The Assassinator: The Trial and Hanging of John Wilkes Booth
ISBN: 9781627872706 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. What if John Wilkes Booth were tried for assassinating Abraham Lincoln? Fleeing south after shooting President Lincoln, John Wilkes Booth was cornered in a barn in Virginia and mortally wounded when he refused to surrender to pursuing federal cavalrymen. His death some hours later denied the nation a trial that might have revealed his motives and possible links to the Confederate government. In this riveting tale, historian William L. Richter continues his study of what Booth believed he was accomplishing in figuratively firing the last shot of what the South called the War for Southern...

ISBN: 9781440170263 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. From Richard Lawrence to John Wilkes Booth to John Hinckley, Jr., Americans have preferred their presidential assassins, whether failed or successful, to be more or less crazy. Seemingly, this absolves us of having to wonder where the American experiment might have gone wrong.
John Wilkes Booth has been no exception to this rule. But was he? In a new, provocative study comprising three essays, historian William L. Richter delves into the psyche of Booth and finds him far from insane. Beginning with a modern, less adulating interpretation of President Abraham Lincoln, Richter is the...

Historical Dictionary of the Old South
ISBN: 9780810879140 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 592 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The South played a prominent role in early American history, and its position was certainly strong and proud except for the "peculiar institution" of slavery. Thus, it drew away from the rest of an expanding nation, and in 1861 declared secession and developed a Confederacy... that ultimately lost the war. Indeed, for some time it was occupied. Thus, the South has a very mixed legacy, with good and bad aspects, and sometimes the two of them mixed. Which only enhances the need for a careful and balanced approach. This can be found in the Historical Dictionary of the Old South, which first...

The Oxford Handbook of the Second Sophistic
ISBN: 9780199837472 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 776 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Focusing on the period known as the Second Sophistic (an era roughly co-extensive with the second century AD), this Handbook serves the need for a broad and accessible overview. The study of the Second Sophistic is a relative new-comer to the Anglophone field of classics and much of what characterizes it temporally and culturally remains a matter of legitimate contestation.

Included are chapters that offer practical guidance...
