Synopsis

The War Record of the Fifth Company, New England Regiment, Second Plattsburg Training Camp is a poignant chronicle that offers a multifaceted perspective on military life during a pivotal period in American history. Written with a blend of narrative immediacy and reflective depth, the book combines firsthand accounts, official reports, and personal anecdotes from soldiers who trained at Plattsburg. This literary work stands as a testament to the camaraderie and struggles of young men preparing for the profound challenges of World War I, making it a crucial document for understanding the human experience of war beyond the battlefield. The anonymity of the author adds layers of intrigue, suggesting that he may have been directly involved in the activities described within the record. This perspective is significant, as it reflects the collective voice of those who served, inviting readers to engage deeply with the emotional landscape of a generation faced with unprecedented circumstances. The author's commitment to capturing the essence of life in the training camp illuminates important societal and military themes of camaraderie, duty, and sacrifice. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in military history, social dynamics during times of conflict, or the nuances of coming-of-age narratives in extreme situations. The War Record serves not only as an important historical document but also as a compelling exploration of resilience and purpose in the face of adversity.

    The Book of Daniel is a 2nd-century BC biblical apocalypse with a 6th century BC setting. Ostensibly "an account of the activities and visions of Daniel, a noble Jew exiled at Babylon", it combines a prophecy of history with an eschatology (a portrayal of end times) both cosmic in scope and political in focus, and its message is that just as the God of Israel saves Daniel from his enemies, so he would save all Israel in their present oppression.

    Journalist Shomari Wills’s great-great-uncle, John Mott Drew, was a millionaire. His father had been a slave, and his story made Shomari realize that African Americans’ early achievements are often little known. At the time, it was revolutionary for an African American to become rich. In Black Fortunes (2018), Shomari tells the success stories of America’s first black millionaires, including Mary Ellen Pleasant, Robert Reed Church, O.W. Gurley, Hannah Elias, Annie Turnbo Malone, and Madam C.J. Walker. They were often attacked and demonized for their race and achievements, but this did not stop them from securing their legacy. They built towns, cultures, and helped change the course of history for black people.

    The Legacy of the Roman Empire

    The rise of Rome is one of the most remarkable stories in world history, transforming from a small settlement on the banks of the Tiber River into one of the most powerful empires the world has ever seen. The foundation of Rome is traditionally dated to 753 BCE, attributed to the legendary figure Romulus. Over time, Rome evolved through three major phases: the monarchy, the republic, and the empire, each contributing to its dominance. The city's location played a crucial role in its growth, offering natural protection, fertile land, and access to trade routes that facilitated economic and military expansion. 
    During the period of the Roman Kingdom, Rome was ruled by a series of kings, who laid the groundwork for its legal and social structures. However, dissatisfaction with monarchical rule led to the establishment of the Roman Republic in 509 BCE. This new form of government introduced a complex system of checks and balances, with power divided among elected officials, including consuls, senators, and popular assemblies. The republic was built on the idea of civic duty and military service, which helped unify its citizens under a shared sense of identity. It was during this time that Rome expanded its influence, conquering neighboring territories through strategic military campaigns. The Roman legions, known for their discipline and tactical superiority, played a key role in these conquests. 
    Rome’s transition from a republic to an empire was marked by internal conflicts and power struggles. As Rome’s territories expanded, so did the challenges of governance. The late republic saw growing economic inequality, political corruption, and civil wars between powerful leaders. Figures like Julius Caesar, Pompey, and Crassus sought control, leading to the eventual downfall of the republic. The assassination of Caesar in 44 BCE created further instability, but it ultimately paved the way for the rise of Augustus, who became the first emperor in 27 BCE.

    Blame Not the Wind: A tragedy at...

    "Very occasionally a tragedy turns into a triumph. This wonderful, searing book is such a moment. Rush to read it & be thankful." – Miriam Margolyes 
    Last night Ben phoned from Bermuda, collect as usual. I’d asked – though heaven knows why as we avoid soppy talk – if he still loved me.  
    He had said, ‘Course I do.’ 
    He would be home for a visit once the race was over. He could not say exactly when but would keep in touch. 
    It is early June: the third day of June, to be precise, and a day I will never forget. Something feels wrong. Better get up. 
    Shirley’s sixth sense was all too real: tragedy had struck Ben’s ship, Marques. 
    The government announced that it was a ‘freak accident’. 
    But something did not add up. 
    On 2 June 1984 the British-registered tall ship Marques left Bermuda Harbour, cheered on by watching crowds. With other sailing vessels from across the world, the barque was heading for Halifax, Nova Scotia, having won the first leg of the internationally famous Tall Ships Race. As they sailed out to sea, there was not a cloud in the sky. But by midnight the weather had changed and the seas became violent. 
    Just 80 miles from Bermuda, things took a turn for the worse – the ship lurched and water poured in through the wide-open hatches. In 40 seconds the Marques had vanished. Of the 28 people on board, 19 were lost: crew and passengers, hailing from Britain, Canada, the US and the Caribbean. Among the missing was Shirley Cooklin’s 18-year-old son Ben. 
    Driven to seek answers, Shirley finds only dead ends and denials. She begins to wonder – what if this was not a freak accident caused by the wind? What if the tragedy was the result of a gross act of negligence? And why is the Thatcher government so interested in the incident? 
    This is the riveting true story of one mother’s lifelong search for justice. 
    In her memoir, Cooklin navigates the turbulent waters of maritime law and political history. Her quest for justice in the face of corruption and misconduct makes this autobiography a compelling addition to any non-fiction collection.
