A Certain Arrogance
The Sacrificing of Lee Harvey Oswald and the Wartime Manipulation of Religious Groups by U.S.
Intelligence
George Michael Evica, Charles Robert Drago
Summary
Providing the first global cultural context for the assassination of John F. Kennedy, this investigation into how
United States intelligence agencies and other entities manipulated liberal religious groups and educational
institutions for ideological, political, and economic gain during the Cold War exposes numerous previously
misunderstood political operations. Including assassinations, these projects include those facilitated by Allen
Dulles, John Foster Dulles, the U.S. State Department, the Office of Strategic Services and its successor, the
CIA, and other individuals and groups. Focusing on the manipulations of key individuals in the American Unitarian
Association, the Unitarian Service Committee, and the Unitarian-supported Albert Schweitzer College by covert
American interests during the Cold War, this exposé asserts that an unwitting Lee Harvey Oswald-an asset and
Trine Day pawn of American intelligence-was the ideal scapegoat in a tragically successful conspiracy to murder President

A Rose by Many Other Names

Rose Cherami & the JFK Assassination
Todd C. Elliott
Summary
Shifting the focus away from the assassination of John F. Kennedy in Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas, to 48 hours
prior in Eunice, Louisiana, this book explores the prediction made by Melba Marcades, aka Rose Cherami, that the
president would be assassinated on Friday, November 22, 1963 in Dallas. Discounting clairvoyance, the book
investigates the possibility that Rose had inside information about the assassination. However, Rose Cherami was
not a credible witness: she was a prostitute, a one-time performer in Jack Ruby's Carousel Club, an admitted
drug trafficker, a drug addict, and a car thief. But the author's research reveals glaring omissions in her FBI files,
questionable admissions regarding her criminal history, and the dubious details of her untimely demise. This book
sheds new light on a relatively unknown footnote of the JFK conspiracy theory.

A Terrible Mistake
The Murder of Frank Olson and the CIA's Secret Cold War Experiments
H. P. Albarelli
Summary
Following nearly a decade of research, this account solves the mysterious death of biochemist Frank Olson,
revealing the identities of his murderers in shocking detail. It offers a unique and unprecedented look into the
backgrounds of many former CIA, FBI, and Federal Narcotics Bureau officials-including several who actually
oversaw the CIA's mind-control programs from the 1950s to the 1970s. In retracing these programs, a frequently
bizarre and always frightening world is introduced, colored, and dominated by many factors-Cold War fears, the
secret relationship between the nation's drug enforcement agencies and the CIA, and the government's close
collaboration with the Mafia.

America 1844
Religious Fervor, Westward Expansion, and the Presidential Election That Transformed the Nation
John Bicknell
Summary
The year 1844 saw a momentous presidential election, religious turmoil, westward expansion, and numerous other
interwoven events that profoundly affected the U.S. as a nation. Author and journalist John Bicknell details
these compelling events in this unusual history book. He explains how the election of James K. Polk assured the
expansion that brought Texas, California, and Oregon into the union. This took place amidst anti-Mormon and
anti-Catholic violence, the belief in the imminent second coming of Christ, the murder of Joseph Smith, Charles
Goodyear's patenting of vulcanized rubber, the near-death of President John Tyler in a freak naval explosion, and
much more. All of these elements illustrate the competing visions of the American future and how Polk's victory
cemented the vision of a continental nation.

America's Nazi Secret (2nd Edition)

An Insider's History
John Loftus
Summary
Fully revised and expanded, this stirring account reveals how the U.S. government permitted the illegal entry of
Nazis into North America in the years following World War II. This extraordinary investigation exposes the secret
section of the State Department that began, starting in 1948 and unbeknownst to Congress and the public until
recently, to hire members of the puppet wartime government of Byelorussia-a region of the Soviet Union
occupied by Nazi Germany. A former Justice Department investigator uncovered this stunning story in the files of
several government agencies, and it is now available with a chapter previously banned from release by
authorities and a foreword and afterword with recently declassified materials.

Answer Them Nothing

Bringing Down the Polygamous Empire of Warren Jeffs
Debra Weyermann
Summary
When police raided the Short Creek compound of the Fundamental Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in
1953, it soon became a political and publicity nightmare and eventually cost the governor of Arizona his job.
From that point on, skittish public officials allowed the polygamist sect to practice its tenants unmolested for the
next 50 years and turned a blind eye to child abandonment, kidnapping, statutory rape, incest, and massive tax
and welfare fraud.
But then Warren Jeffs, a new FLDS prophet, escalated the sect's crimes to near madness. Activists watched in
horror as he used his limitless authority and the resources of a tax-supported community-in essence, a feudal
empire on the Utah/Arizona border-to devastate thousands of lives on cruel whims, marrying girls as young as 11

Battle at Alcatraz
A Desperate Attempt to Escape the Rock
Ernest B. Lageson
Summary
One of the bloddiest battles in the history of American prisons occurred at Alcatraz in May 1946, when prisoners
staged a breakout, obtaining guns from the gun gallery and taking nine guards hostage. The escape attempt was
the cumination of months of methodical planning. But, when a last-minute glitch foiled their escape, inmates shot
the hostages in effort to leave no witnesses. Before order was restored, thousands of rounds were fired by
federal prison personnel and a detachment of the U.S. Marines. Among the guards who survived the shooting
was Ernie Lageson, Sr. the author's father. Now in Battle at Alcatrz, author Ernie Lageson Jr. passes on his
father's story. Meticulously researched, this compelling story offers an insider's perspective on both the
notorious riot and life inside the most infamous prison in America. Eight pages of photos.

Black Mask & Up Against the Wall Motherfucker

The Incomplete Works of Ron Hahne, Ben Morea, and the Black Mask Group
Ron Hahne, Ben Morea
Summary
Chronicling the history of two New York City provocateur groups-Black Mask and Up Against the Wall,
Motherfucker-this account complies the complete 10 issues of the newspaper Black Mask; numerous leaflets,
articles, and flyers generated by Black Mask; the Up Against the Wall Motherfucker Magazine; and Free Press

melded the ideas and inspiration of Dada with the anarchism of the Spanish Revolution, and this volume
demonstrates how they heavily influenced the art, politics, and culture of the decade as they briefly shut down
the Museum of Modern Art, protested Wall Street, battled at Students for a Democratic Society conferences,
and defended the shooting of Andy Warhol. This history then details how in 1968 Black Mask reorganized as Up
Against the Wall, Motherfucker, which combined the confrontational theater and tactics of Black Mask with a

The Birth, High Times, and Corruption of Atlantic City
Nelson Johnson
Summary
From its inception, Atlantic City has always been a town dedicated to the fast buck, and this wide-reaching
history offers a riveting account of its past 100 years-from the city's heyday as a Prohibition-era mecca of
lawlessness to its rebirth as a legitimate casino resort in the modern era. A colorful cast of characters, led by
Enoch "Nucky" Johnson, populates this stranger-than-fiction account of corrupt politics and the toxic power
structure that grew out of guile, finesse, and extortion. Atlantic City's shadowy past-through its rise, fall, and
rebirth-is given new light in this revealing, and often appalling, study of legislative abuse and organized crime.

Children of the Movement

John Blake
Summary
Profiling 24 of the adult children of the most recognizable figures in the civil rights movement, this book collects
the intimate, moving stories of families who were pulled apart by the horrors of the struggle or brought together
by their efforts to change America. The whole range of players is covered, from the children of leading figures
like Martin Luther King Jr. and martyrs like James Earl Chaney to segregationists like George Wallace and Black
Panther leaders like Elaine Brown. The essays reveal that some children are more pessimistic than their parents,
whose idealism they saw destroyed by the struggle, while others are still trying to change the world. Included
are such inspiring stories as the daughter of a notoriously racist Southern governor who finds her calling as a
teacher in an all-black inner-city school and the daughter of a famous martyr who unexpectedly meets her
mother's killer. From the first activists killed by racist Southerners to the current global justice protestors
carrying on the work of their parents, these profiles offer a look behind the public face of...

Defining Moments: The Dream of America: Immigration 1870-1920

Kevin Hillstrom
Summary
An excellent survey of the American immigration experience, this history looks at all aspects of immigration during
the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Examining immigration as it was before the American Civil War through
the difficult-and often dangerous-voyage to the "New World" and the arrival at Ellis Island, this account
demonstrates how people settled into what has become known as the "melting pot" of American life. Arguing that
this new influx of humanity eventually made its impact as immigrants contributed their widely-varying cultural
backgrounds and skill sets to society, this volume also includes numerous biographies of individuals who were
important at the time, such as Jane Addams, and primary sources that shed light on Americans' thoughts on
these events as they were happening.

Summary
Detailed and filled with primary sources, this account examines a period in American history of unparalleled
hardship: the Great Depression. Beginning with an exploration of the Roaring Twenties, in which the appetite for
the consumption of goods and for the good life was a primary focus of many, it also looks at the warning signs
that went largely unheeded as well as the Crash of 1929, the Hoover administration's difficulties, Roosevelt's
election, and his New Deal. In addition, this comprehensive history not only discusses the Great Depression's
legacy-such as the political and social effects on present day American society-but also includes numerous
biographies of individuals who were noteworthy during the era.

