Summary

"Bonus Army March" examines the 1932 protests in Washington D.C., where World War I veterans sought early payment of their promised bonuses amid the Great Depression. This book uniquely connects the economic desperation of veterans, the political debates surrounding the bonus bill, and the severe consequences of the government's response. The narrative reveals how the Hoover administration's actions contributed to its unpopularity. The book traces the veterans' journey to Washington, their establishment of encampments, and their interactions with Congress. It highlights that the initial bonus legislation was the World War Adjusted Compensation Act in 1924, but as economic hardship intensified, veterans demanded immediate relief. Supported by primary sources like letters and government documents, the book progresses from establishing the historical context of WWI, through the march on Washington, and culminates in the government's controversial eviction of the veterans. It provides a comprehensive account of a pivotal moment in American history, detailing the social movements, veterans' affairs, and the government’s handling of the economic hardship. The book provides a balanced perspective on the events and encourages readers to consider the ongoing debate about the government’s responsibility to its veterans.

  • The Dogs of Mariupol - Russia's Invasion and the Forging of Ukraine's Iron Generation - cover

    The Dogs of Mariupol - Russia's...

    When Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, Kateryna hung up her dresses, Oksana and Stanislav put down their lawyers' briefs and Oksen slammed shut his philosophy textbooks. Alongside thousands of their fellow citizens, they strapped on armour, picked up weapons and chose to risk their lives for the freedom and independence of their homeland. Many would never return.
    Journalist Tom Mutch woke up in Kyiv on 24 February to a world changed for ever. Making a fateful choice to stay and cover the invasion, he witnessed the forging of an 'iron generation' of young Ukrainians. With first-hand reporting from all the major battlegrounds and front lines, The Dogs of Mariupol recounts the war's notorious encounters, such as the Battle of Kyiv and the Siege of Mariupol, but also uncovers untold stories, like the 1st Tank Brigade's desperate defence of Chernihiv and the civilian guerrilla army fighting overwhelming odds in Sumy.
    This is not a triumphalist account of Ukraine's fight, however. It painstakingly documents the immense human catastrophe wrought on Ukrainian society and the divisions between those who fought and those who fled. It also delves deeper into events to answer important historical questions: could the Russian plan to capture Kyiv have succeeded? Did Ukraine make a fatal error by committing for so long to the defence of Bakhmut? And with more western support, could Ukraine have won this terrible war outright?

    In the wild mountains of the Montana Territory, the Coulter ranch is a place of family, loyalty, a hidden fortune…and a bride he can’t remember marrying.  Jude Coulter is far more comfortable in his family’s sapphire mine tucked in the Montana mountains than on the bustling streets of New York City, where he’s been sent to deliver a shipment of gems. His relief at boarding the train for the first leg of his journey home is short-lived when an accident renders him unconscious.  Angela Larkin worked hard to earn this assignment for the Treasury—an undercover mission to determine the source of the sapphires brought each year for auction in the city. When an accident causes her target to lose his recent memory, Angela jumps at the opportunity to create the ideal ruse. Jude seems surprised to learn the two of them had married and were returning from a glorious wedding trip, but his severe head injury keeps him from protesting…for now.  But the accident is far from the worst threat they face. When enemies close in, Angela and Jude must depend on each other to survive the treacherous journey home. As the danger mounts, so too does an attraction neither of them anticipated. But can their love withstand the revelation of their tangled beginnings?  From a USA Today bestselling author comes a mountain family saga filled with a pretend marriage, amnesia, undercover agents, and a love worth treasuring far more than riches.

  • Iranian Revolution and Iran Hostage Crisis The: The History of the Events that Broke American Relations with Iran - cover

    Iranian Revolution and Iran...

    On February 1, 1979, amid great fanfare, exiled cleric Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini landed in Tehran. The return of the leader of the revolution to his home country was one of the final markers of the Iranian Revolution, a national phenomenon that had global implications. 
    The Iranian Revolution of 1979 has been described as an epochal event, the peak of 20th century Islamic revivalism and revitalization, and the key incident that continues to impact politics across Iran, the Middle East, and the even the world as a whole. As a phenomenon that led to the creation of the first modern Islamic Republic in the world, the revolution marked the victory of Islam over secular politics, and Iran quickly became the aspiring model for Islamic fundamentalists and revivalists across the globe, regardless of nationality, culture, or religious sect. When Ayatollah Khomeini was declared ruler in December 1979 and the judicial system originally modeled on that of the West was swiftly replaced by one purely based on Islamic law, much of the world was in shock that such a religiously driven revolution could succeed so quickly, especially when it had such sweeping consequences beyond the realm of religion. 
    The Iran Hostage Crisis marked a change in American identity both as individuals and a nation. Those born in earlier decades had relatively little understanding of radical Islam, and those born later could not conceive of a world without it. Some would say that the crisis was ultimately a good thing, in that it ushered Ronald Reagan into the White House and thus led to the fall of Communism, while others would say that it was a harbinger of doom and a demonstration that even as one geopolitical foe declined, another was on the rise. Some say America was singled out because it was seen as too strong, others because it was seen as too weak.
