Description:

Originally published in two volumes in 1899, The River War has been out of print in its original, unabridged version since it was shortened to one volume in 1902. Only 3,000 copies were printed, and the first edition costs thousands of dollars today. The original version abounded in colorful stories about Churchill, controversial judgments on his contemporaries (especially his commanding officer, Lord Kitchener), and thoughts on Islamic fundamentalism and British imperialism. Because they were left out of every subsequent edition, they are all but unknown today, even to scholars. The 1899 edition was illustrated with drawings, photogravures, and colored maps that disappeared with the 1902 abridgment.Read MoreTelling Stories that MatterThe late historian Marvin O Connell left a legacy of brilliant prose and pictures of the past, and in this book the reader at long last has access to O Connell s own story. Fr. Bill Miscamble, a noted historian and scholar in his own right, attributes to O Connell the title Master above all on account of his ability to know what matters and then write about it in the way that all great stories are told. Read MoreAmong all the fifty-six men who have served as New York s governor, none was more complicated, self-righteous, pugilistic, and exasperating than Mario Cuomo.As governor, Mario Cuomo is remembered most for his advocacy of the personally-opposed-but position on abortion that led to confrontations with Catholic Church hierarchy, and for dithering about his presidential ambitions, that led the media to dub him the Hamlet on the Hudson. His political style reminded many of Machiavelli; Cuomo styled himself a successor to St. Thomas More.In this political profile, George J. Marlin sets the record straight on Mario Cuomo.Read MoreThis book rises out of Dr. Kevin Hart s 2020 Aquinas Lecture at the University of Dallas.Contemplation and Kingdomseeks to retrieve aspects of Richard of St. Victor's treatment of contemplation, principally inDe arca mystica, and does so by weighing Thomas Aquinas's reservations about this treatment in theSumma theologi . Is Aquinas right to object, as Augustine does inDe Doctrina Christiana, that our contemplation should go directly to God and not be stalled in the consideration of the natural world? What relation is there between Jesus's preaching of the Kingdom and the contemplation of God? Is the contemplative life consistent with Jesus's injunction to love both God and neighbor? These are the principal questions considered in the book.Read MoreThe French Revolution Confronts Pius VIThe writings of Pope Pius VI, head of the Catholic Church during the most destructiveperiod of the French Revolution, were compiled in two volumes by M.N.S. Guillon andpublished in 1798 and 1800. But during the Revolution, the reign of Napoleon, and thevarious revolutionary movements of the 19th century, there were extraordinary efforts todestroy writings that critiqued the revolutionary ideology. Many books and treatises, ifthey survived the revolution or the sacking from Napoleon s armies. To this day, nopublic copy of Guillon s work exists in Paris.Read More
