Sinossi

American Struggle in History is a sweeping, deeply human exploration of the conflicts that have shaped the United States from its earliest beginnings to the present day. Rather than telling a story of steady progress or inevitable decline, this book traces America’s long argument with itself, an argument over freedom and power, inclusion and exclusion, justice and fear. It asks not whether conflict defines the nation, but how Americans have used conflict to challenge authority, expand rights, and renegotiate what it means to belong.Spanning four centuries, the book moves from colonial contradictions and the founding paradox of liberty alongside slavery, through revolution, civil war, reconstruction, industrialization, world war, civil rights, globalization, and into the fractured realities of the twenty first century. Each era reveals familiar tensions resurfacing in new forms. Economic growth produces inequality. Security threatens liberty. Reform provokes backlash. Democracy advances unevenly, never finished and never free from resistance.What sets this book apart is its focus on struggle as a civic force rather than a national failure. American history is presented not as a courtroom delivering final judgments, but as a living conversation shaped by voices from the margins and the center alike. Reformers, workers, protestors, citizens, and leaders all appear as participants in an ongoing debate over the nation’s ideals and responsibilities. The book shows how progress has emerged not from consensus, but from sustained disagreement grounded in moral urgency.Written in a clear, engaging, and reflective style, American Struggle in History connects past conflicts to present divisions without reducing complexity or offering easy answers. It challenges readers to see today’s polarization in historical context, reminding us that moments of fracture have come before, and that the survival of democracy has always depended on the willingness of citizens to stay engaged in the argument.This is not a book that promises reassurance. It offers perspective. It affirms that the American experiment has always been unfinished, shaped by choices made under pressure, and renewed through civic participation. For readers seeking to understand how the United States became what it is today, and what its history suggests about the future, American Struggle in History offers a thoughtful, honest, and essential guide.

    A long-treasured but forgotten classic of folk healing, with an introduction and commentary by the author of Backwoods Witchcraft and Doctoring the Devil. 
     
     
     
    Ossman & Steel's Guide to Health or Household Instructor (its original title) is a collection of spells, remedies, and charms. The book draws from the old Pennsylvania Dutch and German powwow healing practices that in turn helped shape Appalachian folk healing, conjure, root work, and many folk healing traditions in America. Jake Richards, author of Backwoods Witchcraft and Doctoring the Devil, puts these remedies in context, with practical advice for modern-day "backwoods" healers interested in using them today. 
     
     
     
    The first part contains spells and charms for healing wounds, sties, broken bones, maladies, and illnesses of all sorts. The second part includes other folk remedies using ingredients based on sympathetic reasoning, including sulfuric acid, gunpowder, or other substances for swelling, toothache, headache, and so on. These remedies are presented here for historic interest, to help better understand how folk medicine evolved in America. It is Jake Richards's hope that reintroducing this work will reestablish its position as a useful household helper in the library of every witch or country healer.

    The military strength of ancient Egypt was a defining factor in its ability to expand and sustain one of the most enduring civilizations in history. From its early beginnings, Egypt developed a structured and disciplined military that evolved to meet the challenges posed by both internal conflicts and foreign threats. The foundation of this power lay in the organization of its armed forces, the strategic leadership of its rulers, and the continual advancement of its weaponry and tactics. 
    In the early periods, Egypt's military was primarily a defensive force, focused on protecting the fertile Nile Valley from nomadic raiders. The unification of Upper and Lower Egypt under Narmer marked a crucial turning point, as military conquest became a tool for political consolidation. The pharaohs not only ruled as divine monarchs but also acted as supreme military commanders, leading their armies into battle and overseeing large-scale campaigns. This dual role reinforced their authority and ensured that military success translated into political stability. 
    One of the key factors in Egypt’s military rise was its ability to adapt to new technologies and strategies. During the Second Intermediate Period, Egypt faced the Hyksos, a foreign power that introduced advanced chariot warfare and superior composite bows. Instead of being permanently subdued, the Egyptians learned from their enemies, incorporating these innovations into their own forces. This adaptation played a crucial role in the expulsion of the Hyksos and the rise of the New Kingdom, during which Egypt became an empire with far-reaching influence.

    “A reminder of the perseverance, the gall, the intelligence it took to obtain what now seems an inalienable right, an obvious pillar of any democracy.” —Los Angeles TimesAlice Paul began her life as a studious girl from a strict Quaker family in New Jersey. In 1907, a scholarship took her to England, where she developed a passionate devotion to the suffrage movement. Upon her return to the United States, Alice became the leader of the militant wing of the American suffrage movement. Calling themselves “Silent Sentinels,” she and her followers were the first protestors to picket the White House. Arrested and jailed, they went on hunger strikes and were force-fed and brutalized. Years before Gandhi's campaign of nonviolent resistance, and decades before civil rights demonstrations, Alice Paul practiced peaceful civil disobedience in the pursuit of equal rights for women.With her daring and unconventional tactics, Alice Paul eventually succeeded in forcing President Woodrow Wilson and a reluctant U.S. Congress to pass the Nineteenth Amendment, granting women the right to vote. Here at last is the inspiring story of the young woman whose dedication to women's rights made that long-held dream a reality.“Alice Paul was a visionary and a pioneer . . . She went where most men and women would not have gone.” —Hillary Clinton“I value the book for introducing [Paul] to the next generation of feminists with a taste for revolution.” —Vivian Gornick, Ms. Magazine“Mary Walton vividly brings [Paul] to life again in this brilliant, important and highly readable book. America's understanding of its history will be all the richer for it.” —Gene Roberts, Pulitzer Prize–winning author
