Böcker av Robert Harvey

Throughout its history, America has often been guilty of inflicting the very injustices it has tried to exterminate. One such period came in the first stages of the second world war when Americans, seized by the fear that they might become victims of fifth-column activities, began to see neighbors of different ethnic backgrounds as enemies. Within months of the attack on Pearl Harbor, Americans sought ways to rid themselves of potential threats in the easiest and most convenient method possible--concentration camps. In this second edition of Amache: The Story of Japanese Internment in Colorado During World War II, Robert Harvey outlines one of the darkest chapters in Colorado's history. Amache is a comprehensive must-read that will forever preserve the voices and stories of those who endured this dark period of our nation's past. "Harvey has done an excellent job of writing about Amache, a historical subject that needs to be repeatedly and accurately told. He has done it with solid research and great compassion." Robert Y. Fuchigami Ed.D. University of Illinois, former Amache inmate - 1942-1945, professor and author Amache: Remembered: An American Concentration Camp

Robert Harvey brilliantly recreates the story of the greatest conflict that stretches from the first blaze of revolution in Paris in 1789 to final victory on the muddy fields of Waterloo.On land and at sea, throughout the four corners of the continent, from the frozen plains surrounding Moscow and terror on the Caribbean seas, to the muddy low lands of Flanders and the becalmed waters of Trafalgar, The War of Wars tells the powerful story of the greatest conflict of the age.

The adventures of the daring Thomas Cochrane, called 'the sea wolf' by Napoleon, are so extraordinary that his life reads like a page-turning work of fiction. In one sense it became so, for the novelist Patrick O'Brian by his own admission used Cochrane as the basis for Jack Aubrey, hero of his much-loved series of naval novels.Cochrane became a household name when in 1800 he took command of the tiny brig, the Speedy, and created mayhem in the Mediterranean earning himself and his crew a fortune in prize money. A wildly contradictory character, never less than heroic, and this lively new account of his life has sold over 7,000 copies in hardback.
