(filed under: American History ) * stock image, actual book may vary This book traces the development of the United States from the 1760s to the consolidation of the federal government during the 1790s. The author argues that the creation of the American republic was a major revolution; by the time it was complete the United States was radically different from Britain and the colonies out which it had emerged. Extensive coverage is given to the establishment of governments, first in the states then at the national level, and to social development in the states. It is argued that many of of the most significant changes took place at this level. $7.50 Borland, Bruce (Edt.)

Sound familiar?" Fritz Lanham, Houston Chronicle Just as we do today, Americans of the 1890s faced changes in economics, politics, society, and technology that led to wrenching and sometimes violent tensions between rich and poor, capital and labor, white and black, East and West. In The Reckless Decade , H. W. Brands demonstrates that we can learn a lot about the contradictions that lie at the heart of America today by looking at them through the lens of the 1890s. The 1890s saw the closing of the American frontier and a shift toward imperialist ambitions. Populists and muckrakers grappled with robber barons and gold-bugs. Americans addressed the unfinished business of Reconstruction by separating blacks and whites. Booker T. Washington, W. E. B. Du Bois, and other black leaders clashed over the proper response to continuing racial inequality. Those on top of the economic heap Rockefeller, Carnegie, and Morgan created vast empires of wealth, while those at the bottom worked for dimes a day. Brands brings all this to life in a vivid narrative filled with larger-than-life characters facing momentous challenges as they worked toward an uncertain future. $7.50 Brecher, Jeremy, Lombardi, Jerry, and Jan Steakhouse, ed.

(filed under: American History ) * stock image, actual book may vary The new American nation fought for its survival against a variety of enemies, both foreign and domestic, during a series of wars from 1775 to 1865. Victor Brooks examines in considerable detail the various battles and campaigns of the early wars fought by the young republic, in search of common factors that may have led to the nation's survival and triumph. The vast distances, sparse population, and supply problems endemic to all the campaigns in North America are carefully examined. In all its early wars, the United States relied upon a small force of professional soldiers backed up by larger numbers of short-term volunteers; the positive and negative effects of this policy in each war are considered. For each war, the commanders for each side are rated as to performance, and an analysis made of how their individual strengths and weaknesses may have influenced the outcome of the conflict.A specially commissioned series of maps make clear the various strategic and tactical issues at stake from the American Revolution to the end of the Civil War. $5.99 Brown, Fred & Sherri M.L.

(filed under: American History ) * stock image, actual book may vary The New York Times Bestseller William F. Buckley, Jr. remembers as only he could the towering figures of the twentieth century in a brilliant and emotionally powerful collection, compiled by acclaimed Fox News correspondent James Rosen. In a half century on the national stage, William F. Buckley, Jr. achieved unique stature as a writer, a celebrity, and the undisputed godfather of modern American conservatism. He kept company with the best and brightest, the sultry and powerful. Ronald Reagan pronounced WFB perhaps the most influential journalist and intellectual in our era, and his jet-setting life was a who s who of high society, fame, and fortune. Among all his distinctions, which include founding the conservative magazine National Review and hosting the long-running talk show Firing Line , Buckley was also a master of that most elusive art form: the eulogy. He drew on his unrivaled gifts to mourn, celebrate, or seek mercy for the men and women who touched his life and the nation. Now, for the first time, WFB s sweeping judgments of the great figures of his time presidents and prime ministers, celebrities and scoundrels, intellectuals and guitar gods are collected in one place. A Torch Kept Lit presents more than fifty of Buckley s best eulogies, drawing on his personal memories and private correspondences and using a novelist s touch to conjure his subjects as he knew them. We are reintroduced, through Buckley s eyes, to the likes of Winston Churchill and Ronald Reagan, Elvis Presley and John Lennon, Truman Capote and Martin Luther King, Jr. Curated by Fox News chief Washington correspondent James Rosen, a Buckley prot g and frequent contributor to National Review , this volumes sheds light on a tumultuous period in American history from World War II to Watergate, the death of God to the Grateful Dead as told in the inimitable voice of one of our most elegant literary stylists.William F. Buckley, Jr. is back just when we need him most. $12.50 Burman, Ben Lucien Children of Noah: Glimpses of Unknown America Julian Messner 1951 hardcover. Signed by Author. Limited Edition.
