A compelling portrait of a unique moment in American history when the ideas of Charles Darwin reshaped American notions about nature, religion, science and race “A lively and informative history.” – The New York Times Book Review Throughout its history America has been torn in two by debates over ideals and beliefs. Randall Fuller takes us back to one of those turning points, in 1860, with the story of the influence of Charles Darwin’s just-published On the Origin of Species on five American intellectuals, including Bronson Alcott, Henry David Thoreau, the child welfare reformer Charles Loring Brace, and the abolitionist Franklin Sanborn. Each of these figures seized on the book’s assertion of a common ancestry for all creatures as a powerful argument against slavery, one that helped provide scientific credibility to the cause of abolition. Darwin’s depiction of constant struggle and endless competition described America on the brink of civil war. But some had difficulty aligning the new theory to their religious convictions and their faith in a higher power. Thoreau, perhaps the most profoundly affected all, absorbed Darwin’s views into his mysterious final work on species migration and the interconnectedness of all living things. Creating a rich tableau of nineteenth-century American intellectual culture, as well as providing a fascinating biography of perhaps the single most important idea of that time, The Book That Changed America is also an account of issues and concerns still with us today, including racism and the enduring conflict between science and religion.

Osprey's Campaign title for the battle of Solferino (1859), which was the decisive action of the Franco-Austrian War. Fought near Lake Garda in northern Italy, it was the largest European battle since Leipzig in 1813 with over a quarter of a million combatants. In the presence of three crowned heads of state - Napoleon III of France, Emperor Franz-Joseph of Austria and Victor Emmanuel II of Piedmont-Sardinia (later the King of all Italy) - the armies clashed in a bitterly fought contest that would leave more than 40,000 dead and give the battle a reputation for savagery that would inspire not only the formation of the Red Cross, but also the first Geneva Convention. As a crucial climax to the Second Italian War of Independence, this title covers the build-up to the battle, including actions at Montebello, Palestro and Magenta that led to the decisive moment of the campaign. Full-color battlescene artwork and detailed maps illustrate this comprehensive account of the commanders, armies, plans and aftermath of one of the bloodiest battles of the period.

In the decades of the early republic, Americans debating the fate of slavery often invoked the specter of disunion to frighten their opponents. As Elizabeth Varon shows, "disunion" connoted the dissolution of the republic--the failure of the founders' effort to establish a stable and lasting representative government. For many Americans in both the North and the South, disunion was a nightmare, a cataclysm that would plunge the nation into the kind of fear and misery that seemed to pervade the rest of the world. For many others, however, disunion was seen as the main instrument by which they could achieve their partisan and sectional goals. Varon blends political history with intellectual, cultural, and gender history to examine the ongoing debates over disunion that long preceded the secession crisis of 1860-61.

For over the past 30 years, I've worked in many key positions in broadcast journalism, as a TV news reporter, news director, anchorman, and, for the past 20 years, the producer and host of my own talk radio program. It has been quite a journey and all during that times I really never stop wanting to know the realities of news stories, large and small. Who?, What?, Where?, How?, When?... and, most importantly, Why? When applying those timeless questions towards the crucial subject of History, I have seldom been satisfied with the 'official explanations' for my inquiries and questions. The 'truth' is just not 'out there' nor is it accessible. There is too much sleight-of-hand and structural criminality. That's one reason I am so gratified that one of the most remarkable, insightful, truthful historians of today, M S King, has tackled the murky, imponderable subject of revisionist history, (realistic history that is) with his stunning epic, “Planet Rothschild”. Though I am generally cautious in bestowing blessings upon the work of others, 'NWO Forbidden History' caught my attention for a number of reasons. Through his writings submitted to Rense.com, and also from his 'tour d' force' guest appearance on my show, King's mastery of the subject, formidable writing talent, and unique ability to break down the complex into simple bites - were already known to me. I was pleased when I learned of his project to reformat his Internet Classic into a hard copy version. As my regular listeners and readers are by now well aware, the world situation becomes gloomier by the day. It is only through a clear understanding of the past, that we can truly understand the present, and the dark future that is being planned for us. By distilling conspiratorial history into easy-to-understand, illustrated mini essays, “Planet Rothschild” serves as the perfect reference guide to help you navigate through the sea of lies which have been fed to us since childhood, and continue to be fed to us each day. “Planet Rothschild” makes an utterly unique and important contribution to the fields of economics and history - a contribution which we can all appreciate, and all understand.