Detroit
A Biography
Scott Martelle
Summary
At its heyday in the 1950s and 1960s, Detroit's status as epicenter of the American auto industry made it a
vibrant, populous, commercial hub-and then the bottom fell out. Detroit: A Biography takes a long, unflinching
look at the evolution of one of America's great cities and one of the nation's greatest urban failures. This
authoritative yet accessible narrative seeks to explain how the city grew to become the heart of American
industry and how its utter collapse-from nearly two million residents in 1950 to less than 715,000 some six
decades later-resulted from a confluence of public policies, private industry decisions, and deeply ingrained
racism. Drawing from U.S. Census data and including profiles of individuals who embody the recent struggles and
hopes of the city, this book chronicles the evolution of what a modern city once was and what it has become.

Detroit
A Biography
Scott Martelle
Summary
Detroit was established as a French settlement three-quarters of a century before the founding of this nation. A
remote outpost built to protect trapping interests, it grew as agriculture expanded on the new frontier. Its
industry took a great leap forward with the completion of the Erie Canal, which opened up the Great Lakes to
the East Coast. Surrounded by untapped natural resources, Detroit turned iron from the Mesabi Range into
stoves and railcars, and eventually cars by the millions. This vibrant commercial hub attracted businessmen and
labor organizers, European immigrants and African Americans from the rural South. At its mid-20th-century
heyday, one in six American jobs were connected to the auto industry, its epicenter in Detroit. And then the
bottom fell out.

Devil's Sanctuary
An Eyewitness History of Mississippi Hate Crimes
James L. Dickerson, Alex A. Alston
Summary
Lynchings, beatings, arson, denial of rights, false imprisonment--the civil rights era brought attention to these
heinous offenses that were the status quo for African Americans in many areas of the country. And no state was
more notorious as a sanctuary for the murderers and perpetrators of hate crimes than Mississippi. In 1956 state
lawmakers installed the Mississippi State Sovereignty Commission to preserve segregation and "Mississippi Values"
by declaring the state outside the jurisdiction of the federal government. Under the auspices of the governor and
lieutenant governor, the commission joined forces with groups such as the White Citizens' Councils, which would
stop at nothing in their quest for white supremacy.
In Devil's Sanctuary, Alex A. Alston Jr. and James L. Dickerson, both of whom grew up in small-town Mississippi,

Dorset Pioneers
Dorset's Link with the Formation of the USA and Canada
Jack Dwyer
Summary
Absorbing and beautifully written, this is the fascinating story of the pioneering men and women from the English
county of Dorset, many of whom have played key roles in the founding and running of the U.S. and Canada.
Such historical figures are included as Sir Walter Raleigh and trade union heroes the Tolpuddle Martyrs. Lesser-
known but equally fascinating Dorset pioneers include a Bridport bank clerk who eventually became the head of
securities for a Canadian bank, and the Lyme Regis naval hero Admiral Somers who, on his way to rescue Sir
Walter Raleigh's Virginian colonialists, discovered Bermuda. The final chapter is dedicated to a Dorset lass who
reached the height of U.S. politics, and of whom Bill Clinton said, "I am here in the office of President of the
United States in no small measure because she was there."

Drugs as Weapons Against Us

The CIA's Murderous Targeting of SDS, Panthers, Hendrix, Lennon, Cobain, Tupac, and Other Leftists
John L. Potash
Summary
Drugs as Weapons Against Us meticulously details how a group of opium-trafficking families came to form an
American oligarchy and eventually achieved global dominance. This oligarchy helped fund the Nazi regime and
then saved thousands of Nazis to work with the Central Intelligence Agency. CIA operations such as MK-Ultra
pushed LSD and other drugs on leftist leaders and left-leaning populations at home and abroad. Evidence
supports that this oligarchy further led the United States into its longest-running wars in the ideal areas for
opium crops, while also massively funding wars in areas of coca plant abundance for cocaine production under
the guise of a "war on drugs" that is actually the use of drugs as a war on us. Drugs as Weapons Against Us tells
how scores of undercover U.S. Intelligence agents used drugs in the targeting of leftist leaders from SDS to the
Black Panthers, Young Lords, Latin Kings, and the Occupy Movement. It also tells how they particularly targeted
Trine Day leftist musicians, including John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, and Tupac Shakur to promote drugs while

Edwin Kaiser's Covert Life

And His Little Black Book Linking Cuba, Watergate & the JFK Assassination
Scott Kaiser
Summary
Edwin Benjamin Kaiser was a thrill-seeking patriot who became enmeshed with many of America's biggest
conspiracies, the full significance of which is pieced together and explored in this exciting account by his son,
Scott Kaiser. Through handwritten letters and contact book entries left by Edwin Kaiser, and a bevy of
discovered government documents, an exciting puzzle forms around the life of a man who was at once a patriot,
an arms smuggler, a revolutionary leader, an assassin, and a husband and father. In the 1970s Edwin was the
military head of an anti-Castro movement called Cubanos Unidos, and during his life he was frequently in contact
with Frank Sturgis-during which time Edwin confessed to the author an assassination plot against President Nixon
and confirmed Sturgis' role in the death of JFK. This thrilling mix of paramilitary bravado, government conspiracy,
family history, and firsthand anecdote shows how Edwin Kaiser was willing to lay it all on the line to accomplish
Trine Day what he thought was right.

Figaro's Fleet
Raymond Reagan Butler
Summary
In 1776, the American rebel colonists were desperately in need of arms and financial backing, and the Frenchman
Pierre Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais came rapidly to their aid. Radical dramatist, business tycoon, and former
spy, he was the ideal man to encourage a revolution in the making, and he promptly set up a fictitious shipping
firm to supply and transport munitions to the Americans; by September 1777 he had sent five million livres' worth
of supplies. American victories in three revolutionary battles owed much to this one remarkable man's efforts.
With its thriller-like episodes, moments of intense drama, and equally high comedy, Figaro's Fleet provides an
entertaining insight into the "cloak and dagger" financing of the first revolution of the modern world.

Fighting the Devil in Dixie

How Civil Rights Activists Took on the Ku Klux Klan in Alabama
Wayne Greenhaw
Summary
Shortly after the success of the Montgomery Bus Boycott, the Ku Klux Klan--determined to keep segregation as
the way of life in Alabama--staged a resurgence, and the strong-armed leadership of governor George C.
Wallace, who defied the new civil rights laws, empowered the Klan's most violent members. As Wallace's power
grew, however, blacks began fighting back in the courthouses and schoolhouses, as did young southern lawyers
like Charles "Chuck" Morgan, who became the ACLU's southern director; Morris Dees, who cofounded the
Southern Poverty Law Center; and Bill Baxley, Alabama attorney general, who successfully prosecuted the
bomber of Birmingham's Sixteenth Street Baptist Church and legally halted some of Wallace's agencies designed
to slow down integration.

Files on JFK
Interviews with Confessed Assassin James E. Files, and More New Evidence of the Conspiracy that
Killed JFK
Wim Dankbaar
Summary
Contrary to the belief that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone assassin in Dealey Plaza at the time that President
John F. Kennedy was shot, this account maintains that a gunman located on the grassy knoll delivered the final,
fatal shot. Based on interviews with James E. Files, the alleged gunman, the chronicle proposes that the
assassination was initiated by the CIA in collaboration with organized crime-Sam Giancana, Charles Nicoletti, and
Johnny Roselli, in particular. Subsequent discoveries made through the assistance of a number of retired FBI
agents also implicate two anti-Castro terrorists protected by prosecution from the Bush administration-Orlando
Bosch and Luis Posada Carriles.

Fixing America
Breaking the Stranglehold of Corporate Rule, Big Media, and the Religious Right
John Buchanan, John McConnell
Summary
An award-winning investigative reporter provides a clear, honest diagnosis of the country's chronic diseases-
corporate rule, big media, and the religious right-in this damning analysis. Exposing the darker side of capitalism,
this critique raises alarms about the security of democracy in today's society, including the rise of the corporate
state, the insidious role of professional lobbyists, the emergence of religion and theocracy as a right-wing
political tactic, the failure of the mass media, and the sinister presence of an Orwellian neo-fascism. Drawing on
historic voices that include John Adams, Mahatma Gandhi, Thomas Jefferson, Robert F. Kennedy, James Madison,
Thomas Paine, and Mark Twain, this treatise articulates a fresh vision for 21st-century America that deserves
the attention of every patriot.

