The first book-length selection from the extraordinary unpublished diary of the late-Victorian writer “Michael Field”—the pen name of two female coauthors and romantic partners Michael Field was known to late-Victorian readers as a superb poet and playwright—until Robert Browning let slip Field’s secret identity: in fact, “Michael Field” was a pseudonym for Katharine Bradley (1846–1914) and Edith Cooper (1862–1913), who were lovers, a devoted couple, and aunt and niece.

Though the road is glazed with a fresh layer of rainwater, LEO CINQ-MARS gingerly maneuvers his slightly neglected, 1992 Ford Explorer through the heavy evening traffic. Although seven years have passed since the tumultuous event that violently altered his life, Leo has acclimated himself to an existence of mundane routine and does just enough to get by. His lifestyle seems to scream, “I’m breathing this air, walking this earth, but hating the life I’m living.” His only reason for continuing is the Judeo-Christian fear that if he kills himself, eternal damnation will follow. For seven miserable years, he has been praying for an end to his bitter existence, an existence that was once ...
The Crisis, founded by W.E.B. Du Bois as the official publication of the NAACP, is a journal of civil rights, history, politics, and culture and seeks to educate and challenge its readers about issues that continue to plague African Americans and other communities of color. For nearly 100 years, The Crisis has been the magazine of opinion and thought leaders, decision makers, peacemakers and justice seekers.

The First In Depth Biography of America s Last Five Star General. He was known as the G I General; humble, self effacing, hard working, reflecting the small town virtues of the America whose uniform he wore. But those very virtues have led historians to neglect General Omar Bradley - until now. Bestselling author Jim DeFelice, in this the first ever in depth biography, tells Bradley's full story and argues that the neglected G I General did more than any other to defeat Hitler in World War II. While General George S Patton has garnered much of the glory, General Dwight David Eisenhower has claimed much of the world's respect, and British General Bernard Montgomery has kept the Union Jack flying - DeFelice proves it was the unassuming Bradley who actually developed the strategy and the tactics that won the war in Europe. Meticulously researched using previously untapped documents and unpublished diaries and notes, Omar Bradley, General at War reveals why Bradley, not Patton, deserves most of the credit for America's victories in North Africa.
