From Gallipoli to Kokoda and beyond - the story of our greatest general and the power, politics and tragedy of command General Sir Thomas Blamey, Commander-in-Chief of Australian Military Forces during World War II, was our highest-ranking soldier and arguably our most controversial.Blamey was an abrasive and shrewd commander, who could act both decisively and brutally, creating enemies within and outside the military. That reputation, encouraged in the years after the war by his rivals, has followed him ever since and, unlike many other military heroes, his contributions to Australia's defence have been downplayed.In this re-evaluation of our most senior military commander, Brent Taylor traces Blamey's career, describing the highs and the lows, and dispassionately applies modern business benchmarks to calculate his success as a leader in one very key area: how many lives saved? In Taylor's estimation, more than 30,000 Diggers' lives.Without glossing over Blamey's prickly character or the controversial incidents he was involved in, Taylor assesses how Blamey - schooled in battle under John Monash - dealt with the towering political and military leaders of the day, including a domineering General Douglas MacArthur, an antagonistic Australian government, a wily British prime minister and a ruthless Japanese command, to lead Australian troops to success while also keeping them safe.In challenging the popular view of Blamey as a testy, aloof man out of touch with and disloyal to his troops, Taylor declares him a hero who always stood up to foreign agendas to get the best outcomes for the Diggers and his country.

""A Prophet In Ebony: The Life Story Of E. W. Perry"" is a biography written by J. M. Gaskin. The book tells the story of E. W. Perry, an African American man who became a prominent religious leader in the early 20th century. Perry was born in rural Georgia in 1870 and was raised in poverty. Despite his humble beginnings, he showed an early interest in religion and became a preacher at a young age. Perry eventually moved to Boston, where he founded his own church and became known for his fiery sermons and charismatic personality. He also became involved in the civil rights movement and was a vocal advocate for the rights of African Americans. The book provides a detailed look at Perry's life and legacy, as well as the social and political context in which he lived. It is a fascinating and inspiring story of a man who overcame adversity to become a leader and role model for his community.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Trouble, Trials Trouble, Trials, and Vexations: the Journal and Correspondence of Rachel Perry Moores , Texan Plantation Mistress

Trouble, Trials Trouble, Trials, and Vexations: the Journal and Correspondence of Rachel Perry Moores , Texan Plantation Mistress

State House Press / McWhiney Foundation Press

pokkari
Rachel Moores and her husband David operated a cotton plantation in the bottoms of the Sulphur River in North East Texas. From that vantage point, they viewed the changing fortunes of Texas as the American Civil War opened their privileged lifestyle. David went to war while the task of operating this large farming enterprise fell to Rachel. More than 2000 acres and dozens of enslaved people fell to her to manage. This diary chronicles her struggles and provides a priceless voice of a woman having to adapt and overcome the adversities of that violent age. Female perspectives often get overlooked when discussing the American Civil War and the effects of distant events often had catastrophic implications on the folks back home. Rachel’s Moores diary provides a priceless window into the changing realities of Texans who once bet their futures on the value of cotton. This diary and journal will be an important addition to the scholarship about elite white women and their lives in the antebellum south. This manuscript is unique in that is is an extensive and detailed look into the life of a woman of the slave-owning class in frontier Texas, offering not only her vivid view of the slave system but of the daily life of a plantation mistress and of an invalid seeking a cure for her disease from New Orleans to New York.