For All the People (2nd Edition)

Uncovering the Hidden History of Cooperation, Cooperative Movements, and Communalism in America
John Curl, Ishmael Reed
Summary
Seeking to reclaim a history that has remained largely ignored by historians, this dramatic and stirring account
examines each of the definitive American cooperative movements for social change-farmer, union, consumer, and
communalist-that have been all but erased from collective memory. With an expansive sweep and breathtaking
detail, this scholarly yet eminently readable chronicle follows the American worker from the colonial workshop to
the modern mass-assembly line, from the family farm to the corporate hierarchy, ultimately painting a vivid
panorama of those who built the United States and those who will shape its future. This second edition contains
a new introduction by Ishmael Reed, a new preface by the author that discusses cooperatives in the Great
Recession of 2008 and their future in the 21st century, and a new chapter on the role co-ops played in the food
revolution of the 1970s.

Forced into Glory

Abraham Lincoln's White Dream
Lerone Bennett
Summary
Beginning with the argument that the Emancipation Proclamation did not actually free African American slaves,
this dissenting view of Lincoln's greatness surveys the president's policies, speeches, and private utterances and
concludes that he had little real interest in abolition. Pointing to Lincoln's support for the fugitive slave laws, his
friendship with slave-owning senator Henry Clay, and conversations in which he entertained the idea of deporting
slaves in order to create an all-white nation, the book, concludes that the president was a racist at heart-and
that the tragedies of Reconstruction and the Jim Crow era were the legacy of his shallow moral vision.

Selected Speeches and Writings
Frederick Douglass, Philip S. Foner, Yuval Taylor
Summary
One of the greatest African American leaders and one of the most brilliant minds of his time, Frederick Douglass
spoke and wrote with unsurpassed eloquence on almost all the major issues confronting the American people
during his life-from the abolition of slavery to women's rights, from the Civil War to lynching, from American
patriotism to black nationalism. Between 1950 and 1975, Philip S. Foner collected the most important of
Douglass's hundreds of speeches, letters, articles, and editorials into an impressive five-volume set, now long out
of print. Abridged and condensed into one volume, and supplemented with several important texts that Foner did
not include, this compendium presents the most significant, insightful, and elegant short works of Douglass's
massive oeuvre.

From an Office Building with a High-Powered Rifle

One FBI Agent's View of the JFK Assassination
Don Adams, Harrison E. Livingstone
Summary
The personal and professional story of a former FBI agent, this is the journey Don Adams has taken over the
past 50 years that has connected him to the assassination of the 35th president of the United States. On
November 13, 1963, Adams was given a priority assignment to investigate Joseph Milteer, a man who had made
threats to assassinate the president. Two weeks later John F. Kennedy was dead, and Agent Adams was
instructed to locate and question Milteer. Adams, however, was only allowed to ask the suspect five specific
questions before being told to release him. He was puzzled by the bizarre orders but thought nothing more of it
until years later when he read a report that stated that not only had Joseph Milteer made threats against the
president, but also that he claimed Kennedy would be killed from an office building with a high-powered rifle.
Since that time, Adams has compiled evidence and research from every avenue available to him, including his
Trine Day experiences in Georgia and Dallas FBI offices, to produce this compelling investigation that may just raise more

Gentlemen Bootleggers
The True Story of Templeton Rye, Prohibition, and a Small Town in Cahoots
Bryce T. Bauer
Summary
During Prohibition, while Al Capone was rising to worldwide prominence as Public Enemy Number One, the
townspeople of rural Templeton, Iowa-population just 428-were busy with a bootlegging empire of their own. Led
by Joe Irlbeck, the whip-smart and gregarious son of a Bavarian immigrant, the outfit of farmers, small
merchants, and even the church monsignor worked together to create a whiskey so excellent it was ordered by
name: "Templeton rye."Just as Al Capone had Eliot Ness, Templeton's bootleggers had as their own enemy a
respected Prohibition agent from the adjacent county named Benjamin Franklin Wilson. Wilson was ardent in his
fight against alcohol, and he chased Irlbeck for over a decade. But Irlbeck was not Capone, and Templeton
would not be ruled by violence like Chicago.

Harry Truman's Excellent Adventure

The True Story of a Great American Road Trip
Matthew Algeo
Summary
On June 19, 1953, Harry Truman got up early, packed the trunk of his Chrysler New Yorker, and did something no
other former president has done before or since: he hit the road. No Secret Service protection. No traveling
press. Just Harry and his childhood sweetheart Bess, off to visit old friends, take in a Broadway play, celebrate
their wedding anniversary in the Big Apple, and blow a bit of the money he'd just received to write his memoirs.
Hopefully incognito.
In this lively history, author Matthew Algeo meticulously details how Truman's plan to blend in went wonderfully
awry. Fellow diners, bellhops, cabbies, squealing teenagers at a Future Homemakers of America convention, and
one very by-the-book Pennsylvania state trooper all unknowingly conspired to blow his cover. Algeo revisits the

When FDR Met King George VI at Hyde Park on Hudson
Peter Conradi
Summary
From the coauthor of The King's Speech, the story behind the historic meeting between FDR and King George VI
on the eve of World War II, a meeting that is now the subject of a major Hollywood movie, Hyde Park on Hudson
Between June 9th and 12th 1939, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth were the guests of Franklin Delano
Roosevelt at his country estate in Hyde Park, New York, during what was the first ever visit by a reigning British
monarch to the United States. Coming at a time when Britain desperately needed U.S. help in the conflict that
now seemed inevitable, the meeting was front page news on both sides of the Atlantic and imbued with huge
political significance. This fascinating book recreates the backdrop to the royal visit, analyzing the political
background and the media's reaction, and tells the back stories both of the King and of FDR, whose colorful
personal life became entwined with the visit.

Huguenot Refugees in Colonial New York

Becoming American in the Hudson Valley
Paula Wheeler Carlo
Summary
Drawing comparisons with the broader Huguenot diaspora, this examination reassesses the prevailing view that
Huguenots in North America quickly conformed to Anglicanism and abandoned the French language and other
distinctive characteristics in order to assimilate into Anglo-American culture. Although the standard
interpretation may still be true for Huguenots in heterogeneous urban communities, this book argues that it
should be modified for Huguenots in ethnically and religiously homogeneous rural settlements like New Paltz and
New Rochelle, where the process was more akin to a gradual acculturation. Utilizing wills, census materials,
manuscript sermons, church records, letters from the Anglican-backed Society for the Propagation of the Gospel
in Foreign Parts, and private documents to explore church and family life, this book provides a fascinating insight
into colonial America, the Atlantic world, and religious history.

I.W.W. Songs to Fan the Flames of Discontent

A Facsimile Reprint of the Popular Nineteenth Edition 1923
Industrial Workers of the World
Summary
Undoubtedly the most popular book in American labor history, the I.W.W.'s Little Red Song Book has been a
staple item on picket lines and workers' gatherings for generations and has gone through numerous editions. As a
result of I.W.W. efforts to keep up with the times, however, recent versions of the songbook have omitted most
of the old-time favorites, especially the raucous lyrics of the free-spirited hoboes who made up such a large
portion of the union's membership in its heyday. Reprinted here is the 19th edition, originally issued in 1923, the
year the I.W.W. reached its peak membership. Of the 52 songs in this book, the overwhelming majority have not
been included in the I.W.W.'s own songbooks for many years. Here are such classics as Joe Hill's "John Golden
and the Lawrence Strike," "We Will Sing One Song," "Scissor Bill," "The Tramp," and others; T-Bone Slim's "I'm

Inside America's Concentration Camps

Two Centuries of Internment and Torture
James L. Dickerson
Summary
Xenophobia, paranoia, and racism have long challenged democracy, a battle played out dramatically in the
concentration camps that were built, staffed, and filled with adults and children under the orders of the U.S.
government. Beginning in the nineteenth century with the imprisonment of Native Americans, camps reappeared
during World War II with the roundup of Japanese Americans, German Americans, Italian Americans, and Jews
fleeing Nazi Germany. They resurfaced recently when Homeland Security awarded a major contract to a
subsidiary of Halliburton for the construction of new camps.
In Inside America's Concentration Camps, author James L. Dickerson explores the history and the tragedy of the
camps in a vivid narrative that brings the stories of the victims and the flaws of our government to life. Rebecca

Kentucky Clay
Eleven Generations of a Southern Dynasty
Katherine R. Bateman
Summary
This sweeping history traces eleven generations of the Clays of Kentucky, a founding American family and
Southern dynasty whose members include Henry Clay, who ran for president against James K. Polk; his cousin
Cassius Marcellus Clay, a prominent abolitionist and Lincoln's advisor against slavery; and matriarch Kizzie Clay,
who buried the family silver and escaped by flatboat to avoid marauding Union soldiers. The history of the early
colonial period comes to life, beginning with the arrival of the Clay family in Jamestown, Virginia, in 1613 and the
Cecil family in St. Mary's, Maryland, in 1634, continuing through their trek across Virginia to the Appalachian
Mountains, leading to the families' eventual intermarriage in 1800 and their move across the mountains to
Kentucky and beyond.

