Morning of Fire by Scott Ridley is the thrilling story of 18th century American explorer and expeditioner John Kedrick as he journeyed for land and trade in the Pacific. Set against the backdrop of one of the most exciting and uncertain times in world history; John Kendrick’s odyssey aboard his sailing ship Lady Washington carries him from the shores of New England across the unexplored waters of the Pacific Northwest to the contentious ports of China and the war-ravaged islands of Hawaii; all while avoiding intrigues and traps from the British and the Spanish. Morning of Fire is riveting American and naval history that brings the era of George Washington; John Adams; and Thomas Jefferson gloriously alive—a tale of danger; adventure; and discovery that fans of Nathaniel Philbrick will not want to miss.

How Liberals (Eventually) Win; If Not Why; and Lots of Fascinating HistoryBy Peter StephensThe book doesn't answer the question the title poses with any depth of analysis. The book might more accurately be titled "How Liberals Win . . ." The title serves as an organizing principle; though: first the conservatives on a given issue attack; then the liberals on the issue counterattack. What the book lacks in political science; it makes up for in history. It contains fascinating; fast-changing quotes and anecdotes as each culture war develops. I learned a lot.Of course; there are echoes of our current culture wars in the accusations and strategies Mr. Prothero cites from earlier culture wars. This is; in effect; quite heartening; if only because we survived those earlier culture wars.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Glimmer of hopeBy judith louise smithWell researched.
