The Price Of Courage

By: Curt Anders

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

A story of ground combat, as viewed from the level of combat command, The Price of Courage is written—as it should be—by a man who has himself led infantry forces in battle during the Korean War, where combat reduced itself daily to the awful task of getting one man at a time around one rock at a time in the face of fierce, inch-by-inch resistance. Eric Holloway is assigned command of George Company on a cold and barren mountain when he least expects it and when, in the minds of some of his men, he least deserves it—after a day of horror, when his own blunders have cost American lives and frustrated the battalion’s advance. Under the grim pressure of necessity and in the face of bitter enemy fire, he leads his battle-weary company forward to take a mountain top. With only his courage, his instincts, and his combat training to guide him, Holloway must decide when to leave his post and risk his own life to lead a lost platoon to safety when to lay on the artillery preparation that may cost the life of one of his wounded officers, when to bully an inexperienced lieutenant into moving forward under fire—and when and if to ignore the orders of a “chicken” colonel who has had no combat experience. The Price of Courage is an unusual book in many ways, rough and plainspoken and unprettified, without being larded with obscenity. It portrays unrelentingly the horror and waste of war while celebrating the patient self-sacrifice, nobility and workaday heroism of the plain soldier, giving a real experience of how it is to take men out on a cold and nameless mountainside to face death or disfigurement; it is mature and unsentimental and unromantic; and above all, it is a simple, fast-moving, well-plotted story that moves in a clear straight line, gripping the reader with the first sentence and nor releasing him until the final word.—Robert Smith.

Criminal & Behavioral Profiling

Criminal & Behavioral Profiling

By: Curt R. Bartol,Anne M. Bartol

Do your students understand the job of a "criminal profiler"? Yes, they see them nightly on tv shows and in the news, but do they have a real understanding of how law enforcement can use empirical data to correctly assess behavior and help solve crimes, particularly serial crimes? Criminal and Behavioral Profiling, by well-established authors Curt and Anne Bartol, presents a realistic and empirically-based look at the theory, research, and practice of modern criminal profiling. Designed for use in a variety of criminal justice and psychology courses, the book delves into the process of identifying behavioral tendencies, geographical locations, demographic and biographical descriptors of an offender (or offenders), and sometimes personality traits based on characteristics of the crime. Timely literature and case studies from the rapidly growing international research in criminal profiling help students understand the best practices, major pitfalls, and psychological concepts that are key to this process.

Wagner

A Biography

By: Curt von Westernhagen

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Wagner

A Biography

By: Curt von Westernhagen

Why produce another biography of Wagner? There are a number of answers to this question. In the first place, the archives are being opened and new documents are appearing all the time. Dr von Westernhagen, a scholar who has devoted his life to Wagner, has produced the only general biography on this scale which is truly up-to-date in making use of this fresh archive material. In the second place, there is a need for a biography which focuses on Wagner's artistic achievements. In recent years Wagner has become a 'problematic' figure, largely because recent biographies have concentrated on his anti-Semitism, his egoism and his sexual life, and have presented the picture of an implausible scoundrel who by chance also wrote some music dramas. Westernhagen's approach is much more positive: his starting point is the importance and the supreme greatness of Wagner's artistry. This is therefore a positive biography, which combines an appropriate largeness of scale with factual accuracy and familiarity with the source documents. Dr von Westernhagen quotes extensively from letters and diaries to throw light, for example, on Wagner's relationship with Cosima, his idea of emigrating to America, his estrangement from Nietzsche (and the way this was later wilfully misrepresented by Nietzsche's sister, Elisabeth), and the later years as they are reflected in the so-called Brown Book, a notebook for the years 1865-82 which Wagner kept for Cosima and which was first published only in 1975. The author has also consulted the composition exercises which Wagner wrote in his teens for his teacher Theodor Weinlig, and the contents of the composer's Dresden library help to establish what were the early intellectual influences upon him. This biography concentrates on the nature of Wagner's art, its development, its achievement: the way, for instance, that Wagner was able to keep many projects in mind simultaneously, all of them dovetailing into one another with an inexorable logic. Particularly useful features of this study are the appendices which include a chronological summary of Wagner's life, a complete list of his musical and literary compositions and an up-to-date bibliography. This is a definitive biography which will stand beside Newman's classic work as an indispensable reference book for all future studies of Wagner, and a judicious account for those approaching this fascinating life story for the first time." --Dust jacket.

Hearts in Conflict

A One-volume History of the Civil War

By: Curt Anders

Overview: "What is man to do when the laws he has lived under and respected put his heart in conflict with itself?" It is this fundamental question that illuminates Hearts in Conflict, a brilliant new history of the American Civil War. Here, in one single volume well supplied with easy-to-read maps, author and military historian Curt Anders provides a clear understanding of exactly what happened between North and South during the years 1861 to 1865. In Hearts in Conflict the author uses the words of participants to bring the war vividly to life - from the portents of conflict in the summer of 1860 to the cooling of the guns in 1865. At the outset, Anders argues, Americans were in a fighting mood, and passion crowded out reason. The breakdown of institutional procedures for resolving disputes led to military action, and battle became the means of reaching an ultimate and unarguable decision. Acting as an unobtrusive guide, the author carries the reader through the tumultuous years, not only describing campaigns and battles but also providing insights into the motivations and intents of the actors. By shifting the narrative from one side to the other, Anders provides a fresh, clear view of the war's progress. And he uses documents to permit the major figures-Lincoln, Seward, McClellan, Jackson, Lee, Grant, Sherman, and countless others, great and small-to reveal themselves in their own words. And always to the reader's benefit, Anders shares his military understanding of the leaders and the bloody battles they waged. Hearts in Conflict is, ultimately, as much a search for values as it is the story of a war. The author focuses on the men whose ideas and actions drove the events, most of them ordinary people facing extraordinary challenges. Some became heroes-they earned respect-while others, lacking the characteristics required to deal with situations utterly unforeseen, faltered. In the end we comprehend why men fought-and succeeded or failed. Hearts in Conflict, is clearly destined to become a classic work on nineteenth-century American history.

NSC 68 and the Political Economy of the Early Cold War

By: Curt Cardwell

NSC 68 and the Political Economy of the Early Cold War re-examines the origins and implementation of NSC 68, the massive rearmament program that the United States embarked upon beginning in the summer of 1950. Curt Cardwell reinterprets the origins of NSC 68 to demonstrate that the aim of the program was less about containing communism than ensuring the survival of the nascent postwar global economy, upon which rested postwar US prosperity. The book challenges most studies on NSC 68 as a document of geostrategy and argues instead that it is more correctly understood as a document rooted in concerns for the US domestic political economy.

A Bibliography of Modern Studies: Volume VI: 1966-1970

By: Curt Arno Zimansky

The Philological Quarterly's annual bibliographies of modern studies in English neoclassical literature, published originally from 1961 to 1970, are reproduced in two volumes. Readers will find the same features that distinguished earlier compilations in the series: inclusive listing of significant works published in each year (including sections on the historical and cultural background as well as literature), authoritative reviews of important works, critical comments, and a full index that is in itself an indispensable reference tool. Originally published in 1972. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
