Revolutionaries


A New History of the Invention of America
Jack Rakove
Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Pub. Co., May 01, 2010
Review: Review by Sanford Levinson
Jack Rakove deservedly won the Pulitzer Prize for his book Original Meanings, the best single book on the 1787 Philadelphia Convention that drafted the United States Constitution. This book, aptly subtitled “the invention of America,” is a worthy successor. Indeed, its 55-page chapter on James Madison, “The Greatest Lawgiver of Modernity,” is in itself a far better overview of the Convention than most other far longer books. And this is true of almost every one of its nine chapters, divided into groups of three, one on “the crisis” that generated the American Revolution in 1775; a second on “challenges,” including drafting the first state constitutions and entering into America’s first diplomatic relationships with foreign countries; and, finally, “legacies,” focusing on the three most important political creators of the post-Revolution United States (other than Washington, who is a brooking omnipresence throughout the book), Jefferson, Madison, and Hamilton (who is deservedly given the title of “the state builder”).
Rakove structures his story of America’s invention through focusing on various seminal figures. In addition to the aforementioned founders, chapters are devoted to such well-known persons as Franklin, Adams (both Samuel and John) and John Jay, as well as to less well-known figures like John Dickinson (a “moderate” who resisted independence); and Henry and John Laurens, slave-owning South Carolinians who seemed to be genuinely perturbed by the obvious paradox of revolutionaries fighting in the name of liberty who nonetheless owned slaves (Jefferson, of course, is the most spectacular example of this paradox). Rakove, an unusually gifted writer, seamlessly integrates his biographical studies with the events that were occurring throughout what became the United States and, for those diplomats posted abroad, in France and England as well.
Rakove’s book is a triumph in its own terms, which is to convey the remarkable events of 1773 (the time of the Boston Tea Party) to 1791, the conclusion of the First Congress that established fundamental institutions that structure American politics to this day. Some historians may criticize it for being relatively “old-fashioned” in focusing on “great (or at least important) men” rather than on ordinary Americans, but, surely, the actions of his subjects are central to any understanding of the “invention.
But another subtext may suggest itself to the reader: How is it that revolutionary movements get started—and succeed? There was nothing inevitable about this. The British had to behave with maximum stupidity and, on occasion, cruelty that drove those who were undecided to become rebellious revolutionaries. But the “invention of America” also owes much to French intervention, which not only provided Americans with needed cash and armaments but also made it impossible for the British to concentrate all of their forces on America once the French had turned the conflict into a de facto world (or at least European) war. It is hard not to think of many current events while reading Revolutionaries. In any event, there is literally no one—specialized academic, historically interested general reader, or concerned citizen of contemporary events—who would not profit from reading this marvelous book.

Sugarless



James Magruder
Publisher: University of Wisconsin Press, October 01, 2009
Review: James Magruder’s Sugarless is a bittersweet take on coming out and coming-of-age. Rick Lahrem, a high-school sophomore, is freaking out. His mother’s second husband is a psychologist who’s mad as a March Hare; his stepsister's a stoner sex-fiend; and his dad’s engaged to a snotty Southern belle. His only respite from the insanity is a thatch of original Broadway-cast LPs.
After bringing two girls in speech class to tears by reading a story aloud, Rick's invited onto an interscholastic forensics team to perform a dramatic interpretation of The Boys in the Band, the controversial sixties play about homosexuality. Unexpectedly victorious at this strange event, he begins winning tournaments and getting close with his fellow teammates.
Rick discovers the joys of sex at the hands of a speech coach from a rival school just as his mother makes a disturbing and fanatical commitment to Christ. He tries to take these nerve-wracking developments in stride—until the combined forces of family, sex and faith threaten to bring him down at a state meet in Peoria. Alternately sidesplitting and cringe-inducing, Magruder’s book hilariously exposes the agonies of adolescence.

Blank Spots on the Map


The Dark Geography of the Pentagon's Secret World
Trevor Paglen
Publisher: Dutton/Division of Penguin Putnam, February 05, 2009
Review: Geographer Trevor Paglen’s research into areas that officially “don’t exist” leads him on a globetrotting adventure into the places where our military conducts its most clandestine operations. Paglen spies on the covert site at Groom Lake, Nevada—and visits the widow of Walter Kazra, who, while working construction at Groom Lake, was poisoned by the toxic garbage pits there. (The U.S. Air Force defense to his estate’s suit? That the base does not exist.)
Whether it’s from a hotel room in Las Vegas, secret prisons in Kabul or deep in Central American jungles, Paglen’s reporting is impassioned, rigorous and relentless. Blank Spots on the Map is an unforgettable expose of a world that, officially, isn’t even there.

