In 1798, for the first time since the Crusades, Western armies landed in the Middle East, initiating a confrontation with far~reaching implications, The French, infused with the fire of revolution and republicanism, and imbued with the idealism of the Enlightenment, set out for glory and riches. Their invasion of Egypt, a rebellious province of the sprawling Ottoman Empire, also aimed to weaken British communications with India. They were led by an ambitious and charismatic young general, Napoleon Bonaparte. Shedding new light on the ensuing events, acclaimed historian Juan Cole tells this stirring story through the experiences of soldiers and observers on both sides of the conflict~giving full voice to Muslim points of view. He highlights the mutual incomprehension and the attempts to understand the opportunities and limits of exchange between the two branches of Mediterranean civilization. Beyond detailing the machinations of the French high command, Cole paints a vivid tableau of personal encounters. French scientists seeking to increase their knowledge in a new landscape. French soldiers pursuing romantic dalliances across cultures; and peasants and tribesmen launching determined insurrections. From the unprecedented intellectual challenge for Muslim religious figures to the new public roles adopted by Egyptian women, Napoleon's impact went beyond the battlefield and still resonates in modern relations between the West and the Middle East.

"James Bovard,~ says ~ 'The war on terrorism is the first political growth industry of the new Millennium.' In Terrorism and Tyranny, Bovard casts ~ jaundiced eye on Washington and the motives behind protecting "the homeland" and starting a controversial, unprovoked war with Iraq. Do you think that you're safer now that the Federal Government has a Homeland Security czar? Think that your civil liberties and privacy are still intact? Think again on both counts. For Bovard, the Bush administration's war on terror all comes down to a trampling of personal liberty that is more effective in winning elections than it is in protecting Americans. From airport security follies that protect no one to increased surveillance of individuals in their public and private lives to the dishonest, abusive roundup of detainees, the war on terrorism is taking a toll on individual liberty, and no one tells the whole grisly story better than James Bovard. In these increasingly dangerous times, it's good to know that someone is keeping an eye on Washington while Washington is, increasingly, keeping an eye on us. ".

Cloth. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. First Edition. Alexander "Sandy" Keith was one of the most devious criminals of the nineteenth century, orchestrating the most infamous terrorist plots of the Civil War. But after the war, dogged by creditors and victims of his frauds, Keith kept on the move, leaving a trail of scams, schemes, and cheated women in his wake. Finally, in 1875, while posing as an American businessman in Germany, he detonated a bomb on a dock, killing eighty people and injuring fifty. Larabee's prose deftly moves between thriller, biography, and historical account to highlight the "Crime of the Century" as a desperate last act of a power-obsessed criminal. Included are photographs, endnotes, a selected bibliography, and an index. This copy is clean and solid.
