States (the civil rights campaign of the 1960s). The passive resistance campaigns led by MK Gandhi in South Africa had huge consequences not only for the history of the country but also for world history in general.
