As the only systematic investigation of his tenure, this book offers a sympathethic assessment of Andrew Young’s performance as U.S. representative to the UN (1977-1979). Labeled by his critics as "New Left", a "preacher" and a "loose cannon", he is here portrayed more accurately as an American imperialist and chauvinist who wished to export our products, democracy, free enterprise, and civil rights revolution to the rest of the world. This book seeks to correct the many factual errors in published works and presents Young’s style in relation to his achievements. The book begins wi

Keith Waverly is like a lot of other guys, but with one, big difference. He’s on the run. Four dead bodies, several angry Greeks and a charred mansion lie in his wake as he chases a new life in the Sunshhine State. Florida. In the late 1970’s. Where the blood runs as thick as the booze and the drugs, and things don’t always go as you planned. Thomas Sparrow takes Keith Waverly from the pages of his earlier story, "Social Climbing," in his debut book, Northwoods Pulp - Four Tales of Crime and Weirdness, from the gloom of the north woods of Minnesota and Wisconsin

“You can waste a lot of time looking . . . or you can pay me to find it for you.” So goes the slogan of Brodie Farrell’s one-woman detective agency. Although Brodie has made some surprising---and dangerous---discoveries while working as a modern-day treasure hunter, none of them has turned her life upside down in quite the way that her unexpected pregnancy does. The timing is particularly awkward because Brodie has recently separated from her partner, the prickly Detective Superintendent Jack Deacon. To complicate matters further, Detective Inspector Alix Hyde has set her sights on Deaco

The Allied victory at Omaha Beach was a costly one. A direct infantry assault against a defense that was years in the making, undertaken in daylight following a mere thirty-minute bombardment, the attack had neither the advantage of tactical surprise nor that of overwhelming firepower. American forces were forced to improvise under enemy fire, and although they were ultimately victorious, they suffered devastating casualties. Why did the Allies embark on an attack with so many disadvantages? Making extensive use of primary sources, Adrian Lewis traces the development of the doctrine behind th

The relationship between alcoholism and the poetic process has been well established, but the history of heavy-drinking poets in the twentieth century tilts disproportionately toward male writers such as John Berryman, Robert Lowell, or Theodore Roethke. Women poets, however, were just as susceptible to alcohol, and they very often wrote about its effects on their bodies, minds, and lives. In this study, Brett C. Millier looks at the role of drinking in the lives and poetry of American women poets in the first half of the twentieth century. Millier reads the poems of Dorothy Parker, Lou

Henry Kissinger dominated American foreign relations like no other figure in recent history. He negotiated an end to American involvement in the Vietnam War, opened relations with Communist China, and orchestrated detente with the Soviet Union. Yet he is also the man behind the secret bombing of Cambodia and policies leading to the overthrow of Chile’s President Salvador Allende. Which is more accurate, the picture of Kissinger the skilled diplomat or Kissinger the war criminal? In The Flawed Architect, the first major reassessment of Kissinger in over a decade, historian Jussi Hanhimaki
