The President's Speech

Pasquale De Marco

Sinossi

In the annals of American history, few speeches have had as profound an impact as President Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. Delivered on November 19, 1863, at the dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, this powerful and moving oration stands as a testament to the ideals upon which this nation was founded and the sacrifices made to preserve it.

In his eloquent words, Lincoln articulates a vision of a unified country, a nation dedicated to the principles of liberty and equality for all. He begins by invoking the Declaration of Independence, reminding his audience of the revolutionary ideals that gave birth to the United States. He then contrasts the lofty aspirations of the nation's founders with the harsh realities of the Civil War, a conflict that threatened to tear the country apart.

Despite the devastation of the war, Lincoln refuses to despair. He calls upon his fellow citizens to rededicate themselves to the cause of unity, to embrace the principles of equality and justice for all. He reminds them that the sacrifices made by the soldiers who fought and died at Gettysburg were not in vain, but rather a testament to the enduring strength of the American spirit.

Lincoln concludes his speech with a vision of a future America, a nation where the ideals of liberty and equality are fully realized. He calls upon his audience to work together to create a more perfect union, a nation that is truly worthy of the sacrifices made by those who came before them.

The Gettysburg Address is not merely a historical document; it is a living testament to the power of words, the resilience of the human spirit, and the enduring ideals upon which this nation was founded. It continues to inspire and challenge us today, reminding us of the unfinished work of creating a more just and equitable society for all.

This book delves into the historical context, rhetorical devices, and enduring legacy of the Gettysburg Address. Through insightful analysis and engaging storytelling, it explores the speech's profound impact on American history, its relevance to contemporary issues, and its enduring power to inspire and unite.

When God Became White -...

Grace Ji-Sun Kim, David P. Gushee

When Western Christians think about God, the default image that comes to mind is usually white and male. How did that happen? 
 
 
 
Christianity is rooted in the ancient Near East among people of darker skin. But over time, European Christians cast Jesus in their own image, with art that imagined a fair-skinned Savior in the style of imperial rulers. Grace Ji-Sun Kim explores the historical origins and theological implications of how Jesus became white and God became a white male. The myth of the white male God has had a devastating effect as it enabled Christianity to have a profoundly colonialist posture across the globe. Kim examines the roots of the distortion, its harmful impact on the world, and shows what it looks like to recover the biblical reality of a nonwhite, nongendered God. Rediscovering God as Spirit leads us to a more just faith and a better church and world.

Demosthenes - Democracy's Defender

James Romm

The tragic story of ancient Greece's last democratic leader and his doomed fight to save Athens from Macedonian domination In the spring of 340 BCE, news arrived that Philip of Macedon had seized a town in central Greece, a base from which he could march on Athens. In the fierce debates about how to respond to the rising threat in the north, Demosthenes, the greatest orator of his day, convinced the Athenian Assembly to confront Philip on the field of battle. Though that effort failed and Athens fell into the grip of Alexander the Great, Philip's son and successor, Demosthenes had established himself as one of history's most eloquent defenders of democracy. In this thrilling biography of the man who led the charge for Greek freedom, James Romm follows Demosthenes from his early career as a legal speech writer through his rise in politics, his fall from grace in a corruption scandal, and his desperate flight to the island of Calauria—where he took his own life rather than submit to Macedonian forces. As he brings to life the bare-knuckle, insult-filled verbal brawls of Athenian orators, Romm not only explores the mind of the man who took on the challenge of saving Greek freedom but also shows how democracies can be destroyed by infighting and internal division.

Swift Sword - The True Story of...

Doyle Glass

Monday, 4 September 1967 
Marine Lance Corporal Jack Swan crested the face of a bare, rocky knoll in 
the Que Son Valley of South Vietnam. Following Swan were the 164 Marines of 
Mike Company, Third Battalion, Fifth Marines, First Marine Division. Their 
mission was to locate and rescue two understrength and isolated companies 
of felow Marines who were under attack by the North Vietnamese Armv 
The sight of a quiet and serene rice paddy and shrub covered valley greeted 
Swan. Too serene, he thought, as he caught sight of a trembling bush. "I think 
I just saw that bush move!" he shouted. "If it moves again, shoot it!" his squad 
leader commanded he bush moved Swan hired. and the hush went down 
Then hell on earth broke loose. 
Rocket-propelled grenades, AK-47 fire, mortars, and machine guns engulfed 
the exposed Marines. The vaunted 2nd NVA Division, six thousand, five hundred 
men strong and expertly camouflaged, had sprung their well-laid trap. 
Instead of coming to the rescue of their embattled comrades, it was now the 
men of Mike 3/5 who were about to be annihilated. Burdened with a rifle, the 
M16, that would often malfunction, how could they hope to beat back a vastly 
superior foe bent on their destruction? 
Outnumbered, out-gunned, and exposed, would any of the men of Mike 3/5 survive?

Hitler's Panzer Generals -...

David Stahel

Germany's success in the Second World War was built upon its tank forces; however, many of its leading generals, with the notable exception of Heinz Guderian, are largely unknown. This biographical study of four German panzer army commanders serving on the Eastern Front is based upon their unpublished wartime letters to their wives. David Stahel offers a complete picture of the men conducting Hitler's war in the East, with an emphasis on the private fears and public pressures they operated under. He also illuminates their response to the criminal dimension of the war as well as their role as leading military commanders conducting large-scale operations. While the focus is on four of Germany's most important panzer generals—Guderian, Hoepner, Reinhardt, and Schmidt—the evidence from their private correspondence sheds new light on the broader institutional norms and cultural ethos of the Wehrmacht's Panzertruppe.