Killing the Poormaster

A Saga of Poverty, Corruption, and Murder in the Great Depression
Holly Metz
Summary
On February 25, 1938, in the early days of the welfare system, the reviled poormaster Harry Barck-wielding
power over who would receive public aid-died from a paper spike thrust into his heart. Barck was murdered, the
prosecution would assert, by an unemployed mason named Joe Scutellaro. In denying Scutellaro money, Barck
had suggested the man's wife prostitute herself on the streets rather than ask the city of Hoboken, New Jersey,
for aid. The men scuffled. Scutellaro insisted that Barck fell on his spike; the police claimed he grabbed the spike
and stabbed Barck.
Chicago Review Press News of the poormaster's death brought national attention to the plight of ten million unemployed living in

Last Chance for Justice

How Relentless Investigators Uncovered New Evidence Convicting the Birmingham Church Bombers
T. K. Thorne
Summary
On the morning of September 15, 1963, a bomb exploded outside the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church in
Birmingham, Alabama, killing four young girls. Thirty-two years later, stymied by a code of silence and an
imperfect and often racist legal system, only one person, Robert "Dynamite Bob" Chambliss, had been convicted
in the murders, though a wider conspiracy was suspected. With many key witnesses and two suspects already
dead, there seemed little hope of bringing anyone else to justice.
But in 1995 the FBI and local law enforcement reopened the investigation in secret, led by detective Ben Herren
of the Birmingham Police Department and special agent Bill Fleming of the FBI. For over a year, Herren and
Fleming analyzed the original FBI files on the bombing and activities of the Ku Klux Klan, then began a search for

Middling Folk
Three Seas, Three Centuries, One Scots-Irish Family
Linda H. Matthews
Summary
Historians and biographers have traditionally favored stories of the powerful and the trends they set in motion.
More recently, they've spotlighted the neglected lives of the disenfranchised and dispossessed. "But," asks Linda
H. Matthews, descendant of the pragmatic, adaptable, and lively Hammill family, "who tells the stories of the
people in the middle?"
Spanning three centuries and three seas, from the bluffs of Scotland and Ireland to colonial Chesapeake Bay and
Virginia, then across the expanding nation into the Pacific Northwest, Middling Folk makes the compelling case
that the experiences of the middle classes--those who "quietly, century after century, conducted the business
and built the livelihoods that made their societies prosper"--reveal a great deal about the founding of the United

Pedestrianism
When Watching People Walk Was America's Favorite Spectator Sport
Matthew Algeo
Summary
Strange as it sounds, during the 1870s and 1880s, America's most popular spectator sport wasn't baseball,
boxing, or horseracing-it was competitive walking. Inside sold-out arenas, competitors walked around dirt tracks
almost nonstop for six straight days (never on Sunday), risking their health and sanity to see who could walk the
farthest-500 miles, then 520 miles, and 565 miles! These walking matches were as talked about as the weather,
the details reported from coast to coast.
This long-forgotten sport, known as pedestrianism, spawned America's first celebrity athletes and opened doors
for immigrants, African Americans, and women. The top pedestrians earned a fortune in prize money and
endorsement deals. But along with the excitement came the inevitable scandals, charges of doping-coca

characters that left indelible marks on the western Pennsylvania city's history. It's not just legendaries such as

personal contributions of individuals who have inspired, stunned and amused us while building up Pittsburgh along
the banks of the Allegheny, Monongahela and Ohio Rivers. Explore the struggles of labor workers, the innovation
of authors and artists, the dedication of activists and city officials, and the actions of fellow Pittsburghers

Praise from a Future Generation

The Assassination of John F. Kennedy and the First Generation Critics of the Warren Report
John Kelin
Summary
Finely written and meticulously documented, this book describes how-very early on-a small group of ordinary
citizens began extraordinary efforts to demonstrate that the JFK assassination could not have happened the way
the government said it did. In time, their efforts had an enormous impact on public opinion, but this account
concentrates on the months before the controversy caught fire, when people with skeptical viewpoints still saw
themselves as lone voices. Material seldom seen by the public includes a suppressed photograph of the grassy
knoll, an unpublished 1964 interview with an eyewitness, the earliest mention of the "magic bullet," and an
analysis of the commotion surrounding New Orleans district attorney Jim Garrison's charge that anti-Castro CIA
operatives were involved.

Ranking the Presidents on Peace, Prosperity, and Liberty
Ivan Eland
Summary
Profiling each president on the merits of their policies and on the core principles of peace, prosperity, and liberty,
this ranking system takes a distinctly new approach. Historians and scholars have long tended to respect the
war heroes and men who have succeeded in expanding the power of the executive office. However, this new
examination cuts through longstanding bias and political rhetoric to offer a new nonpartisan system of ranking
that is based purely on strength of policies and adherence to the Founding Father's guidelines for limited
government. These rankings will surprise most and enlighten even acknowledged experts on the presidency.

Securing Civil Rights

Freedmen, the Fourteenth Amendment, and the Right to Bear Arms
Stephen P. Halbrook
Summary
Unique and well-researched, this study concentrates on the right to keep and bear arms and analyzes the
incorporation of the Bill of Rights into the Fourteenth Amendment. Examining the history of the recognition of the
right of freedmen to keep and bear arms in the period between 1866 and 1876, this comprehensive volume
analyzes the extent to which American political society was willing to secure the same civil rights to all without
regard to race or previous condition of slavery.

Settlers
The Mythology of the White Proletariat from Mayflower to Modern
J. Sakai
Summary
A uniquely important book in the canon of the North American revolutionary left and anticolonial movements,
Settlers was first published in the 1980s. Written by activists with decades of experience organizing in
grassroots anticapitalist struggles against white supremacy, the book established itself as an essential reference
point for revolutionary nationalists and dissident currents within the Marxist-Leninist and anarchist movements.
Always controversial within the establishment left, Settlers uncovers centuries of collaboration between
capitalism and white workers and their organizations, as well as their neocolonial allies, showing how the United
States was designed from the ground up as a parasitic and genocidal entity. As recounted in painful detail by J.
Sakai, the United States has been built on the theft of Indigenous lands and of Afrikan labor, on the robbery of
the northern third of Mexico, the colonization of Puerto Rico, and the expropriation of the Asian working class,

Sinister Forces-A Warm Gun

A Grimoire of American Political Witchcraft
Peter Levenda, Dick Russell
Summary
The roots of coincidence and conspiracy in American politics, crime, and culture are investigated in this second
volume of a three-part set that exposes new connections between religion, political conspiracy, terrorism, and
occultism. Not a work of speculative history, this exposé is founded on primary source material and historical
documents and provides strange parallels between supernatural forces such as shaminism, ritual magic, and cult
practices and contemporary interrogation techniques such as those used by the CIA under the general rubric of
MK-ULTRA. Fascinating details on Nixon and the "Dark Tower," the Assassin cult and more recent Islamic
terrorism, and the bizarre themes that run through American history from its discovery by Columbus to the
political assassinations of the 1960s are revealed.

Sinister Forces-The Nine

Peter Levenda, Jim Hougan
Summary
The roots of coincidence and conspiracy in American politics, crime, and culture are examined in this first volume
of a three-part set, exposing new connections between religion, political conspiracy, and occultism. Based on
the premise that there is a satanic undercurrent to American affairs, this study examines the sinister forces at
work throughout history, from ancient American civilizations and the mysterious mound-builder culture to the
Salem witch trials, the birth of Mormonism during a ritual of ceremonial magic by Joseph Smith Jr., and Operations
Paperclip and Bluebird. Not a work of speculative history, this exposé is founded on primary source material and
historical documents. Fascinating details are revealed, including the bizarre world of "wandering bishops" who
appear throughout the Kennedy assassinations; a CIA mind-control program run amok in the United States and
Canada; a famous American spiritual leader who had ties to Lee Harvey Oswald in the weeks and months leading
Trine Day up to the assassination of President Kennedy; and the "Manson secret."

Soldiers for Sale

German "Mercenaries" with the British in Canada during the American Revolution (1776-83)
Jean-Pierre Wilhelmy, Virginia Easley DeMarce, Mar...
Summary
A fascinating study that uncovers an important aspect of the history of the American Revolution, this account
reveals how the British Army that fought the American Revolutionaries was, in fact, an Anglo-German army.
Arguing that the British Crown had doubts about the willingness of English soldiers to fight against other English-
speaking people in North America, the book details how the task of providing troops fell upon the princes of
German States, who were relatives of England's ruling family. In return for large amounts of money, German
princes and barons provided about 30,000 soldiers, many of whom were dragged unwillingly from their families
and sent to fight in a war in which they had no interest. While some of the soldiers eventually melted into the
French and English-speaking societies of Canada, little history has been available, not even to the descendant
families. These soldiers' experiences offer new insight into the battles that took place between 1776 and 1783

Strike!
Jeremy Brecher
Summary
Since its original publication in 1972, no book has done as much as Jeremy Brecher's Strike! to bring American
labor history to a wide audience. Strike! narrates the dramatic story of repeated, massive, and sometimes violent
revolts by ordinary working people in America and tells this exciting hidden history from the point of view of the
rank-and-file workers who lived it. In this expanded edition, Brecher brings the story up to date with revised
chapters that cover the 40 years since the original edition, placing the problems faced by working people today
in the context of 140 years of labor history. A new chapter, "Beyond One-Sided Class War" presents the
American minirevolts of the 21st century from the Battle of Seattle to Occupy Wall Street and beyond. Essential
reading for anyone interested in the historical or present-day situation of American workers, this updated classic
serves as inspiration for organizers, activists, and educators working to revive the labor movement today.

