Book Synopsis The Second American Revolution by : James Patterson
Download or read book The Second American Revolution written by James Patterson and published by William Morrow. This book was released on 1994 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The majority of Americans don't believe in the system anymore. We don't think the politicians really care about us. We don't perceive any difference between the two parties. We don't think the government acts in our best interests. We are disenchanted, fed up, and angry." "The press doesn't write about this frustration: It's not a story because everyone accepts it as a given. But in fact this is a massive opinion shift that has gone unnoticed, unreported, and unresolved. We are in the midst of the Second American Revolution - and nobody is talking about it." "This book not only recognizes this reality; it responds to it, and gives it expression. And it harnesses the people's frustration and rage into positive energy. The message is clear: "We can make the system work. We can fix America. Just let us be heard."" "James Patterson and Peter Kim, heads of major advertising agencies, found a way to combine the spirit of 1776 with the technology of the twenty-first century. Using advanced market-research methods, they located a typical American town, put several issues to debate in a town hall setting, and talked with thousands of Americans across the nation to determine what the people say needs to be done to solve the country's most pressing problems. Most important, Patterson and Kim conducted the most democratic referendum ever held in the country to determine the people's choice for president of the United States." "This book is a clarion call, a shot to be heard 'round the land. It articulates loudly and clearly - and for the first time - the true voice of the people. No politics, no hype, no bull."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Book excerpt: Jack Reacher meets The Patriot in this exhilarating time travel alternate history series! When we lost the American Rebellion against the British in the 1700s, the world for the colonists changed for the worse. After centuries of suffering under the oppressive thumb of the English crown, a wealthy American entrepreneur in the 21st century finds an alien craft that can travel through time. That man is my best friend. And he figured out how to use that alien tech with one goal in mind: to go back in time and use our modern technology and knowledge to help the American Colonists defeat the English, with their Revolutionary War, and change the course of history for the better. And why does he ask me, a lowly, disgraced, former police officer, to be the one to make this precarious journey and try to change history? Because after a British official murdered my wife and got away with it, I have nothing left to lose. This way, even if I don't make it back, the course of time will have changed and maybe, just maybe, in the new future I can help shape, America might be a free country and the woman who would have been my wife would be alive. Those two aspirations are worth fighting for. I only hope I can achieve the impossible and change America's future by going into the past. Second Chance is the first book in the Pale Rider series, an alternate American Revolutionary War retelling. If you like American history, time travel, and alternate history fiction, then discover Second Chance today!
Book Synopsis Abraham Lincoln and the Second American Revolution by : James M. McPherson
Download or read book Abraham Lincoln and the Second American Revolution written by James M. McPherson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1992-06-04 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James McPherson has emerged as one of America's finest historians. Battle Cry of Freedom, his Pulitzer Prize-winning account of the Civil War, was a national bestseller that Hugh Brogan, in The New York Times Book Review, called "history writing of the highest order." In that volume, McPherson gathered in the broad sweep of events, the political, social, and cultural forces at work during the Civil War era. Now, in Abraham Lincoln and the Second American Revolution, he offers a series of thoughtful and engaging essays on aspects of Lincoln and the war that have rarely been discussed in depth. McPherson again displays his keen insight and sterling prose as he examines several critical themes in American history. He looks closely at the President's role as Commander-in-Chief of the Union forces, showing how Lincoln forged a national military strategy for victory. He explores the importance of Lincoln's great rhetorical skills, uncovering how--through parables and figurative language--he was uniquely able to communicate both the purpose of the war and a new meaning of liberty to the people of the North. In another section, McPherson examines the Civil War as a Second American Revolution, describing how the Republican Congress elected in 1860 passed an astonishing blitz of new laws (rivaling the first hundred days of the New Deal), and how the war not only destroyed the social structure of the old South, but radically altered the balance of power in America, ending 70 years of Southern power in the national government. The Civil War was the single most transforming and defining experience in American history, and Abraham Lincoln remains the most important figure in the pantheon of our mythology. These graceful essays, written by one of America's leading historians, offer fresh and unusual perspectives on both.

Book Synopsis The Second American Revolution by : Gregory P. Downs
Download or read book The Second American Revolution written by Gregory P. Downs and published by Steven and Janice Brose Lectur. This book was released on 2019-11-25 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much of the confusion about a central event in United States history begins with the name: the Civil War. In reality, the Civil War was not merely civil--meaning national--and not merely a war, but instead an international conflict of ideas as well as armies. Its implications transformed the U.S. Constitution and reshaped a world order, as political and economic systems grounded in slavery and empire clashed with the democratic process of republican forms of government. And it spilled over national boundaries, tying the United States together with Cuba, Spain, Mexico, Britain, and France in a struggle over the future of slavery and of republics. Here Gregory P. Downs argues that we can see the Civil War anew by understanding it as a revolution. More than a fight to preserve the Union and end slavery, the conflict refashioned a nation, in part by remaking its Constitution. More than a struggle of brother against brother, it entailed remaking an Atlantic world that centered in surprising ways on Cuba and Spain. Downs introduces a range of actors not often considered as central to the conflict but clearly engaged in broader questions and acts they regarded as revolutionary. This expansive canvas allows Downs to describe a broad and world-shaking war with implications far greater than often recognized.
Book Synopsis Second Chances by : Stephen Greenblatt
Download or read book Second Chances written by Stephen Greenblatt and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2024-05-14 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A powerful exploration of the human capacity for renewal, as seen through Shakespeare and Freud In this fresh investigation, Stephen Greenblatt and Adam Phillips explore how the second chance has been an essential feature of the literary imagination and a promise so central to our existence that we try to reproduce it again and again. Innumerable stories, from the Homeric epics to the New Testament, and from Oedipus Rex to Hamlet, explore the realization or failure of second chances--outcomes that depend on accident, acts of will, or fate. Such stories let us repeatedly rehearse the experience of loss and recovery: to know the joy that comes with a renewal of love and pleasure and to face the pain that comes with realizing that some damage can never be undone. Through a series of illuminating readings, the authors show how Shakespeare was the supreme virtuoso of the second chance and Freud was its supreme interpreter. Both Shakespeare and Freud believed that we can narrate our life stories as tales of transformation, of momentous shifts, constrained by time and place but often still possible. Ranging from The Comedy of Errors to The Winter's Tale, and from D. W. Winnicott to Marcel Proust, the authors challenge readers to imagine how, as Phillips writes, "it is the mending that matters."

Book Synopsis Germany's Second Chance by : Anne Sa'adah
Download or read book Germany's Second Chance written by Anne Sa'adah and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does a country reconstitute itself as a functioning democracy after a period of dictatorship? The new community may execute, imprison, or temporarily disenfranchise some citizens, but it will be unable to exclude all who supported the fallen regime. Political reconciliation must lay the groundwork for political trust. Democracy offers the compromised--and many who were more than just compromised--a second chance. In this new book, Anne Sa'adah explores twentieth-century Germany's second chances. Drawing on evidence from intellectual debates, trials, literary works, controversies about the actions of public figures, and partisan competition, Sa'adah analyzes German responses to the problem of reconciliation after 1945 and again after 1989. She depicts the frustrations, moral and political ambiguities, and disappointments inherent to even successful processes of democratization. She constantly underscores the difficult trade-off between achieving a modicum of justice and securing the legitimacy and stability of the new regime. A strategy of reconciliation emphasizing outward conformity to democratic norms and behavior, she argues, has a greater chance of sustaining a new and fragile democracy than do more direct attempts to punish past misdeeds and alter people's inner convictions.
