In 1975, at the height of Indira Gandhi’s “Emergency,” V. S.Naipaul returned to India, the country his ancestors had left onehundred years earlier. Out of that journey he produced this concisemasterpiece: a vibrant, defiantly unsentimental portrait of asociety traumatized by centuries of foreign conquest and immured ina mythic vision of its past. Drawing on novels, news reports, political memoirs, and his ownencounters with ordinary Indians–from a supercilious prince to anengineer constructing housing for Bombay’s homeless–Naipaulcaptures a vast, mysterious, and agonized continent inaccessible toforeigners and barely visible to its own people. He sees both theburgeoning space program and the 5,000 volunteers chanting mantrasto purify a defiled temple; the feudal village autocrat and theNaxalite revolutionaries who combined Maoist rhetoric with ritualmurder. Relentless in its vision, thrilling in the keenness of itsprose, India: A Wounded Civilization is a work of astonishinginsight an

The book that established Thomas Carlyle’s reputation whenfirst published in 1837, this spectacular historical masterpiecehas since been accepted as the standard work on the subject. Itcombines a shrewd insight into character, a vivid realization ofthe picturesque, and a singular ability to bring the past toblazing life, making it a reading experience as thrilling as anynovel. As John D. Rosenberg observes in his Introduction, TheFrench Revolution is “one of the grand poems of [Carlyle’s]century, yet its poetry consists in being everywhere scrupulouslyrooted in historical fact.” This Modern Library Paperback Classics edition, complete andunabridged, is unavailable anywhere else.

Each year, the Commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps selects onebook that he believes is both relevant and timeless for reading byall Marines. The Commandant's choice for 1993 was We Were SoldiersOnce . . . and Young. In November 1965, some 450 men of the 1st Battalion, 7th Cavalry,under the command of Lt. Col. Hal Moore, were dropped by helicopterinto a small clearing in the Ia Drang Valley. They were immediatelysurrounded by 2,000 North Vietnamese soldiers. Three days later,only two and a half miles away, a sister battalion was chopped topieces. Together, these actions at the landing zones X-Ray andAlbany constituted one of the most savage and significant battlesof the Vietnam War. How these men persevered--sacrificed themselves for theircomrades and never gave up--makes a vivid portrait of war at itsmost inspiring and devastating. General Moore and Joseph Galloway,the only journalist on the ground throughout the fighting, haveinterviewed hundreds of men who fought there, including the Nort

The winner of Britain's prestigious Whitbread Prize and abestseller there for months, this wonderfully readable biographyoffers a rich, rollicking picture of late-eighteenth-centuryBritish aristocracy and the intimate story of a woman who for atime was its undisputed leader. Lady Georgiana Spencer was the great-great-great-great-aunt ofDiana, Princess of Wales, and was nearly as famous in her day. In1774, at the age of seventeen, Georgiana achieved immediatecelebrity by marrying one of England's richest and most influentialaristocrats, the Duke of Devonshire. Launched into a world ofwealth and power, she quickly became the queen of fashionablesociety, adored by the Prince of Wales, a dear friend ofMarie-Antoinette, and leader of the most important salon of hertime. Not content with the role of society hostess, she used herconnections to enter politics, eventually becoming more influentialthan most of the men who held office. Her good works and social exploits made her loved by themultitudes

Upon its original publication, Plagues and Peoples wasan immediate critical and popular success, offering a radically newinterpretation of world history as seen through the extraordinaryimpact--political, demographic, ecological, and psychological--ofdisease on cultures. From the conquest of Mexico by smallpox asmuch as by the Spanish, to the bubonic plague in China, to thetyphoid epidemic in Europe, the history of disease is the historyof humankind. With the identification of AIDS in the early 1980s,another chapter has been added to this chronicle of events, whichWilliam McNeill explores in his new introduction to this updatedediton. Thought-provoking, well-researched, and compulsively readable, Plagues and Peoples is that rare book that is as fascinatingas it is scholarly, as intriguing as it is enlightening. "Abrilliantly conceptualized and challenging achievement" (KirkusReviews), it is essential reading, offering a new perspective onhuman history.

What happens to Old World memories in a New World order?Svetlana Boym opens up a new avenue of inquiry: the study ofnostalgia.. Combining personal memoir, philosophical essay, andhistorical analysis, Svetlana Boym explores the spaces ofcollective nostalgia that connect national biography and personalself-fashioning in the twenty-first century.

Here is the crucial summer of 1944 as seen by both sides, fromthe British spy, code-named “Garbo,” who successfully misled theNazis about the time and place of the D-day landings, to the poorplanning for action after the assault that forced the allies tofight for nine weeks “field to field, hedgerow to hedgerow.” Heretoo are the questionable command decisions of Montgomery,Eisenhower, and Bradley, the insatiable ego of Patton. Yet,fighting in some of the most miserable conditions of the war, theallied soldiers used ingenuity, resilience, and raw courage todrive the enemy from France in what John Keegan describes as “thebiggest disaster to hit the German army in the course of the war.”Normandy is an inspiring tribute to the common fighting men of fivenations who won the pivotal campaign that lead to peace andfreedom.

