John DuSolle was a 19th century newspaper editor, a pioneer of the popular press in the United States. In 1845 he travelled to Europe, partly on a diplomatic mission. He recorded his daily travels and observations and they were published in his newspaper, the Philadelphia Spirit of the Times, where they have lain undiscovered until his great, great granddaughter traced them. This book is a compilation of those letters, providing a snapshot of an American's view of Europe in the mid-19th century, a time of tremendous change.

“’To Spurn the Gods: A Vietnam Memoir’ is one of the most interesting and distinctive first-hand accounts of the early years of America’s involvement that I have ever read. Allison parts with the conventional wisdom on a host of subjects, including the role of Catholics in South Vietnam, American journalists and Diem, and the larger geopolitics of the war. Throughout the memoir, the vivid and engaging writing style confers an authenticity to this account that is often lacking in the literature. This book greatly enhances our understanding of the early stages of the Vietnam tragedy.” Thomas Schwartz Professor of History and Political Science Vanderbilt University

Lady Anne Mackintosh was the wife of the Highland chief of Clan Mackintosh during Scotland's last great war against England for Scotland's freedom. While her husband fought on the King of England's side, Lady Anne, age 23, made the unheard-of move of calling the clan to battle, herself, for the other side, for Bonnie Prince Charlie. The prince was Charles Stuart -- "Bonny Prince Charlie" --and the rightful king of Scotland. In those days, any man who raised a regiment became its colonel. Of course Lady Anne did not ride into battle (although the English newspapers accused her of it) but ever since that time she was known to Scotland and to history as "Colonel Anne." With the help of five retainers, she routed the King's army when it threatened her beloved prince.
