  The events that led to one of the most infamous moments in early American history began with a series of escalating tensions between two towering figures of the revolutionary generation. At the heart of this saga were Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr, whose personal and political differences culminated in a duel that would forever change the course of their lives and the nation. The rivalry between these men had been simmering beneath the surface for years, driven by conflicting visions of America’s future and a deeply personal sense of pride and honor. As the nation struggled to define itself, the intensity of political passions mirrored the violence that would erupt on a fateful morning along the banks of the Hudson River. 
  Hamilton, a key architect in establishing the new republic’s financial system and a fervent advocate for a strong central government, had found himself at odds with the more cautious and opportunistic Burr. Their interactions were marked by fiery debates and personal insults, each encounter stoking the flames of discord. This tension reached its climax when a series of statements and challenges, amplified by the politically charged atmosphere of the day, left little room for reconciliation. In the culture of honor that prevailed at the time, retreating or appearing weak was not an option, and thus the challenge to a duel was seen as an unavoidable, albeit tragic, path to vindication. 
  On that brisk morning, amid a landscape still haunted by the memories of revolution and laden with the promise of a new beginning, both men prepared to face each other under strict codes of conduct. The duel was not just a matter of personal honor; it was emblematic of the turbulent and often dangerous era in which the young nation was emerging.

  As young men, Kurt Ver Beek, an American sociologist, and Carlos Hernández, a Honduran schoolteacher, devoted their lives to helping the poor. But it wasn't until they moved to an extraordinarily dangerous neighborhood in Honduras that they came to a radical conclusion: The charity world was combating poverty incorrectly. 
   
   
   
  In gripping prose, journalist Ross Halperin chronicles how these two best friends became quasi vigilantes and charged into a series of life-and-death battles: first with the gang that terrorized their community, then with a notorious tycoon who commanded about a thousand-armed men, and finally with a police force whose corruption and brutality defied credulity. Their efforts made some of the most violent neighborhoods on earth safer and arguably improved the functioning of a national government, but in the process of pulling that off, they compromised their principles, precipitated collateral damage, and acquired their share of outraged critics. 
   
   
   
  A remarkable and dangerous feat of reportage, Bear Witness is a thrilling account of an unorthodox mission to establish justice in a place thought to be beyond the reach of the law.

  How six conservative media moguls hindered America and Britain from entering World War II 
  How six conservative media moguls hindered America and Britain from entering World War II 
   
   
   
  “A landmark in the political history of journalism.”—Michael Kazin, author of What It Took to Win: A History of the Democratic Party 
   
   
   
  As World War II approached, the six most powerful media moguls in America and Britain tried to pressure their countries to ignore the fascist threat. The media empires of Robert McCormick, Joseph and Eleanor Patterson, and William Randolph Hearst spanned the United States, reaching tens of millions of Americans in print and over the airwaves with their isolationist views. Meanwhile in England, Lord Rothermere’s Daily Mail extolled Hitler’s leadership and Lord Beaverbrook’s Daily Express insisted that Britain had no interest in defending Hitler’s victims on the continent. 
   
   
   
  Kathryn S. Olmsted shows how these media titans worked in concert—including sharing editorial pieces and coordinating their responses to events—to influence public opinion in a right-wing populist direction, how they echoed fascist and anti‑Semitic propaganda, and how they weakened and delayed both Britain’s and America’s response to Nazi aggression.
