Synopsis Henry Knox by : Anita Silvey
A hearty eater, dapper dresser, bookseller to Loyalists and Patriots alike,and married into a staunch Loyalist family, Henry Knox may seem an unlikely hero.But his fascination with warfare and strategy and his support of the Patriot cause prepared him to do what no one else thought was possible: transport heavy artillery from Fort Ticonderoga, up and down snow-covered hills and across frozen lakes, to relieve the siege of Boston. The dramatic story of his achievements is all the more satisfying for being absolutely true, a little-known episode in the history of the American Revolution. Source notes, time line, bibliography, map.

Synopsis Soldier. Politician. Patriot. The Biography of Kyung Soon Chang by : Kyung Soon Chang
General Chang saved South Korea from Communism. Twice. On May 16, 1961. General Chang made a decisive contribution to General Chung-hee Park’s bloodless coup. The move saved his country from a collapse engineered by Communist sympathizers after President Syngman Rhee’s resignation in 1960. From 1963 through 1972, General Chang was Vice Speaker of the Korean National Assembly, under General Chung-hee Park, who became the President of South Korea in 1963. In that time, General Chang single-handedly saved his country from mortal danger by thwarting US National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger’s covert operation to withdraw US troops from South Korea. Chang was the first person to detect the plan. It would have handed over South Korea to Communist China. Accompanied only by his assistant, General Chang flew to America and crushed the attempt by informing and persuading, one by one, the US Congressional leadership against Kissinger. Serving as Minister of Agriculture and Forestry, General Chang pioneered Korea’s world-famous reforestation effort. As Minister of Agriculture and Forestry under General Park, General Chang initiated the wildly successful reforestation effort that eventually earned Korea the distinction of being “the only developing country in the world that has succeeded in reforestation since the Second World War,” according to the 1982 report of FAO (UN Food and Agriculture Organization). Buy Now and learn about one of the most interesting periods in South Korea’s history from the perspective of one its most interesting men.

Synopsis A Patriot's History of the United States by : Larry Schweikart
For the past three decades, many history professors have allowed their biases to distort the way America’s past is taught. These intellectuals have searched for instances of racism, sexism, and bigotry in our history while downplaying the greatness of America’s patriots and the achievements of “dead white men.” As a result, more emphasis is placed on Harriet Tubman than on George Washington; more about the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II than about D-Day or Iwo Jima; more on the dangers we faced from Joseph McCarthy than those we faced from Josef Stalin. A Patriot’s History of the United States corrects those doctrinaire biases. In this groundbreaking book, America’s discovery, founding, and development are reexamined with an appreciation for the elements of public virtue, personal liberty, and private property that make this nation uniquely successful. This book offers a long-overdue acknowledgment of America’s true and proud history.

Synopsis Band of Giants by : Jack Kelly
Band of Giants brings to life the founders who fought for our independence in the Revolutionary War. Jefferson, Adams, and Franklin are known to all; men like Morgan, Greene, and Wayne are less familiar. Yet the dreams of the politicians and theorists only became real because fighting men were willing to take on the grim, risky, brutal work of war. We know Fort Knox, but what about Henry Knox, the burly Boston bookseller who took over the American artillery at the age of 25? Eighteen counties in the United States commemorate Richard Montgomery, but do we know that this revered martyr launched a full-scale invasion of Canada? The soldiers of the American Revolution were a diverse lot: merchants and mechanics, farmers and fishermen, paragons and drunkards. Most were ardent amateurs. Even George Washington, assigned to take over the army around Boston in 1775, consulted books on military tactics. Here, Jack Kelly vividly captures the fraught condition of the war—the bitterly divided populace, the lack of supplies, the repeated setbacks on the battlefield, and the appalling physical hardships. That these inexperienced warriors could take on and defeat the superpower of the day was one of the remarkable feats in world history.
