As a result, more emphasis is placed on Harriet Tubman than onGeorge Washington; more about the internment of Japanese Americansduring World War II than about D-Day or Iwo Jima; more on thedangers we faced from Joseph McCarthy than those we faced fromJosef Stalin.
In this epic, beautifully written masterwork, PulitzerPrize–winning author Isabel Wilkerson chronicles one of the greatuntold stories of American history: the decades-long migration ofblack citizens who fled the South for northern and western cities,in search of a better life. From 1915 to 1970, this exodus ofalmost six million people changed the face of America. Wilkersoncompares this epic migration to the migrations of other peoples inhistory. She interviewed more than a thousand people, and gainedaccess to new data and official records, to write this definitiveand vividly dramatic account of how these American journeysunfolded, altering our cities, our country, and ourselves. With stunning historical detail, Wilkerson tells this storythrough the lives of three unique individuals: Ida Mae Gladney, whoin 1937 left sharecropping and prejudice in Mississippi forChicago, where she achieved quiet blue-collar success and, in oldage, voted for Barack Obama when he ran for an Illinois Senateseat; sh
Drawn from letters, diaries, newspaper articles, publicdeclarations, contemporary narratives, and private memoranda, The American Revolution brings together over 120 pieces bymore than 70 participants to create a unique literary panorama ofthe War of Independence. From Paul Revere's own narrative of hisride in April 1775 to an account of George Washington's resignationfrom command of the Army in December 1783, the volume presentsfirsthand all the major events of the conflict-the early battles ofLexington, Concord, and Bunker Hill; the failed American invasionof Canada; the battle of Saratoga; the fighting in the South andalong the western frontier; and the decisive triumph atYorktown. Famous figures-Washington, Franklin, Jefferson, Benedict Arnold,John and Abigail Adams-are here alongside lesser known participantslike Samuel Blachley Webb describing courage and panic at BunkerHill or Sarah Hodgkins writing longingly to her absent soldierhusband. American Loyalists and British officers and offici
Assuming its rightful place of honor on the National Mallbetween the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument, the WorldWar II Memorial is an eloquent and moving tribute to “The GreatestGeneration.” Sixteen million Americans served in the armedforces—more than 400,000 gave their lives—and millions supportedthe war effort from home, all in the name of protecting that whichwe, as Americans, hold most dear: freedom. The World War II Memorial, published in conjunction with thededication of this long-overdue memorial, commemorates the everydayAmericans who in countless ways rose up to defeat one of history'sgravest threats to freedom. Veterans—including George H.W. Bush,Sen. Daniel Inouye, former senators Bob Dole and George McGovern,Yogi Berra, and many, many others—contribute their own personalstories while leading historians look at the military campaigns ofthe war. The memorial's architect and its sculptor provide insightsinto how it symbolizes the fortitude and perseverance of age
When it opened in 1875, the Kaiserhof hotel was the epitome ofmodernity. The opulent hotel was one of Berlin's most fashionableresorts, the haunt of aristocrats and rich holidaymakers. In 1930,Adolf Hitler and Joseph Goebbels used the Kaiserhof as the NaziParty headquarters. In 1946, the hotel, like much of bombed-outBerlin, was a hollow ruin. In 1975, on the spot where the grandhotel once stood, the North Korean embassy was erected, anarchitectural eyesore of appalling vulgarity. Berlin chartsdramatically the changing face of one of the twentieth century'smost fascinating cities at three crucial periods of itshistory. Berlin presents the buildings and structures of historicaland architectural interest which have been affected by events ofthe twentieth century: government buildings and grand hotels, cafesand department stores, theaters and railway stations can be seenfrom the same angle at three different points in time. Some of thestructures have vanished completely; some were restored after
The Marines? march up to Baghdad, Sherman?s trail of destructionin Georgia, an army of Missouri volunteers trekking across theGreat Plains to Mexico?this wide-ranging and imaginative book tellsfor the first time the story of how American armies from the sandsof Iraq to the halls of the Montezuma have followed figuratively inthe footsteps of the original Anabasis, the famous Greek march intothe interior of Asia made by Xenophon and the Ten Thousand in 400BC. Starting with the Iraq War, Tim Rood turns back to the conquest ofthe American West and to the Civil War, showing how one of the mostfamous episodes in classical antiquity was first appropriated inthe name of military expansion, and then used to expressconflicting responses to the most controversial campaign of theCivil War. Allusions to Xenophon in speeches, newspaper reports,and military memoirs are throughout read against Xenophon?s ownstory.

Whether photographing avant-garde theatre, gypsies on thesteppes of Eastern Europe, resistance to Soviet guns and tanksadvancing on Prague, Josef Koudelka has consistently producedimages that provoke a connection to the larger questions of humanexistence.

August Sartorius von Waltershausen (1852–1938) was an eminentGerman economist who visited the United States at the beginning ofthe 1880s and wrote a series of articles on the US labor movement,which were published in Germany. His training in the historicalschool of economics provided him with a different perspective fromthat of laissez-faire economists or socialists of his time. Thearticles are translated in this book, and presented with abiographical essay by Marcel van der Linden and Gregory Zieren andwith an essay on his contribution to the writing of American laborhistory by David Montgomery. This book provides rich insights intothe character of American workers' organizations as they recoveredfrom the depression of the 1870s, before the establishment ofstrong national institutions.
