The Devil in the White City: A Saga of Magic and Murder at the Fair that Changed America | Summary

Book Preview:

In 1912, Daniel Burnham and his family are aboard the RMS Olympic, the second largest cruise ship in the world and sister ship to the Titanic. Burnham has gained fame and wealth from aiding in the construction of the World's Fair at Chicago in 1893. Nearly two decades later, Burnham is 62 years old and unable to enjoy the cruise ship outside of his room due to his foot injury. While he's confined, Burnham delivers a message to Frank Millet, a dear friend aboard the Titanic. In light of the Titanic's accident, the message is rejected. This news distresses Burnham, because Millet was one of the only living supporters of the Chicago Fair since its completion in 1893, and inspires him to share the events of the era.

Title: A Sense of Power

Subtitle: The Roots of America's Global Role

Author: John A. Thompson

Narrator: James Killavey

Format: Unabridged

Length: 16 hrs and 9 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-21-16

Publisher: University Press Audiobooks

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: History, American

Publisher's Summary:

John A. Thompson takes a long view of America's dramatic rise as a world power, from the late 19th century into the post-World War II era. He shows how American leaders from Wilson to Truman developed an ever more capacious understanding of the national interest, and why by the 1940s most Americans came to support the price tag, in blood and treasure, attached to strenuous efforts to shape the world. The beliefs and emotions that led them to do so reflected distinctive aspects of U.S. culture, not least the strength of ties to Europe. Consciousness of the nation's unique power fostered feelings of responsibility, entitlement, and aspiration among the people and leaders of the United States.

This original analysis challenges some widely held beliefs about the determinants of United States foreign policy and will bring new insight to contemporary debates about whether the nation should-or must-play so active a part in world politics.

The book is published by Cornell University Press.

Critic Reviews:

"Publication of A Sense of Power is an important moment in the evolution of American diplomatic history." (Jeffrey A. Engel, Director of the Center for Presidential History, Southern Methodist University.)

"This is a wonderful book that all students of international relations must read as they ponder the appropriate role of the United States in world affairs." (Melvyn P. Leffler, University of Virginia)

"John A. Thompson's book is required reading for all those interested not only in how America rose to superpower status, but why it did so." (Richard Fontaine, President of the Center for a New American Security)

Thompson's book is a brilliant review not only of American foreign policy since the late 19th century, but more significantly, of the motivation for that policy. Why has the United States acted as it has in world affairs while evolving from a strong regional power to the world's dominant power? In elegant prose Thompson provides persuasive answers and very effectively skewers many prevailing theories.

Interesting and Important Book for our Times

A sense of Power is a very readable, and sometimes, gripping, history of American foreign policy. For a general reader, like myself, it helps explain the evolution of thought that gave rise to the assumption of the global role America now plays, and illuminates it what happened, why and when during the time between the late 1800's and the Korean War. And many parts of it seem particularly relevant, given today's political debates. I found it a great read and would recommend it highly.

Title: Our Separate Ways

Subtitle: The Fight for the Future of the US-Israel Alliance

Author: Dana H. Allin, Steven N. Simon

Narrator: David Colacci

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11 hrs and 24 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-14-16

Publisher: Tantor Audio

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: History, American

Publisher's Summary:

The future of the relationship between Israel and America is deeply uncertain: The current political leadership of each country is hostile to the other, there is no longer a sense of shared strategic focus, and demographic changes are forcing the countries further apart with every passing year.

Undermining the relationship between Israel and the US is the fact that it was never clearly defined. The ambiguity has been politically helpful but now threatens the future: There is no treaty, no agreed set of obligations, no mutual dependence. So when things get sour, there is nothing to fall back upon except historical memory.

Dana Allin and Steven Simon are among the shrewdest analysts of and practitioners inside the world of US-Israeli diplomacy. They have written an urgent, revelatory book showing the emerging fault lines between two previously staunch allies and the tremendous perils of a schism. And they offer ways in which even at this late, disgruntled, embittered stage, the two sides might yet find a way toward a common future.

