Paul Johnson - George Washington, The Founding Fat her (2005).jpeg

01 - USA - Paul Johnson - George Washington, The Founding Father 2005.jpeg
George Washington is by far the most important figure in the history of the United States. Against all military odds, he liberated the thirteen colonies from the superior forces of the British Empire and presided over the process to produce and ratify a Constitution that (suitably amended) has lasted for more than two hundred years. In two terms as president, he set that Constitution to work with such success that, by the time he finally retired, America was well on its way to becoming the richest and most powerful nation on earth.

Despite his importance, Washington remains today a distant figure to many Americans. Previous books about him are immensely long, multivolume, and complicated. Paul Johnson has now produced a brief life that presents a vivid portrait of the great man as young warrior, masterly commander-in-chief, patient Constitution maker, and exceptionally wise president. He also shows Washington as a farmer of unusual skill and an entrepreneur of foresight, patriarch of an extended family, and proprietor of one of the most beautiful homes in America, which he largely built and adorned.

Trenchant and original as ever, Johnson has given us a brilliant, sharply etched portrait of this iconic figure—both as a hero and as a man.

Kevin Dougherty - The Peninsula Campaign of 1862, A Military Analysis (2005).jpg

01 - USA - Kevin Dougherty - The Peninsula Campaign of 1862, A Military Analysis 2005.jpg
The largest offensive of the Civil War, involving army, navy, and marine forces, the Peninsula Campaign has inspired many history books. No previous work, however, analyzes Union general George B. McClellan's massive assault toward Richmond in the context of current and enduring military doctrine. The Peninsula Campaign of 1862: A Military Analysis fills this void. Background history is provided for continuity, but the heart of this book is military analysis and the astonishing extent to which the personality traits of generals often overwhelm even the best efforts of their armies.

Pamela Chase Hain - A Confederate Chronicle, The L ife of a Civil War Survivor (2005).jpg

01 - USA - Pamela Chase Hain - A Confederate Chronicle, The Life of a Civil War Survivor 2005.jpg
A "Confederate Chronicle" presents the remarkable life of Thomas L Wragg, who served in both the Confederate army and navy and endured incarceration as a prisoner of war. Pamela Chase Hain uses Wragg's letters to his family, friends, and fiancee, as well as his naval notebook and newspaper articles, to give readers insight into his life and the lives of those around him. Born into a life of wealth and privilege, Wragg left home at eighteen to join the front lines in Virginia. From there, he sent letters home describing the maneuvering of General Joseph E Johnston's army in and around Harpers Ferry and Winchester, culminating with the Battle of Bull Run. In 1862, Wragg joined the Confederate Navy and trained on the ironclad CSS Georgia before transferring to the CSS Atlanta. Hain uses the notebooks that he kept during his training to provide a rare glimpse into the naval and artillery practices at the time. These notebooks also provide evidence of a fledgling Confederate naval "school" prior to the one established on the CSS Patrick Henry. The crew of Atlanta was captured on the ship's maiden voyage, and Wragg was sent to Fort Warren Prison in Boston. Wragg's POW letters reveal the isolation and sense of abandonment the prisoners felt as they waited in hopes of an exchange. The correspondence between Wragg and his fiancee, Josie, after the war illustrates not only the mores of nineteenth-century courtship but also the difficulty of adjustment that many Confederate war veterans faced. Sadly, Wragg's life was cut short after he became a successful doctor in Quincy, Florida. Cover-up and intrigue by powerful and influential citizens prevented Wragg's wife from bringing the murderer to justice. "A Confederate Chronicle" offers an unprecedented look at how the Civil War affected the gentry class of the South.

William B. Breuer - The Spy Who Spent the War in B ed, And Other Bizarre Tales from World War II (200 3).jpg

01 - USA - William B. Breuer - The Spy Who Spent the War in Bed, And Other Bizarre Tales from World War II 2003.jpg
A rare treat for World War II history buffs and fans of the strange, absurd, and unexplained
Acclaimed military historian William Breuer takes readers on a trip through the looking glass to acquaint them with the weirder side of World War II. Featuring a cast of characters including double– and triple–agents, femme fatales, fearless leaders, and men at arms, The Spy who Spent the War In Bed is a collection of seventy concise, vividly rendered tales of war, ranging from laugh–out–loud funny, to inspiring, to just–plain–bizarre. For instance, there′s the one about how reputed Irish Republican Army members in New York conned Nazi intelligence out of a small fortune. There′s also a thrilling account of how four American newsmen bagged an entire German platoon. And there′s the haunting tale of the "Mystery Plane," an experimental aircraft that took off on a short test flight over England one sunny afternoon in 1938 and simply vanished into a cloudless summer sky. This book draws on personal interviews, official archives, and declassified documents, as well as the vast literature on World War II.

