Sinossi

Eugene Fitch Ware's "The Indian War of 1864" encapsulates a pivotal moment in the American frontier's tumultuous history. Employing a vivid narrative style interwoven with personal accounts and rich historical detail, Ware illustrates the complexities of this conflict, focusing on the struggles between Native American tribes and U.S. military forces. His immersive exploration of the war's events is framed within the broader context of westward expansion and the pervasive themes of colonialism and displacement. Through meticulous research, Ware sheds light on the psychological and social dimensions of the combatants, thereby offering readers a nuanced perspective that transcends mere military chronicle. Eugene Fitch Ware, a multifaceted figure—poet, soldier, and journalist—was deeply influenced by his experiences serving in the Civil War and his love for the American landscape. His background as a frontier settler and later a participant in the war against the Plains tribes profoundly shaped his perspective and motivated him to document the narratives of both the soldiers and Native Americans. Ware's empathy towards those involved is evident throughout his work, making it a significant historical reflection. This book is highly recommended for anyone interested in American history, military studies, or indigenous rights. Ware's work invites readers to engage critically with the past while offering valuable insights into the consequences of conflict and cultural encounter. In doing so, "The Indian War of 1864" stands not only as a historical text but as a timeless reminder of the complexities of the human experience.

Beyond the Wager - The Christian...

Douglas Groothuis

Blaise Pascal, the seventeenth-century French philosopher and scientist, is perhaps best known for his "wager," an argument about the existence of God. But there was much more to Pascal and his brilliance. 
 
 
 
In this accessible and well-documented study, philosopher Douglas Groothuis introduces listeners to Pascal's life as well as the breadth of his intellectual pursuits, including his contributions to mathematics, science, ethics, and theology. Groothuis overviews the key points of Pascal's Pensées, which captures his thoughts about God, humanity, and Jesus Christ. Listeners will also explore Pascal's views on a range of topics, including culture, politics, Islam, and miracles. 
 
 
 
Often quoted and often misunderstood, Pascal is a complex figure whose writings have charmed, puzzled, and inspired readers across the centuries. With guidance from a leading Christian thinker and longtime student of Pascal, Beyond the Wager takes you on a journey to discover the riches Pascal has to offer today.

Insurrection - Rebellion Civil...

Hawa Allan

The little-known and under-studied 1807 Insurrection Act was passed to give the president the ability to deploy federal military forces to fend off lawlessness and rebellion, but it soon became much more than the sum of its parts. Its power is integrally linked to the perceived threat of black American equity in what lawyer and critic Hawa Allan demonstrates is a dangerous paradox. While the Act was initially used to repress rebellion against slavery, during Reconstruction it was invoked by President Grant to quell white-supremacist uprisings in the South. During the civil rights movement, it enabled the protection of black students who attended previously segregated educational institutions. Most recently, the Insurrection Act has been the vehicle for presidents to call upon federal troops to suppress so-called "race riots" like those in Los Angeles in 1992, and for them to threaten to do so in other cases of racial justice activism. 
 
 
 
Allan's distinctly literary voice underscores her paradigm-shifting reflections on the presence of fear and silence in history and their shadowy impact on the law. Throughout, she draws revealing insight from her own experiences as one of the only black girls in her leafy Long Island suburb, as a black lawyer at a predominantly white firm, and as a thinker about the use and misuse of appeals to law and order.