The United States and Israel: How the relationship is changing

OUR SEPARATE WAYS is organized into three sections. Its middle and longest section, âThe Crisisâ, reviews the difficult relationship between the Obama administration and the Netanyahu government. Primarily, this discusses the administrationâs efforts to stop the gradual but relentless expansion of the settlements, myriad negotiating shenanigans that prevent progress towards a two-state solution, and the effects of the Arab Spring on the peace process.

Meanwhile, the first section of OSW, âThe Historyâ, is highlighted by its first chapter, which is entitled âIsrael in the Liberal Imaginationâ. And the final section, âThe Futureâ, has two strong chapters: âThe Growing Divideâ and âThe Struggle to Save an Allianceâ.

Eight excerpts from this book that summarize its troubling arguments are:

o âThe U.S.-Israel alliance is not simply under strain; it is at risk of being fundamentally transformed by long-term trends in both countries that will be impossible to stop and difficult to manage. Powerful demographic and cultural currents in Israel and the United States are driving the two countries apart.â

o âOn the American side, the commitment of a postwar generation to the ideals of Zionism is fading as that generation moves toward old age. [Further], four generations of intermarriage [in America] have weakenedâ Jewish identityâ as a cohesive community dedicated to Israelâs security and deeply entangled in its fate.â

o âThis will leave behind a tougher core of Jews who are often orthodox in their religious practice and mainly conservative in their political preferencesâ this will place them outside the political mainstream.â

o âInverse changes are underway in Israel. Today, half of all Israeli preschool children are either ultra-Orthodox or Arab. These are the two fastest growing communities in Israel, and they are also poorly educated.â

o ââ there are political moves to further define the country by its religion.

Title: The Voyage of the Slave Ship Hare

Subtitle: A Journey into Captivity from Sierra Leone to South Carolina

Author: Sean M. Kelley

Narrator: Tom Zingarelli

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 15 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-31-16

Publisher: Tantor Audio

Ratings: 2.5 of 5 out of 3 votes

Genres: History, American

Publisher's Summary:

From 1754 to 1755, the slave ship Hare completed a journey from Newport, Rhode Island, to Sierra Leone and back to the United States - a journey that transformed more than 70 Africans into commodities, condemning some to death and the rest to a life of bondage in North America.

In this engaging narrative, Sean Kelley painstakingly reconstructs this tumultuous voyage, detailing everything from the identities of the captain and crew to their wild encounters with inclement weather, slave traders, and near-mutiny. But most importantly, Kelley tracks the cohort of slaves aboard the Hare from their purchase in Africa to their sale in South Carolina. In tracing their complete journey, Kelley provides rare insight into the communal lives of slaves and sheds new light on the African diaspora and its influence on the formation of African American culture.

In this immersive exploration, Kelley connects the story of enslaved people in the United States to their origins in Africa as never before. Told uniquely from the perspective of one particular voyage, this book brings a slave ship's journey to life, giving us one of the clearest views of the 18th-century slave trade.

Very informative. I didn't realize how many, if any trips, a sloop could make across numerous seas.

Bit of triangular trade history

This narrow scope history of the triangular trade covers practice and conventions of the African slave trade, rather than the more usual considerations of politics and ethics. It's written entirely from the trader's point of view. Except for the popular myth that they expected to be eaten, there's little from the captives being transported.

It's not an easy reading continuous narrative of the voyage, diverting to the Navigation Acts, Stono Rebellion, King George's War, GW and the 'Half King' and various episodes throughout the period from the treaty ending the War of the Spanish Succession to the prelude to Civil War. The text and appendices make it difficult to distinguish between voyage of 1754-5 and the one a year later. Perhaps it doesn't matter as the book seems to be designed to blend them into a single episode.

There's navigation of Captain Godfrey starting in Newport along with some background history. The attempt to describe the trade in the Sierra Leone/Guinea area of Africa leaves more questions than answers. Slavery was apparently promoted by wars resulting from the Futa Jalon Jihad. The captives being non-Muslims.

Some of the reporting comes from Captain John Newton of 'Amazing Grace' fame with interesting background on his career.

