Sinossi

In "Camps, Quarters, and Casual Places," Archibald Forbes fashions a vivid and engaging narrative that encapsulates his journeys as a war correspondent during the late 19th century. The book is marked by a distinctive blend of detailed observation and a reflective prose style, providing readers with an intimate look at the complexities of military life and the socio-political landscapes inherent in war. Forbes intertwines personal anecdotes with broader historical contexts, painting a picture of both the glorification and the grim realities of camp and battlefield experiences. Archibald Forbes, a Scottish journalist renowned for his fearless reporting and nuanced perspectives, draws upon his extensive experiences from various military campaigns to compose this work. His background in military affairs and personal engagement in conflicts allowed him to portray the intricacies of military culture and personal heroism with authentic insight. Forbes's commitment to conveying the human side of war is evident throughout, as he seeks to debunk romanticized notions of battle, instead prioritizing the lived experiences of soldiers and civilians alike. For readers interested in military history, journalism, or the human condition, "Camps, Quarters, and Casual Places" is an essential exploration of war's multifaceted impact. Forbes's eloquent storytelling invites readers to consider not only the battles fought but the enduring footprints left on the psyche of individuals and society. This book is a compelling invitation to understand the complexities of conflict through the eyes of an informed observer.

    Shakespeare's Rome - Republic...

    For more than forty years, Paul Cantor’s Shakespeare’s Rome has been a foundational work in the field of politics and literature. While many critics assumed that the Roman plays do not reflect any special knowledge of Rome, Cantor was one of the first to argue that they are grounded in a profound understanding of the Roman regime and its changes over time. Taking Shakespeare seriously as a political thinker, Cantor suggests that his Roman plays can be profitably studied in the context of the classical republican tradition in political philosophy.             In Shakespeare’s Rome, Cantor examines the political settings of Shakespeare’s Roman plays, Coriolanus and Antony and Cleopatra, with references as well to Julius Caesar. Cantor shows that Shakespeare presents a convincing portrait of Rome in different eras of its history, contrasting the austere republic of Coriolanus, with its narrow horizons and martial virtues, and the cosmopolitan empire of Antony and Cleopatra, with its “immortal longings” and sophistication bordering on decadence.

    Dark Horse - General Larry O...

    Gen. Larry Spencer, USAF (Ret.) was born and raised on the Horseshoe—a tough inner-city street in southeast Washington D.C. The Horseshoe was a hard neighborhood where fights were common, and the school systems were second-rate. The expectations of living in an all-Black neighborhood were to be good at sports while shunning academic prowess. That environment resulted in poor self-esteem and a bleak outlook for the future. 
     
     
     
    Quite by chance, Spencer enlisted in the U.S. Air Force where he continued to struggle with the racial turmoil of the 1970s. As a very young first lieutenant, he was assigned to a tough job in the Pentagon, but Spencer earned an early reputation as a fast burner. Spencer went on to serve at the White House, and then successfully commanded a Group and a Wing before being assigned as the chief financial officer (comptroller) for Air Combat Command. During that assignment, Spencer was promoted to brigadier general and was tasked to set up a new Directorate at Air Force Materiel Command. Spencer later returned to the Pentagon where he led Air Force Budget. He ultimately became the Air Force's thirty-seventh vice chief of staff, making him one of only nine African Americans promoted to four stars. Spencer concludes his historic climb with life lessons learned on his journey from the inner city to the Pentagon.