Jonathan Marshall - To Have and Have Not, Southeas t Asian Raw Materials and the Origins of the Pacif ic War (1995).jpg

01 - USA - Jonathan Marshall - To Have and Have Not, Southeast As... Raw Materials and the Origins of the Pacific War 1995.jpg
This text argues that it was not ideological or national security considerations that led the United States into war with Japan in 1941. Instead, it argues, it was a struggle for access to Southeast Asia's vast storehouse of commodities - rubber, oil and tin - that drew the US into the conflict. Departing from conventional wisdom, Marshall re-examines the political landscape of the time and recreates the mounting tension and fear that gripped US officials in the months before the war. Unusual in its extensive use of previously ignored documents and studies, this work records the dilemmas of the Roosevelt administration: it initially hoped to avoid conflict with Japan but, after many diplomatic overtures, it came to see war as inevitable. Marshall also explores the ways that international conflicts often stem from rivalries over land, food, energy and industry. His insights into "resource war," the competition for essential commodities, should shed new light on US involvement in other conflicts - notably in Vietnam and the Persian Gulf.

01 - USA - RichardF.Hamilton, HolgerH.Herwig - Decisions for War, 1914-1917 2004.jpg
Focusing on the choices made by coteries, this study examines the perplexing question of why World War I happened. In each case, the decision to enter the war was made by a handful of individuals--monarchs, ministers, military people, party leaders, ambassadors, and a few others. In each case also, separate and distinct agendas are seen, with considerations differing from one nation to the next. The leadership of Japan, the Ottoman Empire, Italy, the Balkans, and the United States are explored, as well as that of the major powers involved--Austria-Hungary, Germany, France, and Great Britain

01 - USA - Gary L. Gaile, Cort J. Willmott - Geography in America at the Dawn of the 21st Century 2004.jpg
Geography in America at the Dawn of the 21st Century surveys American geographers' current research in their specialty areas and tracks trends and innovations in the many subfields of geography. As such, it is both a 'state of the discipline' assessment and a topical reference.

It includes an introduction by the editors and 47 chapters, each on a specific specialty. The authors of each chapter were chosen by their specialty group of the American Association of Geographers (AAG). Based on a process of review and revision, the chapters in this volume have become truly representative of the recent scholarship of American geographers. While it focuses on work since 1990, it additionally includes related prior work and work by non-American geographers.

The initial Geography in America was published in 1989 and has become a benchmark reference of American geographical research during the 1980s. This latest volume is completely new and features a preface written by the eminent geographer, Gilbert White.

Susan Dunn - Jefferson's Second Revolution, The El ection Crisis of 1800 and the Triumph of Republica nism (2004).jpg

01 - USA - Susan Dunn - Jeffersons Second Revolution, The Election...n Crisis of 1800 and the Triumph of Republicanism 2004.jpg
The election of 1800 was a revolution in the modern sense of a radical new beginning, but it was also a revolution in the sense of a return to the point of origin, to the principles of 1776. Federalist incumbent John Adams, and the elitism he represented, faced Republican Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson defeated Adams but, through a quirk in Electoral College balloting, tied with his own running mate, Aaron Burr. A constitutional crisis ensued. Congress was supposed to resolve the tie, but would the Federalists hand over power peacefully to their political enemies, to Jefferson and his Republicans? For weeks on end, nothing was less certain. The Federalists delayed and plotted, while Republicans threatened to take up arms.
In a way no previous historian has done, Susan Dunn illuminates the many facets of this watershed moment in American history: she captures its great drama, gives us fresh, finely drawn portraits of the founding fathers, and brilliantly parses the enduring significance of the crisis. The year 1800 marked the end of Federalist elitism, pointed the way to peaceful power shifts, cleared a place for states’ rights in the political landscape, and set the stage for the Civil War.

John Ruston Pagan - Anne Orthwood's Bastard, Sex a nd Law in Early Virginia (2002).jpg

01 - USA - John Ruston Pagan - Anne Orthwoods Bastard, Sex and Law in Early Virginia 2002.jpg
In 1663, an indentured servant, Anne Orthwood, was impregnated with twins in a tavern in Northampton County, Virginia. Orthwood died soon after giving birth; one of the twins, Jasper, survived. Orthwood's illegitimate pregnancy sparked four related cases that came before the Northampton magistrates -- who coincidentally held court in the same tavern -- between 1664 and 1686. These interrelated cases and the decisions rendered in them are notable for the ways in which the Virginia colonists modified English common law traditions and began to create their own, as well as what they reveal about cultural and economic values in an Eastern shore community. Through these cases, the very reasons legal systems are created are revealed, namely, the maintenance of social order, the protection of property interests, the protection of personal reputation, and personal liberty. Through Jasper Orthwood's life, the treatment of the poor in small communities is set in sharp relief.
Anne Orthwood's Bastard was the winner of the 2003 Prize in Atlantic History, American Historical Association.

Ian Westwell - 1st Marine Division, The Old Breed (2002).jpg

01 - USA - Ian Westwell - 1st Marine Division, The Old Breed 2002.jpg
The USMC's 1st Division - 'The Old Breed' - is the oldest, largest, most decorated division-sized unit in the corps. Divisional regiments had first seen service as early as March 8, 1911, when the 1st Marines was formed at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, it would go on to perform in 15 major engagements during World War I. In World War II the 1st Division was blooded at Guadalcanal, then went on to fight throughout the Pacific campaign, each of the amphibious landings and the bloody battles to take the islands, being smaller versions of D-Day. The Pacific War saw some of the most uncompromising warfare in WWII, and the USMC was at the heart of it: the 1st Division would earn three World War II Presidential Unit Citations - Guadalcanal, Peleliu, and Okinawa - each was well deserved.
