"Fascinating.The entire book comes at the reader with breakneck speed." - Minneapolis Star Tribune. "Spectacular.a fast-moving, immensely readable, and even warmhearted account of the battle to save Britain." - The Christian Science Monitor. "Erik Larson has done it again. [He] has once more captured an iconic historical moment and brought it vividly to life." - Andrew Roberts, author of Churchill: Walking with Destiny. "The #1 New York Times bestselling author delivers a fresh and compelling portrait of leadership in a time of crisis. On Winston Churchill's first day as prime minister, Hitler invaded Holland and Belgium. Poland and Czechoslovakia had already fallen, and the Dunkirk evacuation was just two weeks away. For the next twelve months, Hitler would wage a relentless bombing campaign, killing 45,000 Britons. It was up to Churchill to hold the country together and persuade President Franklin Roosevelt that Britain was a worthy ally - and willing to fight to the end. In The Splendid and the Vile, Erik Larson shows, in cinematic detail, how Churchill taught the British people "the art of being fearless." It is a story of political brinkmanship, but it's also an intimate domestic drama set against the backdrop of Churchill's prime-mimisterial country home, Chequers; his wartime retreat, Ditchley, where he and his entourage go when the moon is brighest and the bombing threat is highest; and of course 10 Downing Street in London. Drawing on diaries, original archival documents, and once-secret intelligence reports - some released only recently - Larson provides a new lens on London's darkest year through the day-to-day experience of Churchill and those closest to him: his wife, Clementine; their youngest daughter, Mary, who chafes against her parents' wartime protectiveness; their son, Randolph, and his beautiful, unhappy wife, Pamela; Pamela's illicit lover, a dashing American emissary; and the advisers in Churchill's "Secret Circle," to whom he turns in the hardest moments. The Splendid and the VIle takes readers out of today's political dysfunction and back to a time of true leadership, when - in the face of unrelenting horror - Churchill's eloquence, courage, and perseverance bound a country, and family, together." - from the inner front jacket flap. Bachman, Barbara M. (book design); Ward, Jeffrey L. (map); Brand, Christopher (jacket design) (illustrator).

Add to basketHardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. As new condition blue boards, black spine and copper spine lettering contained in an as new condition non price-clipped color illustrated dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books by Erik Larson; Author Dedication; Preliminary Page Quotes by Abraham Lincol…n etc.; Dark Magic (A Note To Readers); Sources and Acknowledgments; Bibliography; Notes; Index and About the Author. Illustrated with black-and-white map. "The #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Splendid and the Vile plunges us into the simmering crisis that finally tore a deeply divided nation in two. On November 6, 1860, Abraham Lincoln became the flunky victor in a tight race for president. The country was bitterly at odds; Southern extremists were moving ever closer to destroying the Union, with one state after another seceding and Lincoln powerless to stop them. Slavery fueled the conflict, but somehow the passion of North and South came to focus on a lonely federal fortress in Charleston Harbor: Fort Sumter. Master storyteller Erik Larson offers a gripping account of the chaotic months between Lincoln's election and the Confederacy's shelling of Sumter - a period marked by tragic errors and miscommunications, enflamed egos and craven ambitions, personal tragedies and betrayals. Lincoln himself wrote that the trilas of these five months were "so great that, could I have anticipated them, I would not have believed it possible to survive them." At the heart of this suspense-filled narrative are Major Robert Anderson, Sumter's commander and a former slave owner sympathetic to the South but loyal to the Union; Edmund Ruffin, a vain and bloodthirsty radical who stirs secessionist ardor at every opportunity; and Mary Boykin Chesnut, wife of a prominent planter, conflicted over both marriage and slavery and seeing parallels between them. In the middle of it all is the overwhelmed Lincoln, battling with his duplicitous secretary of state, William Seward, as he tries desperately to avert a war that he fears is inevitable - one that will eventually kill 750,000 Americans. Drawing on diaries, secret communiques, slave ledgers, and plantation records, Larson gives us a political horror story that captures the forces that led America to the brink - a dark reminder that we often don't see a cataclysm coming until it's too late." - from the inner front jacket flap. Bachman, Barbara M. (book design); Kochman, Anna (jacket design); O'Brien, Tim (jacket illustration; Subin, Nina (author photograph) (illustrator).

Paperback. Condition: New. This comparative historical study explores the broad sociocultural factors at play in the relationships among U.S. obscenity laws and literary modernism and naturalism in the early twentieth century. Putting obscenity case law's crisis of legitimation and modernism's crisis of representation into dialo…gue, Erik Bachman shows how obscenity trials and other attempts to suppress allegedly vulgar writing in the United States affected a wide-ranging debate about the power of the printed word to incite emotion and shape behavior.Far from seeking simply to transgress cultural norms or sexual boundaries, Bachman argues, proscribed authors such as Wyndham Lewis, Erskine Caldwell, Lillian Smith, and James T. Farrell refigured the capacity of writing to evoke the obscene so that readers might become aware of the social processes by which they were being turned into mass consumers, voyeurs, and racialized subjects. Through such efforts, these writers participated in debates about the libidinal efficacy of language with a range of contemporaries, from behavioral psychologists and advertising executives to book cover illustrators, magazine publishers, civil rights activists, and judges.Focusing on case law and the social circumstances informing it, Literary Obscenities provides an alternative conceptual framework for understanding obscenity's subjugation of human bodies, desires, and identities to abstract social forces. It will appeal especially to scholars of American literature, American studies, and U.S. legal history.
