Hardback. Condizione: Good. The first Thanksgiving wasnt celebrated with turkey (there werent any in Massachusetts) and didnt take place in 1621. Indeed the settlers, who probably didnt think of themselves as Pilgrims and were most certainly not revolutionaries against their king, were lucky not to be wiped out during their first winter. They probably would have been had the local Indian population not been affected even worse by disease and starvation. In this fascinating history of Americas favorite creation myth, peppered with delightful and unexpected insights, Godfrey Hodgson throws new light on the radicalism of the so-called Pilgrims, the financing of their trip, the state of the Indian tribes that they encountered when they landed and the reasons why Plymouth probably didnt have a rock.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. In 1963, Martin Luther King led 250,000 followers to the Lincoln Memorial in Washington and began to tell the assembled mass of all races and creeds of his vision of the future, I have a dream. The following year the Civil Rights Act became law, and then the Voting Rights Act, but as effectiveness of peaceful demonstration was called into question by activists demanding more militant action, he turned to a wider front, attacking the Vietnam war, and the conditions of the poor generally. Increasingly controversial and criticized by some for his milder tactics, in April 1968 he was assassinated by James Earl Ray.…

Hardback. Condizione: Very Good. The importance of Colonel Edward M. House in twentieth-century American foreign policy is enormous: from 1913 to 1919 he served not only as intimate friend and chief political adviser to President Woodrow Wilson but also as national security adviser and senior diplomat. Yet the relationship between House and the President ended in a quarrel at the Paris peace conference of 1919 - largely because of Mrs. Wilson's hostility to House - and House has received little sympathetic historical attention since. This extensively researched book reintroduces House and clearly establishes his contributions as one of the greatest American diplomats. A 'kingmaker' in Texas politics, House joined Wilson's campaign in 1912 and soon was travelling through Europe as the President's secret agent. He visited Europe repeatedly during World War I and played a major part in drafting Wilson's Fourteen Points and the Covenant of the League of Nations. He tried to stop the war before it began, and to end it by negotiation after it had started. His greatest achievement was to lock both sides into an armistice based on American ideals.…
