Rhodenhamel retells the familiar story of Abraham Lincoln's assassination, but with a twist or at least another view about the motives of it. John Wilkes Booth motives for assassinating Lincoln have never been fully understood or explained . This novel shows how the more Lincoln fought for civil rights, the more Booth's anger towards Lincoln grew. The point of view from this story is that Lincoln's assassination was a result of emancipation and racism. Other motivations are explored, but debunked. This is the first book to name white supremacy as a motive for Lincoln's assassination and the author just may have a case about it. Well written, well researched, well done! Highly recommend!… (meer)

"The American Revolution: Writings from the War of Independence", brings the American Revolution to life. The daily life of many of the participants is told. An excellent collection of journals, proclamations, speeches, letters and correspondence of the famous characters and the not so famous, involved in this conflict. The daily life of soldiers, officers, citizens and prisoners of war, on both sides is detailed. The horrors of this war were not less than those of modern warfare. The weapons were as deadly as 20th and 21st century weapons, but perhaps less efficient. The suffering just as real. A long book, but an easy read as the writings make "chapters" that lend themselves to good break points to stop and return to the book. A fascinating compilation of writings on the struggle to make America.… (meer)

Immerse yourself in the American Revolution by reading letters and eye-witness accounts from the combatants and civilians, merchants and farmers, men and women who endured it. A great reading experience.