Survivor's Guilt
The Secret Service and the Failure to Protect President Kennedy
Vincent Michael Palamara
Summary
Painstakingly researched by an authority on the history of the Secret Service and based on primary, firsthand
accounts from more than 80 former agents, White House aides, and family members, this is the definitive
account of what went wrong with John F. Kennedy's security detail on the day he was assassinated. The work
provides a detailed look at how JFK could and should have been protected and debunks numerous fraudulent
notions that persist about the day in question, including that JFK ordered agents off the rear of his limousine;
demanded the removal of the bubble top that covered the vehicle; and was difficult to protect and somehow,
directly or indirectly, made his own tragic death easier for an assassin or assassins. This book also thoroughly
investigates the threats on the president's life before traveling to Texas; the presence of unauthorized Secret
Service agents in Dealey Plaza, the site of the assassination; the failure of the Secret Service in monitoring and
Trine Day securing the surrounding buildings, overhangs, and rooftops; and the surprising conspiratorial beliefs of several ...

The Admiral and the Ambassador

One Man's Obsessive Search for the Body of John Paul Jones
Scott Martelle
Summary
As the French Revolution gathered steam, the exact location of Jones's grave-and, in fact, the exact location of
St. Louis cemetery in Paris, where he was buried in 1792-was forgotten: information on his death and burial were
destroyed in the Paris Commune and the few who had attended his burial had passed away. His body had,
though, been preserved in a lead-lined coffin filled with alcohol; theoretically, if the coffin could be located,
Jones could be returned to the United States for proper burial. The Admiral and the Ambassador details Porter's
long, unrelenting search for that coffin, first through scraps of archive material and written recollections of
funeral attendees, and then beneath the rickety buildings that had been constructed over what he believed to
be the graveyard. This book, the only full-length account of the search for and discovery of John Paul Jones's
body, offers a fascinating look into the charismatic, real-life characters who populated the first century of the
Chicago Review Press United States of America.

The Chiefs Remember

The Forest Service, 1952-2001
Harold K. Steen
Summary
In excerpts from a series of interviews, seven former Forest Service chiefs look back at the issues they faced
throughout their 50 collective years of service and provide a glimpse into the inner workings of America's oldest
and largest federal land-management agency. At times caught unaware by the forces of change, at times
prescient, by turns humble and defiant, yet always candid, the chiefs endured a sea-change of increasing strife
marked by vocabulary that still clangs with contention-wilderness, clearcutting, ecosystem management,
environmentalism, timber salvage. Reflecting on their efforts during the last half of the 20th century to carry out
the agency's mission in an era of escalating turbulence, the chiefs offer behind-the-scenes analyses of both the
controversies and the agency's responses-factors destined to influence federal land-management for the years
to come.

The Death of Meriwether Lewis (2nd Edition)

A Historic Crime Scene Investigation
James E. Starrs, Kira Gale
Summary
Even after more than two centuries, mystery continues to surround Meriwether Lewis's death-did the famous
explorer commit suicide or was he murdered? Recently revealed truths and deconstructed myths are woven
together in this fascinating account to form an unforgettable tale of political corruption, assassins, forged
documents, and skeletal remains. New research implicating General James Wilkinson-commanding general of the
U.S. Army and coconspirator of Aaron Burr-as the assassin is thoroughly discussed, while riveting testimony from
13 leading experts in wound ballistics, forensic anthropology, suicide psychology, grave-site exhumation, and
handwriting analysis offers new insight into what Lewis's exhumed remains might reveal. The new evidence not
only destroys the foundation of suicide arguments by proving the primary evidence is a forgery, it also proves
the Indian Agent escorting Lewis lied about his activities on the day of Lewis's death. The book also contains

The Divided Union

A Concise History of the American Civil War
Peter Batty
Summary
The Divided Union is an account of five of the most dramatic and tragic years in the history of the U.S. The
families and neighbors of a fledgling superpower were pitted against each other in a war concerned with the
most fundamental of human motivations: freedom, identity, and nation. While great leaders like Abraham Lincoln
and Ulysses S. Grant found their moment, millions of ordinary Americans suffered terribly and more were killed
than during the First and Second World Wars combined. The victory of the North determined the indivisibility of
the Union and ensured its development as a nation, yet deep scars remained, and the ideals outlined by Lincoln
in the Gettysburg Address failed to become a blueprint for the modern U.S. This is an accessible and compelling
account both of the conflict itself and of its wider implications.

The Irish in the American Civil War

Damian Shiels
Summary
Twenty-four stories of the Irish in the U.S. Civil War-true tales of sacrifice, gallantry, and chance
This is the story of the forgotten role of the 200,000 Irish men and women who were involved in various ways in
the U.S. Civil War. It includes the story of James Shields, who challenged Abraham Lincoln to a duel in Illinois
before the war began, and James O'Beirne, whose job was to hunt Lincoln's assassin. The stories are divided into
"beginnings," "realities," "the wider war," and "aftermath." Each section contains six true stories of gallantry,
sacrifice, and bravery, from the flag bearer who saved his regimental colors at the cost of his arms, to the story
of Jennie Hodgers, who successfully passed as a man to serve throughout the war in the 95th. All photos come
from the Library of Congress.

The Pig War

The Most Perfect War in History
E. C. Coleman
Summary
With a plot to grace any comic opera, the 1859-1872 "Pig War" broke out when an American living on a quietly
disputed small island in the Gulf of Georgia (present-day San Juan Island in Washington State) shot a British pig
he found rooting up his garden produce. The authorities on nearby Vancouver Island and the military leadership
of adjacent Washington Territory both felt they had good reasons to escalate a trivial incident into a full-blown
war between the U.S. and Great Britain. Soon, American soldiers found themselves looking down the barrels of
the Royal Navy's cannons. While both the British authorities and the Americans continued to threaten and
bluster, the Royal Marines and their U.S. counterparts settled down to a round of social events, including sports
days, combined dinners, and even summer balls. Despite the outbreak of the American Civil War, and British
intervention on the Confederate side, it was decided that the problem should become one of the earliest
examples of international arbitration. The German Kaiser was brought in-and came to the wrong decision. Set

The President Is a Sick Man

Wherein the Supposedly Virtuous Grover Cleveland Survives a Secret Surgery at Sea and Vilifies the
Courageous Newspaperman Who Dared Expose the Truth
Matthew Algeo
Summary
An extraordinary yet almost unknown chapter in American history is revealed in this extensively researched
exposé. On July 1, 1893, President Grover Cleveland boarded a friend's yacht and was not heard from for five
days. During that time, a team of doctors removed a cancerous tumor from the president's palate along with
much of his upper jaw. When an enterprising reporter named E. J. Edwards exposed the secret operation,
Cleveland denied it and Edwards was consequently dismissed as a disgrace to journalism. Twenty-four years
later, one of the president's doctors finally revealed the incredible truth, but many Americans simply would not
believe it. After all, Grover Cleveland's political career was built upon honesty-his most memorable quote was
"Tell the truth"-so it was nearly impossible to believe he was involved in such a brazen cover-up. This is the first

Matthew Algeo
Summary
On July 1, 1893, President Grover Cleveland vanished. He boarded a friend's yacht, sailed into the calm blue
waters of Long Island Sound, and--poof!--disappeared. He would not be heard from again for five days. What
happened during those five days, and in the days and weeks that followed, was so incredible that, even when
the truth was finally revealed, many Americans simply would not believe it.
The President Is a Sick Man details an extraordinary but almost unknown chapter in American history: Grover
Cleveland's secret cancer surgery and the brazen political cover-up by a politician whose most memorable quote
was "Tell the truth." When an enterprising reporter named E. J. Edwards exposed the secret operation, Cleveland
denied it. The public believed the "Honest President," and Edwards was dismissed as "a disgrace to journalism."

