Book excerpt: "Walker constructs a compelling narrative that is a string of unusual profiles rather than an analytic account of a major event in American history." - Publishers Weekly The Oregon Country! For a century that fabled place, lying somewhere beyond the Rocky Mountains at the farthest reaches of the continent galvanized the American people. Its riches, in furs, timber, fish, and fecund soil for farming, awakened the avarice of nations. Spain, Great Britain, Russia, and the United States all vied for this trackless Eden of the pacific littoral, and not until the 1840s did the Americans claim it once and for all. In these pages are the explorations of the fierce Scots who scaled the mountains and mapped the rivers of the Oregon country before the time of Lewis and Clark; the imperial fiefdom created for profit and Britannia by the fur-trading ventures of the Hudson's Bay Company; John Jacob Astor's ill-fated experiment on the Columbia River; the mountain men who risked their lives in Indian country in pursuit of beaver furs; and the arrival of the missionaries and pioneers of the Oregon Trail. Pacific Destiny is the Spur Award-winning story for best historical non-fiction, told by a distinguished chronicler of nineteenth century America. A story of the clashing of empires, coveting the matchless wealth of the Pacific Northwest-the story of The Oregon Country. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Download or read book Peaceful War written by Patrick Mendis and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 2013-10-18 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peaceful War is an epic analysis of the unfolding drama between the clashing forces of the Chinese dream and American destiny. Just as the American experiment evolved, Deng Xiaoping’s China has been using “Hamiltonian means to Jeffersonian ends” and borrowed the idea of the American Dream as a model for China’s rise. The Chinese dream, as reinvented by President Xi Jinping, continues Deng’s experiment into the twenty-first century. With a possible “fiscal cliff” in America and a “social cliff” in China, the author revisits the history of Sino-American relations to explore the prospects for a return to the long-forgotten Beijing-Washington love affair launched in the trade-for-peace era. President Barack Obama’s Asia pivot strategy and the new Silk Road plan of President Xi could eventually create a pacific New World Order of peace and prosperity for all. The question is: will China ultimately evolve into a democratic nation by rewriting the American Dream in Chinese characters, and how might this transpire?

Download or read book Islands of Destiny written by John Prados and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Battle of Midway is traditionally held as the point when Allied forces gained advantage over the Japanese. In Islands of Destiny, acclaimed historian and military intelligence expert John Prados points out that the Japanese forces quickly regained strength after Midway and continued their assault undaunted. Taking this surprising fact as the start of his inquiry, he began to investigate how and when the Pacific tide turned in the Allies’ favor. Using archives of WWII intelligence reports from both sides, Prados offers up a compelling reassessment of the true turning in the Pacific: not Midway, but the fight for the Solomon Islands. Combat in the Solomons saw a series of surface naval battles, including one of the key battleship-versus-battleship actions of the war; two major carrier actions; daily air duels, including the aerial ambush in which perished the famous Japanese naval commander Admiral Yamamoto Isoroku; and many other hair-raising exploits. Commencing with the Allied invasion of Guadalcanal, Prados shows how and why the Allies beat Japan on the sea, in the air, and in the jungles.

Download or read book Tanker s Destiny written by Frederick L. Ridgway and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2014-07-16 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the scope of human history nothing stands out like warfare. One nation trying to impose its ideology, political system, or religious beliefs on another. General George Patton said, next to war, all other forms of human endeavor pale in insignificance. For those who have experienced war and survived it, the experience seems to overshadow the other normal highlights of a well lived life. I have found this true in the life of my father and the many veterans I interviewed as I researched this book. A farm boy, a painter, a gas station attendant, ordinary men transported to another continent and thrust into a life and death struggle for the cause of freedom. In war the best and worst of mans nature are exhibited. This is a story of the birth of faith and Gods protection set against the backdrop of World War II. You will follow one soldiers odyssey from home in the Midwest to the end of the war on the Elbe River in Germany. You will experience war from a Sherman tankers perspective facing the seasoned Panzer division of Hitlers armies. These are real combat stories with fictional elements added to fill in the details. This is my fathers story.

Book excerpt: 2021 Readers' Favorite International Book Awards - Honorable Mention for "Your Destiny is Inside You". Every so often, you read a book that knocks you completely off of your feet. For me, that book is “Your Destiny is Inside You”. For centuries, people of all different backgrounds and walks of life have delved into the world of spirituality in one way or another. Whether it was through an organized religion, or the type of spirituality that has you look in on yourself and connect with your consciousness and the world, they are all valid ways of being a spiritual person. But what this book explores goes beyond the norm of all of that and, it is a true treasure for all.(...) The wisdom throughout this book is truly astounding, and the way the author imparts his knowledge onto the readers and teaches them to listen to their heart while letting go of the suffering of their past is truly awe-inspiring. - Pacific Book Review "Your Destiny is Inside You" is a book in which Pat takes the readers on an inspiring spiritual journey, and inspires the awakening of a new state of consciousness based on a deep understanding that everything is energy. He demonstrates how the liberation of the ego-based mind transforms consciousness, opening up a whole new world of positive energy allowing you to stay optimistic in your daily life. The book represents a map that leads to the deepest corners of the unconscious, which helps you achieve your ultimate personal and spiritual development. Pat explains that the world that surrounds us and our inner world are like two wings of one bird. If a bird has one strong wing and the other one is weak, it will never be able to fly. The book is a deeply spiritual manifesto that emanates with undeniable truth, wisdom and spiritual strength. It's an inspiring story about self-discovery. It teaches the wisdom of listening to your own heart. It helps to get rid of suffering and obsessions based on self-limiting beliefs that deprive you of joy, peace and creativity. This is one of THE BEST books that I have ever read. I will be reading this over and over again. - Bonnie B, Reviewer "Your Destiny is Inside You" is one of the few books that have the extraordinary power to create inspiring and motivating thoughts that can radically change the readers' lives.
