Overcoming
The author rose from an impoverished Minneapolis ghetto to become one of the city's leading voices for equality. The founding chief executive of the Minneapolis Urban Coalition and a twenty-year member of the city's school board, he was also one of the first black executives at a major Twin Cities corporation. Along the way he overcame polio, became the region's most successful amateur-boxing coach, led a church merger, founded a bank, served on the U.S. Olympic boxing committee, and campaigned as the city's first black mayoral candidate.
Racial Resentment in the Political Mind
"The recent United States presidential election as well as the responses to the protests about the death of Blacks at the hands of the police has brought forward the question of racism among white voters.

In the English-speaking world, few are familiar with anything other than his major, though unfinished and posthumously published, opus On War, which is available in numerous translations. Although the corpus of Clausewitz's writings on the topic of warfare is far greater, most of these texts have never been translated. In Clausewitz on Small War, Christopher Daase and James W. Davis begin to redress this unfortunate state of affairs. In this volume they have assembled and translated Clausewitz's most important texts devoted to the analy...