Elizabeth Gilbert
Publisher: Viking Penguin, February 01, 2006

Eat, Pray, Love is Gilbert’s engrossing chronicle of that year. In Rome, she studied the art of pleasure, gaining the twenty-three happiest pounds of her life. Moving on to India, she embarked on four uninterrupted months of spiritual exploration. And in Bali, she studied the art of balance between worldly enjoyment and divine transcendence.

Traitors' Gate


Book Three of the Crossroads Trilogy
Kate Elliott
Publisher: Tor Books, September 01, 2009
Review: In Spirit Gate and Shadow Gate, Kate Elliott took readers to the fascinating world of the Hundred, a land teeming with an array of cultures, gods and magics blighted by the shadow of chaos and destruction. Now, in Traitors’ Gate, Elliott returns to the exquisitely crafted cities and landscapes of the Hundred, in the thunderous conclusion to the Crossroads saga.
In the darkness of war, defenders gather to reclaim the peace: Those immortal Guardians who still serve justice seek a means to end the devastating reign of one of their own; a hired outlander army rallies to halt the advance of the horde that has despoiled vast lands and slaughtered countless people, while still guarding against a burgeoning threat from an expansionist empire; and the eagle reeves who have long been the Hundred’s only law enforcers struggle to reorganize after a devastating massacre decimates their numbers. But even as these forces give hope to the suffering masses, a terrible danger looms: a traitor with Imperial ambitions, the most dreaded, least anticipated threat of all....
In the unfolding drama, nothing is certain, as alliances dissolve and power shifts with the unpredictability of a desert sandstorm.

Scarlet Nights



Jude Deveraux
Publisher: Atria Books, August 03, 2010
Review: It can’t be easy to learn your fiance is a criminal. In Scarlet Nights, the third page-turner in Jude Deveraux’s enormously popular Edilean series, Sara Shaw, who’s already suffered one broken engagement, doesn’t take the news well. Nor does she appreciate that the source of the shattering information is an arrogant man who entered her apartment through a secret trapdoor in the floor!
Undercover cop Mike Newland is known for being a lone wolf in the Fort Lauderdale police department, and Sara’s fiance, Greg Anders—a.k.a. Stefan Vandlo—isn’t his only prey. Anders’ mother is one of the country’s most notorious criminals, and it’s clear Sara has something they want. Sara has to admit that Greg, handsome and seductive, declared his love very quickly, much to the consternation of her friends and family. But Sara wouldn’t hear anything against him. Even now, if Greg hadn’t vanished a mere three weeks before their wedding, she might still be hoping for a reasonable explanation. Suddenly angry and resentful, Sara agrees to help Mike set a trap. What she doesn’t expect is that the rugged cop who is all-business could stir a heart she thought beyond feeling….

