Maynard Brichford - Bob Zuppke, The Life and Footb all Legacy of the Illinois Coach (2009).jpg

Bob Zuppke was head football coach at the University of Illinois from 1912 to 1941, a period that saw two world wars, a major economic depression, and significant changes in higher education and the role of sports, as major intercollegiate competitions became primary public relations events for the most competitive universities. Often credited with several significant football innovations including the huddle, Zuppke won two national championships and won or tied for seven Big Ten conference titles. This biography of Zuppke is a study of his passion forfootball , his advocacy for its educational value and his ability to promote and market the game to the academic community and the general public. It places him in the context of multiple themes, including the development of interscholastic, intercollegiate and professionalfootball; presidential support and public relations; sports psychology; stadium building and commercial sports; academic criticism; the fraternity system; boosters; and sports in a state-supported public university.

Oren Harari - The Leadership Secrets of Colin Powe ll (2002).jpg

Even before the events of last fall, Powell was well regarded by the military and civilians around the world. Now, as secretary of state during the war against terrorism, Powell's intelligence and skills as manager, negotiator and leader are even more visible. Harari, a management professor and consultant, met Powell several years ago, but wrote this book without his cooperation. The author has used Powell's own words, from his autobiography and presentations, to create a primer of Powell's leadership secrets. The book reads much like an introductory textbook, explaining key phrases, quotes, anecdotes and principles. Powell's style is somewhat unusual for a military leader.

Jack Shulimson, Wanda J. Renfrow - Marines in the Spanish-American War, 1895-1899, anthology and ann otated bibliography (1998).jpg

01 - USA - Jack Shulimson, Wanda J. Renfrow - Marines in the Spani..., 1895-1899, anthology and annotated bibliography 1998.jpg

The modern Marine Corps owes its genesis to the Spanish-American War when the United States entered the world stage. In this the 100th anniversary year of the war with Spain, the History and Museums Division decided upon a new publication about the Marine Corps participation in the conflict. At first, the thought was to write a new history, but upon examination of the historical literature of the war, we discovered a trove of new writings (and some old) that deserved further exploitation. The upshot is this anthology.
The Director Emeritus of the Division, Brigadier General Edwin H. Simmons, Jr., USMC (Ret), in his revised history, The United States Marines: A History, 3d Edition, U.S. Naval Institute Press, 1998, provides a brief overview of the Marines in the Spanish-American War. In the chapter reprinted here, "The Spanish-American War," Simmons opens his narrative with the sinking of the U.S. battleship Maine with Private William Anthony, the Marine orderly, entering the cabin of Captain Charles Sigsbee, saluting smartly, and then stating, "Sir, I beg to report that the Captain's ship is sinking." The author covers succinctly the formation and deployment of the 1st Marine Battalion, Marines with Dewey in the Philippines, the 1st Battalion at Guantanamo, the defeat of the Spanish fleet in Santiago Bay, and the taking of Guam. He then ends with Admiral Dewey's lament that only if he had 5,000 Marines he could have captured Manila.

Alan Conway - The Welsh in America, Letters From t he Immigrants (2009).jpg

The Welsh formed a small but significant part of the great migration from Europe to the United States during the nineteenth century. In this volume they tell their own story in letters they wrote from America to their families and friends back home. The letters are highly readable, written, for the most part, in vivid and entertaining style which reveals the Welsh as an unusually literate people. The 197 letters are arranged chronologically and geographically, starting with letters that tell of the voyage across the Atlantic. Once in America, the immigrants described their experiences in the farming country of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and some of the other midwestern states. Later, as the frontier moved west, they wrote of their efforts to establish exclusive Welsh settlements on the Great Plains. From the industrial centers there are letters from coal miners and iron and steel workers. The fortune seekers who went to California in the gold rush or to the mines in Colorado are also represented. Still others tell of their search for salvation in the Mormon Zion of Utah. For each chapter or group of letters Mr. Conway has written an introduction giving the general background of the region or period and relating it to the Welsh settlers. Thus the events chronicled and the views expressed in the letters become significant in the history of the times. The majority of the letters were written in Welsh and they appear here in translation. Some were obtained from the files of old newspapers or denominational magazines; others came from the collections of the National Library of Wales or from individuals.

Allison Varzally - Making a Non-White America, Cal ifornians Coloring outside Ethnic Lines, 1925-1955 (2008).jpg

What happens in a society so diverse that no ethnic group can call itself the majority? Exploring a question that has profound relevance for the nation as a whole, this study looks closely at eclectic neighborhoods in California where multiple minorities constituted the majority during formative years of the twentieth century. In a lively account, woven throughout with vivid voices and experiences drawn from interviews, ethnic newspapers, and memoirs, Allison Varzally examines everyday interactions among the Asian, Mexican, African, Native, and Jewish Americans, and others who lived side by side. What she finds is that in shared city spaces across California, these diverse groups mixed and mingled as students, lovers, worshippers, workers, and family members and, along the way, expanded and reconfigured ethnic and racial categories in new directions.

