“Will shape our thinking about America and theMiddle East for years.”—Christopher Dickey, Newsweek This best-selling history isthe first fully comprehensive history of America’s involvement inthe Middle East from George Washington to George W. Bush. As NiallFerguson writes, “If you think America’s entanglement in the MiddleEast began with Roosevelt and Truman, Michael Oren’s deeplyresearched and brilliantly written history will be a revelation toyou, as it was to me. With its cast of fascinatingcharacters—earnest missionaries, maverick converts, wide-eyedtourists, and even a nineteenth-century George Bush— Power,Faith, and Fantasy is not only a terrific read, it is alsoproof that you don’t really understand an issue until you know itshistory.”
The complete historical works of the greatest chronicler ofthe Roman Empire in a wholly revised and updated translation. A brilliant narrator and a master stylist, Tacitus served asadministrator and senator, a career that gave him an intimate viewof the empire at its highest levels, and of the dramatic, violent,and often bloody events of the first century. In the Annals, hewrites about Augustus Caesar’s death and observes the innerworkings of the courts of the emperors Tiberius and Nero. In theHistories, he describes an empire in tumult, four emperors reigningin one year, each overthrown by the next. The Agricola, a biographyof Tacitus’s father-in-law, Julius Agricola—the most celebratedgovernor of Roman Britain—is the first detailed account of theisland that would eventually rule over a quarter of the earth. Andin the Germania, the famed warrior-barbarians of ancient Germanycome richly to life.
This collection of essays by historians and literary scholarstreats English history and culture from the Henrician Reformationto the Glorious Revolution as a single coherent period in whichreligion is a dominant element in political and cultural life. Itseeks to explore the centrality of the religion-politics nexus forthis whole period through examining a wide variety of literary andnon-literary texts, from plays and poems to devotional treatises,political treatises and histories. It breaks down normaldistinctions between Tudor and Stuart, pre- and post-Restorationperiods to reveal a coherent (though not all serene and untroubled)post-Reformation culture struggling with major issues of belief,practice and authority.
Mann is well aware that much of the history he relates isnecessarily speculative, the product of pot-shard interpretationand precise scientific measurements that often end up beingradically revised in later decades. But the most compelling of hiseye-opening revisionist stories are among the best-founded: thestories of early American-European contact. To many of those whowere there, the earliest encounters felt more like a meeting ofequals than one of natural domination. And those who came later andfound an emptied landscape that seemed ripe for the taking, Mannargues convincingly, encountered not the natural and unchangingstate of the native American, but the evidence of a suddencalamity: the ravages of what was likely the greatest epidemic inhuman history, the smallpox and other diseases introducedinadvertently by Europeans to a population without immunity, whichswept through the Americas faster than the explorers who broughtit, and left behind for their discovery a land that held only ashadow of the
A war that started under questionable pretexts. A presidentwho is convinced of his country’s might and right. A military andpolitical stalemate with United States troops occupying a foreignland against a stubborn and deadly insurgency. The time is the 1840s. The enemy is Mexico. And the war is one ofthe least known and most important in both Mexican and UnitedStates history—a war that really began much earlier and whoseconsequences still echo today. Acclaimed historian David A. Clarypresents this epic struggle for a continent for the first time fromboth sides, using original Mexican and North Americansources. To Mexico, the yanqui illegals pouring into her territories ofTexas and California threatened Mexican sovereignty and security.To North Americans, they manifested their destiny to rule thecontinent. Two nations, each raising an eagle as her standard,blustered and blundered into a war because no one on either sidewas brave enough to resist the march into it. In Eagles and Empi

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National BookAward Based on hitherto unexamined sources: interviews with ex-slaves,diaries and accounts by former slaveholders, this "rich andadmirably written book" (Eugene Genovese, The New York TimesBook Review ) aims to show how, during the Civil War and afterEmancipation, blacks and whites interacted in ways that dramatizednot only their mutual dependency, but the ambiguities and tensionsthat had always been latent in "the peculiar institution."
This book traces the history of Europe from the end of WorldWar II to 1992, the scheduled reunification of Western Europe. Itexamines the East European revolution of 1989 and the changes inthe Soviet Union, as well as assessing the aftermath of the ColdWar, the post-war period that most commentators feel has come to anend. The unification of Western Europe and the disintegration ofthe Soviet empire, the author argues, doesn't mark the end ofhistory, as some claim, but the beginning of another era, of a newEurope, one quite unlike, yet in some ways parallel to the Europethat presided over the world at the end of the previouscentury.
