Also includes Epilogue, New Haven, 2006; Notes; Acknowledgments; and Index. Marc Wortman is an award-winning popular historian and journalist. His narrative histories include 1941: Fighting the Shadow War: A Divided America in a World at War; The Millionaires' Unit: The Aristocratic Flyboys Who Fought the Great War and Invented American Air Power; and The Bonfire: The Siege and Burning of Atlanta. The Millionaires' Unit inspired the multi-award-winning feature-length documentary of the same name. His articles have appeared in many publications, including Vanity Fair, Smithsonian, Air&Space and Time. He is a frequent contributor to The Daily Beast on American military and political history and other subjects. The Millionaires' Unit is the story of a gilded generation of young men from the zenith of privilege: a Rockefeller, a Taft, the son of the head of the Union Pacific Railroad, a son of J.P. Morgan's leading partner, and several who counted friends and relatives among presidents and statesmen of the day. Most were students at Yale in 1916, striving for rewards on the athletic fields, in school organizations, and in Skull & Bones. They had it all and, remarkably by modern standards, they were prepared to risk it all to fight a distant war in France. Driven by the belief that their membership in the American elite required certain sacrifices, schooled in heroism and the nature of leadership, they wee determined to be first into the conflict, leading the way ahead of America's declaration that it would join the Great war in Europe. At the heart of the group was the Yale flying club, six of whose members are the heroes of this book. They would share rivalries over girlfriends, jealousies over membership in Skull & Bones, and fierce ambition to be the most daring young man over the battlefields of France, where the casualties among flyers were chillingly high. One of the six would go on to become the principal architect of America's first strategic bomber force. Another became the navy's only Air Ace. Others would bring home decorations and tales of the high life in Paris. Some would not return, having made the greatest sacrifice all. The member of the Millionaires' Unit shared a stirring, romantic adventure--together growing from boys into leaders in the first terrible, modern war, putting their live on the line because they believed in the cause and in the idea that it was their duty to do so.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A rescued archive of vintage New York City from a forgotten ash can artistAfter cartoonist, educator, and editor James Sturm discovered the vintage book Mopey Dick and the Duke, he set off to find out more about the author, the deceased and unknown cartoonist Denys Wortman. Sturm immediately took note of the masterful drawings-casual, confident, and brimming with personality-and wondered how this cartoonist escaped his radar. After some online sleuthing, Sturm connected with Wortman's son, who relayed that an archive of more than five thousand illustrations was literally sitting in his shed in dire need of rescuing. For more than thirty-five years, the illustrations had been fighting such elements as hungry rodents, rusty paper clips, and even a blizzard. Wortman's son also had drawers full of his father's correspondence, including letters and holiday cards from William Steig and Walt Disney. Original artwork by artists and personal friends-including Peggy Bacon, Milt Gross, Isabel Bishop, and Reginald Marsh-were also saved. The fact that Wortman's luminary peers held him in the highest regard, coupled with his artistic prowess, makes his absence from both fine art and comics history puzzling. So Sturm and Brandon Elston set out to create a beautiful tribute to the forgotten master.Denys Wortman's New York is not only a tribute to Wortman; it is a tribute to New York, the city that sparked Wortman's voracious creative output. From coal cellars to rooftops, from opera houses to boardinghouses, Wortman recorded the sailors, dishwashers, con artists, entertainers, pushcart peddlers, construction workers, musicians, hoboes, society matrons, young mothers, secretaries, and students who collectively made the city what it was and is today.…

Paper wrappers pamphlet. Zustand: Very good condition. First printing. Scarce commemorative address, in which the author recalls the assassination of the president by a disappointed office seeker: "Garfield was a martyr no less than Lincoln; the one to the vile and threatening heresy of the Spoils System, as the other to the expiring heresy of Secession".
