Описание: The United States was conceived in business, founded on business, and operated as a businessall because of the entrepreneurial mind of the greatest American businessman of any generation: George Washington. Using Washington's extensive but often overlooked financial papers, Edward G. Lengel chronicles the fascinating and inspiring story of how this self-educated man built the Mount Vernon estate into a vast multi-layered enterprise, prudently managed meager resources to win the war of independence, and, as president, helped establish the national economy on a solid footing. Washington's steadfast commitment to the core economic principles of probity, transparency, careful management, and calculated boldness are timeless lessons that should inspire and instruct investors even today. "First Entrepreneur" will transform how ordinary Americans think about their history. "

Описание: The Final Significant Clashes of the Revolutionary War in the North By the spring of 1780, American fortunes were at a low point. Charleston, South Carolina, fell to British forces on May 12. At Morristown, New Jersey, George Washington's army struggled to recover from the worst winter of the entire war. The national economy failing, his troops short of supplies and on the verge of mutiny, Washington prepared for an all-out assault on British-occupied New York City with the support of approaching French naval and land forces under General Rochambeau. The planned attack was a gamble born of desperation. Washington felt he had to risk it, or face certain defeat. In New York City, German General Wilhelm von Knyphausen sensed opportunity. Commanding there in the absence of British General Henry Clinton, who was on his way back from Charleston, Knyphausen hoped that a quick strike into New Jersey could deliver a staggering blow to Washington's weakened army. The June 7-8 Battle of Connecticut Farms, however, found American militia and Continentals--mostly soldiers of General William Maxwell's New Jersey Brigade--to be shockingly stalwart. In a series of sharp engagements, fought hard on both sides, the Americans convinced Knyphausen to turn back. Clinton, fresh from his victory in the South, tried again on June 23 to end the war. His advance into New Jersey, intended to draw Washington into the open and perhaps capture Morristown, culminated in the Battle of Springfield. Once again, though, Washington's hardened soldiers, led by men like Colonel Israel Angell, Colonel Elias Dayton, and Major "Light Horse Harry" Lee, fought Clinton's forces to a standstill. The Battles for Connecticut Farms and Springfield, 1780, by distinguished historian Edward G. Lengel, chronicles these two important battles that marked a turning of the tide in the Revolutionary War. Drawing on newly available primary sources, the author presents a fresh and engaging interpretation of these events, which exposed King George III's declining military fortunes in North America even as they revealed the resilience of George Washington's army. The Small Battles Series: Military History as Local History Mark Edward Lender and James Kirby Martin, Series Editors Small Battles offers a fresh and important new perspective on the story of America's early conflicts. It was the small battles, not the clash of major armies, that truly defined the fighting during the colonial wars, the American Revolution, the War of 1812, and the hostilities on the frontiers. This is dramatic military history as seen through the prism of local history--history with a depth of detail, a feeling for place, people, and the impact of battle and its consequences that the story of major battles often cannot convey. The Small Battles Series focuses on America's military conflicts at their most intimate and revealing level.

Is Anyone Ever Who You Think They Are?
Hiding from the past just became impossible for Allison Paige, so her only option is to vanish without a trace in the middle of the night, leaving behind two young daughters and the love and security of the life she's known. Who is she? What is she running from? Does her husband have the answers, or is he merely trying to keep his own secrets from coming to light? When local law enforcement accuses Garrett Paige of causing his wife's disappearance, he realizes he has to come clean and reveal the heartbreaking story of his past. While Chief Ed Charles works to uncover the Paige mysteries, FBI Special Agent Chuck Niles is busy with a case of his own. He's staging an elaborate plan to capture the psychopath Antonio Caruso, a sadistic killer whose one purpose is to expose the truth about the cop who hospitalized him for months with a shattered jaw and a burning need for revenge. How does the short career of Chicago PD Detective Finn Harding influence Niles' decisions, and what part does the mousy, yet cagey Emma Reed play in the agent's plan? Most importantly, how do these fragments of lives become the missing pieces of an unsolved puzzle that will change them all forever?
