Roster: Fourth Regiment New Hampshire Volunteers (Classic Reprint)
(Excerpt from Roster: Fourth Regiment New Hampshire Volunt...)
Excerpt from Roster: Fourth Regiment New Hampshire Volunteers Having been appointed by the officers of the Regimental Association to compile and arrange for publication a roster of the Fourth Regiment. New Hampshire Volunteers, I submit the following work as the result of my labors. To ascertain the dead and locate the living of so large a number of men after over thirty years of separation, scattered not only throughout this country but in distant lands, would be a task impossible if a perfect roster was demanded, but to approach that standard as near as possible is all that I have attempted, and this could not be done were it not that the preparation of this work has been carried on for a long series of years. Great care has been taken to avoid errors. Some have been undoubtedly made. The few weeks given to prepare for the press leaves it not as complete as we could wish, but as it is, a more complete roster, accounting for so many of the original men and volunteer recruits, has not yet been published by any regiment that served in the late war.

Mr. and Mrs Grassroots: How Barack Obama, Two Bookstore Owners, and 300 Volunteers Did It
(Chicago community activists John Presta and his wife Mich...)
Chicago community activists John Presta and his wife Michelle were running their small, popular independent bookstore, Reading on Walden, when Barack Obama's campaign asked them to help in his 2000 race for Congress. Instantly impressed after meeting Obama, the Prestas came on board and stayed on board after his loss. An engaging, detailed, first person account of the Prestas' personal interactions with Obama and how they, together with Obama and his early campaign workers, slowly and steadily built a grassroots organization around a highly committed group of some 300 volunteers. The Prestas shortly became known as "Mr. and Mrs. Grassroots" in the Obama campaign, and Obama himself called them his "southwest side powerhouses." This book peels the layers off the early years of Obama's political career, detailing how he and individual grassroots and "netroots" organizers built a successful campaign despite the Chicago political machine and won the 2004 Senate race, causing immediate speculation about Obama for President. With great insight into a younger Barack Obama's character, vision, self confidence and determination, Mr. and Mrs. Grassroots shows how change comes slowly, gradually, incrementally, and suddenly, and how one person - or two - can make a difference that changes the world.

History of the Thirty-Third Indiana Veteran Volunteer Infantry During the Four Years of Civil War, from Sept, 16, 1861, to July 21, 1865 (Classic Reprint)
(Wheu the publication of tliis volume was first suggested,...)
Wheu the publication of tliis volume was first suggested, the author well knew that it would be an impossibility to write a complete history of the Thirty-third I ndiana. When the war closed, all the original records of the regiment were passed directly into the archives of the War Department at Washington, D. C, and as near as can be ascertained duplicate copies of them were not retained by any of the officers. These papers were further made more difficult of access in 1891, by order of the then Secretary of War Elkins, prohibiting reference to them by any one in search of data for regimental histories. However, in this respect it has not been an entire failure, as the published Eecords of the Eebellion contain much data but not all, by any means of nime importance. Only those who have undertaken the task of writing a history of a regiment that had seen active service from the beginning to the end of the Civil AV ar, can fully understand the difficulties that exist under the conditions noted. Harassed on every hand by obstacles of varying degrees; often checkmated at the very moment some important data were about to be grasped; and failure to receive the hearty cd-operation of many who were equally interested, are incidents in the collection of material for this regimental history that have at times well-nigh jeopardized the completion of the work and worn out the patience of the writer. As a literary effort, the volume does pot rank with the productions of a Bancroft, or a Macaulay, and there have been no aspirations to that distinction. It may not even reach the dignity of its title, History, but that is immaterial. Distinction and title are matters of no real concern. The principal object has been to group together the facts relating to the part taken by the regiment in the Civil War, in as concise a form as possible, so that they could be reached by tho (Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)

While in the trenches a Company D man accidentally discharged his gun and killed a comrade, James Hews, the first death from gun-shot in our regiment and a sad case. December 8O. Out on picket on the Leesburg Pike. Lieutenant Riggs and myself called again this evening on the "Man and the Maid in the Mansion." It was a pleasant couple of hours for all of us; for they seemed as happy as we. Before the war the mansion had housed gay parties of distinguished people. In spite of their hospitable cheerfulness, trembling voices and dimming eyes were observable as they mentioned incidents of their former social life -- and no wonder! We admired and pitied them. We brought with us sugar and coffee, for which they were grateful. December 31. Am to-day ending the year in command of the vidette picket and scout station at Langley's. Thus varied were the days of our life, weather having most to do with the question of whether the service was pleasant or otherwise. Rain or snow or cold was trying, especially on picket. In camp most of our tents had sheet iron stoves or small open fires. Captain Livingston and I tented together and we had a comfortable tent with an open fire, and during the long evenings had plenty of visitors. Captain Livingston was a college man, a lawyer, an editor, a well read and entertaining gentleman. He could repeat Shakespeare, Byron and other poets and literary men; had a large knowledge of history and an excellent memory. So it was, that sitting by our fire with calling officer-friends, many an evening was delightfully spent in just enough conversation to keep the Captain, who was naturally reticent and modest, entertaining us. He was a dear, lovable man; honest, sincere and patriotic. His white hair and beard and...

Negotiating for Cyprus
In this book Glafcos Clerides, President of the Republic of Cyprus from 1993 – 2003 describes his negotiating strategy for Cyprus’ successful accession to the European Union as well as his efforts to find a settlement to the long-standing Cyprus problem to bring an end to the division of the island. The book describes in detail what went on behind the scenes during this process and contains many official documents published for the first time, thus providing all those with an interest in Cyprus, be they researchers, diplomats, journalists or laymen with the invaluable insights of a Cypriot statesman, now 89 years old, who has been deeply involved in the island’s recent history from the early-1950s to date. For all those interested in negotiating strategy the book provides a manual of how the negotiating process works in practice, in a situation such as that of Cyprus, where a conflict between two ethnic groups is impacted upon by the two “motherlands” and the international community.
