Sinossi

Rebel Movements explores the significant insurgencies and revolutionary movements throughout U.S. history, examining why citizens have risen up against their government. The book delves into the socio-economic, political, and ideological factors that ignite these rebellions, the government's varied responses, and the lasting impact these events have had on America's political landscape. For instance, early colonial resistance like the Stamp Act protests set the stage for later revolutionary actions, highlighting the evolving tension between the American people and their government.

 
The book progresses chronologically, starting with pre-Revolutionary War conflicts and moving through pivotal events such as the Whiskey Rebellion, Shay's Rebellion, and the Civil War. Each chapter offers detailed case studies, utilizing primary sources and statistical data to provide a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics at play.

 
These rebellions, whether successful or not, have often acted as catalysts for social and political change, compelling reforms and reshaping the social contract. By understanding these historical patterns, readers gain valuable insights into navigating contemporary issues of social unrest and political polarization.

The Original Watergate Stories

The Washington Post, Carl...

"5 Held in Plot to Bug Democrats' Offices": The legendary articles that exposed a crime, ended a presidency, and changed a nation. The Washington Post's seminal Watergate stories have been gathered together for the first time, including a foreword by journalists Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein assessing the impact of their stories decades later. "5 Held in Plot to Bug Democrats' Offices Here", said the headline at the bottom of page one in the Washington Post on Sunday, June 18, 1972. The story reported that a team of burglars had been arrested inside the offices of the Democratic National Committee in the Watergate office complex in Washington. On assignment, Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward uncovered a widespread political scandal and cover-up at the highest levels of government, culminating with the resignation of President Richard Nixon. The Post won a Pulitzer Prize for its work, which became the subject of two bestselling books and a renowned movie, All the President's Men. This book is a look back at the dramatic chain of events that would convulse Washington for two years and lead to the first resignation of a U. S. president, forever changing American politics.

Death in Derry - Martin...

Jonathan Trigg

When civil rights protests in the 1960s gave way to armed struggle, the Provisional IRA in Derry – both city and county – led the fight against the British security forces. In the city Martin McGuinness – a young butcher’s assistant from the Bogside – quickly rose through the ranks, launching a bombing campaign that reduced the city centre to rubble. In tandem, the IRA’s active service units fought the British Army in the streets and alleys of the Bogside, Creggan, Shantallow and the Waterside. Out in the townlands, a new generation from the county’s traditional republican families waged an equally ruthless war against their neighbours in the RUC and UDR. The Derry Brigade’s success would help propel McGuinness to the very top of the IRA’s Army Council. 
 
By the early 1980s the Derry Brigade appeared untouchable. However, in reality, Special Branch and British Intelligence had infiltrated it from top to bottom and almost destroyed the brigade. By the mid-1990s its war was all but over, its ranks decimated by death and incarceration. This is the story of that war told by those from all sides who survived it.

Some of the Dharma

Jack Kerouac

While his masterpiece On the Road languished on the desks of unresponsive editors, Kerouac turned to Buddhism, and in 1953 began writing reading notes on the subject intended for his friend Allen Ginsberg. As his Buddhist study and meditation practice intensified, what had begun as notes evolved into a vast, all-encompassing work of nonfiction into which he poured his life, incorporating poems, haiku, prayers, journal entries, fragments of letters, ideas about writing, sketches, and more. The final manuscript, completed in 1956, was as visually complex as the writing: each page was unique, typed in patterns and interlocking shapes. The elaborate form that Kerouac so painstakingly gave his books is recreated in this typeset facsimile. 
Passionate, playful, ecstatic, filled with humor, insight, beautiful language, sorrow, and struggle, Some of the Dharma is a far-ranging and extremely revealing work. 
"Kerouac's work represents the most extensive experiment in language and literary form undertaken by an American writer of his generation." -THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW
