Описание: The ostensible goal of the controversial Kilpatrick-Dahlgren Raid on Richmond (February 28-March 3, 1864) was to free some 13,000 Union prisoners of war held in the Confederate capital. But orders found on the dead body of the raid's subordinate commander, Colonel Ulric Dahlgren, point instead to a plot to capture or kill Confederate president Jefferson Davis and set Richmond ablaze. What really happened, and how and why, are debated to this day. Kill Jeff Davis offers a fresh look at the failed raid and mines newly discovered documents and little-known sources to provide definitive answers. In this detailed and deeply researched account of the most famous cavalry raid of the Civil War, author Bruce M. Venter describes an expedition that was carefully planned but poorly executed. A host of factors foiled the raid: bad weather, poor logistics, inadequate command and control, ignorance of the terrain, the failures of supporting forces, and the leaders' personal and professional shortcomings. Venter delves into the background and consequences of the debacle, beginning with the political maneuvering orchestrated by commanding brigadier general Judson Kilpatrick to persuade President Abraham Lincoln and Secretary of War Edwin Stanton to approve the raid. Venter's examination of the relationship between Kilpatrick and Brigadier General George A. Custer illuminates the reasons why the flamboyant Custer was excluded from the Richmond raid. In a lively narrative describing the multiple problems that beset the raiders, Kill Jeff Davis uncovers new details about the African American guide whom Dahlgren ordered hanged; the defenders of the Confederate capital, who were not just the ""old men and young boys"" of popular lore; and General Benjamin F. Butler's expedition to capture Davis, as well as Custer's diversionary raid on Charlottesville. Venter's thoughtful reinterpretations and well-reasoned observations put to rest many myths and misperceptions. He tells, at last, the full story of this hotly contested moment in Civil War history.

Описание: A New York Times Bestseller & the Basis for the Hit Showtime DocuseriesMurder in the Bayou is a New York Times bestselling chronicle of a high-stakes investigation into the murders of eight women in a troubled Southern parish that is "part murder case, part corruption expos , and part Louisiana noir" (New York magazine). Between 2005 and 2009, the bodies of eight women were discovered in Jennings, Louisiana, a bayou town of 10,000 in the Jefferson Davis parish. The women came to be known as the Jeff Davis 8, and local law enforcement officials were quick to pursue a serial killer theory, stirring a wave of panic across Jennings' class-divided neighborhoods. The Jeff Davis 8 had been among society's most vulnerable--impoverished, abused, and mired with mental illness. They engaged in sex work as a means of survival. And their underworld activity frequently occurred at a decrepit motel called the Boudreaux Inn. As the cases went unsolved, the community began to look inward. Rumors of police corruption and evidence tampering, of collusion between street and shield, cast the serial killer theory into doubt. But what was really going on in the humid rooms of the Boudreaux Inn? Why were crimes going unsolved and police officers being indicted? What had the eight women known? And could anything be done do stop the bloodshed? Mixing muckraking research and immersive journalism over the course of a five-year investigation, Ethan Brown reviewed thousands of pages of previously unseen homicide files to posit what happened during each woman's final hours delivering a true crime tale that is "mesmerizing" (Rolling Stone) and "explosive" (Huffington Post). "Brown is a man on a mission...he gives the victims more respectful attention than they probably got in real life" (The New York Times). "A must-read for true-crime fans" (Publishers Weekly, starred review), with a new afterword, Murderin the Bayou is the story of an American town buckling under the dark forces of poverty, race, and class division--and a lightning rod for justice for the daughters it lost.

Spouses struggle to balance the demands of careers and preconceived notions of success. Single parents battle with abandonment and absenteeism, requiring them to fill multiple roles. Some families battle infertility or losing loved ones to illness and tragedy. Still others face emotional baggage that carries into their relationships or temptations to indulge in destructive behaviors. Every family faces struggles that threaten to tear them apart, leaving broken hearts and shattered lives in their wake.
This pressure is magnified in families involved in service (e.g. military, first responders, clergy). No Family Left Behind addresses pressures that are prevalent in the lives of military families facing the stress and fatigue of over eighteen years of continuous warfare. These families face the fatigue of deployments and fighting for a nation they love while also fighting to stay together.
The message of this book is applicable for every family dealing with twenty-first-century living. The message of "No Family Left Behind" is that there is hope for struggling families found in principles from scripture. This message will refresh souls that are wearied from the battles of life while offering practical steps that will ensure no family is left behind.