Wounded Knee


Party Politics and the Road to an American Massacre
Heather Cox Richardson
Publisher: Basic Books Inc., June 01, 2010
Review: Review by Clyde A. Milner II
For those who worry about the dangers of intense partisan politics in the United States today, Heather Cox Richardson provides an illuminating study of an earlier era when the political climate may well have been worse. I have read many books that consider the massacre at Wounded Knee, but I have given little thought to the president at the time, Benjamin Harrison, or his group of supporters within the Republican Party. Many readers of American history have learned a great deal about a small set of important American presidents. Lincoln, Washington, Jefferson, Jackson, Reagan and both Roosevelts easily come to mind. We can even argue about disastrous presidents. Buchanan, Grant, Harding, and possibly Nixon are on some lists. But Benjamin Harrison? He is one of our obscure presidents who managed to occupy one four-year term in office between the two terms that Grover Cleveland served. Richardson makes the case for the “far-reaching” effect of the Harrison administration, especially in terms of what happened to voting rights, the Western landscape, the electoral map, and most tragically, the Lakotas or Sioux Indians.
The Seventh Cavalry killed Lakota men, women and children at Wounded Knee on December 29, 1890. Newspapers reported this slaughter as a military battle and 20 soldiers received the Medal of Honor in its aftermath. With her clear writing and firm argument, Heather Cox Richardson provides a fresh perspective on what led to this calamity by looking at the larger political context in the United States. As some historians have done for James K. Polk and the Mexican War, Richardson does for Benjamin Harrison. She vividly portrays this president and his minions, revealing a political figure desperate to maintain his party’s primacy. During this time of extreme partisanship, Richardson never refers to recent, or even present-day, politics in America. Yet, the situation has enough parallels to keep readers turning the pages to see what crass act or government folly may follow. For example, I had forgotten that Benjamin Harrison won the election of 1890 without a majority of the popular vote. I also needed to be reminded of the passions at the time over the protective tariff, especially the so-called McKinley Tariff, and why a change in party affiliation for one Senator from the new state of South Dakota might shift the balance of power in Congress.
Richardson has a gift for presenting historical characters be they drawn from military leaders, government officials, biased newspapermen, political operatives or desperate Indians. Some individuals such as General Nelson Miles loom large in this story and some are reassuringly honorable especially the “local” reporter Charley Allen and the diligent investigator Eli S. Ricker, a Nebraska judge. This book reminds us how political ambitions can create unintended disasters. It provides a cautionary tale that is both timely and informative. It also reminded me of why I can enjoy reading history when I think I already know the story and then I am surprised by a new presentation.

Martin Van Buren


The American Presidents Series
Ted Widmer
Publisher: Henry Holt & Co., Inc., January 01, 2005
Review: In this engaging and eminently readable addition to the American Presidents Series, Ted Widmer, a veteran of the Clinton White House whose previous book, Young America, was hailed by the Times Literary Supplement as “winning and utterly invigorating,” chronicles the fascinating and surprisingly accomplished life and career of America's eighth president.
An American original
Approximately six generations ago,” Widmer writes, “it was impossible not to have an opinion about Martin Van Buren.” A native Dutch speaker, Van Buren was America's first ethnic president, first president born after the Revolution, and the first New Yorker to occupy the office—at a time when the island of Manhattan was itself bustling with new immigrants speaking a dazzling variety of languages. A shrewd and sophisticated political operator, Van Buren established a powerful base of support in his home state, becoming a U.S. Senator, secretary of state, and vice president under Andrew Jackson, whose election he oversaw.
Deftly recognizing that shifting demographic patterns would soon permit the urban North to rival the plantation South, Van Buren went to work building the mechanisms of modern democracy: he helped shape the invention of the party caucus, the nominating convention, the patronage system, the publicity network, even the Democratic Party itself. Yet today, Van Buren is a forgotten president, swallowed by the era between Jackson and the Civil War.
Many remarkable achievements
Today, Van Buren's political accomplishments read more impressively than ever. “In what might have been the most talented political generation in American history,” Widmer writes of Daniel Webster, John C. Calhoun, Thomas Hart Benton, and Martin Van Buren—all born in 1782—Van Buren “alone achieved what every politician in America wanted desperately: the succession of Andrew Jackson.
It would be economics, however, that ultimately ensnared “The Red Fox of Kinderhook” and made him the third president to be denied a second term. The Panic of 1837, the worst economic crisis to date in American history, sent shudders around the globe, outfoxing even the politician known as “The American Talleyrand” and “The Little Magician.
Long ignored by political historians and forgotten by readers, this fascinating new assessment rescues Martin Van Buren's unsung political achievements from obscurity, breathing new life into one of our nation's most underrated statesmen. 192 pages • 5?" x 8?" • Milestones • Selected Bibliography • index
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Ted Widmer is the director of the C.V. Starr Center for the Study of the American Experience at Washington College. He is the author of Young America and the coauthor, with Alan Brinkley, of Campaigns. Widmer previously served as senior advisor to President Clinton and director of speechwriting at the National Security Council.

