Sinossi

In "The Naval War of 1812 (Complete Edition)," Theodore Roosevelt examines the pivotal naval engagements that shaped the outcomes of the War of 1812 between the United States and Great Britain. Rooted in meticulous research and vivid storytelling, Roosevelt's comprehensive narrative captures the essence of maritime conflict and national identity in the early 19th century. His literary style deftly blends historical analysis with engaging prose, allowing readers to appreciate the strategic complexities and heroic undertakings of American naval forces, while positioning the conflict within its broader socio-political context. The 26th President of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt was not only a statesman but also a passionate historian and naturalist. His deep-seated interest in naval history was influenced by his upbringing and experiences in the military, particularly his view on naval power as critical to American strength. Convinced of the importance of a strong navy, Roosevelt delved into this subject matter, believing that understanding the past could inform future policies on national defense and international relations. I highly recommend "The Naval War of 1812" to both history enthusiasts and general readers alike. Roosevelt's engaging style and thorough analysis make this work an essential study for understanding early American naval history, and it sheds light on the emerging national character during this formative period.

Bringing Home the White House -...

Melissa Estes Blair

In Bringing Home the White House, Melissa Estes Blair introduces us to five fascinating yet unheralded women who were at the heart of campaigns to elect and reelect some of our most beloved presidents. By examining the roles of these political strategists in affecting the outcome of presidential elections, Blair sheds light on their historical importance and the relevance of their individual influence. 
 
 
 
In the middle decades of the twentieth century both major political parties had Women's Divisions. The leaders of these divisions—five women who held the job from 1932 until 1958—organized tens of thousands of women all over the country, turning them into the "saleswomen for the party" by providing them with talking points, fliers, and other material they needed to strike up political conversations with their friends and neighbors. The leaders of the Women's Divisions also produced a huge portion of the media used by the campaigns—over 90 percent of all print material in the 1930s—and were close advisors of the presidents of both parties. 
 
 
 
In spite of their importance, these women and their work have been left out of the narratives of midcentury America. In telling the story of these women, Blair reveals the ways that women were central to American politics from the depths of the Great Depression to the height of the Cold War.

Monument Eternal

Alice Coltrane, Ashley Kahn

The long-awaited reissue of Alice Coltrane’s original spiritual teachings and reflections, which provide powerful insight into her transcendent music, cherished by millions across the globe.  
ALICE COLTRANE (1937–2007) was a composer, master of various musical instruments, improviser, spiritual leader, and wife of John Coltrane. Throughout her adult life, she worked within and combined a broad range of musical genres, including gospel, R&B, bebop, free jazz, Indian devotional song, and Western art music. She recorded more than twenty full-length albums for Impulse and Warner Bros. Her music speaks to her experiences as a child playing for church congregations in Detroit; the transcendent and mind-bending avant-garde improvisations she performed with her husband John Coltrane; and her religious pilgrimages to India.  
When Monument Eternal was originally published in 1977, Alice Coltrane was living in Southern California and had recently become a swami, building and nurturing an alternative spiritual community. In these pages, she says that the book is “based upon the soul’s realizations in Absolute Consciousness and its spiritual relationships with the Supreme One.” Monument Eternal offers deep insight into Coltrane’s tremendous musical output and shines a light on her transformation from Alice McLeod, Detroit church organist and bebopper, to sage thought leader Swami Turiyasangitananda. It also reflects the extraordinary fluidity of American religious customs in the mid- and late-twentieth century.  
Akashic’s long-awaited reissue of Monument Eternal includes a new foreword by Ashley Kahn.
