Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Notable Book for 2011 A Library Journal Top Ten Best Books of 2011 A Boston Globe Best Nonfiction Book of 2011 Bestselling author Tony Horwitz tells the electrifying tale of the daring insurrection that put America on the path to bloody war Plotted in secret, launched in the dark, John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry was a pivotal moment in U.S. history. But few Americans know the true story of the men and women who launched a desperate strike at the slaveholding South. Now, Midnight Rising portrays Brown's uprising in vivid color, revealing a country on the brink of explosive conflict. Brown, the descendant of New England Puritans, saw slavery as a sin against America's founding principles. Unlike most abolitionists, he was willing to take up arms, and in 1859 he prepared for battle at a hideout in Maryland, joined by his teenage daughter, three of his sons, and a guerrilla band that included former slaves and a dashing spy. On October 17, the raiders seized Harpers Ferry, stunning the nation and prompting a counterattack led by Robert E. Lee. After Brown's capture, his defiant eloquence galvanized the North and appalled the South, which considered Brown a terrorist. The raid also helped elect Abraham Lincoln, who later began to fulfill Brown's dream with the Emancipation Proclamation, a measure he called "a John Brown raid, on a gigantic scale." Tony Horwitz's riveting book travels antebellum America to deliver both a taut historical drama and a telling portrait of a nation divided—a time that still resonates in ours.

Download or read book The New Orleans of Fiction written by James A. Kaser and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2014-07-29 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of New Orleans in American culture has made the city's place in the American imagination a crucial topic for literary scholars and cultural historians. While databases of bibliographical information on New Orleans-centered fiction are available, they are of little use to scholars researching works written before the 1980s. In The New Orleans of Fiction: A Research Guide, James A. Kaser provides detailed synopses for more than 500 works of fiction significantly set in New Orleans and published between 1836 and 1980. The synopses include plot summaries, names of major characters, and an indication of physical settings. An appendix provides bibliographical information for works dating from 1981 well into the 21st century, while a biographical section provides basic information about the authors, some of whom are obscure and would be difficult to find in other sources. Written to assist researchers in locating works of fiction for analysis, the plot summaries highlight ways in which the works touch on major aspects of social history and cultural studies (i.e., class, ethnicity, gender, immigrant experience, and race). The book is also a useful reader advisory tool for librarians and readers who want to identify materials for leisure reading, particularly since genre, juvenile, and young adult fiction—as well as literary fiction—are included.

Book excerpt: BOOK 3 OF THE “AMERICAN SPY SISTERS” NOVELS INSPIRED BY THE BRAVE U.S. WOMEN WHO FOUGHT THE NAZIS IN WW II Brooke Bradley is headed for stardom in Hollywood when a whirlwind romance with a famous French film actor transports her to Paris just as the Nazis are storming her adopted country. Within months, the beautiful blonde with the amber eyes who speaks no French finds herself utterly alone and faced with a choice: collaborate and live comfortably with the invading enemy or join former journalist-turned-secret agent Christopher Laurent as an “Escape Helper” spiriting downed Allied fliers to safety to fly again another day. Struggling to learn the language and French customs, Brooke is recruited by British intelligence to employ her skills as an actress to execute the Allies’ risky operations, even as she hides some shameful secrets of her own. At any point, the truths about her past mistakes threaten to jeopardize the lives of the pilots under her protection and send her and her fellow résistants to face a German firing squad. With tragic losses mounting and wanted posters featuring publicity photos from her film days plastered everywhere, Brooke adopts a new identity to fight for the liberation of France in partnership with the only man she’s ever truly loved. But can they both survive as hope dims each day the brutal war endures? New York Times & USA Today bestselling author and Emmy Award-winning former broadcast journalist Ciji Ware once again displays her extraordinary talent for weaving historical fact into mesmerizing fiction in this heart-stopping romantic thriller.
