ISBN: 9781416573326 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Charlotte was young and beautiful. Lionel, almost ten years older, was rich and her cousin. Theirs was an arranged betrothal joining two branches of Europe's most powerful banking firm. It seemed an unlikely love match, and even their wedding had to survive catastrophe. Yet their marriage lasted through tragedies and triumphs.

In Charlotte and Lionel, acclaimed biographer Stanley...

One of America's greatest Christmas stories and also one of its very first -- from the period between the end of the Revolutionary War and the ratification of the Constitution -- was a creation of none other than George Washington.

It is the story of a loving husband, a beloved military leader, and above all, a humble and great man. In late November 1783 when...

Whistler: A Biography
ISBN: 9780306809712 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 528 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. He was the most notorious and misunderstood American artist of his time, and also the most influential. To this day James Abbott McNeill Whistler (1834-1903) is one of the most recognized names in painting because of his celebrated (and endlessly satirized) Whistler's Mother, one of the treasures of the Louvre. He was, to say the least, a character. Born in Massachusetts, he claimed to be a Southerner and wound up living most of his life abroad--in Russia, France, and England (though he could not tolerate more than brief periods in France and thoroughly disliked the English)....

A startling new history of the Revolutionary War, told from the perspectives of both the colonists and the colonizers. For generations, Americans have been taught to view the Revolutionary War as a heroic tale of resistance, exclusively from the perspective of the Continental army and the Founding Fathers. Now, in Iron Tears, master historian Stanley Weintraub offers the first account that examines the war from three divergent and distinct vantage points: the battlefields; the American leadership under George Washington; and--most originally--that of England, embroiled in...

MacArthur's War: Korea and the Undoing of an American Hero
ISBN: 9781439152942 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Douglas MacArthur towers over twentieth-century American history. His fame is based chiefly on his World War II service in the Philippines. Yet Korea, America's forgotten war, was far more "MacArthur's War" -- and it remains one of our most brutal and frightening. In just three years thirty-five thousand Americans lost their lives -- more than three times the rate of losses in Vietnam. Korea, like Vietnam, was a breeding ground for the crimes of war. To this day, six thousand Americans remain MIA. It was Korea where American troops faced a Communist foe for the first time, as both China and...

Pearl Harbor Christmas: A World at War, December 1941
ISBN: 9780306821530 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Christmas 1941 came little more than two weeks after the attack on Pearl Harbor. The shock--in some cases overseas, elation--was worldwide. While Americans attempted to go about celebrating as usual, the reality of the just-declared war was on everybody's mind. United States troops on Wake Island were battling a Japanese landing force and, in the Philippines, losing the fight to save Luzon. In Japan, the Pearl Harbor strike force returned to Hiroshima Bay and toasted its sweeping success. Across the Atlantic, much of Europe was frozen in grim Nazi occupation.

An unpromising patrician playboy appointed assistant secretary of the Navy in 1913, Roosevelt learned quickly and rose to national visibility in World War I.

While a German loudspeaker taunted, ?How would you like to die for Christmas the Allied forces dug in, despite freezing conditions. They needed a miracle. In a medieval chapel, General Patton, who needed clear skies to allow airborne reinforcements to reach his trapped men, uttered what would become a famous prayer: ?Sir, whose side are you on His soldiers wouldn't be home for...