Preview:

Kate Andersen Brower's First Women: The Grace and Power of America's Modern First Ladies examines how women from Jackie Kennedy to Michelle Obama have negotiated the personal and political challenges of being married to the president of the United States.

The women who have served as first lady in the modern era have been very different. Jackie Kennedy was a style icon; Lady Bird Johnson was adamantly not one. Nancy Reagan was proud to give up her career in acting in order to support her husband's ambitions; Hillary Clinton extended her own legal and political career by working in Bill Clinton's administration. Rosalynn Carter liked attending cabinet meetings and being in the thick of politics; Michelle Obama has mostly disliked her time in the White House and has been waiting eagerly to return to civilian life.

For all their differences, the first ladies share common experiences....

Title: Unequal Gains

Subtitle: American Growth and Inequality Since 1700

Author: Peter H. Lindert, Jeffrey G. Williamson

Narrator: Brian O'Neill

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 35 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-19-16

Publisher: Recorded Books

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 3 votes

Genres: History, American

Publisher's Summary:

Unequal Gains offers a radically new understanding of the economic evolution of the United States, providing a complete picture of the uneven progress of America from colonial times to today.

While other economic historians base their accounts on American wealth, Peter Lindert and Jeffrey Williamson focus instead on income - and the result is a bold reassessment of the American economic experience. America has been exceptional in its rising inequality after an egalitarian start, but not in its long-run growth. America had already achieved world income leadership by 1700, not just in the 20th century as is commonly thought. Long before independence, American colonists enjoyed higher living standards than Britain - and America's income advantage today is no greater than it was 300 years ago. But that advantage was lost during the Revolution, lost again during the Civil War, and lost a third time during the Great Depression, though it was regained after each crisis. In addition, Lindert and Williamson show how income inequality among Americans rose steeply in two great waves - from 1774 to 1860 and from the 1970s to today - rising more than in any other wealthy nation in the world.

Unequal Gains also demonstrates how the widening income gaps have always touched every social group, from the richest to the poorest. The book sheds critical light on the forces that shaped American income history, and situates that history in a broad global context. Economic writing at its most stimulating, Unequal Gains provides a vitally needed perspective on who has benefited most from American growth, and why.

Acknowledges problem areas with historic data. Very interesting.

The History of US Inequality

Inequality has become a hot button topic not only in left-wing politics but in the field of economics. This has become more evident following the 2008 financial crash that had the global economy in a severe downturn. While we applaud the Occupy Wall-Street movement for pushing inequality in the national spotlight, much credit is owed to the work of economists. The contributions of French economists, Thomas Piketty and Emmanuel Saez, are some of most notable on economic inequality. Recently, Peter Lindert and Jeffrey Williamson published a monograph on American inequality and growth since the colonial period. With the aid of microdata from available sources, the duo compiled time series of inequality reaching back to Colonial America.

While Piketty's work takes wealth into account, Lindert and Williamson focus on income.

Throughout the duration of modern economic growth, the US witnessed fluctuations in income inequality. The colonial period saw egalitarian growth. Following the American Revolution, GDP per capita declined by 30% and was lower than that of Great Britain. Inequality became a feature leading up to the Civil War. By the mid 1900s, inclusive growth began to reemerge. This era is what Lindert and Williamson refer to as the Great Leveling. Great Leveling was halted by the 1970s up until today.

What I like most about this book is that incomes by race are taken into consideration.

Without going into further details, I recommend this book.

Title: The Real Anchorman's Conservative Manifesto

Author: Jack Atherton

Narrator: Jack Atherton

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 16 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-01-16

Publisher: John Atherton

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: History, American

Publisher's Summary:

The local news anchor cited by some (affectionately, we hope) as the inspiration for Ron Burgundy reveals what he couldn't say on TV for 30 years. You'll see why most news reports - local and national - are a distraction from the crises both Democrats and Establishment Republicans are creating:

The solution to all this is what Jack Atherton calls The American Idea. He takes you on a breezy trip through 2,000 years of history to show how individual rights and free markets evolved. You'll see why President Obama, Hillary Clinton, and GOP leaders reject The American Idea, and whether Donald Trump or Ted Cruz really can make America great again.