Dana D. Nelson - The Word in Black and White, Read ing ''Race'' in American Literature, 1638-1867 (19 92).jpg

Nelson provides a study of the ways in which Anglo-American authors constructed "race" in their works from the time of the first British colonists through the period of the Civil War. She focuses on some eleven texts, ranging from widely-known to little-considered, that deal with the relations among Native, African, and Anglo-Americans, and places her readings in the historical, social, and material contexts of an evolving U.S. colonialism and internal imperialism.Nelson shows how a novel such as The Last of the Mohicans sought to reify the Anglo historical past and simultaneously suggested strategies that would serve Anglo-Americans against Native Americans as the frontier pushed further west. Concluding her work with a reading of Harriet Jacobs's Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl Nelson shows how that text undercuts the racist structures of the pre-Civil War period by positing a revised model of sympathy that authorizes alternative cultural perspectives and requires Anglo-Americans to question their own involvement with racism.

Janet Grat - Race and Time, American Women's Poeti cs from Antislavery to Racial Modernity (2004).jpg

Race and Time urges our attention to women’s poetry in considering the cultural history of race. Building on close readings of well-known and less familiar poets—including Elizabeth Margaret Chandler, Sarah Louisa Forten, Hannah Flagg Gould, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, Sarah Piatt, Mary Eliza Tucker Lambert, Sarah Josepha Hale, Eliza Follen, and Mary Mapes Dodge—Janet Gray traces tensions in women’s literary culture from the era of abolitionism to the rise of the Plantation tradition. She devotes a chapter to children’s verse, arguing that racial stereotypes work as "nonsense" that masks conflicts in the construction of white childhood. A compilation of the poems cited, most of which are difficult to find elsewhere, is included as an appendix.Gray clarifies the cultural roles women’s poetry played in the nineteenth-century United States and also reveals that these poems offer a fascinating, dynamic, and diverse field for students of social and cultural history. Gray’s readings provide a rich sense of the contexts in which this poetry is embedded and examine its aesthetic and political vitality in meticulous detail, linking careful explication of the texts with analysis of the history of poetry, canons, literacy, and literary authority.Race and Time distinguishes itself from other critical studies not only through its searching, in-depth readings but also through its sustained attention to less known poets and its departure from a Dickinson-centered model. Most significantly, it offers a focus on race, demonstrating how changes in both the U.S. racial structure and women’s place in public culture set the terms for change in how women poets envisioned the relationship between poetry and social power.

Jerry Taylor - Last Out, 4Rar-Nz (Anzac) Battalion 's Second Tour in Vietnam.jpg

How did infantry and armour attack a Viet Cong bunker system? What was it that persuaded men to go forward to possible death or wounding, when all their instincts told them that safety lay behind them? Who were the aggressive enemy they faced, and how were they organized, armed, equipped and resupplied? And what were the skills, tactics and techniques needed to live, fight and survive on the jungle battlefield of Vietnam? This is the story of the training and preparation for war of 4RAR/NZ (ANZAC) Battalion and the Australians and New Zealanders who made up this outstanding infantry battalion in 1970-71. Stand beside the commanders and men as they go into battle; toil with them under their loads of weapons and equipment; and experience through their eyes everything from the one-on-one contact between two opposing scouts, to set-piece attacks into enemy bunker systems supported by tanks, armoured personnel carriers, artillery and aircraft. When the Battalion makes contact with the 33 North Vietnamese Army regiment, follow the 14-hour action minute to minute, and wait in the dark with the surrounded men of ANZAC for the enemy's final attack. This is the account of the last battles fought by Australians and New Zealanders in the Vietnam War.

Kevin J. Middlebrook, Carlos Rico - The United Sta tes and Latin America in the 1980s (1986).jpg

This work provides an up-to-date view of Latin America politically, economically, and internationally in terms of its relations with the United States, and where it is likely to find itself in the short term. The strength of the book, which is divided into four sections covering such timely subjects as debt, human rights, security, trade, and migration, lies with the breadth of views presented, the quality of the scholarship, and the imaginative and sometimes highly critical commentaries. A valuable source for the pros and cons of the most contentious interpretations currently in vogue among academic and government experts. Recommended for most libraries. Roderic A. Camp, Latin American Studies Dept., Central Coll., Pella, Ia.