The Thunder of Angels

The Montgomery Bus Boycott and the People Who Broke the Back of Jim Crow
Donnie Williams, Wayne Greenhaw
Summary
The heroism of those involved in the Montgomery, Alabama, bus boycott is presented here in poignant and
thorough detail. The untold stories of those, both black and white, whose lives were forever changed by the
boycott are shared, along with a chilling glimpse into the world of the white council members who tried to stop
them. In the end, the boycott brought Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. to prominence and improved the lives of all
black Americans. Based on extensive interviews conducted over decades and culled from thousands of exclusive
documents, this behind-the-scenes examination details the history of violence and abuse on the city buses. A
look at Martin Luther King, Jr.'s trial, an examination of how black and white lawyers worked together to overturn
segregation in the courtroom, and even firsthand accounts from the segregationists who bombed the homes of
some of Montgomery's most progressive ministers are included. This fast-moving story reads like a legal thriller

The Trial of Levi Weeks

Or the Manhattan Well Mystery
Estelle Fox Klieger
Summary
In 1799, the murder of a young woman caused a terrific stir in the city of New York. The victim was Gulielma
Sands who, on December 22, left the boardinghouse where she lived, never to return. Her bruised body was
found several days later in the Manhattan Well, a twenty-minute carriage ride from her home.
The accused was Levi Weeks, a fellow boarder who, Miss Sands had claimed, was to marry her the night she
disappeared. Two of the attorneys for the defense were Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton, friends of Ezra
Weeks, a prominent builder and brother of the accused.
The citizens of New York raised an enormous hue and cry over the murder: the body was displayed in the streets
before the trail; mobs shoved their way into the courtroom to see the famous lawyers at work and to get a
glimpse of the accused; and-when the verdict was read-few felt that justice had been done.

Summary
The Iroquois Theater in Chicago, boasting every modern convenience, advertised itself proudly as "absolutely

Theatre in London was the opening production. And leading the troupe of nearly 400 was one of the most
popular comedians of the time, Eddie Foy.
None of the many socialites and journalists who flocked to the shows were aware that city building inspectors
and others had been bribed to certify that the theater was in good shape. In fact, the building was without a
sprinkler system or even basic fire fighting equipment; there was no backstage telephone, fire alarm box, exit
signs, a real asbestos curtain or ushers trained for emergencies.

Summary
A HARROWING NARRATIVE OF A REMARKABLE REAL-LIFE STORY
A stirring and remarkable story, this novel tells the tale of the intertwined life of Dick Williams and Karl Behr who
survived the sinking of the Titanic and went on to have Hall of Fame tennis careers. Two years before they
faced each other in the quarterfinals of the U.S. Nationals - the modern-day U.S. Open - the two men boarded
the infamous ship as strangers. Dick, shy and gangly, was moving to America to pursue a tennis career and
attend Harvard. Karl, a dashing tennis veteran, was chasing after Helen, the love of his life. The two men
remarkably survived the sinking of the great vessel and met aboard the rescue ship Carpathia. But as they
reached the shores of the United States, both men did all they could to distance themselves from the disaster.
An emotional and touching work, this novel brings one of the most extraordinary sports stories to life in literary
New Chapter Press form. This real-life account - with an ending seemingly plucked out of a Hollywood screenplay - weaves the

Harvard's Hidden History
Shin Eun-jung, John Trumpbour
Summary
A critical examination of Harvard's monumental but disconcerting global influence and power, this book examines
aspects of Harvard's history not generally known. The book begins with analysis of Harvard's involvement in the
Salem Witch and Sacco-Vanzetti trials. Similarly disquieting, Harvard provided students as strikebreakers in both
the 1912 Bread and Roses textile workers strike and the 1919 Boston police strike. Harvard administrators and
scientists promoted eugenics in the early 20th century and had a deep impact on Nazi Germany's race theories.
Its contemporary ties to U.S. foreign policy and neoliberalism are also profound. Harvard's management of
Russian economic reform left nightmarish memories, and the university was compelled to pay more than $26
million after the U.S. government sued it. The book also examines Harvard's investment policy for its massive
endowment, its restrictive labor policies, and its devastation of the adjoining Allston-Brighton neighborhood into
PM Press which it is expanding. Harvard's motto is "VERITAS," which means "truth" in Latin, and the author explores...

Vikings in America
Graeme Davis
Summary
When Columbus claimed to have discovered America in 1492, and the Borgia Pope claimed it as a New World for
Catholic Spain, the Vatican started a 500 hundred year conspiracy to conceal the true story of Viking America.
In this groundbreaking new work by the author of The Early English Settlement of Orkney and Shetland, the true
extent of the Viking discovery and colonisation of the eastern seaboard of America is fully examined, taking into
account the new archaeological, linguistic and DNA evidence which supplements the historic account. For four
centuries or more, from their first visits around AD 1000 to the eve of the Columbus voyages, the Vikings

Wanton West
Madams, Money, Murder, and the Wild Women of Montana's Frontier
Lael Morgan
Summary
From the time of the gold rush to the election of the first woman to the U.S. Congress, Wanton West brings to
life the women of the West's wildest region: Montana, famous for its lawlessness, boomtowns, and America's
largest red-light districts. Prostitutes and entrepreneurs--like Chicago Joe, Madame Mustache, and Highkicker-
flocked to Montana to make their own money, gamble, drink, and raise hell just like men. Moralists wrote them off
as "soiled doves," yet a surprising number prospered, flaunting their freedom and banking ten times more than
their "respectable" sisters.
A lively read providing new insights into women's struggle for equality, Wanton West is a refreshingly objective
exploration of a freewheeling society and a re-creation of an unforgettable era in history.

Mohamed Atta & the 9-11 Cover-up in Florida
Daniel Hopsicker
Summary
Investigating the associations of Mohamed Atta and other terrorist pilots in Venice, Florida, as they prepared for
the 9/11 attacks, this work discloses the FBI's massive post-attack cover-up to conceal their knowledge of the
terrorists' activities. Unreported stories including the assassination attempt on President George W. Bush on the
morning of September 11, 2001, and the rampant drug trafficking of the flight school financier are fully
discussed, with attention to the stunning evidence of the CIA's knowledge that hundreds of Arab flight students
were pouring into southwest Florida. This examination of the conspiracy behind the 9/11 investigation and the
CIA complicity in the illegal activities that allowed the known terrorists to continue offers truth behind the
"official" story of the attacks.

The Bay Area’s commune revolution
Summary
In the aftermath of the Vietnam War, a large portion of the population had become disenchanted with the
American way of life that they did not feel they belonged to. While some openly revolted in the streets, others
took to turning away from the mainstream and headed toward a new world. Utopian visions, manifesting
themselves in the form of communes, were aimed at breaking the bonds of capitalism, big business, and the
reigning oligarchy and were popping up throughout the country. The San Francisco Bay Area was the hotbed of
these communes, and from the Height-Ashbury in San Francisco, east to Berkeley's protest hub at Sproul Plaza,

Who Shot JFK?

Robin Ramsay
Summary
An updated edition discusses some startling recent work which seems to lead to an answer to the ultimate
conspiracy theory
After nearly 1000 books, half a dozen journals, two official inquiries, several million pages of declassified
documents, dozens of TV documentaries, and hundreds of websites, is there anything left to say about the
assassination of President John F. Kennedy? Hell, yes. The Kennedy assassination remains both the greatest
whodunit of the post-World War II era and the best route into recent U.S. history. In this short book, taking it
as proved that Lee Harvey Oswald was indeed the patsy he claimed to be before he was murdered, Robin
Ramsay looks at the assassination through the work of the researchers who refused to buy the official cover-up
story that Lee Harvey Oswald was the assassin. He explores the major alternative theories produced by the

Revealing a little-known part of North American history, this lively guide tells the fascinating tale of the
settlement of the St. Lawrence Valley. It also tells of the Montreal and Quebec-based explorers and traders who

a people, this book sheds new light on Quebec's 450-year history--and on the historical forces that lie behind its
two recent efforts to gain independence.

Native Peoples of Mesoamerica and the Andes Under Colonial Rule
David Cahill, Blanca Tovías
Summary
The Spanish conquest and colonization of the Americas dramatically transformed the lives of native peoples in
Mesoamerica and the Andes. This revolutionary and multilayered process varied greatly in its intensity and timing
from region to region, but in all cases radically changed indigenous societies, their values and beliefs. The
encounter between native peoples and the Spanish conquistadors and later settlers was marked by violence and
drastic, epidemic-driven population decline. This dislocatory phase gradually gave way to myriad forms of
accommodation, resistance, and social, cultural and religious hybridity - the colonial heritage of Spanish America.
… The innovative essays in this volume compare the colonial experience of native peoples of the conquered
Aztec, Maya and Inca civilizations, from the sixteenth to the early nineteenth centuries. They highlight their
creative responses to the challenges posed by colonial rule, its institutions, religion, and legal and economic
Sussex Academic Press systems. Interdisciplinary in approach, the essays distil a generation of scholarship and suggest an agend...

