    Learn about the pivotal battle that changed the course of the American Civil War. 
In the summer of 1863, Confederate General Robert E. Lee, fresh off a victory at the Battle of Chancellorsville, decided to invade Union territory. Taking his Army of Northern Virginia into Pennsylvania, Lee was drawn to a place where the area’s major roads converged at Gettysburg. 
There, over seventy thousand Southern troops waged a dogged, bloody battle against over ninety thousand Union soldiers in the fields and on the boulder-strewn heights surrounding the town. 
Lee had a lot of faith in his troops. He nursed many hopes for the invasion, primarily engaging in peace negotiations by placing pressure on Washington, D.C. 
Within three days, those hopes and the future of the Southern cause lay battered on the Gettysburg battlefield, a defeat so crippling it signaled the beginning of the end for the Confederacy. 
This captivating guide tells the story of the Gettysburg campaign, from Lee’s decision to invade to his retreat from the battlefield. In these pages, you’ll read about acts of heroism, brilliant battlefield tactics, and horrible decisions that turned the tide of war.

    Going Public - A Survivor’s...

    It took Julie Macfarlane a lifetime to say the words out loud — the words that finally broke the calm and traveled farther than she could have imagined. In this clear-eyed account, she confronts her own silence and deeply rooted trauma to chart a remarkable course from sexual abuse victim to agent of change.
		 
Going Public merges the worlds of personal and professional, activism and scholarship. Drawing upon decades of legal training, Macfarlane decodes the well-worn methods used by church, school, and state to silence survivors, from first reporting to cross-examination to non-disclosure agreements. At the same time, she lays bare the isolation and exhaustion of going public in her own life, as she takes her abuser to court, challenges her colleagues, and weathers a defamation lawsuit.
		 
The result is far more than a memoir. It’s a courageous and essential blueprint on how to go toe-to-toe with the powers behind institutional abuse and protectionism. At long last, Macfarlane’s experiences bring her to the most important realization of her life: that only she can stand in her own shoes, and only she can stand up and speak about what happened to her.
