Book Description
PULITZER PRIZE WINNER • NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The “remarkable” (Ken Burns), “utterly absorbing” (Forbes) Civil War classic that inspired the film Gettysburg, with more than three million copies in print—now in a 50th anniversary edition featuring a new introduction by Jeff Shaara “My favorite historical novel . . . a superb re-creation of the Battle of Gettysburg, but its real importance is its insight into what the war was about, and what it meant.”—James M. McPherson In the four most bloody and courageous days of our nation’s history, two armies fought for two conflicting dreams. One dreamed of freedom, the other of a way of life. Far more than rifles and bullets were carried into battle. There were memories. There were promises. There was love. And far more than men fell on those Pennsylvania fields. Bright futures, untested innocence, and pristine beauty were also the casualties of war. Michael Shaara’s Pulitzer Prize–winning masterpiece is unique, sweeping, unforgettable—the dramatic story of the battleground for America’s destiny.

Pages : 417
Book Description
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Pulitzer Prize–winning author Jon Meacham helps us understand the present moment in American politics and life by looking back at critical times in our history when hope overcame division and fear. “Gripping and inspiring, The Soul of America is Jon Meacham’s declaration of his faith in America.”—Newsday ONE OF OPRAH’S “BOOKS THAT HELP ME THROUGH” • A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: NPR, The Christian Science Monitor, Southern Living Our current climate of partisan fury is not new, and in The Soul of America Meacham shows us how what Abraham Lincoln called the “better angels of our nature” have repeatedly won the day. Painting surprising portraits of Lincoln and other presidents, including Ulysses S. Grant, Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, Dwight Eisenhower, and Lyndon B. Johnson, and illuminating the courage of such influential citizen activists as Martin Luther King, Jr., early suffragettes Alice Paul and Carrie Chapman Catt, civil rights pioneers Rosa Parks and John Lewis, First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, and Army-McCarthy hearings lawyer Joseph N. Welch, Meacham brings vividly to life turning points in American history. He writes about the Civil War, Reconstruction, and the birth of the Lost Cause; the backlash against immigrants in the First World War and the resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan in the 1920s; the fight for women’s rights; the demagoguery of Huey Long and Father Coughlin and the isolationist work of America First in the years before World War II; the anti-Communist witch-hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy; and Lyndon Johnson’s crusade against Jim Crow. Each of these dramatic hours in our national life have been shaped by the contest to lead the country to look forward rather than back, to assert hope over fear—a struggle that continues even now. While the American story has not always—or even often—been heroic, we have been sustained by a belief in progress even in the gloomiest of times. In this inspiring book, Meacham reassures us, “The good news is that we have come through such darkness before”—as, time and again, Lincoln’s better angels have found a way to prevail.

Although the book was written a quarter-century ago, it was not released until August, 2001, a mere three weeks prior to the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. The final chapter was written in the year 2000, telling that Islamic terrorism was would to spread to every nation, including the United States. Ironically, Mullen wrote that chapter while living with Mohamed Atta, the mastermind of the WTC terrorist attack. He again crossed paths with Atta just prior to 9-11, an occurrence that drew the attention of the FBI. In 1976, Michael Mullen was writing a book about the horrendous sinking of the WWII ship, USS Indianapolis (of JAWS fame), based upon TOP SECRET papers released exclusively to him by President Gerald Ford. Mullen had the interest of every major publishing house in the country, when suddenly, the Man on the Shroud of Turin commanded that he quit writing that book, and instead, write what would become War of the Angels. He told Mullen, "Write what you see." War of the Angels was Divinely Inspired. It was written as commanded by the Man whose image is embedded on the Shroud of Turin. It is based upon first-hand encounters. Not only does it detail the world of angels, but also such phenomena as: the Star of Bethlehem; the Shroud of Turin; the Cloud World of the Rapture; the Bottomless Pit of the demons; and much more. Mullen saw SahTAHN being cast into hell, and he stood beside Jesus in the Great White Throne Room as World War Three was launched by Russia. War of the Angels "takes you there." War of the Angels is the most authoritative book on angel warfare ever written. It is based upon actual experiences, written by a very credible source. Michael Mullen helped pioneer the NBA into the computer age. He was recognized as the top computer analyst in professional basketball, and was acknowledged by the White House and the U.S. Senate. He also had career stints in Major League Baseball, USA Olympics, was General Manager for the former Ringling Bros. winter headquarters, hosted Fox Sports TV events, and more. He authored, "How To Get A Job In Sports" and has chaired career seminars with teams from every major sport. He has authored multiple books, and is currently President of the Jerusalem Broadcasting Company--USA.

Winner of a Pura Belpré Illustrator Honor and a Robert F. Sibert Honor! Celebrate music icon Carlos Santana in this vibrant, rhythmic picture book from the author of the New York Times Best Illustrated Children’s Book Muddy: The Story of Blues Legend Muddy Waters. Carlos Santana loved to listen to his father play el violín. It was a sound that filled the world with magic and love and feeling and healing—a sound that made angels real. Carlos wanted to make angels real, too. So he started playing music. Carlos tried el clarinete and el violín, but there were no angels. Then he picked up la guitarra. He took the soul of the Blues, the brains of Jazz, and the energy of Rock and Roll, and added the slow heat of Afro-Cuban drums and the cilantro-scented sway of the music he’d grown up with in Mexico. There were a lot of bands in San Francisco but none of them sounded like this. Had Carlos finally found the music that would make his angels real?
