Product Description:
On April 14, 1861, following the surrender of Fort Sumter, Washington was "put into the condition of a siege," declared Abraham Lincoln. Located sixty miles south of the Mason-Dixon Line, the nation's capital was surrounded by the slave states of Maryland and Virginia. With no fortifications and only a handful of trained soldiers, Washington was an ideal target for the Confederacy. The South echoed with cries of "On to Washington!" and Jefferson Davis's wife sent out cards inviting her friends to a reception at the White House on May 1. Lincoln issued an emergency proclamation on April 15, calling for 75,000 troops to suppress the rebellion and protect the capital. One question now transfixed the nation: whose forces would reach Washington first-Northern defenders or Southern attackers? For 12 days, the city's fate hung in the balance. Washington was entirely isolated from the North-without trains, telegraph, or mail. Sandbags were stacked around major landmarks, and the unfinished Capitol was transformed into a barracks, with volunteer troops camping out in the House and Senate chambers. Meanwhile, Maryland secessionists blocked the passage of Union reinforcements trying to reach Washington, and a rumored force of 20,000 Confederate soldiers lay in wait just across the Potomac River. Drawing on firsthand accounts, The Siege of Washington tells this story from the perspective of leading officials, residents trapped inside the city, Confederates plotting to seize it, and Union troops racing to save it, capturing with brilliance and immediacy the precarious first days of the Civil War. |

A time when an eternal war fought for misbegotten motives and fueled by a continuous stream of some of the most outrageous lies ever fed to a people by its leadership over the previous eight years continues to gut an entire generation. A time when the old values, the old expectations, the old imperatives are knocked flat. <br /><br />Seen through the eyes of 21 year old college senior John Cassell, always out of money and soon to be out of college, it is a saga of coming of age at a time when the younger generation accepted very little of the old yardsticks and Thou-Shalt-Nots which traditionally helped that process along. <br /><br />Based on a true story, and the stories of others, the book follows the young man into the year 1969 as he struggles with the decisions expected of him by elders and demanded of him by life.</TD></TR></TABLE></TD></TR></TABLE><TABLE WIDTH="100%" COLS=1 CELLPADDING=0 CELLSPACING=0 RULES=NONE BORDER=1><TR><TD><TABLE WIDTH="100%" COLS=1 CELLPADDING=3 CELLSPACING=0 RULES=NONE BORDER=0 BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF"><TR><TD ALIGN="LEFT"><H3 ALIGN="CENTER"><A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/Unbroken-World-Survival-Resilience-Redemption/dp/1400064163%3FSubscriptionId%3D1PBBW85R76PQTM62KDG2%26tag%3Danswers2000limit%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D1400064163" onmouseover="window.status='Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption';return true;" onmouseout="window.status='';return true;" TARGET="_top">Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption</A></H3></TD></TR></TABLE><TABLE WIDTH="100%" COLS=2 CELLPADDING=5 CELLSPACING=0 RULES=NONE BORDER=0 BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF"><TR><TD WIDTH="50%" VALIGN="TOP" ALIGN="LEFT" CLASS="smatext">By Laura Hillenbrand<BR><BR>Random House<BR>Released: 2010-11-16<BR>Hardcover (496 pages)<BR><BR><CENTER><A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/Unbroken-World-Survival-Resilience-Redemption/dp/1400064163%3FSubscriptionId%3D1PBBW85R76PQTM62KDG2%26tag%3Danswers2000limit%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D1400064163" onmouseover="window.status='Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption';return true;" onmouseout="window.status='';return true;" TARGET="_top"><IMG SRC="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/517gOImApNL._SL160_.jpg" WIDTH="105" HEIGHT="160" BORDER="0" ALT="Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption"></A></CENTER></TD><TD WIDTH="50%" VALIGN="TOP" ALIGN="CENTER" CLASS="smatext">List Price: $27.00<SUP>*</SUP><BR>Lowest New Price: <B>$11.30</B><SUP>*</SUP><BR>Lowest Used Price: $7.99<SUP>*</SUP><BR>Usually ships in 24 hours<SUP>*</SUP><BR><SUP>*</SUP><SMALL>(As of 07:51 Pacific 6 Feb 2012 <A HREF="javascript:alert('Product prices and availability are accurate as of the date/time indicated and are subject to change.