Review: With her gift for creating harrowing suspense with shadings of the supernatural, Daphne du Maurier, author of the timeless classic, Rebecca, was a writer ahead of her time and one of the most popular authors of her day. Now fans of du Maurier’s work are in for a treat.
Collecting 13 newly discovered tales from the 1930s, The Doll explores the theme of romance gone awry with a whiff of irony and a frisson of horror. Encounters with jealousy, betrayal, obsession and madness—and, most notably, in the title story, an evil doll—hint at the darkness that would come with du Maurier’s later work. Written before the author was 23, these long out-of-print tales reveal a master in the making and form a valuable part of the du Maurier oeuvre.

The Book of Books


The Radical Impact of the King James Bible 1611-2011
Melvyn Bragg
Publisher: Counterpoint, September 01, 2011
Review: The King James Bible is called the “Book of Books” for good reason. Since its publication in 1611, it has sold more than any other text. It has spread the Protestant faith across the globe. It has also been the greatest influence on the enrichment of the English language and its literature. It has been the Bible of wars from the British Civil War to the American Civil War. Its influence on social movements—particularly involving women in the 19th and 20th centuries—has been profound. It was crucial to the growth of democracy. It was integral to the abolition of slavery and it defined attitudes to modern science, education and sex.
In The Book of Books: The Radical Impact of the King James Bible 1611-2011, Melvyn Bragg tells the story of this seminal work and how it has impacted our world in such profound ways over the last four centuries.
Bragg begins with the Bible’s origins in medieval England. William Tysdale, a scholar and priest, made it his life’s work to translate the Bible—then available only in Latin—into English. While Tysdale’s efforts cost him his life (he was executed for heresy in 1536), eighty percent of what he translated made it into the version adopted in 1611.
Bragg charts the Bible’s spread throughout the world—namely to America. As James and his son and successor, Charles I, began persecuting the Calvinist group known as the Puritans, many of these nonconformists left England to start lives in the New World, and quickly adopted the King James Bible. It informed their names, their parables, provided fodder for their daily conversations and offered proof of their earthly destiny.
In England, the Bible’s widespread adoption coincided with the bloody Civil Wars that rocked the country in the middle of the 17th century. As the King’s Party and Presbyterians vied for power, they used the Bible to claim the religious high ground. In this, Bragg contends, “it was no longer chained to the lectern, it was out in the streets. It was a torch.
Bragg goes on to chart the myriad ways in which the Bible—once out in the streets—changed the lives of millions. It brought the masses out of illiteracy and repression; fueled The Great Awakening, which laid the groundwork for religious life in America; fostered the thinking of such early modern scientists as Christopher Wren, Robert Boyle, Isaac Newton and later Benjamin Franklin, who forged a new nexus between spirituality and nature; profoundly influenced English-speaking writers, from Shakespeare to T.S. Eliot to Toni Morrison; and became the central instrument of Protestant missionaries around the world.
The Book of Books is an enriching testament to a living, breathing work. In Bragg’s words, “Its impact has been immeasurable and it is not over yet.

Bauer hires her in 1907 to assist in his studio and darkroom, her dreams for a career in photography appear to be coming wonderfully true. With the hazards of the explosive powder used for lighting and the toxic darkroom chemicals, however, photography is considered to be a man’s profession. Yet, Jessie Ann shows remarkable talent in both the artistry and the business of running a studio. She proves less skillful, however, at managing her growing attraction to the very married Mr. Bauer.
This luminous coming-of-age tale deftly exposes the intricate shadows that play across every dream worth pursuing—and the irresistible light that beckons the dreamer on.

A Wish for Christmas



Thomas Kinkade
Publisher: Berkley Publishing Corp, November 03, 2009
Review: Celebrate the holidays in Cape Light where bestselling author and award-winning painter Thomas Kinkade teams up with writer Katherine Spencer in A Wish for Christmas.
Imagine this beautiful little New England town at Christmastime, with cozy, snow-covered cottages and lights gleaming through every window. Here’s a tale of love and hope that will capture your heart.
Jack Bradshaw, a widower, has a new family in Julie and Kate, with maybe even a new baby on the way. Now Jack’s son, David, returns home after serving in Afghanistan, and with him, a chance to heal their wounded relationship. Even before his military duties took him out of the country, David had left Cape Light…and his father. But now there’s a new family in place.
Further, David’s physical injuries may never heal and he’s burdened with psychological issues that stem from his service, plus unresolved problems he never faced at home. He’s having trouble joining in the cheer of the Christmas season and can’t help but wonder if there’s any room for him after all.
But Cape Light is always full of surprises, and it seems that Christmas always brings unexpected gifts that will never be forgotten.