Portrait of a Scandal
The Trial of Robert Notman
Elaine Kalman Naves
Summary
In the winter of 1868, a name that Montreal society associated with art, good breeding, and culture became
fodder for scandal mongers. The Notman name, synonymous with fine photography, was suddenly making
headlines featuring the words "abortion" and "suicide." A dozen years earlier, two brothers fled their native
Scotland. They were attracted to Montreal by its reputation for making the fortunes of go-getting Scotsmen.
One was destined for fame, the other for notoriety. William Notman, the older brother, eventually owned the
largest photography business in North America. His subjects ranged from royalty, Governors General, and the
Fathers of Confederation to Sitting Bull and Harriet Beecher Stowe. His studio immortalized the faces and baronial
mansions of the merchant princes of Montreal's legendary Golden Square Mile-the Molsons, Redpaths, Allans, and
Van Hornes. By contrast, Robert, the younger brother, was drawn into a drama which shook up Montreal's polite
Véhicule Press society. After he seduced the beautiful and ambitious Margaret Galbraith, a student at the McGill Normal School,

The Riot that Never Was

The Military Shooting of Three Montrealers in 1832 and the Official Cover-up
James Jackson
Summary
Combining the moral indignation of Émile Zola and the writing talent and historical perspective of Pierre Berton,
this detailed inquiry claims that an 1832 Montreal riot-which allegedly caused British troops to open fire-simply
never happened and that there was no mob when soldiers opened fire, leaving three innocent bystanders dead.
The examination corroborates these assertions with affidavits presented to a packed grand jury that exonerated
the soldiers, officers, and magistrates who called in the troops. Also noteworthy is that the grand jury comprised
a majority of recently arrived English-speaking Protestant farmers, even though the three victims were French
Canadian and Catholic. Most troubling, the author notes, is the fact that historians have not questioned the
official story; but here he attempts to set the record straight.

Who's Afraid of Demergers?

The Straight Goods on Quebec's Megacities
Henry Aubin
Summary
This provocative guide chronicles the fallout after the demerger vote that realigned Quebec into five megacities
and ignited fiery protests across Canada. Written by an experienced local journalist, this work sheds light on a
tempestuous moment in Canadian history by analyzing the false premises and baseless fear-mongering that
underlie the case for saving megacities, the unabashed war on democracy by mayors trying to hang on to their
new empires, and how citizens fighting to reclaim their former towns are injecting new life into languishing
democratic traditions.

State Capitalism and World Revolution

C. L. R. James, Raya Dunayevskaya, Grace Lee Boggs...
Summary
Originally published in 1950, this analysis by three respected activists successfully predicted the future course of
Marxism. Their revolutionary critique of industrial civilization possessed a striking originality that was insular in its
political context and optimistic in its expectations for the working class. They envisioned that the working class
activity would defy trends away from class and social issues and toward the so-called "End of Ideology." Brought
forth in a new edition, this viewpoint and others reveals much, even years later, that challenges Marxist and
other orthodoxies. State Capitalism and World Revolution is the most succinct version of C. L. R. James and his
collaborators general conclusions about industrial culture and is a pioneering critique of Lenin and Trotsky, and a
reclamation of Marx. This edition includes the original preface from Martin Glaberman and a new introduction from
Paul Buhle.

The Che Guevara Myth and the Future of Liberty

Alvaro Vargas Llosa
Summary
Nearly four decades after his death, the legend of Che Guevara has grown worldwide. In this new book, Alvaro
Vargas Llosa separates the myth from the reality of Che's legacy, and shows that Che's ideals were a re-hash of
notions about centralized power that have long been the major source of suffering and misery in the
underdeveloped world. With testimonies from witnesses of Che's actions, Alberto Vargas Llosa's detailed account
of the "real Che" sets the record straight by exposing the delusion at the heart of the Che phenomenon. Vargas
Llosa shows that Che's legacy-making the law subservient to the most powerful, crushing any and all dissent,
and concentrating wealth under the guise of "social equality"-is not the solution to poverty and injustice but is
the core of the problem.
Besides exposing the dark truths of Che's ideology and actions, The Che Guevara Myth and the Future of Liberty

Rise and Fall of an Empire
Summary
Drawing on exclusive access to the cultural treasures of Mexico's National Institute of Anthropology and History
(INAH), this accessible, colorful book tells of the complexity, richness, splendor, and mystery of the Aztec
civilization. The book reflects the latest archaeological knowledge about the Mexican people and provides
exclusive interviews with a range of international experts on Mexican life and culture. Included in the book are
more than 200 color reproductions of treasures from the national museums of Mexico, archival documents, iconic
codices featuring pictograms of Aztec writing, and rare archaeological images from the temples-particularly the
Templo Mayor where human sacrifices were made less than 500 years ago. The story of the Aztecs is
fascinating, dramatic, and ultimately tragic-from its mythic origins, rituals, and ways of life to its tragic
Te Papa Press conquest-and this visually stunning resource reflects the profound heritage of Aztec culture and its continuing
9780987668837 importance at the heart of Mexican life today.

Aztecs & Maya

N. James
Summary
This overview of the whole of Middle America from earliest times to today begins by tracing the first development
of villages and chiefdoms and the role of the Olmecs in unifying the region. The core of the book is devoted to
the gigantic monuments of their successors, including the "City of the Gods" and the pyramids still emerging
among the forests of the Maya. The collapse of these societies 1,000 years ago still baffles archaeologists. The
story continues to cover the Toltecs and the Aztecs, culminating in the cataclysmaic destruction of the Indian
kingdoms and the stubborn but uncertain resurgence of the Middle American tradition today.

City Indians in Spain's American Empire

Urban Indigenous Society in Colonial Mesoamerica and Andean South America, 1530?1810
Dana Velasco Murillo, Mark Lentz, Margarita R. Och...
Summary
Presenting the pioneering histories of urban Indians in early Latin America—a group that composed a majority of
the population in Spanish America’s most important cities—this survey focuses on an important but understudied
segment of colonial society. The volume spans a large swath of the Americas, from Northern Mexico to Peru,
over the course of three centuries. A wide variety of topics are addressed in the chapters, from indigenous
governance and interethnic interactions to migration and identity. Among the individuals examined in the study
are native nobles, chroniclers, textile workers, migrants, widows, orphans, and muleteers. This anthology, the
first of its kind in English, demonstrates the importance of urban Indian contributions to Spanish American
society in the colonial period and beyond.

Exile & the Politics of Exclusion in the Americas

Luis Roniger, James N. Green
Summary
This collection of essays brings together leading experts in the study of exile and expatriation, whose historical
and comparative perspectives enable readers to understand the phenomenon of forced displacement in the
Americas. … Political exile, a major political practice throughout most of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries,
is still an under-researched topic. While ubiquitous and fascinating, with some notable and important exceptions,
until recently it has been conceived as somewhat marginal for the development of these societies, instead being
studied in the framework of traditional concepts and concerns in history and the social sciences. Following
recent developments that highlight the centrality of diasporas and transnational studies, of transience and
relocation, this book proposes that the study of exile should become a topic of central concern, closely related
to basic theoretical problems and controversies on the structure of power, national representation and
transnational displacement. … The editors and contributors approach these issues through a nuanced reading

The Story of Luis de Carvajal and the Mexican Inquisition
Anna Lanyon
Summary
The tale of a Jewish martyr and his sister who died together in Mexico City in 1596 explores his
determination to never lose heart, and to cling to his faith and cultural identity in the face of totalitarian
oppression
It is 1596 and in Mexico the Inquisition is at its most efficient. A young man trembles in his cell as he prays for
salvation, torn between the Christianity he was schooled in and his ancestral faith. What heresies will the Holy
Office uncover? Can he protect his mother and sisters?
He is Luis de Carvajal. His forbears had fled the Inquisition in Spain to Portugal and then from there to the New
World. But the lives they try to rebuild as conversos in Mexico are just as perilous, for the Inquisition is
Allen & Unwin determined to root out heretics throughout its realms. Luis's quest for true faith unfolds a tense and moving

Intellectuals and Left Politics in Uruguay, 1958?2006

Frustrated Dialogue
Stephen Gregory
Summary
Beginning in the year Uruguayans elected a different party into government for the first time in nearly a century,
the author examines intellectuals' role in the Uruguayan left's drive toward unity and effectiveness. Discussion
focuses on fragmentation and impotence on the left; frustrated attempts at left unity in the 1960s; the creation
of the centre-left Broad Front in 1971; and the defeat of all left endeavors and all dialogue in the 1973 military
coup, a prelude to a 12 year dictatorship in which the military substituted themselves for intellectuals. The story
continues in 1985, reversing the earlier trend in a record of dispersal and diversity. The author details the initial
post-authoritarian anarchic cultural outburst-part celebration, part frustration; intellectuals' role in the disputes
that accompanied the Broad Front's move from democratic socialism to social democracy and from opposition to
government in 2004; and recent excursions into the long-standing Uruguayan obsession with its identity and
Sussex Academic Press viability as an independent nation. This book is essential reading for all t...

Power, Culture, and Violence in the Andes

Christine Hunefeldt, Misha Kokotovic
Summary
Scholars from Anthropology, History, and Literary and Cultural Studies present their current research on culture
and violence in the Andean region. Within an interdisciplinary approach, the contributors to this volume explore
the complex and mutually constitutive relationship of culture and violence in Peru and Bolivia, countries with
large indigenous populations who have largely preserved their culture and way of life in spite of centuries of
colonial domination and the encroachment of capitalist modernization, including its latest free-market variant. …
The intertwined histories of culture and violence in the Andes are examined through analyses of the indigenous
and popular mobilization that brought Evo Morales to power as Bolivia's first indigenous president, conservative
Latin American intellectuals' response to this popular rejection of neoliberal economic and social policies, the
work of Peru's Truth and Reconciliation Commission and the legacy of the Shining Path war, and nineteenth-
century intellectual and political discourses on race, gender, and the incorporation of indigen...