The Real Anchorman's Conservative Manifesto is a great book for students seldom taught this history, and for everyone eager to be reminded why, for all our challenges, America became that shining city on a hill. Listen to it, and stay classy.

Not much more to learn if you are a student of politics. Nothing new here for me, but it would be a great and interesting read for those who want to learn more about conservatism.

Excellent Conservative Commentary

Great read, Jack is very knowledgeable when it comes to the political landscape. His views inject some much needed common sense into an environment that seems to rarely make any sense. Highly recommended.

Anchorman Redux and Redeemed

I am delighted to have this opportunity to offer some modest comments on Jack (the "real" anchorman) Atherton's splendidly compelling book, The Real Anchorman's Conservative Manifesto which delves into the complex workings of our ever-evolving American ethos and it's challenges: our current cultural and political fragmentation, our ambiguous sense of values, and an erosive economic inequality.

What exactly are our aspirations and goals as a nation and can we once again be a beacon of freedom and hope for a dysfunctional world? Framed within an historical and philosophical context, and energized with much wit and humor, Jack tackles these issues and others in this lucid and provocative "Manifesto."

The author is uniquely qualified to offer a well-reasoned, expertly crafted panorama of some of the challenges we face as a divided nation, their historic precedents and possible remedies. He has faithfully labored in the field of television journalism for thirty years, reconciling his conservative views with those of the prevailing liberal mass media and offering his viewers a finely tuned and well-balanced insight into national and world events. Prior to his journalism career, Jack practiced corporate law in New York City for seven years, studied law and journalism at Columbia, and enjoys a solid grounding in intellectual history from Yale.

And now, at the juncture of a well-earned retirement, he is ready and able to finally "tell it like it is" and offer, for example, an analysis of the ravages wrought by eight years of "hope and change" and incompetence, and the folly of the preceding administration's bungling ineptitude and his frank assessment of the current gaggle of aspirants is no less critical!

Jack Atherton's The Real Anchorman's Conservative Manifesto is at once both witty and profound, light-hearted and self-effacing, and always with a seriousness of intent with an eye to solutions.

Title: Fire and Brimstone: The North Butte Mining Disaster of 1917

Author: Michael Punke

Narrator: William Roberts

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 hrs and 38 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-10-16

Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Limited

Genres: History, American

Publisher's Summary:

From the number-one international best-selling author of The Revenant - the book that inspired the award-winning movie - comes the remarkable true story of the worst mining disaster in American history.

In 1917, the lives of a company of miners changed forever when the underground labyrinth of tunnels in which they worked burst into flames. Within an hour, more than 400 men would be locked in a battle to survive. Within three days, 164 of them would be dead.

Critic Reviews:

"Compelling if horrifying account of the fire and the trapped men is the heart of this yarn, its soul is Punke's historical contextualization." (Publishers Weekly)

Members Reviews:

Great narration

A historical telling of the mine disaster in 1917. A man's lamp gets too close to a cable, the fire starts small but grows. Told from a third party perspective we can follow all the participants includes those inside and outside the mine. I found it to be interesting and informative, and the book also details the history of the mine and the community. It seems well researched, but it also goes off at a tangent slightly by providing information about unions and worker rights and jumps around in time to 1914 then back to 1917. Listening on audio I found this confusing.

The narrator was excellent. He gives a straightforward telling of the book, as appropriate for the subject. But he doesn't make it boring. With a bit more editing and purpose this could have been better, but is well worth a listen.

Title: Nuclear Statecraft

Subtitle: History and Strategy in America's Atomic Age

Author: Francis Gavin

Narrator: Bob Goding

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 37 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-02-16

Publisher: University Press Audiobooks

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 7 votes

Genres: History, American

Publisher's Summary:

In Nuclear Statecraft, Francis J. Gavin challenges key elements of the widely accepted narrative about the history of the atomic age and the consequences of the nuclear revolution.

