Hardback. Zustand: Good. A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "Snappy and accessible prose. America's Deadliest Election is the kind of book that might generate fresh interest in our country's brief post-Civil War attempt at creating a multiracial democracy."--The Washington Post The violent election of 1872 that serves as a warning for today's divided politics. From CNN's Chief Political Correspondent Dana Bash, the fast-paced story of the extraordinary election that led to hundreds of murders, warfare in the streets of New Orleans, two governors of Louisiana--and changed the course of politics in our country. The Election of 1872 was the most contentious in American history. After both parties complained of corruption, neither candidate would concede, two governors claimed office and chaos erupted. Rival newspapers engaged in a bitter war of words, politicians plotted to overthrow the government, and their supporters fought in the streets and attempted assassinations. The entire country watched in grim fascination as the wounds of the Civil War were ripped open and the promise of President Grant's Reconstruction faltered in the face of violent resistance and the birth of the Ku Klux Klan. In this riveting book, Dana Bash and David Fisher tell the incredible, little-known story of the election that pushed democracy to the breaking point, and sparked historic events including: The Colfax Massacre, in which at least 150 Black men were killed by white supremacists The extraordinary train race from New York to New Orleans for control of the state government The election of the first black Congressman from Louisiana in the face of violent resistance The Supreme Court ruling that ended Reconstruction and became the foundation of Southern segregation, changing the American legal system for the next century Readers will find eerie parallels to today's divided political landscape and leaders willing to seize power no matter the cost. An eye-opening warning of what's at stake and what it takes to protect our democracy, this is a must-read tale of America's deadliest election.…

Hardback. Zustand: Fair. Drinking games have a long and illustrious history, beginning in the 21st Century BC, when the brilliant Mesopotamian King Ur-Nammu realized the people of his nation needed something to break up the monotony of their miserable lives, which had theretofore been spent building ziggurats and plotting bloody revolutions. Ur-Nammu attacked this plague of boredom by imbibing massive quantities of beer through a straw, then falling out of a window."The Imbible" will be exactly that - the bible for the millions of people - both in college and those who wish they'd never left - who will pick this book up when they're looking for something to do on a Friday night. It contains all the drinking game classics; from "Quarters to Kings", to today's newest, coolest, and most debauched drinking games, including "The Lord of the Rings" drinking game (every time a character draws a sword more slowly and cinematic than it's pragmatic to do in the heat of the battle, drink). Containing original illustrations and with a paper-over-board design, this will truly be the bible of drinking games.…
