Book Synopsis The Battle for Christmas by : Stephen Nissenbaum
Download or read book The Battle for Christmas written by Stephen Nissenbaum and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2010-12-01 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PULITZER PRIZE FINALIST • Drawing on a wealth of research, this "fascinating" book (The New York Times Book Review) charts the invention of our current Yuletide traditions, from St. Nicholas to the Christmas tree and, perhaps most radically, the practice of giving gifts to children. Anyone who laments the excesses of Christmas might consider the Puritans of colonial Massachusetts: they simply outlawed the holiday. The Puritans had their reasons, since Christmas was once an occasion for drunkenness and riot, when poor "wassailers extorted food and drink from the well-to-do. In this intriguing and innovative work of social history, Stephen Nissenbaum rediscovers Christmas's carnival origins and shows how it was transformed, during the nineteenth century, into a festival of domesticity and consumerism. Bursting with detail, filled with subversive readings of such seasonal classics as "A Visit from St. Nicholas” and A Christmas Carol, The Battle for Christmas captures the glorious strangeness of the past even as it helps us better understand our present.

Book Synopsis Isaac's Army by : Matthew Brzezinski
Download or read book Isaac's Army written by Matthew Brzezinski and published by Random House. This book was released on 2012-10-02 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Starting as early as 1939, disparate Jewish underground movements coalesced around the shared goal of liberating Poland from Nazi occupation. For the next six years, separately and in concert, they waged a heroic war of resistance against Hitler’s war machine that culminated in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. In Isaac’s Army, Matthew Brzezinski delivers the first-ever comprehensive narrative account of that struggle, following a group of dedicated young Jews—some barely out of their teens—whose individual acts of defiance helped rewrite the ending of World War II. Based on first-person accounts from diaries, interviews, and surviving relatives, Isaac’s Army chronicles the extraordinary triumphs and devastating setbacks that befell the Jewish underground from its earliest acts of defiance in 1939 to the exodus to Palestine in 1946. This is the remarkable true story of the Jewish resistance from the perspective of those who led it: Isaac Zuckerman, the confident and charismatic twenty-four-year-old founder of the Jewish Fighting Organization; Simha Ratheiser, Isaac’s fifteen-year-old bodyguard, whose boyish good looks and seeming immunity to danger made him an ideal courier; and Zivia Lubetkin, the warrior queen of the underground who, upon hearing the first intimations of the Holocaust, declared: “We are going to defend ourselves.” Joined by allies on the left and right, they survived Gestapo torture chambers, smuggled arms, ran covert printing presses, opened illegal schools, robbed banks, executed collaborators, and fought in the two largest rebellions of the war. Hunted by the Germans and bedeviled by the “Greasers”—roving bands of blackmailers who routinely turned in resistance fighters for profit—the movement was chronically short on firepower but long on ingenuity. Its members hatched plots in dank basements, never more than a door knock away from summary execution, and slogged through fetid sewers to escape the burning Ghetto to the forests surrounding the city. And after the initial uprising was ruthlessly put down by the SS, they gambled everything on a bold plan for a citywide revolt—of both Jews and Gentiles—that could end only in victory or total destruction. The money they raised helped thousands hide when the Ghetto was liquidated. The documents they forged offered lifelines to families desperate to escape the horror of the Holocaust. And when the war was over, they helped found the state of Israel. A story of secret alliances, internal rivalries, and undying commitment to a cause, Isaac’s Army is history at its most heart-wrenching. Driven by an unforgettable cast of characters, it’s a true-life tale with the pulse of a great novel, and a celebration of the indomitable spirit of resistance. Advance praise for Isaac’s Army “Told with care and compassion, Matthew Brzezinski’s Isaac’s Army is a riveting account of the Jewish resistance in wartime Poland. This is an intense story that transcends the horror of the time and finds real inspiration in the bravery of those who fought back—some of whom lived to tell their stories. Highly recommended.”—Alan Furst, author of Mission to Paris

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Was Prince Ezra lulled into complacency after returning to his kingdom with his beautiful Siberian princes... forgetting his promise made to the cave-dweller? Indeed...until meeting Jesus in a temple, who handed him a gift for that cave-dweller of Star Lake Siberia. Will the prince and his family overcome the perils of traveling north with rampaging armies gobbling up land for their emperor ... and dirt-bag sword-slashing thieves stalking trade routes that would kill him and take his family as slaves, and lose the gift for the cave dwellers? Indeed it's a screaming, gut-wrenching, knee-trembling adventure, teasing your curiosity into flying high like a roller-coaster sleigh-ride zipping through the star filled skies. This tale will alchemize, tantalize, and captivate you into graceful submission, filling it finally, with a peaceful desire. Book III Sequel - The Promise of Christmas - The Promise Kept (soon to be released) Peace and Prosperity is enjoyed at long last in Tobolsk. Traders from far and near make annual treks to the north to trade for the best fur, using not only precious metals like gold and silver but also rare gems and crafted items of every kind, and for anyone willing to spend time browsing the market square. More important, and now widely known from afar, is the annual Christmas Celebration in Tobolsk where the story of the trip to Bethlehem is told while children gather around to hear of the coming of Angels announcing the birth of the Christ child, and the journey made by Prince Ezra and the Magi battling thieves and roman soldiers to fulfill their destiny, and when it was over, gifts were exchanged by everyone while merry songs are sung by all. It was at one of these festive moments that a traveler from the homeland of the Prince gave news of Jesus and the mission he had started to give hope to all for peace and happiness. It was then that Nikko who was a young boy when he met Jesus in the temple of Jerusalem, decided it was time for him to fulfill his destiny.