Revolutionary Days
A Chronology of the Mexican Revolution
Ray Acosta
Summary
More than a straightforward compendium of people, places, events, and dates involved in the Mexican
Revolution, this reference is designed as a guide to the basic sources, allowing readers to draw upon the best of
modern scholarship on the topic. A complete, chronological listing of the persons and events of the revolution, it
begins with the births of the main personages in the 1800s and continues through the final battle of the
revolution. References are compiled in a clear, concise, chronological order, cutting through the otherwise
overwhelming nature of an event that sprawled across the length and breadth of a country for more than a
decade. While even the most magisterial of works dealing with the revolution are only able to focus on a single
figure, movement, or particular region in the country, this volume ties all the complexity and chaos of the world's
first popular social revolution together, putting historical details at the fingertips of students and scholars.

Shoot the Messenger?

Spanish Democracy and the Crimes of Francoism From the Pact of Silence to the Trial of Baltasar Garzón
Francisco Espinosa-Maestre
Summary
Judge Baltasar Garzón achieved international prestige in 1998 when he pursued the perpetrators of crimes
committed in Argentina against Spanish citizens and began proceedings for the arrest of the Chilean ex-dictator
Augusto Pinochet. But when he transferred his attention to his Spanish homeland he was put on trial for opening
an investigation into crimes committed by Francoists. As result he now (February 2012) finds himself on the point
of being expelled from the judiciary. … The Garzón case is neither so absurd nor so difficult to understand if the
record of the Spanish judiciary is examined through the prism of a series of representative cases since the
transition to democracy. Key is the way the judiciary has dealt with those who have investigated cases of
people murdered by the military rebels from July 1936 onwards. Shoot the Messenger? relates thirteen judicial
cases that took place between 1981 and 2012. They range from the banning of the documentary film Rocío by
Sussex Academic Press Fernando Ruiz Vergara, because it named the person responsible for one of the massacres in southwest Spain, to

The Candelaria Massacre

How Wagner dos Santos Survived the Street Children's Killing that Shook Brazil
Julia Rochester
Summary
Just after midnight, in the early morning of July 23, 1993, a group of men later identified as off-duty policemen
opened fire on a group of street children sleeping rough outside one of Rio de Janeiro's most prominent
landmarks-the Church of Our Lady of the Candelária. The incident became known as the Candelária Massacre
and it roused the people of Rio-the Cariocas-and took them to the streets in protest. Shortly before the
shootings at the church the policemen picked up three boys returning to Candelária from the beach and took
them off in their car to be shot elsewhere. Shot and left for dead, one of them survived. His survival altered the
political landscape. His name is Wagner dos Santos. This is his story. Wagner Santos's intensely tragic, involving,
and fascinating personal history is also a glimpse into the dark complexities and cultural landscape of Rio de
Janeiro, one of the most beautiful and vibrant cities in the world.

The Conquest All Over Again

Nahuas and Zapotecs Thinking, Writing, and Painting Spanish Colonialism
Susan Schroeder
Summary
The Spaniards typically portrayed the conquest and fall of Mexico Tenochtitlan as Armageddon, while native
peoples in colonial Mesoamerica continued to write and paint their histories and lives often without any mention
of the foreigners in their midst. Their accounts took the form of annals, chronicles, religious treatises, tribute
accounts, theatre pieces, and wills. Thousands of documents were produced, almost all of which served to
preserve indigenous ways of doing things. But what provoked record keeping on such a grand scale? At what
point did precontact sacred writing become utilitarian and quotidian? Were their texts documentaries, a form of
boosterism, even ingenious intellectualism, or were they ultimately a literature of ruin? This volume seeks to
address key aspects of indigenous perspectives of the conquest and Spanish colonialism by examining what they
themselves recorded and why they did so.

Thomas More's Magician

A Novel Account of Utopia in Mexico
Toby Green
Summary
In 1532, eleven years after the Spanish conquest, Mexico is in crisis. As the conquistadors discover an earthly
paradise, its peoples and their Gods are being destroyed. This is a time of greed, uncertainty-and idealism.
Despairing of his surroundings, Vasco de Quiroga, a new member of the Spanish ruling council, forges a commune
on Mexico City's outskirts, using Thomas More's book, Utopia, as his blueprint. As Toby Green explores Quiroga's
story, he begins to sense an eerie resonance between Quiroga's age and our own. With vivid reconstructions of
16th-century Spain and Mexico, the narrative becomes an account not only of Quiroga, but also of Utopia as
both an idea and a literary form.

Until the Rulers Obey

Voices from Latin American Social Movements
Clifton Ross, Marcy Rein, Raúl Zibechi
Summary
Bringing together voices from the movements behind the wave of change that swept Latin America at the turn of
the 21st century, this unique collection of interviews features five dozen leaders and grassroots activists from
15 countries, presenting their work and debating pressing questions of power, organizational forms, and relations
with the state. These movements have galvanized long-silent-or silenced-sectors of society: indigenous people,
campesinos, students, the LGBT community, the unemployed, and all those left out of the promised utopia of a
globalized economy. They have deployed a wide range of strategies and actions, sometimes building schools or
clinics, sometimes occupying factories or fields, sometimes organizing political parties to take the reins of the
state, and sometimes resisting government policies in order to protect their new-found power in community. This
indispensable compilation of primary source material is organized in chapters by country, with each chapter

Venezuela Speaks!
Voices from the Grassroots
Carlos Martinez, Michael Fox, JoJo Farrell
Summary
A collection of interviews with activists and other contributors, this compelling oral history details Venezuela's
bloodless uprising and reorganization. For the last decade, Venezuela's "Bolivarian Revolution" has captured
international attention. Poverty, inequality, and unemployment have all dropped, while health, education, and
living standards have seen a commensurate rise-and this chronicle is the real, bottom-up account. The stories
shed light on the complex facets within the revolution, detailing the change in such realities as community media
to land reform, cooperatives to communal councils, and the labor movement to the Afro-Venezuelan network.
Offering a different perspective than that of the international mainstream media, which has focused
predominantly on Venezuela's controversial president, Hugo Chavez, these examples of democracy in action
illustrate the vast cultural, economic, and racial differences within the country-all of which have impacted the

500 Years of Indigenous Resistance (2nd Edition)

Gord Hill
Summary
An alternative and unorthodox view of the colonization of the Americas by Europeans is offered in this concise
history. Eurocentric studies of the conquest of the Americas present colonization as a civilizing force for good,
and the native populations as primitive or worse. Colonization is seen as a mutually beneficial process, in which
"civilization" was brought to the natives who in return shared their land and cultures. The opposing historical
camp views colonization as a form of genocide in which the native populations were passive victims overwhelmed
by European military power. In this fresh examination, an activist and historian of native descent argues that the
colonial powers met resistance from the indigenous inhabitants and that these confrontations shaped the forms
and extent of colonialism. This account encompasses North and South America, the development of nation-
states, and the resurgence of indigenous resistance in the post-World War II era.

Today Is a Good Day to Fight

The Indian Wars and the Conquest of the West
Mark Felton
Summary
Blood, guts, dust, and hatred-this is the real history of the American West, from the initial penetration of the
region by settlers and prospectors in the 1840s through the end of the Indian Wars in the 1890s. It explains the
history of white-Indian conflict from the military point of view, showing how the U.S. used its army to wage
terrible wars of conquest upon Native American peoples in order to take the land from them and enrich the
growing nation, and how the Indians never really stood a chance in trying to defend their homelands. Highlighting
the fractious and bitter relations between tribes unable and unwilling to unite in time to stave off their common
enemy, it tries to portray the utter bitterness of the conflict between white and Indian, and how both sides
resorted to increasingly foul acts of war and slaughter as the conflict progressed. A dirty, underhanded, and
scrappy conflict, the outrages committed by both sides fuelled bitterness and resentment that still exists in
The History Press America today.

The First Jews in North America

The Extraordinary Story of the Hart Family (1760-1860)
Denis Vaugeois, Kathe Roth
Summary
Filled with original documents and vintage illustrations, this history chronicles the lives of the Hart family-a
Jewish family who settled in predominantly Catholic Trois-Rivières, Quebec, in 1761. Following Aaron Hart and his
descendants for a century, this account not only bares the Jewish struggle for equality and freedom, but also
delineates the contributions made by the various family members-including the passing of the Jewish
Emancipation Act in 1832 and the creation of the Hart Memorial Trophy for the National Hockey League's Most
Valuable Player. A fascinating and comprehensive read, this book breaks new ground in its examination of the
Jewish experience in North America.
