Ogletree (Books) (Hardcover) | New & Future Releases |  Rough Crossings: Britain, the Slaves and the American Revolution by Simon Schama (Author) (Hardcover - April 25, 2006) Other Edition(s): Audio CD ~ The myths we create about our past to edify our young and swell our national pride are nearly always noble and simple. History is much messier, often complicating our myths with inconvenient facts that ruin their simplicity and muddy their nobility. Simon Schama's book Rough Crossings is a case in point. It is the story of the slaves of the American patriots who were not included in the liberty that their masters fought for, or in the stirring phrases of the Declaration of Independence - slaves whose only path to liberty was to take up arms and fight alongside the British against their masters, and against the cause of a liberty that would keep them in bondage. It is a most interesting and disturbing story that neither begins nor ends with the American Revolution. | | 101 People Who Are Really Screwing America by Jack Huberman (Author) (Paperback - May 28, 2006) Best-selling author Jack Huberman provides us with an entertaining and informative bestiary of the real crooks, liars and cheats who are screwing up America. These are not just the people making asses of themselves or getting more media attention than they deserve. Huberman restores the likes of Fox News CEO Roger Ailes, James A. Baker III, Gary Bauer, Brent Bozell, Ann Coulter, Karen Hughes, Karl Rove, Leo Strauss and Ralph Reed to their rightful place in the national hall of shame, along with such oozing pustules of cultural putrefaction as the Olson Twins, Mel Gibson, William Bennett, Katie Couric, Matt Drudge, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Dr. Phil, Dr. Laura, Oprah Winfrey, Teletubbies, the Simpson sisters, and God. | | More New Releases | Featured | | America's First Dynasty by Richard Brookhiser | | American Greats by Robert A.
