At a time when blacks are returning to the South in record numbers, this book offers proof that the stereotypical Southern town--replete with poverty, prejudice, and hopelessness for blacks--still persists despite the civil rights revolution. Presenting an anthropological overview of one community and in-depth analysis of four extended families, this book dispels misconceptions about the Southern black family and shows it to be a coherent, well-defined, and viable structure.
The Silent Guns of Two Octobers uses new as well as previously under-appreciated documentary evidence to link the Cuban Missile Crisis to the Checkpoint Charlie tank standoff to achieve the impossible—craft a new, thoughtful, original analysis of a political showdown everyone thought they knew everything about. Ultimately the book concludes that much of the Cold War rhetoric the leaders employed was mere posturing; in reality neither had any intention of starting a nuclear war. Theodore Voorhees reexamines Khrushchev’s and Kennedy’s leadership, decision, and rhetoric in light of the new documentary evidence available. Voorhees examines the impact of John F. Kennedy's domestic political concerns about his upcoming first midterm elections on his handling of the Cuban Missile Crisis through his use of back-channel dealings with Khrushchev during the lead-up to the crisis and in the closing days when the two leaders managed to reach a settlement.

Theodore Roosevelt is remembered as the twenty-sixth President of the United States, but this multi-faceted man was so much more. He rose through the political ranks to become Governor of New York; Vice President; Police Commissioner of New York City; Assistant Secretary of the Navy; and Colonel of the Rough Riders; all by the age of 42, when he also became the youngest man ever to hold the office of President (for two terms). The Wisdom of Theodore Roosevelt presents his words and ideas on a range of subjects, personal and political, and provides a fascinating picture of his personality and beliefs as they evolved over time.
