BOOK EXCERPT:
This study traces the impact of the American Revolution and of the international war it precipitated on the political outlook of each section of Irish society. Morley uses a dazzling array of sources - newspapers, pamphlets, sermons and political songs, including Irish-language documents unknown to other scholars and previously unpublished - to trace the evolving attitudes of the Anglican, Catholic and Presbyterian communities from the beginning of colonial unrest in the early 1760s until the end of hostilities in 1783. He also reassesses the influence of the American revolutionary war on such developments as Catholic relief, the removal of restrictions on Irish trade, and Britain's recognition of Irish legislative independence. Morley sheds light on the nature of Anglo-Irish patriotism and Catholic political consciousness, and reveals the extent to which the polarities of the 1790s had already emerged by the end of the American war.

BOOK EXCERPT:
The birth of the American Republic was indeed a "shot heard round the world." Not only was it of major international significance a:t the time, but it remains an event of continuing interest and influence in the contemporary world. It is therefore not surprising that the American Revolution is included in the curriculum of the school systems of most nations. This set of selections from the history texts of 13 of these nations is not the first nor will it be the last effort by educators to gather the curricular perceptions of other countries about key events or periods in American history. Indeed, as the appendix reveals, the Office of Education published its first report more than 80 years ago on how the American Revolutionary War was taught in the schools of other nations. The particular merit of the present compilation is that it provides American teachers with valuable contemporary source material not otherwise readily available for teaching about the American Revolution, especially during the period of the Bicentennial Celebration. Teachers interested in inquiry learning, a comparative approach to history, and/or international understanding can utilize the collection in a variety of ways to help students develop their analytical skills and broaden their understanding of American history and of factors which contribute to intercultural communication.

BOOK EXCERPT:
"A regimental surgeon promoted to hospital director in the War of 1812, Joseph Lovell, MD, became the first Army staff-level surgeon general. This volume in Borden's history of medicine series is an in-depth analysis of how Lovell's report on Army medicine just after the war gave rise to innovations, from focus on the soldier's welfare and preventive medicine to accurate epidemiology and experimental research, that formed the organizational and functional principles of today's professional and effective Medical Department"--Provided by publisher.

BOOK EXCERPT:
This engaging, knowledgeable book traces the American path France has followed since resolving its searing Algerian conflict in 1962. Barnett Singer convincingly demolishes two pervasive clichés about modern France: first, that the country has never been fit to fight wars, including wars on terror; and second, that the French have always been and remain overwhelmingly anti-American. The end of the war led to an important sea change, clearing the way for France to embrace American culture, especially rock 'n' roll, and more generally, an American-style emphasis on personal happiness. The author argues that today's France, wounded by the loss of traditions and stability, is increasingly pro-American, clinging to trends from across the Atlantic as to a lifeline.
