"Before reading The Panic of 1907, the year 1907 seemed like a long time ago and a different world. The authors, however, bring this story alive in a fast-moving book, and the reader sees how events of that time are very relevant for today's financial world. In spite of all of our advances, including a stronger monetary system and modern tools for managing risk, Bruner and Carr help us understand that we are not immune to a future crisis." —Dwight B. Crane, Baker Foundation Professor, Harvard Business School "Bruner and Carr provide a thorough, masterly, and highly readable account of the 1907 crisis and its management by the great private banker J. P. Morgan. Congress heeded the lessons of 1907, launching the Federal Reserve System in 1913 to prevent banking panics and foster financial stability. We still have financial problems. But because of 1907 and Morgan, a century later we have a respected central bank as well as greater confidence in our money and our banks than our great-grandparents had in theirs." —Richard Sylla, Henry Kaufman Professor of the History of Financial Institutions and Markets, and Professor of Economics, Stern School of Business, New York University "A fascinating portrayal of the events and personalities of the crisis and panic of 1907. Lessons learned and parallels to the present have great relevance. Crises and panics are as much a part of our future as our past." —John Strangfeld, Vice Chairman, Prudential Financial "Who would have thought that a hundred years after the Panic of 1907 so much remained to be written about it? Bruner and Carr break significant new ground because they are willing to do the heavy lifting of combing through massive archival material to identify and weave together important facts. Their book will be of interest not only to banking theorists and financial historians, but also to business school and economics students, for its rare ability to teach so clearly why and how a panic unfolds." —Charles Calomiris, Henry Kaufman Professor of Financial Institutions, Columbia University, Graduate School of Business

The past century has been an exciting era for the Bengalis in Malaysia attempting to preserve our identity and cultural heritage. However with the dilution of the community the radar for the coming years is misty. In the course of our efforts to uphold our identity and provide services to the public and be counted, we have not lost sight of our primary professional responsibility as doctors. Many have contributed towards the advancement of the profession by actively participating in research as well as providing financial grants. It is an opportune time to write this book. Our identity might be totally lost in the next 100 years except for the imposing edifice of Bengal House in Port Dickson, Negri Sembilan to bear testimony to the once thriving, vibrant proud Bengali community. The publication would be collecting dust and cobwebs and would be useful only to historians possibly excavating into our possible extinct past. Since commencing this book, two very prominent senior members have passed away, and it is most unfortunate that they have not seen this humble effort. We live in a global world transcending geographical boundaries and preservation of the last vestiges of our heritage should be the responsibility of each and every one of us. The objectives of undertaking this Herculean task which hopefully have been fulfilled were an attempt to: Compile a list of Bengali doctors since their first arrival more than 100 years ago in what was then Malaya together with the subsequent 2nd & 3rd generation doctors born here. Some names might have been left out inadvertently for which sincere apologies are extended while a handful had not responded to repeated efforts to contact them or their next of kin. Explore the reasons for their migration. Many who were from the same district of East Bengal as Rai Bahadur Dr Sarojininath Bardhans and were related to him through his marriages were probably influenced by his success. Some arrived to avoid political persecutions. Global conditions such as World Wars I &II and the Great Depression of the 1930s obviously played an important part in the decision making process. The Post World War II years witnessed the return of local doctors whose studies were interrupted and a couple had harrowing experiences to narrate. Some contract doctors were also recruited directly by private local clinics. Highlight the decades of the 50&60s which could be rightly considered as the golden era for the Bengali doctors. There were insufficient numbers of local graduates to fill the posts as most of the Chinese doctors went into the vast lucrative private sector while very few Malays had taken up Medicine. Although a large number had applied from Bengal, only about 35-40 doctors including a few with post graduate qualifications were recruited. Some climbed up the ranks and became senior administrative officers, appointed not on the basis of availability but because of their capability and proven track records. In the1960s, the Medical Faculty of University of Malaya was established in Kuala Lumpur and some Calcutta graduates with post graduate qualifications from the United Kingdom were offered key posts to help jump start certain disciplines. This was an excellent testimony of the academic standards of Calcutta University graduates. These two decades also witnessed the successes of the 2nd generation Bengalis with a couple completing their post graduate medical studies in double-quick time. The first Malaysian Radiologist to start Angiographic studies and to be awarded a neuro-vascular fellowship in Sweden in 1968/69 was a Bengali. In view of the limited number of super scale posts, many however were given glorified titles of State Physicians or Surgeons despite being only Clinical Specialists! Reiterate the contributions of Bengali doctors towards the Malayanisation of the medical and health services in the two states of Sabah & Sarawak in early 1970s. The efforts of Dr. Rabindranath Roy in unifying

At the beginning of the 20th century, the military importance of the Hawaiian Islands became clear. Oahu in particular was a key bastion in projecting America's military power in the Pacific. The island was turned into a military fortress and yet it also became the site of one of America's greatest defensive failures, the Japanese attack of December 7, 1941. By the end of World War II, the harbor itself was the most heavily defended in the world, and the island had earned the sobriquet "Fortress Oahu". This title documents the development of the coastal, air and land defense systems that served to protect Pearl Harbor and Honolulu from 1907 to 1950, and seeks to understand why these failed at a critical point.
