"They Are All Red Out Here"

"They Are All Red Out Here"

Socialist Politics in the Pacific Northwest, 1895–1925

by Jeffrey A. Johnson

In this first book to fully examine the development of the American Socialist Party in the Northwest, Jeffrey A. Johnson draws a sharp picture of one of the most vigorous left-wing organizations of the early-twentieth-century. Relying on party newspapers, pamphlets, and correspondence, he allows socialists to reveal their own strategies as they pursued their agendas in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana. And he explores how the party gained sizable support in Butte, Spokane, and other cities seldom associated today with left-wing radicalism.

Navigating the Missouri

Navigating the Missouri

Steamboating on Nature's Highway, 1819–1935

by William E. Lass

Navigating the Missouri tells of migration and commerce on the Santa Fe Trail, the Platte River Road, and routes to the Montana gold mines. It explores the economic and political milieu of steamboating while savoring the rich social history of life on the Missouri, including the boat captains, who were the heroes of the river.

Mansfield and Dirksen

Mansfield and Dirksen

Bipartisan Giants of the Senate

by Marc C. Johnson

A study of politics but also an analysis of different approaches to leadership, this is a portrait of a U.S. Senate that no longer exists—one in which two leaders, while exercising partisan political responsibilities, could still come together to pass groundbreaking legislation—and a reminder of what is possible.

Herbert C. Pell, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and the Limits of International Law

by Graham B. Cox

With its broad new examination of the background and context of the Nuremberg trials, and its expanded view of the roles played by Roosevelt and his unlikely deputy Pell, Seeking Justice for the Holocaust offers a deeper and more nuanced understanding of how the Allies came to hold Nazis accountable for their crimes against humanity.
 

Diplomacy Shot Down

Diplomacy Shot Down

The U-2 Crisis and Eisenhower's Aborted Mission to Moscow, 1959–1960

by E. Bruce Geelhoed

The history of the Cold War is littered with what-ifs, and in Diplomacy Shot Down, E. Bruce Geelhoed explores one of the most intriguing: What if the Soviets had not shot down the American U-2 spy plane and President Dwight D. Eisenhower had visited Moscow in 1960 as planned?

American Dude Ranch

American Dude Ranch

A Touch of the Cowboy and the Thrill of the West

by Lynn Downey

However contested and complicated in reality, western history is one of America’s national origin stories that we turn to in times of cultural upheaval. Dude ranches provide a tangible link to the real and imagined past; their persistence and popularity demonstrate how significant this link remains. This book tells their story—in all its familiar, eccentric, and often surprising detail.

by Jason Colavito

Built upon primary sources and first-person accounts, the story that The Mound Builder Myth tells is a forgotten chapter of American history—but one that reads like the Da Vinci Code as it plays out at the upper reaches of government, religion, and science.
