Download or read book A Spent Bullet written by Curt Iles and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2011-08-31 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Late summer 1941. Louisianas piney woods are engulfed by a tidal wave of soldiers engaged in the largest army maneuvers ever undertaken on American soil. For many of these young men, as well as the isolated Southern communities, life will never be the same. Although no one knows it, our nation will be at war in three months. Elizabeth Reed is a young Louisiana schoolteacher who dislikes soldiers. Harry Miller is a Wisconsin soldier who hates Louisiana. It only makes sense that they should meet and fall in love. Their story begins with a bulletan empty cartridge tossed from a truckload of soldiers. The note inside it will change the destinies of these two young people. In the midst of large-scale battles between the red and blue armies, Harry and Elizabeth are each fighting their own war with dark secrets from their pasts. They have nothing in common except mutual desires to escape these pasts. In spite of clashing at every turn, they run right into each others arms as they jointly learn that the hardest person to forgive is yourself. Within this clash of cultures lies the core message of A Spent Bullet. Rural Louisiana is never the same, and neither are the soldiers who learn about Louisiana mud, mosquitoes, and misery mixed with memorable Southern hospitality. More than a love story, A Spent Bullet recreates a memorable but largely forgotten time in Louisiana and our nations history. Told in the warm and touching style loved by readers of his previous eight books, Curt Iles weaves a story of love, history, and redemption.
Book Synopsis Uncle Sam Wants You by : Christopher Capozzola
Download or read book Uncle Sam Wants You written by Christopher Capozzola and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2010-04-12 with total page 591 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on a rich array of sources that capture the voices of both political leaders and ordinary Americans, Uncle Sam Wants You offers a vivid and provocative new interpretation of American political history, revealing how the tensions of mass mobilization during World War I led to a significant increase in power for the federal government. Christopher Capozzola shows how, when the war began, Americans at first mobilized society by stressing duty, obligation, and responsibility over rights and freedoms. But the heated temper of war quickly unleashed coercion on an unprecedented scale, making wartime America the scene of some of the nation's most serious political violence, including notorious episodes of outright mob violence. To solve this problem, Americans turned over increasing amounts of power to the federal government. In the end, whether they were some of the four million men drafted under the Selective Service Act or the tens of millions of home-front volunteers, Americans of the World War I era created a new American state, and new ways of being American citizens.

Book Synopsis In Uncle Sam's Service by : Susan Zeiger
Download or read book In Uncle Sam's Service written by Susan Zeiger and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2019-05-15 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During World War I, the first American war in which women were mobilized on a mass scale by the armed services, more than sixteen thousand women served overseas with the American Expeditionary Force. Although wealthy women volunteers—members of the so-called'heiress corps'—monopolized public attention, Susan Zeiger reveals that the majority of AEF women were wage-earners. Their motives for enlistment ranged from patriotism to economic self-interest, from a sense of adventure to a desire to challenge gender boundaries. Zeiger uses diaries, letters, questionnaires, oral histories, and memoirs to explore the women's experience of war. She draws upon insights from labor history, political history, popular culture, and the study of gender and war to analyze the ways in which women's wartime service heightened and made visible the contradictions in the prevailing gender relations. Zeiger argues that the interests of AEF women clashed with those of the wartime state at a crucial historical moment. Women sought to expand their personal opportunities for mobility and professional success and lay claim to equal citizenship. The government, determined to contain the disruption to the status quo, created a separate, subordinate status for women in the military,'domesticating'women's service and reinscribing it within conventional limits.
Book Synopsis Uncle Sam Can't Count by : Burton W. Folsom
Download or read book Uncle Sam Can't Count written by Burton W. Folsom and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2014-04-15 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An enlightening overview of America’s misadventures in economic investment from the Revolutionary era to the Obama administration. From the days of George Washington through World War II to today, government subsidies have failed the American people time and again. Draining the Treasury of cash, this doomed attempt to “pick winners” only serves to impede economic growth—and hurt the very companies receiving aid. But why does federal aid seem to have a reverse Midas touch? In Uncle Sam Can’t Count, Burt and Anita Folsom argue that federal officials don’t have the same abilities or incentives as entrepreneurs. In addition, federal control always leads to politicization. And what works for politicians often doesn’t work in the marketplace. Filled with examples of government failures and free market triumphs, from John Jacob Astor to the Wright Brothers, World War II amphibious landing craft to Detroit, Uncle Sam Can’t Count is a hard-hitting critique of government investment that demonstrates why business should be left exclusively to private entrepreneurs.

Book Synopsis Life & Deeds of Uncle Sam by : Oscar Ameringer
Download or read book Life & Deeds of Uncle Sam written by Oscar Ameringer and published by Charles Kerr. This book was released on 1985 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rip-roaring radical romp through American history, from the man known as the Mark Twain Of American Socialism. Ameringer, socialist organizer, editor, pamphleteer and public speaker, was remarkable forerunner of what would today be called a stand-up comedian. In this, his most famous work (originally published in 1909, selling half a million copies by 1914!), the official history of the text-books is hilariously laid bare; the authors satirical barbs aimed at the exploiters ideology bristle on every page. An outstanding classic of American labor historiography and humor. With an introduction from Paul Buhle.

Download or read book Uncle Sam written by Hal Marcovitz and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-11-17 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is said that the inspiration for the character of Uncle Sam was a man named Sam Wilson, who provided food for the U.S. Army during the War of 1812. By the 1830s, the figure of Uncle Sam had become a personified image of America, commonly used by newspaper and magazine cartoonists to represent the U.S. government's decisions and policies. Perhaps the best-known image of Uncle Sam was created in 1917, during the First World War—a stern, white-haired man wearing star-spangled clothing, encouraging Americans to do their part to support their nation. Uncle Sam remains an important symbol of the United States and the policies and activities of our government.
Book Synopsis Simple's Uncle Sam by : Langston Hughes
Download or read book Simple's Uncle Sam written by Langston Hughes and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2015-10-13 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Langston Hughes's most beloved character comes back to life in this extraordinary collection Langston Hughes is best known as a poet, but he was also a prolific writer of theater, autobiography, and fiction. None of his creations won the hearts and minds of his readers as did Jesse B. Semple, better known as "Simple." Simple speaks as an Everyman for African Americans in Uncle Sam's America. With great wit, he expounds on topics as varied as women, Gospel music, and sports heroes--but always keeps one foot planted in the realm of politics and race. In recent years, readers have been able to appreciate Simple's situational humor as well as his poignant questions about social injustice in The Best of Simple and The Return of Simple. Now they can, once again, enjoy the last of Hughes's original Simple books.
Download or read book I Am Uncle Sam written by Dean Mosley and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-09-05 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second half of the twentieth century saw the United States endure a series of paradigm changes on the cultural, political, and social level. Spread out over the span of some fifty years, the population has become the anecdotal boiling frog, unaware of the danger it is in; however, in this alternate timeline, that is not the case: The dramatic demographic changes, overstepping of federal power, and polarization of ideologies all occurs within the span of a single decade giving rise to religious zealotry, ethnic tribalism, extreme views on authority, and more. I Am Uncle Sam explores the woes and drives of American/White Nationalism from the perspectives of four disenfranchised young-men whose lives become tied to the events of a Second American Civil War; a story that demonstrates how love for homeland becomes hate for all which threatens it.
