  War to the Knife - Bleeding...

  This history shines a light on America’s “first civil war”: the bloody conflict in Kansas Territory between abolitionists and proslavery extremists. Long before the secession crisis at Fort Sumter ignited the War between the States, men fought and died on the prairies of Kansas over the incendiary issue of slavery. The bitter conflict was described in the Atchison Squatter Sovereign newspaper as “war to the knife and knife to the hilt.”  In 1854 a shooting war developed between proslavery men from Missouri and free-staters in Kansas over control of the territory. The prize was whether Kansas would become a slave or a free state when admitted to the Union, a question that could decide the balance of power in Washington.  War to the Knife is an absorbing account of this bloody episode in our nation's past, told in the unforgettable words of the men and women involved: Robert E. Lee, William Tecumseh Sherman, Sara Robinson, Jeb Stuart, Abraham Lincoln, William F. Cody, and John Brown—the abolitionist who was hailed by some as a prophet, and denounced as a madman by others.

  ""One of the most brilliant thought leaders I have been able to share space with.""—Jonathan van Ness, from the foreword 
  ""The must-read memoir of fall 2023.""—Them 
  ""Powerful and vital.""—Madeline Miller, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of The Song of Achilles 
  From a celebrated activist on the forefront of fighting for intersex representation and rights—and a subject of the forthcoming documentary Every Body, from the filmmakers behind RBG—a funny, thought-provoking collection of essays about owning your identity and living your truth. 
  Two percent of the world’s population—the same percentage of humans who have naturally red hair—is born intersex. Yet many people aren’t even familiar with the word. 
  Intersex individuals are born with both male and female reproductive organs, yet many are stripped of their identity at birth when a parent designates M or F on a birth certificate. That subjective choice is often followed by invasive, life-changing surgeries, performed without the individual’s consent. Intersex people have become a target of politicians, attacked for who they are and threatened by legislation that attempts to categorize and define them. 
  Alicia Weigel is fighting back against the hate and fearmongering to protect the rights and lives of everyone. In this book, she boldly speaks out about working as a change agent in a state that actively attempts to pass legislation that would erase her existence, explores how we can reclaim bodily autonomy, and encourages us to amplify our voices to be heard. 
  Disarming, funny, charming, and powerful, this is a vital account of personal accomplishment that will open eyes and change minds.
