Indian Wars under the Lead of Sitting Bull - Enriched edition With Original Photos and Illustrations

James P. Boyd

Beschreibung

In "Indian Wars under the Lead of Sitting Bull," James P. Boyd profoundly explores the tumultuous period of Native American resistance against U.S. expansionism in the late 19th century. Boyd's narrative combines a meticulous historical account with vivid storytelling, presenting a balanced perspective on the complexities of the Indian Wars. He employs a rich, descriptive literary style that immerses readers in the cultural and physical landscapes inhabited by Sitting Bull and his followers. The book situates itself within the broader discourse of American history, examining themes of sovereignty, identity, and the relentless pursuit of land, thereby contextualizing the conflicts within the socio-political climate of the time. James P. Boyd, a noted historian and writer, has dedicated much of his career to understanding Native American history and his extensive research informs this work. His background in ethnographic studies and passion for indigenous rights undoubtedly shaped his portrayal of Sitting Bull as not merely a warrior, but as a strategic leader and a symbol of resistance against colonial oppression. Boyd's commitment to illuminating the stories of often marginalized figures in history underscores his motivations for penning this compelling narrative. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in American history, indigenous studies, or military strategy. Boyd's insightful analysis not only sheds light on the life and legacy of Sitting Bull but also prompts readers to reflect on the broader implications of colonialism and resistance. Whether a scholar, student, or general reader, this work promises to engage and enlighten, making it a valuable addition to one's historical library.

Disappearance of the Surcouf...

Editors Charles River

When the Surcouf launched in 1929, it was a technological marvel. This wasn’t a conventional submarine at all, but a 3,300-ton, 300-foot-long submersible light cruiser. Armed not just with torpedoes but also a pair of eight-inch guns, the Surcouf had a range of over 10,000 miles and was equipped with a seaplane in a hanger and a prison capable of holding up to 40 prisoners. When it was launched, the submarine looked like something out of the novels of Jules Verne, and many people believed it would make all existing submarines (and many surface warships) obsolete. However, by the time France found itself at war with Nazi Germany in 1939, the Surcouf was outdated and basically irrelevant, though it was still in active service with the French Navy.
When France was defeated by Nazi Germany in June 1940, the majority of French troops and warships ceased fighting. However, some relocated to Britain, the only nation still fighting Germany, to join Free French forces under the command of the charismatic General Charles De Gaulle. The crew of the Surcouf joined the Free French Navy and served from late 1940 to February 1942, when she called in at the British port of Bermuda before sailing for the island of Tahiti, French Polynesia, in the South Pacific. On February 12, the Surcouf left Bermuda en route for Tahiti via the Panama Canal and was never seen again.
There have been many theories about what might have happened to the Surcouf and her 130-man crew, ranging from an accidental collision to sabotage and even accidental (or deliberate) attacks by her allies. As a result, the fate of the Surcouf has become one of the most enduring and baffling maritime mysteries, and it still generates a great deal of debate.

The Afterlife of Byzantium

Santiago Machain

The Afterlife of Byzantium traces the final centuries of the Byzantine Empire from the Palaiologan restoration to the fall of Constantinople—and follows its astonishing afterlife far beyond 1453. Through nine richly detailed chapters culminating in a study of legacy and memory, this volume reveals how an empire under pressure reinvented itself through faith, diplomacy, art, scholarship, and everyday resilience. Readers encounter the return to Constantinople in 1261, the fraying frontiers of the Balkans and Anatolia, the mystical power of Hesychasm, the resourceful brilliance of Palaiologan art, the hard math of a late economy, and the fine-edged craft of survival diplomacy. The ascent of the Ottomans and the last defense of 1453 are narrated alongside the intimate human experiences of merchants, monks, mothers, and envoys. 
Beyond the walls, the book follows Byzantium’s legacy into Ottoman institutions, Orthodox worship, Venetian print shops, Cretan ateliers, Muscovite courts, and the domestic rituals that carried memory forward. It shows how Byzantine law, liturgy, education, iconography, and political imagination shaped communities for centuries, from the Phanar’s salons to Athonite scriptoria, from market stalls to imperial chancelleries. Written in an informative, humanized, and professional voice, this is a story of continuity through change—a portrait of how an empire’s culture outlived its sovereignty and continued to teach the world how to endure with dignity.
