ISBN: 1538130807
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 253
Book Description
"American history buffs will savor this detailed yet accessible roundup of political imbroglios." —Publishers Weekly Political scandals have become an indelible feature of the American political system since the creation of the republic more than two centuries ago. In his previous book, Libertines: American Political Sex Scandals from Alexander Hamilton to Donald Trump, Michael Martinez explored why public figures sometimes take extraordinary risks, sullying their good names, humiliating their families, placing themselves in legal jeopardy, and potentially destroying their political careers as they seek to gratify their sexual desires. In Scoundrels, Martinez examines thirteen of the most famous (or infamous) and not-so-famous political scandals of other sorts in American history, including the Teapot Dome case from the 1920s, the Watergate break-in and cover-up in the 1970s, the Iran-Contra affair of the 1980s, and Russian interference in the 2016 elections. Combining riveting storytelling with insights into 200 years of American political corruption, Martinez has once again written a book that will enlighten all readers interested in human nature and political history.

Guam
Author: James H. Hallas
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 0811776905
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 601
Book Description
From the award-winning author of Saipan comes the definitive account of one of World War II's most brutal yet overlooked battles—the American reconquest of Guam, where 20 days of combat would claim over 18,000 mostly Japanese lives and mark another important turning point in the Pacific War. Drawing from extensive archival research and firsthand accounts, James H. Hallas masterfully reconstructs this pivotal 1944 campaign that transformed a Japanese island fortress into a vital American base for the final push toward Tokyo. Experience the harrowing invasion through the eyes of the Marines, soldiers, and sailors who fought there: The devastating pre-invasion bombardment that pounded Japanese defenses for 13 straight days The bloody beach landings where frogmen teams led the way through murderous fire The desperate Japanese counterattacks that sometimes inflicted 50% casualties on American units The brutal combat through jungles, swamps, and cave networks in suffocating tropical heat With the same gripping detail that earned his previous works critical acclaim, Hallas weaves together strategic overview with intimate human drama, from the commanders who planned the invasion to the frontline troops who executed it. This meticulously researched narrative stands as the authoritative history of a battle that helped secure ultimate victory in the Pacific.