Then, on the ocean surface, a face appeared. It was that of a young lieutenant, the plane’s bombardier, who was struggling to a life raft and pulling himself aboard. So began one of the most extraordinary odysseys of the Second World War.<br><br>The lieutenant’s name was Louis Zamperini. In boyhood, he’d been a cunning and incorrigible delinquent, breaking into houses, brawling, and fleeing his home to ride the rails. As a teenager, he had channeled his defiance into running, discovering a prodigious talent that had carried him to the Berlin Olympics and within sight of the four-minute mile. But when war had come, the athlete had become an airman, embarking on a journey that led to his doomed flight, a tiny raft, and a drift into the unknown.<br><br>Ahead of Zamperini lay thousands of miles of open ocean, leaping sharks, a foundering raft, thirst and starvation, enemy aircraft, and, beyond, a trial even greater. Driven to the limits of endurance, Zamperini would answer desperation with ingenuity; suffering with hope, resolve, and humor; brutality with rebellion. His fate, whether triumph or tragedy, would be suspended on the fraying wire of his will.<br><br>In her long-awaited new book, Laura Hillenbrand writes with the same rich and vivid narrative voice she displayed in <i>Seabiscuit</i>. Telling an unforgettable story of a man’s journey into extremity, Unbroken is a testament to the resilience of the human mind, body, and spirit.</TD></TR></TABLE></TD></TR></TABLE><TABLE WIDTH="100%" COLS=1 CELLPADDING=0 CELLSPACING=0 RULES=NONE BORDER=1><TR><TD><TABLE WIDTH="100%" COLS=1 CELLPADDING=3 CELLSPACING=0 RULES=NONE BORDER=0 BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF"><TR><TD ALIGN="LEFT"><H3 ALIGN="CENTER"><A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/Adventures-Sherlock-Holmes-Arthur-1859-1930/dp/1175420492%3FSubscriptionId%3D1PBBW85R76PQTM62KDG2%26tag%3Danswers2000limit%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D1175420492" onmouseover="window.status='The Adventures Of Sherlock Holmes';return true;" onmouseout="window.status='';return true;" TARGET="_top">The Adventures Of Sherlock Holmes</A></H3></TD></TR></TABLE><TABLE WIDTH="100%" COLS=2 CELLPADDING=5 CELLSPACING=0 RULES=NONE BORDER=0 BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF"><TR><TD WIDTH="50%" VALIGN="TOP" ALIGN="LEFT" CLASS="smatext">Nabu Press<BR>Paperback (330 pages)<BR><BR><CENTER><A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/Adventures-Sherlock-Holmes-Arthur-1859-1930/dp/1175420492%3FSubscriptionId%3D1PBBW85R76PQTM62KDG2%26tag%3Danswers2000limit%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D1175420492" onmouseover="window.status='The Adventures Of Sherlock Holmes';return true;" onmouseout="window.status='';return true;" TARGET="_top"><IMG SRC="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51RlcEEFXdL._SL160_.jpg" WIDTH="123" HEIGHT="160" BORDER="0" ALT="The Adventures Of Sherlock Holmes"></A></CENTER></TD><TD WIDTH="50%" VALIGN="TOP" ALIGN="CENTER" CLASS="smatext">List Price: $31.75<SUP>*</SUP><BR>Lowest New Price: <B>$18.55</B><SUP>*</SUP><BR>Lowest Used Price: $22.30<SUP>*</SUP><BR>Usually ships in 24 hours<SUP>*</SUP><BR><SUP>*</SUP><SMALL>(As of 07:51 Pacific 6 Feb 2012 <A HREF="javascript:alert('Product prices and availability are accurate as of the date/time indicated and are subject to change.

It follows the lives and interactions of several French characters over a seventeen-year period in the early 19th century, starting in 1815 and culminating in the 1832 June Rebellion.<br><br>The novel focuses on the struggles of ex-convict Jean Valjean and his experience of redemption. It examines the nature of law and grace, and expounds upon the history of France, architecture of Paris, politics, moral philosophy, antimonarchism, justice, religion, and the types and nature of romantic and familial love. The story is historical fiction because it contains factual and historic events.

The Art of War has long been considered not only a military classic, but a classic book in general. Sun Tzus treatise on various aspects and components of wartime strategy is highly recommended for insight into the Eastern mindset and military planning. It also can apply to business, legal and educational situations as well.</TD></TR></TABLE></TD></TR></TABLE><BR><HR><BR><CENTER><BIG><B>More Links</B><BR><A HREF="http://www.wildcomputer.com/books.php">More Books</A> <A HREF="http://www.magazinefocus.com/">Magazines</A></BIG></CENTER>
