Описание: George Gordon Meade has not been treated kindly by history. Victorious at Gettysburg, the biggest battle of the American Civil War, Meade was the longest-serving commander of the Army of the Potomac, leading his army through the brutal Overland Campaign and on to the surrender of Robert E. Lee and the Army of Northern Virginia at Appomattox. Serving alongside his new superior, Ulysses S. Grant, in the last year of the war, his role has been overshadowed by the popular Grant. This first full-length study of Meade’s two-year tenure as commander of the Army of the Potomac brings him out of Grant’s shadow and into focus as one of the top three Union generals of the war.John G. Selby portrays a general bestride a large army he could manage well and a treacherous political environment he neither fully understood nor cared to engage. Meade’s time as commander began on a high note with the victory at Gettysburg, but when he failed to fight Lee’s retreating army that July and into the fall of 1863, the political knives came out. Meade spent the winter of 1863–64 struggling to retain his job while the Joint Committee on the Conduct of the War sought to have him dismissed. Meade offered to resign, but Grant told him to keep his job. Together, they managed the Overland Campaign and the initial attacks on Petersburg and Richmond in 1864.By basing his study on the Official Records of the War of the Rebellion, original Meade letters, and the letters, diaries, journals, and reminiscences of contemporaries, Selby demonstrates that Meade was a much more active, thoughtful, and enterprising commander than has been assumed. This sensitive and reflective man accepted a position that was as political as it was military, despite knowing that the political dimensions of the job might ultimately destroy what he valued the most, his reputation.

Описание: Desmond Meade was chosen as a MacArthur Fellow in 2021 The inspiring and eye-opening true story of one man's undying belief in the power of a fully enfranchised nation. "You may think the right to vote is a small matter, and if you do, I would bet you have never had it taken away from you." Thus begins the story of Desmond Meade and his inspiring journey to restore voting rights to roughly 1.4 million returning citizens in Florida--resulting in a stunning victory in 2018 that enfranchised the most people at once in any single initiative since women's suffrage. Let My People Vote is the deeply moving, personal story of Meade's life, his political activism, and the movement he spearheaded to restore voting rights to returning citizens who had served their terms. Meade survived a tough childhood only to find himself with a felony conviction. Finding the strength to pull his life together, he graduated summa cum laude from college, graduated from law school, and married. But because of his conviction, he was not even allowed to sit for the bar exam in Florida. And when his wife ran for state office, he was filled with pride--but not permitted to vote for her. Meade takes us on a journey from his time in homeless shelters, to the exhilarating, joyful night in November of 2018, when Amendment 4 passed with 65 percent of the vote. Meade's story, and his commitment to a fully enfranchised nation, will prove to readers that one person really can make a difference.
Fatal Shadows (1933): In the early morning hours after the natives' frenetic celebration of the Sultan's birthday, beautiful Ailsa Brownley is found brutally slain by a Malay kris outside the Government Rest House at Johor Bahru, capital of the state of Johor, British Malaya. Local officials would dearly love to pin the guilt for this ghastly crime on a native inhabitant and quickly write it off, but it soon becomes all too troublingly clear that there is no shortage of British and American visitors who wanted the alluring and amoral Ailsa dead, either on account of her fatal beauty or her furtive scheming. In over his head in a murder case concerning colonials, Office Campbell turns to his canny native Malayan assistant, Ismael, to delve into the mysteries of human desire and uncover the shocking truth.
Death Over Her Shoulder (1939): A miasma of murder envelops Nancy Reynolds, a beautiful New Englander alone and in trouble in British Malaya Arriving at an isolated rubber plantation during a heavy downpour, Nancy enters the dark bungalow of the kindly woman, Lydia Bosworth, whom she hopes might help her--only to find Lydia dead on the sofa, most foully murdered. Everywhere the police look, they find only secrets and lies, by no means the least of which concern the frightened and desperate Nancy herself. Cleary this is another case for the canny police investigator Ismael, "one of the smartest detectives in the East." As the bodies pile up on the plantation like bales of rubber and Nancy herself is perilously menaced, Ismael relentlessly tracks the bloody trail of a remorseless killer.
