Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Part of A Dry Hypocrisy Series-forgotten true stories of power, privilege, and unequal enforcement in Prohibition-era Washington. The Nineteenth Amendment opened the door. Alice Mary Robertson entered carrying contradictions that would define her place in history.Elected to Congress in 1920, Robertson became only the second woman to serve in the United States House of Representatives, and the first elected after women secured the constitutional right to vote. She would also become the first woman to preside over a House session.Yet Robertson resisted much of the organized women's movement that made her election imaginable.She championed soldiers and veterans while opposing the veterans' bonus. She built a career serving Native communities while participating in institutions shaped by assimilation and federal paternalism. She distrusted dependency while relying upon patronage, appointments, and public institutions throughout her own remarkable life.Meanwhile, the same Capitol that celebrated her historic presence remained marked by another contradiction: lawmakers publicly defended Prohibition while an illegal liquor trade operated within their institutional world.The Petticoat Politician: Alice Mary Robertson, Congress, and the Politics of Contradiction, follows Robertson from missionary work and public service to Congress, electoral defeat, hospital employment, and an ending far removed from the national attention that once surrounded her.This is neither a simple celebration nor a modern indictment. It is the gripping story of a pioneering woman whose achievements and limitations existed side by side.She opened a door without embracing the movement behind it and became a symbol of progress who refused to fit comfortably within its meaning.Book Four of A Dry Hypocrisy Series.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Part of A Dry Hypocrisy Series.forgotten true stories of power, privilege, and unequal enforcement in Prohibition-era Washington.Congress wrote America's dry laws. George Cassiday delivered their liquor.For nearly a decade, a quiet World War I veteran carried briefcases filled with illegal alcohol through the guarded corridors of the United States Capitol. His customers occupied some of the most powerful offices in Washington. The lawmakers who publicly defended Prohibition depended upon discretion, privilege, and a supplier who understood that silence was part of the service.Then came the green hat.After his 1925 arrest made him nationally recognizable, Cassiday moved his operation from the House side of the Capitol to the Senate. A raid on his home uncovered hundreds of quarts of premium liquor. His final arrest in 1930 ended the deliveries-but opened the door to something far more dangerous.In a sensational six-part newspaper exposé, Cassiday revealed how extensively congressional demand had sustained the illegal trade. He protected individual names while exposing the institution that had protected them.The Man in the Green Hat reconstructs the documented rise, survival, and collapse of one of Washington's most extraordinary Prohibition-era operations. It is the story of an unlikely historical witness who exposed the distance between the laws Congress enacted and the private conduct it concealed.Six articles. One green hat. A decade of hypocrisy brought into the light.Book One of A Dry Hypocrisy Series.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Part of A Dry Hypocrisy Series.forgotten true stories of power, privilege, and unequal enforcement in Prohibition-era Washington. Who polices the lawmakers when privilege stands on the other side of the door During Prohibition, the United States Capitol was both a symbol of national law and the workplace of officials who quietly violated it. Through its entrances moved senators, representatives, employees, visitors and George Cassiday; the bootlegger whose familiar face and carefully managed deliveries became part of congressional routine.Guarding this contradictory world was the United States Capitol Police.The Precinct on the Hill: Policing Congress, Prohibition, and the Man in the Green Hat, examines the institution caught between public law and legislative privilege. Officers were expected to protect Congress, preserve order, recognize familiar faces, and respond to threats. But what happened when the protected institution became the setting of the violation Cassiday's 1925 arrest, his move from the House to the Senate side, the undercover operation that penetrated his network, and his final 1930 capture reveal a fragmented enforcement system in which familiarity could become camouflage and jurisdiction could become shelter.This is not a tale of a fictional police conspiracy. It is a true, documented, examination of institutional boundaries, divided authority, selective visibility, and the dangerous distance between guarding a government and holding it accountable.The officers remained at their posts. The doors remained guarded. Yet for years, the illegal trade moved through the corridors they protected.Book Three of A Dry Hypocrisy Series.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Part of A Dry Hypocrisy Series.forgotten true stories of power, privilege, and unequal enforcement in Prohibition-era Washington. He helped turn Prohibition into a moral crusade. Then the crusade turned upon him.Bishop James Cannon Jr. was one of the most formidable religious political organizers of his generation. From church pulpits and temperance platforms, he presented alcohol as more than a social danger. It was a test of faith, citizenship, discipline, and national character.His influence reached far beyond the church.Cannon built alliances, mobilized voters, challenged political parties, and helped transform religious conviction into national power. But as Prohibition weakened, questions surrounding political money, personal conduct, and institutional accountability threatened the authority upon which his movement depended.Investigations followed. Church proceedings tested his standing. Federal prosecutors brought him to trial. Cannon was ultimately acquitted, but legal vindication could not fully restore the moral certainty that had once made him powerful.The Holy War: Bishop James Cannon Jr., Prohibition, and the Collapse of Moral Power, examines the rise of a crusader, the machinery behind his influence, and the devastating consequences that followed when public righteousness collided with suspicion and scandal.This is not a story of proven guilt. It is the more complicated story of collapsing credibility-and of a reform movement forced to confront whether its leaders could survive the standards they imposed upon everyone else.When morality becomes political power, who holds the moralists accountable Book Two of A Dry Hypocrisy Series.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - One child's death exposed a city already at war with itself. On July 27, 1919, Black teenager Eugene Williams drowned after stones were thrown toward a raft near the unofficial color line at a Lake Michigan beach. When police refused to arrest the man accused, grief became fury. The City at War follows Chicago through the violence that came next: street clashes, attacks by white athletic clubs, block-by-block defense, unequal policing, food shortages, fires, and the arrival of the Illinois National Guard. Beneath the fighting lay older conflicts over housing, labor, migration, political machines, and the boundaries enforced around the Black Belt. Centering families, veterans, nurses, organizers, and survivors, Nicolas De Lacroix shows how a city's geography became a weapon. This narrative history restores the people behind the casualty totals and explains why the boundary remained after the streets grew quiet. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - At West Point, Benjamin O. Davis Jr. endured four years of deliberate silence. In the skies over Europe, he helped force a nation to listen.As the son of America's first Black general, Davis entered the United States Military Academy carrying both a family legacy and the expectations of an entire community. White cadets refused to speak to him outside official duties, room with him, or welcome him into academy life. Davis survived the isolation, graduated in 1936, and emerged with an extraordinary capacity for disciplined command.When the Army began training Black military pilots at Tuskegee, Davis became one of the program's earliest leaders. He commanded the 99th Fighter Squadron in North Africa and later the 332nd Fighter Group-the celebrated Red Tails-during combat operations over Europe. Their performance challenged the reports, assumptions, and policies used to justify military segregation.From Silence to the Skies follows Davis from his isolated West Point room to Tuskegee, combat command, the integration of the armed forces, and senior leadership in the United States Air Force. Illustrated with historically grounded scenes, archival materials, maps, and military documents, this is the story of a man who transformed enforced silence into decisive leadership-and ultimately earned a fourth star.…