Wicked Prey



John Sandford
Publisher: Putnam Pub Group/Member Penguin Putnam, May 12, 2009
Review: In case you haven’t heard, John Sandford is “compulsively readable” (Los Angeles Times), particularly his Prey series, where dressed-to-kill top cop Lucas Davenport puts the bad guys behind bars. Unfortunately, some of them don’t always stay there….
The hordes of citizens in town for the Republican convention can’t tell an undercover cop from an undercover thief, which is what Brute Cohn, who falls into the latter category, is counting on. A dangerous ex-con just emerged from two years in hiding, Cohn’s looking for a big haul, and with all the cash flowing around, he and his crew are feeling lucky. But the Minneapolis cops have been tipped to his possible arrival, and Lucas Davenport is on the lookout, until he’s distracted by “business” of a personal nature.
A psychopathic pimp who blames Davenport for putting him in a wheelchair knows that physically, he doesn’t stand a chance against the tough, hardened cop. That’s why he comes up with a better way to make Davenport suffer: by taking his daughter.
Wicked Prey is Sandford doing what he does best: spot-on dialogue and taut suspense in a story that never lets up until the heartstopping end you don’t see coming.

Erasing Hell



Francis Chan and Preston Sprinkle
Publisher: David C. Cook, July 05, 2011
Review: In this groundbreaking new book, Francis Chan and Preston Sprinkle take on the topic of Hell and our eternal destiny, with humility and a deep respect for the inspired Word of God.
Erasing Hell addresses questions such as “Will everyone be saved?” and “Does God Get What He Wants in the End?", as well as reviewing in depth everything Jesus said about Hell. The authors caution us, however, to guard ourselves against “a heartlessness” when we talk about this theology and doctrine, because ultimately it’s about people whom God loves.
This isn’t a book about who is saying what or about being right—it’s about what God says. Erasing Hell will immerse you in Scripture as you discover the truth—and the courage to live it out.

Andrew Jackson


The American Presidents Series
Sean Wilentz
Publisher: Times Books, January 01, 2006
Review: From Sean Wilentz, the critically acclaimed author of The Rise of American Democracy and a former member of the History Book Club Review Board, comes this exquisitely written new entry in the American Presidents Series. Drawing on the many strengths of his distinguished career, including his pioneering work in political history as well as his noted gifts as a biographer, Wilentz illuminates the fascinating and fiery career of Andrew Jackson, the “common man” that became president.
Old Hickory
Fearless, principled, and damaged,” Wilentz writes, “Andrew Jackson was one of the fiercest and most controversial men ever to serve as president of the United States.” Opponents decried him as a populist demagogue, an American Caesar who had inflamed the passions of a fickle people. Admirers hailed him as the bravest man in the country, the only politician, in fact, strong enough to oppose the corrupt old guard and secure liberty and democracy for all.
From his hardscrabble frontier youth and service in the American Revolution to his legendary victory at the Battle of New Orleans and tumultuous bids for the presidency, Andrew Jackson gives this bold and compelling figure his due. 224 pages • 5?" x 8?" • Illustrations • Bibliography • Notes
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Former HBC Review Board Member Sean Wilentz is the George Henry Davis ’86 Professor of History and director of the Program in American Studies at Princeton University. He is the author and editor of many books, including the acclaimed Chants Democratic and, most recently, The Rise of American Democracy: Jefferson to Lincoln.

The Day That Changed Forever


Twenty One Life Changing Experiences at the Cross
Tim Roehl
Publisher: Regal Books, February 11, 2010
Review: The events surrounding Christ’s Passion really happened, and the people who experienced them were real people, just like us. In The Day That Changed Forever, Dr. Tim Roehl tells their stories, using biblical scholarship and what he calls “sanctified imagination.
What must Barabbas have been thinking when he was freed so an innocent man could die in his place? What went through Simon of Cyrene’s mind when he helped Jesus carry his cross? Sometimes it can be tempting for us to think we “know” the story of Jesus’ life, death and resurrection while forgetting to be amazed and changed by it. The viewpoints of the people at the cross, imagined here with compelling realism, will bring a newfound passion for the day that changed forever.
