Download or read book Thomas Paine and the Promise of America written by Harvey J. Kaye and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2007-04-15 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This acclaimed biography “provides the most comprehensive assessment yet of [the Founding Father’s] controversial reputation” (Joseph J. Ellis, The New York Times Book Review). After leaving London for Philadelphia in 1774, Thomas Paine became one of the most influential political writers of the modern world and the greatest radical of a radical age. Through writings like Common Sense, he not only turned America’s colonial rebellion into a revolutionary war but, as Harvey J. Kaye demonstrates, articulated an American identity charged with exceptional purpose and promise. Thomas Paine and the Promise of America fiercely traces the revolutionary spirit that runs through American history—and demonstrates how that spirit is rooted in Paine’s legacy. With passion and wit, Kaye shows how Paine turned Americans into radicals—and how we have remained radicals ever since.

Book excerpt: In the cold, dark summer of 1981, crowds gathering in Britain's streets could mean a royal wedding - or a riot. Margaret Thatcher's government, taking power on a promise of renewal, seemed in catastrophic decline. Britain remained troubled, inward-looking, run down by recession, transfixed by the threat of nuclear war. Yet, within this bleak landscape, something was stirring. Promised You A Miracle is the extraordinary untold story of Britain's revolution in the head- a shift in mass consciousness in which an old, self-doubting nation was transformed into something else- outward-looking, materialistic, colourful, lonely and cruel. In the early eighties, a new world was messily brought into being- a miner's son transformed the rubble-strewn flatness of London's docklands into a new city centre of high rise and high finance; austere post-punk bands abandoned their leftwing politics and grey overcoats for glossy transatlantic careers; a loose-tongued, PR-savvy young socialist seized London's city hall; and a small start-up in west Yorkshire, in the middle of the Falklands war, made a gadget the size of a gold bar that stopped the British task force from being blown apart. Leading us into these years of brittle optimism and upheaval, Andy Beckett asks why Britain changed so rapidly and fundamentally; what it felt like to be part of this convulsive change - or to be left behind; and how people were swept up in it, sometimes without realising. Yet the effects of this revolution would ripple outwards, across the world - and we are still living with the consequences, happily or otherwise.

Download or read book Thank You America Americans written by Armen Saginian and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2022-07-18 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why this appraisal In the framework of an autobiography? I am a naturalized American citizen. I am what I am, and I became what I became because of you, you the wonderful American people. You dear Americans, who have created this wonderful and benevolent country through your hard work. No other nation, to date, can claim that they have done more or better than you have in such a short time. I am giving you my thanks, my appreciations, my respects, my love and devotion to you and your work, aspirations, and ideals. I am doing this in a try to nullify the vicious attempts of modern-day Trotsky(s) and their clones, who are trying to tear down what you have built, because they cannot match you or your work, or outdo you. In my Addendums, I have selectively expressed my heartfelt gratitude to those who had the most effect on my life, but the list of those who, in one way or another, affected my life will probably make a book as thick as this one. The majority of them are Americans. My dear and benevolent people who have helped me, and others like me, millions of us, be proud of who you are and what you have done. You have always torn down what was useless, and have replaced it with something more useful. For the sake of the future of this nation, and the salvation of mankind, don't give anything free to anyone. Don't give anyone free fish to feed on, teach them how to fish to live on. May the intelligent energy be with you.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the third volume of the Quinn family saga, Ansel Quinn is caught in an international scandal with reverberations across two world wars. In 1916, the world waits with bated breath to see if the United States will enter the Great War raging in Europe. Meanwhile, President Wilson campaigns for reelection on his record of keeping America out of the fray. Caught in the middle is Maj. Ansel Quinn of Mississippi, assigned to the French army headquarters in Paris as a neutral observer. At home, Ansel’s wife, Isabel, has been left to manage the family’s cotton plantation in Mississippi as well as their sugar plantation in Cuba. It is a trial to be without her husband, but only the beginning of the hardships she will face. When Ansel is wounded on the frontlines of the Somme—far from where any neutral observer should be—it sets off international intrigue that could change the course of history. In No Promise for Tomorrow, the Quinn family struggles across the decades between World War I and World War II—a period that includes the influenza epidemic, the Roaring Twenties, prohibition, and the Great Depression.

Download or read book A World Apart written by Gretta Curran Browne and published by Eighty-Eight Publications. This book was released on with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A WORLD APART: An Epic Novel From Ireland's Past - The Michael Dwyer Story continues... - (Book 3 of THE LIBERTY TRILOGY) **** They thought they had killed him – on the same winter night his friend Sam McAllister had been shot dead on the hillside of Derrynamuck – they had chased Michael and seen a trail of his blood in the snow. Oh yes, the young rebel captain was dead and gone, and would cause no further trouble to them – the hated militia who raped and burned houses at will and treated the people of Wicklow like some dirt that kept getting under their boots. Desperate for his protection from the militia’s brutality, only the people refused to believe that Michael Dwyer was dead. To them he was like a prince – `aye, a prince, same as a king’s son’ – and if Michael had been killed, all his friends would have been in mourning, but they were not. Too many times they had seen the small, secret smiles of Michael’s friends when the militia gloated over his death. And then there was Mary – his beautiful Mary who had adored him – why was she not looking in any way heart-broken? Why was she just carrying on with her life as normal? No, the people concluded, Michael was not dead – injured maybe, a whole lot of bullets had flown towards him that night at Derrynamuck – but he had been dodging bullets for years and not one had ever reached him. No, only the stupid militia would believe that Michael had been defeated – the whole dumb pack of them. **** In her historical `faction’ novels, Gretta Curran Browne tells the story of actual people and actual events and, apart from using a few minor fictional characters, she does not change history or distort the true stories of the worthy people she has “reclaimed” from history to bring to a present-day audience. When first published in hardback, Tread Softly On My Dreams and Fire On The Hill were bought by the University of Notre Dame in the USA, The National Library of Ireland, and The Princess Grace Irish Library in the Palace of Monaco.