This is the definitive report on Fragments, BinjaminWilkomirski's invented "memoir" of a childhood spent inconcentration camps, which created international turmoil. In 1995 Fragments, a memoir by a Swiss musician named BinjaminWilkomirski, was published in Germany. Hailed by critics, who compared it with themasterpieces of Primo Levi and Anne Frank, the book received majorprizes and was translated into nine languages. The English-languageedition was published by Schocken in 1996. In Fragments,Wilkomirski described in heartwrenching detail how as a small childhe survived internment in Majdanek and Birkenau and was eventuallysmuggled into Switzerland at the war's end. But three years after the book was first published, articlesbegan to appear that questioned its authenticity and the author'sclaim that he was a Holocaust survivor. Stefan Maechler, aSwiss historian and expert on anti-Semitism and Switzerland's treatmentof refugees during and after World War II, was commissioned onbe

A distinguished psychiatrist from Martinique who took part inthe Algerian Nationalist Movement, Frantz Fanon was one of the mostimportant theorists of revolutionary struggle, colonialism, andracial difference in history. Fanon's masterwork is a classicalongside Edward Said's Orientalism or The Autobiography of MalcolmX, and it is now available in a new translation that updates itslanguage for a new generation of readers. The Wretched of the Earthis a brilliant analysis of the psychology of the colonized andtheir path to liberation. Bearing singular insight into the rageand frustration of colonized peoples, and the role of violence ineffecting historical change, the book incisively attacks the twinperils of post independence colonial politics: thedisenfranchisement of the masses by the elites on the one hand, andintertribal and interfaith animosities on the other. Fanon'sanalysis, a veritable handbook of social reorganization for leadersof emerging nations, has been reflected all too clearly in thecorru

For readers interested in the China-Burma-Indiatheater in World War II or for those interested in exploring theflexibility of airpower, this book is a must.”— Air SpacePower Journal

If this is a book about war, it is equally a book about the hypocrisy and indifference of those in power. Fisk is an angry man and more than a little self-righteous. No national leader comes off with a scrap of credit here; he regards the lot of them with contempt, if not loathing. Among the men in charge -- whether Arab, Iranian, Turkish, Israeli, British or American -- there are no heroes and precious few honorable people doing their inadequate best in difficult situations. Jimmy Carter is lucky to escape with condescension, King Hussein of Jordan with a bit better than that. Fisk is not fond of the media either (though he grants some exceptions); CNN and the New York Times are particular targets of his scorn for what he sees as their abject failure to challenge the lies, distortions and cover-ups of U.S. policymakers. Only among ordinary people, entangled in a web of forces beyond their control, does Fisk find a human mixture of courage, cowardice, charity and cruelty!

In 1922, the British archaeologist Henry Carter opened KingTutankhamun’s tomb, illuminating the glories of an ancientcivilization. And while the world celebrated the extraordinaryrevelation that gave Carter international renown and an indelibleplace in history, by the time of his death, the discovery hadnearly destroyed him. Now, in a stunning feat of narrativenonfiction, Daniel Meyerson has written a thrilling and evocativeaccount of this remarkable man and his times. Carter began his career inauspiciously. At the age ofseventeen–unknown, untrained, untried–he was hired as a copyist oftomb art by the brash, brilliant, and boldly unkempt father ofmodern archaeology, W. F. Petrie. Carter struck out on his own afew years later, sensing that something amazing lay buried beneathhis feet, waiting for him to uncover it. But others had the same idea: The ancient cities of Egypt werecrawling with European adventurers and their wealthy sponsors, eachhoping to outdo the others with glittering d

When the apprentices of a Paris printing shop in the 1730sheld a series of mock trials and then hanged all the cats theycould lay their hands on, why did they find it so hilariously funnythat they choked with laughter when they reenacted it in pantomimesome twenty times? Why in the eighteenth-century version of LittleRed Riding Hood did the wolf eat the child at the end? What did theanonymous townsman of Montpelier have in mind when he kept anexhaustive dossier on all the activities of his native city? Theseare some of the provocative questions Robert Darnton answers inthis classic work of European history in what we like to call TheAge of Enlightenment.

As she re-createsthese extraordinary lives, Hughes-Hallett illuminates theattractions and dangers of hero worship.

The dust storms that terrorized the High Plains in the darkestyears of the Depression were like nothing ever seen before orsince. Timothy Egan's critically acclaimed account rescues thisiconic chapter of American history from the shadows in a tour deforce of historical reportage. Following a dozen families and theircommunities through the rise and fall of the region, Egan tells oftheir desperate attempts to carry on through blinding black dustblizzards, crop failure, and the death of loved ones. Brilliantlycapturing the terrifying drama of catastrophe, Egan does equaljustice to the human characters who become his heroes, "the stoic,long-suffering men and women whose lives he opens up with urgencyand respect" (New York Times). In an era that promises ever-greaternatural disasters, "The Worst Hard Time" is "arguably the bestnonfiction book yet" (Austin Statesman Journal) on the greatestenvironmental disaster ever to be visited upon our land and apowerful cautionary tale about the dangers of trifling withnature
