The Hamiltonian Vision, 1789-1800: The Art of American Power During the Early Republic
ISBN: 9781597976756 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) From 1789 to 1800, the Federalist and Republican parties held opposing visions for America's future. Led by Alexander Hamilton, the Federalists sought to establish a strong central government that would lead an American commercial, financial, technological, industrial, and military revolution, and thus propel the United States into the ranks of the world's great powers. Thomas Jefferson and the Republicans feared that new wealth, power, and competing interests would corrupt the classic republic they envisioned. Instead, they extolled the romantic notion of a republic of yeoman farmers,...

Haughty Conquerors: Amherst and the Great Indian Uprising of 1763
ISBN: 9780275967703 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) During 1763 and 1764, a loose coalition of Native American tribes ranging from the Appalachian Mountains to the Mississippi River and from the Ohio Valley to the Great Lakes revolted against the oppression and neglect of their newly installed British masters. This Great Uprising ranks among the most successful wars in Native American history with the assault and capture of nine forts, the siege of Forts Detroit and Pitt, and, finally, a negotiated peace that met most of their demands. Yet, the victories proved to be fleeting as tribal enthusiasm waned. Within a generation, another wave of...

Joseph Stalin and the Art of Tyranny: One of History’s Most Feared Dictators
ISBN: 9781036131296 / Angielski / Twarda / 2025 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Joseph Stalin and the Art of Tyranny examines authoritarian rule, revealing how tyrants sustain power through a mix of comfort, terror, love, and fear, often convincing their subjects of their divine purpose. Such leaders build systems of loyalists and subservient institutions, enabling unchecked authority. Joseph Stalin exemplifies this tyranny. As Soviet leader from 1929 to 1953, he implemented totalitarian policies, nationalizing industry and agriculture, controlling economic production through five-year plans, and eliminating dissent through imprisonment, forced labour, or execution. His...

Hearts, Minds, and Hydras: Fighting Terrorism in Afghanistan, Pakistan, America, and Beyond--Dilemmas and Lessons
ISBN: 9781597979504 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Insurgencies are like the hydra, the many-headed beast of Greek mythology. Once one begins, the measures a government takes to eliminate militants--to cut off the insurgency's head--can provoke countless others to join the enemy ranks. Tactical victories often breed strategic defeats. Traditional -search, destroy, and withdraw- missions that rely on firepower to wipe out rebels frequently destroy the livelihoods and loved ones of innocent people caught in the cross fire. U.S. troops have seen the pattern repeated as their initially successful offensives toppled enemy regimes in Afghanistan...

The Age of Lincoln and the Art of American Power, 1848-1876
ISBN: 9781612346588 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Although Abraham Lincoln was among seven presidents who served during the tumultuous years between the end of the Mexican War and the end of the Reconstruction era, history has not been kind to the others: Zachary Taylor, Millard Fillmore, Franklin Pierce, James Buchanan, Andrew Johnson, and Ulysses S. Grant. In contrast, history sees Abraham Lincoln as a giant in character and deeds. During his presidency, he governed brilliantly, developed the economy, liberated four million people from slavery, reunified the nation, and helped enact the Homestead Act, among other accomplishments. He proved...

The Great Frontier War: Britain, France, and the Imperial Struggle for North America, 1607-1755
ISBN: 9780275967727 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) For more than a century and a half, from 1607 to 1763, Britain and France struggled to master the eastern half of North America. They fought five blood-soaked wars and continuously provoked various Indian tribes to raise arms against each other's subjects for the mastery of the land. The last French and Indian War, from 1754 to 1760, would dwarf all previous conflicts in the number of troops, expense, geographical expanse, and total casualties. Placing the French and Indian War in a broad historical context, this study examines the struggle for North America during the two preceding...

From Mountain Man to Millionaire : The ""Bold and Dashing Life"" of Robert Campbell
ISBN: 9780826219299 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 324 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The western fur trade era--a time when trappers and traders endured constant danger from man, beast, and weather--was one of the most colorful periods in American history. Over a decade ago, William R. Nester wrote the first biography of Robert Campbell (1804-1879); the subsequent discovery of nearly five hundred new documents, most from two major caches of letters, led to this even-more-detailed and vivid account of Campbell's self-described "bold and dashing life."Campbell came to America from Ireland in 1822 and entered the fur trade soon after. He quickly rose from trapper...

Napoleon and the Art of Diplomacy: How War and Hubris Determined the Rise and Fall of the French Empire
ISBN: 9781611210927 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) A small library could be stocked with books written about Napoleon Bonaparte the general, whose battles and campaigns have been studied extensively. Warriors, however, are not generally known for their diplomatic skills and Napoleon is no exception. After all, conquerors are accustomed to imposing rather than negotiating terms. For Napoleon, however, the arts of war and diplomacy meshed. Napoleon was often as brilliant and successful at diplomacy as he was at war, although at times he could also be as disastrous at the diplomatic table as he was on his final battlefield. William R. Nester s...

The Age of Jackson and the Art of American Power, 1815-1848
ISBN: 9781612346052 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) As William Nester asserts in The Age of Jackson, it takes quite a leader to personify an age. A political titan for thirty-three years (1815-1848), Andrew Jackson possessed character, beliefs, and acts that dominated American politics. Although Jackson returned to his Tennessee plantation in March 1837 after serving eight years as president, he continued to overshadow American politics. Two of his proteges, Martin -the Magician- van Buren and James -Young Hickory- Polk, followed him to the White House and pursued his agenda. Jackson provoked firestorms of political passions throughout...

ISBN: 9780275967710 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) By 1756 the wilderness war for control of North America that erupted two years earlier between France and England had expanded into a global struggle among all of Europe's Great Powers.

The Epic History of the American West: From the First Peoples to the Present
ISBN: 9781036133757 / Angielski / Twarda / 2025 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The American West evokes powerful imagery—warriors on horseback, cowboys in saloons, and pioneers in wagons heading westward. It symbolizes freedom, reinvention, and the American Dream. However, this idealized image obscures the complex, often violent history of the West, which is as unjust as it is inspiring. Historians debate the boundaries of the American West, but it's clear that it’s a dynamic concept—both a place and an idea, evolving over time. For three centuries, the frontier and western history overlapped until the frontier disappeared in 1890. Early narratives celebrated...

The Jeffersonian Vision, 1801-1815, reveals how the nation's leaders understood and asserted power during those crucial years between Thomas Jefferson's inauguration as the third president and the firing of the last shots at the Battle of New Orleans. Seeking to overcome the bitter political animosities that had plagued the years leading up to his presidency, Jefferson declared in his inaugural address that -we are all Federalists, we are all Republicans.- His words proved to be prescient. The Republican Party, soon to be renamed the Democratic Party, would dominate American politics...
