Khartoum 1885: General Gordon's last stand (Campaign)

ASIN: 185532301X Release Date: 1993-05-27 |
Book Description
Early in 1881 unrest in the Sudan began to crystallise around Mohammed Ibn Ahmed el-Sayyid Abdullah. Proclaiming himself the long-expected Madhi, the Guided One of the Prophet, he preached that the Sudan was to be purged of its Egyptian oppressors. Drawn in by the Egyptian failure to deal with the situation, the British sent General Gordon to organise an evacuation. On reaching Khartoum however, General Gordon believed, incorrectly, that the Madhi could be reasoned with. Instead of negotiating, the Madhi besieged the town for 317 days. This title looks in particular, although not exclusively, at the battles fought by the British columns sent to relieve Khartoum.

The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin: Second Edition (Yale Nota Bene)
Benjamin Franklin Manufacturer: Yale University Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0300098588 |
Book Description
Translated into a dozen languages, printed in hundreds of editions, and read by millions of people, Franklin's autobiography has had an influence perhaps unequaled by any other book by an American writer. Written ostensibly as a letter to his son William, the autobiography offers Franklin's reflections on philosophy and religion, politics, war, education, material success, and the status of women. This edition of the autobiography, prepared by the editors of The Papers of Benjamin Franklin, is drawn with scrupulous care from the original manuscript in Franklin's handwriting now in the Henry E. Huntington Library and Art Gallery. The introduction by Leonard W. Labaree places the autobiography in literary and historical contexts. In a new foreword, Edmund S. Morgan writes about Franklin's dual allegiance as an American and a subject of an English kingand his emergence as a leader of the American Revolution. This edition also includes biographical notes, a chronology of Franklin's life, and an updated bibliography.Customer Reviews:

What Americans Know about Politics and Why It Matters

Why this book Matters.......2004-04-25
Who Knows What and Why.......2004-03-09
This book does sometimes lapse into unnecessarily complex statistical models rife with under-explained regression analyses and coefficients (which should have been relegated to the Appendix section), while the writing style tends to be repetitive and is generally very verbose. Meanwhile, the conclusive analysis of "why it matters" is a bit rushed at the end of the book. But regardless of those issues, this book shows convincingly that the American public's knowledge of their own nation's politics is both more complex than may be expected, but that their knowledge is not always put to the most effective uses. Happily, the authors show that citizens typically do not consign political perceptions into simplistic liberal vs. conservative and black-and-white ideologies, as you may guess from the behavior of politicians and the media. However, we can also see here that the knowledge of the American masses is not frequently put to the best of uses, either by themselves or their leaders. [~doomsdayer520~]

Julius Pflug (Studies in Medieval and Reformation Traditions)
J. V. Pollet Manufacturer: Brill Academic Publishers ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 9004092412 |
Book Description
This book retraces the life and work of Julius Pflug (1499-1564), humanist, man of the church and diplomat. Born from a family of Saxon knights, Julius Pflug was educated mostly in Italy under such masters as Amaseo and Bonamico - hence his excellent Latin style, which even Erasmus admired. During his ecclesiastical career he was provost of Zeitz, dean of Meissen and bishop of Naumburg-Zeitz. As such he attended the Council of Trient in its second period (1551/52). Pflug has attracted the attention of historians mostly on account of his role in the so-called Colloquies of religion designed to put an end to the religious schisms which divided the Church as well as the Empire: Regensburg (1541 and 1546), Worms (1557), over which he presided. After the Peace of Augsburg (1555), he was only able to save the remnants of Catholicism in his own diocese. The interest of this biography is twofold: firstly, it allows us to survey the progress of the Lutheran Reformation, which Catholic apologists such as Pflug, Gropper, Witzel were unable to stop. Secondly, as Pflug was entangled in all the political and religious events of his time, this book reveals a wide range of personalities in Saxony and Germany, and imperial circles at large. On the other hand, if Pflug's work belongs to a period of transition, it retains through its irenic character an interest of topicality, while opinion is more sensitive to conciliation than to opposition of confessional differences. Following the analysis of the sources due to the publication of Pflug's Correspondence by the same author (published by Brill 1969-1982), this monograph gives a more synthetic view, which addresses itself to a larger public. Ce livre est une biographie de Julius Pflug (1499-1564), humaniste, homme d'Eglise et diplomat. D'une famille de chevalier saxons, Julius recut une formation humaniste aupres des maitres italiens; son latin est d'une purete classique qu'admirait meme Erasme. Il eut un carriere ecclesiastique: prevot de Zeitz, doyen de Meissen, enfin eveque de Naumburg-Zietz. A ce titre, il assista au Concile de Trente dans sa 2eme periode. L'histoire a retenu surtout son role dans les Colloques de religion, ou il seconda la politique imperiale de rapprochement entre Catholiques et Lutheriens: Ratisbonne (1541 et 1546), Worms (1557). Depuis la Paix d'Augsbourg (1555), il ne put que tenter de sauver les restes cu catholicisme dans son diocese. L'interet de cette biographie est double: c'est d'abord de nous faire assister au progres de la Reforme lutherienne que les apologistes catholiques, tels que Pflug, Gropper, Witzel, ne parvinrent pas a endiguer; ensuite, comme Pflug a ete mele a tous les evenements politiques et religieux de son temps, nous sommes mis par ce biais en relation avec les personnalites marquantes, tant en Saxe qu'en Allemagne et dans les cercles imperiaux. Par ailleurs, si l'oeuvre de Pflug appartient a une periode de transition, elle regagne par son irenisme un interet d'actualite, alors que l'opinion est plus sensible a la conciliation au'a l'opposition des differences confessionelles. C'est pourquoi a l'analyse des sources fournies par la publication de la Correspondance de Julius Pflug (6 vol.) devait succeder la synthese sous forme d'etude a la fois biographique et theologique. Celle-ci s'adresse a un public elargi, aussi bien specialistes de la Reforme que lettres et etudiants interesses par l'histoire allemande a l'oree de l'age moderne.