Gavin reassesses the strategy of flexible response, the influence of nuclear weapons during the Berlin Crisis, the origins of and motivations for US nuclear nonproliferation policy, and how to assess the nuclear dangers we face today. Archival evidence makes it clear that decision makers were more concerned about underlying geopolitical questions than about the strategic dynamic between two nuclear superpowers.

Gavin's rigorous historical work not only tells us what happened in the past but also offers a powerful tool to explain how nuclear weapons influence international relations.

Critic Reviews:

"Nuclear Statecraft is a provocative and fascinating book. The writing is lucid, the analysis tightly woven and sophisticated, and the book's core conclusion... is well argued and compelling. This book makes a significant contribution to the body of scholarly research about the evolution of US nuclear policy." (Janne E. Nolan, Nonproliferation Review)

"Gavin not only succeeds in disentangling postwar nuclear history from the USSoviet rivalry of the Cold War, but provides a deeper and more complex understanding of the long-term effects of nuclear weapons on Great Power relations." (Matthew Jones, International Affairs)

"Francis J. Gavin's elegant and eloquently argued Nuclear Statecraft is a useful and timely reminder to appreciate better the historical origins of the contemporary nuclear world... Nuclear Statecraft is a must acquisition for academic and public libraries." (Journal of American History)

Frank Gavin is a fantastic writer. This insightful book is a must-read for anyone who is interested in nuclear statecraft. 5 Stars!

Refreshing but issues involved

Francis Gavin brings about a new look to the nuclear age, the Cold War, and what has happened since. He contradicts what theorists have been saying for the past 70 years, and what he says does have stitches of truth but I believe he pulls them out too far.

History and Strategy in America's Atomic Age

Excellent analytical work from the period of the Cold War. A critical look at this period, which does not always correspond to the well-established assessments. Good work, I enjoyed it. Francis J. Gavin's name is a guarantee of quality.

A vitally important book on nuclear weapons and American foreign policy

This is one of those rare books which successfully integrates extensive historical research with sharp insights into the policy process. Gavin has written a succinct history of the nuclear age that takes issue with much of the conventional wisdom and has important implications for current nuclear-related questions such as Iran and North Korea. I recommend it enthusiastically.

Amazing insight

A refreshing and informative take on an important subject. Dr. Gavin's dedication to nuclear history and the cold war have made me a fan of his writing for years. A must read.

Publisher: Dreamscape Media, LLC

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 6 votes

Genres: History, American

Publisher's Summary:

Since Victoria Woodhull launched her symbolic bid for the presidency in 1872, dozens of women have sought the presidency over the past 150 years. Their quest began long before women won the vote, and it unfolded over decades when a woman's pursuit of any higher political office was met with prejudice, mockery, and hostility. Even after women started voting in 1920, they remained shut out of rooms where presidential candidacies were often born. Whether a woman will break through the glass ceiling during the current election cycle is uncertain, Fitzpatrick acknowledges. But it will happen sooner or later.

Found this book interesting, well researched and very engaging. I learned so much about the women described in the book as well as about the history of women in politics. Very relevant on today's election environment. I highly ecommend it.

An Eye-Popping, Jaw-Dropping Page Turner

The only time I could put this book down was when I needed to process the horrifying ways in which history repeats itself. Margaret Chase Smith dealing with Senator Joseph McCarthy is eerily similar to what's going on today with right wing bullies. And what Shirley Chisholm put up with, both from feminism's leading lights as well as Richard Nixon's dirty tricksters will take your breath away.

Three Historic Women Brought Alive in The Highest Glass Ceiling

Wonderfully written book introducing us to three women presidential candidates from various eras in history. You come away from this read admiring the three women and the author who skillfully describes their quests, their challenges and their ultimate defeats.

snide innuendo and dirty tricks to discredit yet another woman candidate

The struggles of three past women presidential candidates serves as a warning to all voters as this election season, which will undoubtedly ratchet up hateful rhetoric, snide innuendo and dirty tricks to discredit yet another woman candidate. It remains to be seen whether the country has learned anything since 1920 when women got the vote. The next several months are sure to tell the story.
