End of Reform : New Deal Liberalism in Recession and War

By: ALAN BRINKLEY

Price: $16.95

Publisher: Random House Inc: January 1996

Seller ID: 135370

ISBN: 0679753141

Binding: Paper Back

Condition: New

At a time when liberalism is in disarray, this vastly illuminating book locates the origins of its crisis. Those origins, says Alan Brinkley, are paradoxically situated during the second term of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, whose New Deal had made liberalism a fixture of American politics and society. The End of Reform shows how the liberalism of the early New Deal--which set out to repair and, if necessary, restructure America's economy--gave way to its contemporary counterpart, which is less hostile to corporate capitalism and more solicitous of individual rights. Clearly and dramatically, Bri...

War for Korea, 1945 -1950: A House Burning (Modern War Studies)

By: Alan R. Millett

Price: $27.95

Publisher: University Press of Kansas: February 2015

Seller ID: 118580

ISBN: 0700621091

Binding: Paper Back

Condition: New

When the major powers sent troops to the Korean peninsula in June of 1950, it supposedly marked the start of one of the last century's bloodiest conflicts. Allan Millett, however, reveals that the Korean War actually began with partisan clashes two years earlier and had roots in the political history of Korea under Japanese rule, 1910-1945.

The first in a new two-volume history of the Korean War, Millett's study offers the most comprehensive account of its causes and early military operations. Millett traces the war's origins to the post-liberation conflict between two revolutionary moveme...

Lee, Grant and Sherman: A Study in Leadership in the 1864-65 Campaign

By: Albert E. Castel, Alfred H. Burne

Price: $16.95

Publisher: Univ Pr of Kansas: October 2000

Seller ID: 126280

ISBN: 0700610731

Binding: Paper Back

Condition: New

Had Lee enjoyed the manpower or materiel advantages of Grant, would the South have triumphed? Had Hood possessed strength superior to Sherman's, would he still have lost their encounters in Georgia? Popular sentiment has long bowed to the military leadership of the Civil War's victorious generals--a view that has been disputed by modern scholarship. Many might be startled to learn that a British army officer also called these opinions into question long ago.

Out of print for more than fifty years, Lee, Grant and Sherman is an unrecognized classic of Civil War history that presaged current ...

A surprising assessment of the failures and successes of modern Japan.

In Dogs and Demons, Alex Kerr chronicles the many facets of Japan's recent, and chronic, crises -- from the failure of its banks and pension funds to the decline of its once magnificent modern cinema. He is the first to give a full report on the nation's endangered environment -- its seashores lined with concrete, its roads leading to nowhere in the mountains -- as well as its "monument frenzy," the destruction of old cities such as Kyoto and construction of drab new ones, and the attendant collapse o...
