Book Synopsis God, Guns, Gold and Glory by : Lauren Langman
Download or read book God, Guns, Gold and Glory written by Lauren Langman and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-09-12 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America, beginning as a small group of devout Puritan settlers, ultimately became the richest, most powerful Empire in the history of the world, but having reached that point, is now in a process of implosion and decay. This book, inspired by Frankfurt School Critical Theory, especially Erich Fromm, offers a unique historical, cultural and characterological analysis of American national character and its underlying psychodynamics. Specifically, this analysis looks at the persistence of Puritan religion, as well as the extolling of male toughness and America's unbridled pursuit of wealth. Finally, its self image of divinely blessed exceptionalism has fostered vast costs in lives and wealth. But these qualities of its national character are now fostering both a decline of its power and a transformation of its underlying social character. This suggests that the result will be a changing social character that enables a more democratic, tolerant and inclusive society, one that will enable socialism, genuine, participatory democracy and a humanist framework of meaning. This book is relevant to understanding America’s past, present and future.

Book Synopsis The California Gold Rush and the Coming of the Civil War by : Leonard L. Richards
Download or read book The California Gold Rush and the Coming of the Civil War written by Leonard L. Richards and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2008-02-12 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Award-winning historian Leonard L. Richards gives us an authoritative and revealing portrait of an overlooked harbinger of the terrible battle that was to come. When gold was discovered at Sutter's Mill in 1848, Americans of all stripes saw the potential for both wealth and power. Among the more calculating were Southern slave owners. By making California a slave state, they could increase the value of their slaves—by 50 percent at least, and maybe much more. They could also gain additional influence in Congress and expand Southern economic clout, abetted by a new transcontinental railroad that would run through the South. Yet, despite their machinations, California entered the union as a free state. Disillusioned Southerners would agitate for even more slave territory, leading to the Kansas-Nebraska Act and, ultimately, to the Civil War itself.
Book Synopsis Blundering to Glory by : Owen Connelly
Download or read book Blundering to Glory written by Owen Connelly and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2006 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Renowned for its accuracy, brevity, and readability, this book has long been the gold standard of concise histories of the Napoleonic Wars. Now in an updated and revised edition, it is unique in its portrayal of one of the world's great generals as a scrambler who never had a plan, strategic or tactical, that did not break down or change of necessity in the field. Distinguished historian Owen Connelly argues that Napoleon was the master of the broken play, so confident of his ability to improvise, cover his own mistakes, and capitalize on those of the enemy that he repeatedly plunged his armies into uncertain, seemingly desperate situations, only to emerge victorious as he "blundered" to glory. Beginning with a sketch of Napoleon's early life, the book progresses to his command of artillery at Toulon and the "whiff of grapeshot" in Paris that netted him control of the Army of Italy, where his incredible performance catapulted him to fame. The author vividly traces Napoleon's campaigns as a general of the French Revolution and emperor of the French, knowledgeably analyzing each battle's successes and failures. The author depicts Napoleon's "art of war" as a system of engaging the enemy, waiting for him to make a mistake, improvising a plan on the spot-and winning. Far from detracting from Bonaparte's reputation, his blunders rather made him a great general, a "natural" who depended on his intuition and ability to read battlefields and his enemy to win. Exploring this neglected aspect of Napoleon's battlefield genius, Connelly at the same time offers stirring and complete accounts of all the Napoleonic campaigns.

Book Synopsis The Glory of War by : Martina Sprague
Download or read book The Glory of War written by Martina Sprague and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2013-09-12 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What motivates men to go to war? The answer is the desire for recognition and the opportunity to gain eternal fame. War is perhaps the most common way in which a man can become a hero. We tend to romanticize war. War is portrayed as a daring adventure for a sacred cause, where the soldier will ultimately reach the highest level of self-actualization. As demonstrated by the great military figures in history, the promise of honor and heroism can help a man conquer the world. Persuading talented officers to forsake field command for a desk job has historically been difficult. Foot soldiers, too, know that their way to glory and historical immortality lies with the sword and not the pen.This book examines the dream of membership in an elite society and battle as the supreme test of the individual; promises of great rewards and military training as a "pleasant pastime"; and the tendency to grow fond of the pleasure/pain dichotomy of war. The material in this book is excerpted from For God, Gold, and Glory: A History of Military Service and Man's Search for Power, Wealth, and Adventure, also by Martina Sprague. The full series comprises the following books:1. The Forces of War: Patriotism, Tradition, and Revenge2. The Financial Incentives of War: Poverty Draft, Mercenaries, and Volunteers in Foreign Armies3. The Propaganda of War: Personal Transformation and the Search for Adventure4. The Glory of War: The Way to Historical Immortality5. The Reality of War: Boredom, Disillusion, and Desertion

Download or read book Spiritual Warfare written by Jerry Rankin and published by B&H Publishing Group. This book was released on 2009-03-15 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christians already have victory over the world through Jesus, but Satan picks a fight with believers nonetheless, tempting them with the influences of the world in an effort to steal God’s glory. Indeed, the battle rages on , but the nature of the enemy is baldly exposed in Spiritual Warfare, helping readers better understand feelings of resentment, anger, doubt, pride, and adversity for what they really are: fiery darts of deception. Written by International Mission Board president Jerry Rankin, who has witnessed spiritual warfare at work around the world, the book in turn becomes an inspiring guide to the Spirit-filled life, illuminating spiritual disciplines that equip us for victory including prayer, Bible study, fasting, Sabbath observance, active church membership, and praising God in all things.

Download or read book Bob at the Alamo written by Doug Hodges and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2016-01-27 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is a collection of recorded memories, fact, fiction, and stages in between. It follows up the collaborated Bobs Gettysburg Saga & Poetry, which was published in 2014. In these pages, Bob visits the Alamo, with all its spiritual and ghostly history. Herein are encountered many of the characters that shaped Texas and, to this day, keep its legend alive. From Bob and Texas, the book unfolds into the broader West with two obituaries and two tales of strife and daring-do. As in the past, I have illustrated the narrative with photographs. I hope the reader may enjoy this collection of historical reminiscence as much as I enjoyed writing it. Doug Hodges
