Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. This volume explores the period encompassing the War of 1812 and its aftermath through 1828, a transformative epoch in early U.S. history. It begins with the causes of the war Britain s naval blockades, impressment of American sailors, and frontier tensions and chronicles key battles such as the defense of the Capitol, the burning of Washington, and Andrew Jackson's rise at New Orleans.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. VERY NICE DARK BLUE COVER, GOLD DESIGN AND PRINT SPINE. FRONTISPIECE A PICTURE OF CARDINAL RICHELIEU. FORMER OWNERS LABEL IN FRONT. TIGHT AND CLEAN THROUGHOUT. FOR THE LOVER OF HISTORY, CATHOLIC HISTORY AND CARDINAL RICHELIEU. 10 CHAPTERS WITH GREAT DETAIL. Armand Jean du Plessis, 1st Duke of Richelieu 9 September 1585 - 4 December 1642), known as Cardinal Richelieu, was a French statesman and prelate of the Catholic Church. He became known as l'Éminence rouge, or "the Red Eminence", a term derived from the title "Eminence" applied to cardinals and from the red robes that they customarily wear. Consecrated a bishop in 1607, Richelieu was appointed Foreign Secretary in 1616. He continued to rise through the hierarchy of both the Catholic Church and the French government, becoming a cardinal in 1622 and chief minister to King Louis XIII of France in 1624. He retained that office until his death in 1642, when he was succeeded by Cardinal Mazarin, whose career he had fostered. Richelieu became engaged in a bitter dispute with Marie de Médici, the king's mother, and formerly his close ally. ANTIQUE BOOKS DEN, WHERE HISTORY LIVES. ILLUSTRATED (illustratore).…
