ISBN: 9780743288217 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) The words Abraham Lincoln spoke at the dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery at Gettysburg comprise perhaps the most famous speech in history.

War Comes Again: Comparative Vistas on the Civil War and World War II
ISBN: 9780195088458 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Civil War and the World War II stand as the two great cataclysms of American history. They were our two costliest wars, with well over a million casualties suffered in each. And they were transforming moments in our history as well, times when the life of the nation and the great experiment in democracy--government of the people, by the people, for the people--seemed to hang in the balance. Now, in War Comes Again, eleven eminent historians--including three Pulitzer Prize winners, all veterans of the Second World War--offer an illuminating comparison of these two epic events in...

ISBN: 9780195089110 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. "Americans interested in history need to make the pilgrimage to Gettysburg," writes Gabor Boritt in the Acknowledgments.

Gabor Boritt has invited nine leading authorities to shed new light on the greatest battle in our history, focusing in particular on the unknown, the controversial, and what might have been.

Slavery, Resistance, Freedom
ISBN: 9780195102222 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Americans have always defined themselves in terms of their freedoms--of speech, of religion, of political dissent. How we interpret our history of slavery--the ultimate denial of these freedoms--deeply affects how we understand the very fabric of our democracy.
This extraordinary collection of essays by some of America's top historians focuses on how African Americans resisted slavery and how they responded when finally free. Ira Berlin sets the stage by stressing the relationship between how we understand slavery and how we discuss race today. The remaining essays offer a richly...
