Circle the Wagons!: Attacks on Wagon Trains in History and Hollywood Films
ISBN: 9781476672366 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 246 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. It's a cinematic image as familiar as John Wayne's face: a wagon train circling as a defensive maneuver against Indian attacks. This book examines actual and fictional wagon-train battles and compares them for realism. It also describes how fledgling Hollywood portrayed the concept of westward migration but, as the evolving industry became more accurate in historical detail, how filmmakers then lost sight of the big picture.

ISBN: 9780806133485 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 464 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Most World War II submarine stories are glorifications of war written by submarine captains about their own boats. But the USS Pampanito was not a typical submarine.

By the end of the Mexican-American War, both Anglo-Americans and Nuevomexicanos became experts in exploiting this system--and in using the army to collect on their often-fraudulent claims. As Gregory F. Michno reveals in Depredation and Deceit, their combined efforts created a precarious mix of false accusations, public greed, and fabricated fear that directly led...
