Synopsis

In "The Rise and Influence of the Spirit of Rationalism in Europe," William Edward Hartpole Lecky embarks on an intricate exploration of the evolution of rational thought across Europe from the Renaissance to the 19th century. Lecky employs a compelling narrative style, deftly combining historical analysis with philosophical discourse, to illuminate how rationalism emerged as a transformative force against the backdrop of superstition and dogma. Through meticulous research, he articulates the complex interplay between various intellectual movements, religions, and scientific advancements, revealing how rationalism reshaped societal norms, ethics, and political thinking in profound ways. Lecky, an influential Irish historian and philosopher, was deeply entrenched in the intellectual currents of his time, which informed his exploration of rationalism. His interest in the interplay of history, ethics, and societal development is evident in his broader work, which often emphasizes the importance of reason and skepticism. Growing up in a time marked by scientific discovery and ideological upheaval likely fueled his quest to articulate the significant impact of rational thought on European civilization. This book is essential for readers interested in the foundations of modern thought and the historical evolution of rationalism. Lecky's nuanced understanding offers an enlightening perspective that resonates with contemporary debates about the role of reason in public discourse. Whether a scholar of philosophy or a curious reader, this work will enrich your understanding of the intellectual heritage of Europe.

Iron Brigade and Stonewall...

Editors Charles River

The Eastern Theater of the Civil War saw the bloodiest and most famous battles, as well as the biggest losses, giving the Iron Brigade a chance to demonstrate its mettle during legendary confrontations with Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia, particularly at the battles of Second Bull Run, South Mountain, Antietam, and Gettysburg. In fact, the brigade suffered the highest percentage of casualties of any brigade in the Civil War, rendering it almost incapable of maintaining a fighting force by June 1864, during the middle of Ulysses S. Grant’s Overland Campaign. 
General Thomas Jonathan Jackson and his brigade earned the nickname “Stonewall” at First Manassas by turning the tide of that battle, and they would become known as the legendary foot cavalry by bottling up 3 different Union armies in the Shenandoah Valley in 1862. Although Stonewall Jackson and the Stonewall Brigade may share the most famous nickname to come out of the Civil War, it’s still unclear whether Barnard Bee, the general who provided the legendary name at First Manassas, meant it as a complaint that they were not moving or as a compliment for standing resolute in the heat of battle. 
Regardless, the Stonewall Brigade went on to fight in every major battle in the Eastern theater of the American Civil War, to the extent that of the 6,000 men who fought with the brigade over the course of four years, less than 200 remained by the time General Robert E. Lee surrendered at Appomattox Courthouse on April 9, 1865. They were organized, trained, and mentored by one of the most revered military leaders in American history, and they made a decisive impact on battles like First Manassas, the 1862 Valley Campaign, and Chancellorsville. The brigade was virtually a spent force by the end of the Battle of Spotsylvania Courthouse in May 1864, which took place nearly a year after Stonewall Jackson himself had been mortally wounded at Chancellorsville.

Bugsy's Shadow - Moe Sedway...

Larry D. Gragg

Early in the Prohibition era, Moe Sedway became part of the New York organized crime gang led by Meyer Lansky and Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel. A loyal and highly effective operative for Siegel, Sedway eventually gained monopoly control of the race wire service in Las Vegas and also became an effective casino manager of the Las Vegas Club, El Cortez, and the Rex Club. 
 
 
 
A breach in their relationship led to rumors that Sedway had gained Lansky's approval for a "hit" on Siegel. The unsolved mystery of who murdered Bugsy in 1947 has spawned numerous theories about the identity of the hitman, but regardless of who pulled the trigger, Bugsy's death opened the way for Moe to flourish as his own man at last. Long overshadowed by Bugsy in the annals of organized crime in America, Moe Sedway is now at last brought out into the light in this riveting tale of the sensational life and times of one of Vegas's most mysterious and little-known figures.
