Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The Edenton Rebellion - Women Who Defied an EmpirePart of the Hidden Histories of the Tar Heel State Series by author Robin Crumpler They risked everything-with no right to vote, no political power, and no legal protection. But in 1774, a group of women from North Carolina helped change the course of American history. In the quiet coastal town of Edenton, North Carolina, fifty-one bold women did what no colonial woman had ever dared: they publicly defied the British Crown, risking the death penalty for treason. Signing their names to a political petition boycotting British tea and goods, these women launched one of the earliest organized acts of female resistance in the American colonies-now known as the Edenton Tea Party. The Edenton Rebellion - Women Who Defied an Empire brings this little-known Revolutionary War story to life with gripping historical detail and narrative flair. Readers will discover how these women's actions shocked both American patriots and British loyalists, made headlines across the Atlantic, and helped ignite the spirit of independence in the American South. This book is perfect for fans of: - Revolutionary War history- Women's roles in early America- North Carolina history- True stories of defiance and courage- Local hidden histories with national impactBased on extensive research using colonial newspapers, letters, and original petitions, this compelling account explores the social risks, political implications, and long-term legacy of the Edenton Tea Party. The book also examines how the event was ridiculed in British cartoons and dismissed in American textbooks-until now. This is the first in a series of books on North Carolina history. Whether you're a teacher, student, or curious reader, this nonfiction narrative offers a fresh look at the American Revolution through the eyes of the women who lived it. About the Author>Robin is also the author of Disaster! U.S. Foreign Policy Since the End of the Cold War (nonfiction) and The Cadence (political thriller), and writes children's books under the name 'Uncle Robin,' including the Gary the Gator and the Beulaville Cousins series.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Boston, 1718. A man is found drowned inside a locked, bone-dry room - and the only person asking the right questions is a twelve-year-old printer's apprentice named Benjamin Franklin.The town calls the death a judgment. Ben calls it a question. And the answer is hidden inside a plain black book with no title and no author - page after page of cipher that should not be possible to write. It is an almanac. But it does not guess the weather the way the penny almanacs do. It seems to know - storms, fires, shipwrecks, and the way fear moves through a frightened town, set down in advance, exactly right.Ben has always been too curious for his own good. Now that curiosity has been noticed. There are people who have kept books like this hidden for a hundred years - and people who would use one to drown a ship and call it fate - and both have turned their attention to the boy learning to read the cipher by candlelight.To stop them, Ben can't out-fight anyone or out-wait anyone. He has only what a printer's son has always had: a press, a plain fact, and the nerve to put the two together before a winter storm and a town's fear are turned into a weapon.Young Benjamin Franklin and the Black Almanac is the first book of The Lantern Society Chronicles - historical mystery adventures for readers ages 10 and up, and for the grown-ups who still love a smart, atmospheric story. There are no wizards here and no magic. Only real, candle-lit colonial America, a cipher worth killing for, two secret societies, and one ordinary boy - long before he was a great man - discovering that the most dangerous thing in the world is the truth, plainly printed.Real history. Hidden secrets. One boy who was never meant to find them.Begin the series with Book One. About the Author R. C. Crumpler writes about the past - the history of war and nations, and the quiet decisions that shape ordinary lives - and about the gaps in the record where a storyteller is free to imagine what the documents never set down. The Lantern Society Chronicles grew out of exactly such a gap: the real, candle-lit Boston of 1718, a real twelve-year-old printer's apprentice named Benjamin Franklin, and the invented secret folded quietly inside it.He holds a history degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and is a lifelong, restless researcher, drawn to forgotten corners of the past and to the way large hidden forces press on the lives of people who never see them coming. Before he wrote books he served a long career in the United States Navy and Army - work that left him with a deep, firsthand skepticism of bureaucracy and of conventional wisdom, a skepticism his young hero, Ben, would recognize at once.R. C. has written for both adult and younger readers, in fiction and in history. Whatever the audience, his books share one aim: the ground truth, plainly told - or, in historical fiction, real history combined with the imagination needed to fill in what the record never kept.He writes from coastal North Carolina, where he runs several small businesses, teaches, and coaches football, and spends as much time as possible with his family.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Disaster! U.S. Foreign Policy Since the End of the Cold War is a sharp, unapologetic takedown of decades of failed American interventionism. Written by retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel Robin Crumpler, the book exposes how post-Cold War foreign policy-driven by moral crusades and bloated aid programs-has drained U.S. resources, propped up corrupt regimes, and left American taxpayers holding the bag. With updated insights following Trump's 2024 re-election and the explosive findings from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Disaster! makes the urgent case for an 'America First' overhaul: less foreign aid, fewer military entanglements, and a renewed focus on domestic priorities. If you're tired of watching Washington fund endless wars while ignoring problems at home, this book is your rallying cry.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Note: This is not the book of similar title originally written by Homer H. Hickam, Jr. TORPEDO JUNCTION The U-Boat War off North Carolina's Coast>In the first six months of 1942, German U-boats turned the shipping lanes off North Carolina into one of the deadliest stretches of water in the Atlantic - a slaughter that often unfolded in plain sight of American beaches. While American boys trained for D-Day in distant camps, German U-boats prowled the shipping lanes between Cape Hatteras and Cape Lookout, sinking nearly four hundred Allied merchant ships in plain sight of Outer Banks fishermen. Tankers burned within view of summer cottages. Bodies washed ashore at Nags Head, Ocracoke, and Topsail. Roughly five thousand Allied sailors died within sight of American sand. The U.S. Navy hid the scale of the disaster from the public for months. Most Americans never knew. Torpedo Junction recovers the story they hid.Drawing on declassified Office of Naval Intelligence interrogations, U.S. Navy and Coast Guard action reports, German Kriegstagebücher, and NOAA's underwater archaeology of the wrecks themselves, this book reconstructs the campaign that ran from January's City of Atlanta to July's running gun battle of Convoy KS-520. You will meet Reinhard Hardegen of U-123, who opened Operation Drumbeat off Hatteras. Lt. Cmdr. Hamilton Howe of USS Roper, who scored the first American kill of a German submarine in U.S. waters. Lt. Cmdr. Maurice Jester of USCGC Icarus, the Coast Guard skipper who took the first German naval prisoners of the war. The fishermen of Sneads Ferry and Hatteras who hauled survivors from burning oil. And the men who never came home, named and remembered. This is also the story of how the war ended off the Carolina coast. Convoys. Fire-control towers at Fort Fisher. Cherry Point patrol bombers. The WASPs at Camp Davis. The shipyard at Wilmington that built 243 Liberty ships. The campaign that began as a slaughter ended, by August 1942, with the U-boats driven away. How that reversal happened - who saw it coming, who refused to act, and who finally did the work - is the heart of this book. For readers of Michael Gannon and Erik Larson. ABOUT THE AUTHOR>Torpedo Junction is the first volume in his Hidden Histories of the Tar Heel State series - a project to recover the parts of his home state's past that have been overlooked, hidden, or actively forgotten.…
