“Admirers of FDR credit his New Deal with restoring theAmerican economy after the disastrous contraction of 1929—33. Truthto tell–as Powell demonstrates without a shadow of a doubt–the NewDeal hampered recovery from the contraction, prolonged and added tounemployment, and set the stage for ever more intrusive and costlygovernment. Powell’s analysis is thoroughly documented, relying onan impressive variety of popular and academic literature bothcontemporary and historical.” – Milton Friedman , Nobel Laureate, Hoover Institution “There is a critical and often forgotten difference betweendisaster and tragedy. Disasters happen to us all, no matter what wedo. Tragedies are brought upon ourselves by hubris. The Depressionof the 1930s would have been a brief disaster if it hadn’t been forthe national tragedy of the New Deal. Jim Powell has proventhis.” – P.J. O’Rourke , author of Parliament of Whores and Eat theRich “The material laid out in this book desperat
Known as "the GI's general" and "Lightning Joe," General J.Lawton Collins played no less than a global part in the Alliedvictory of World War II. Here, for the first time, is the story of an American hero andpatriot- a man who earned the admiration of the grunts with whom heshared foxholes and the respect of the highest-ranking generals.Collins was a true leader of men with his iron-clad devotion toduty, his genuine concern for those under his command, and hisseemingly unending drive to defend his nation against allenemies-no matter where the fight took him...
Southern slaveholders proudly pronounced themselves orthodoxChristians, who accepted responsibility for the welfare of thepeople who worked for them. They proclaimed that their slavesenjoyed a better and more secure life than any laboring class inthe world. Now, did it not follow that the lives of laborers of allraces across the world would be immeasurably improved by theirenslavement? In the Old South but in no other slave society adoctrine emerged among leading clergymen, politicians, andintellectuals - 'Slavery in the Abstract', which declaredenslavement the best possible condition for all labor regardless ofrace. They joined the Socialists, whom they studied, in believingthat the free-labor system, wracked by worsening class warfare, wascollapsing. A vital question: to what extent did the people of theseveral social classes of the South accept so extreme a doctrine?That question lies at the heart of this book.
Paul Kriwaczek begins this illuminating and immenselypleasurable chronicle of Yiddish civilization during the Romanempire, when Jewish culture first spread to Europe. We see theburgeoning exile population disperse, as its notable diplomats,artists and thinkers make their mark in far-flung cities and founda self-governing Yiddish world. By its late-medieval heyday, thiseconomically successful, intellectually adventurous, and self-awaresociety stretched from the Baltic to the Black Sea. Kriwaczektraces, too, the slow decline of Yiddish culture in Europe andRussia, and highlights fresh offshoots in the New World.Combiningfamily anecdote, travelogue, original research, and a keenunderstanding of Yiddish art and literature, Kriwaczek gives us anexceptional portrait of a culture which, though nearlyextinguished, has an influential radiance still.
Tutankhamun has mesmerized the world ever since HowardCarter's dramatic discovery of his treasure-filled tomb in theValley of the Kings in 1922, a fascination fanned anew by thecurrent world tour of the spectacular artifacts buried with him, apriceless trove that casts a spell on everyone who sees them. In this richly illustrated book, Egypt's leading archaeologistchronicles the Boy King and the royal dynasty that bred him. Andwhat a dynasty! Tut's grandfather, the Sun King Amenhotep III,married queen Tiye before they reached their teens, then ruled for40 years. Their heretical son, Akhenaten, abandoned Egypt'spantheon to worship a single god; his wife Nefertiti is stillremembered as one of history's legendary beauties. Tutankhamunascended the throne as a child and died before the age of twenty,but the splendor of his brief reign and the sensational unearthingof his tomb have made him the most famous of all thepharaohs. Zahi Hawass brings these fabled figures and their tumultuous,astonishin

It is fair to say that Tom Mathews’s relations with hisfather, a veteran of World War II’s fabled 10th Mountain Division,were terrible. He came back from the war to a young son he’d barelymet and proceeded to bully and browbeat him—for his own good, hethought. In the course of puzzling out almost fifty years ofintermittent conflict, Mathews came to understand that theirproblems were not simply personal, they were generational—andwidely shared by millions of other baby boomer sons. And so, towrite this powerful book, which traces the kinetic effect of thewar on the men who fought it, their sons, and their grandsons,Mathews has uncovered nine other dramatic and telling father-sontales of veterans in some ways missing in action and how internalwar wounds shaped their lives as fathers. These include a combatinfantryman whose life was saved by the fabled Audie Murphy, and ablack member of the storied Tuskegee Airmen corps. In a movingfinal chapter, he and his father return together to Italy torevisit sc
One of our most provocative military historians, Victor DavisHanson has given us painstakingly researched and pathbreakingaccounts of wars ranging from classical antiquity to thetwenty-first century. Now he juxtaposes an ancient conflict withour most urgent modern concerns to create his most engrossing workto date, A War Like No Other. Over the course of a generation, the Hellenic city-states ofAthens and Sparta fought a bloody conflict that resulted in thecollapse of Athens and the end of its golden age. Thucydides wrotethe standard history of the Peloponnesian War, which has givenreaders throughout the ages a vivid and authoritative narrative.But Hanson offers readers something new: a complete chronologicalaccount that reflects the political background of the time, thestrategic thinking of the combatants, the misery of battle inmultifaceted theaters, and important insight into how these eventsecho in the present. Hanson compellingly portrays the ways Athens and Sparta fought onland and se

The assassination of Abraham Lincoln is a central drama of theAmerican experience. Its impact is felt to this day, and the basicstory is known to all. Anthony Pitch’s thrilling account of theLincoln conspiracy and its aftermath transcends the mere facts ofthat awful night during which dashing actor John Wilkes Booth shotLincoln in the head and would-be assassin Lewis Payne butcheredSecretary of State William Seward in the bed of his own home.“TheyHave Killed Papa Dead!”transports the reader to one of the mostbreathtaking moments in history, and reveals much that is new aboutthe stories, passions, and times of those who shaped this greattragedy. Virtually every word of Anthony Pitch’s account is based onprimary source material: new quotes from previously unpublisheddiaries, letters and journals – authentic contemporary voiceswriting with freshness and clarity as eyewitnesses or intimateparticipants – new images, a new vision and understanding of one ofAmerica’s defining moments.

Though it lasted for only six tense days in June, the 1967Arab-Israeli war never really ended. Every crisis that has rippedthrough this region in the ensuing decades, from the Yom Kippur Warof 1973 to the ongoing intifada, is a direct consequence of thosesix days of fighting. Michael B. Oren’s magnificent Six Days ofWar, an internationally acclaimed bestseller, is the firstcomprehensive account of this epoch-making event. Writing with a novelist’s command of narrative and a historian’sgrasp of fact and motive, Oren reconstructs both the lightning-fastaction on the battlefields and the political shocks thatelectrified the world. Extraordinary personalities—Moshe Dayan andGamal Abdul Nasser, Lyndon Johnson and Alexei Kosygin—rose andtoppled from power as a result of this war; borders were redrawn;daring strategies brilliantly succeeded or disastrously failed in amatter of hours. And the balance of power changed—in the MiddleEast and in the world. A towering work of history and anenthral
