Kohn -- Culture war, history front / Mike Wallace -- Dangerous history : Vietnam and the "good war" / Marilyn B. Young -- The victors and the vanquished / Tom Engelhardt."From the "taming of the West" to the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, the portrayal of the past has become a battleground at the heart of American politics. What kind of history Americans should read, see, or fund is no longer merely a matter of professional interest to teachers, historians, and museum curators. Everywhere now, history is increasingly being held hostage, but to what end and why? In History Wars, eight prominent historians consider the angry swirl of emotions that now surrounds public memory."--Back cover.

Longarm and the Yuma prison / by Evans, Tabor.(CARDINAL)739721;
"Crooked town marshal Jeb Beeson has laid down the law--his law. If Longarm isn't on the Monday train out of Yuma, his casket will be. But Deputy U.S. Marshal Custis Long isn't about to be chased off by a bullying badge toter--he has a job to do. Former lawman Tom Ray has been falsely convicted of murder and left to rot in Yuma Territorial Prison, while the men who set him up steal his gold claim. When Ray's beautiful daughter Jessica asks Longarm for help, the deputy marshal can't say no. He is not about to let a good lawman die in a bad prison--or let a bunch of dirty dogs get rich on a dead man's claim."--P. [4] of cover.

Dominion : how the Christian revolution remade the world / by Holland, Tom,Dr.,author.(CARDINAL)815207;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 575-591) and index."Christianity is the most enduring and influential legacy of the ancient world, and its emergence is the single most transformative development in Western history. [This book] explores what it was that made Christianity so revolutionary and why, in a West that has become increasingly doubtful of religion's claims, so many of its instincts remain irredeemably Christian. Today, the West remains utterly saturated by Christian assumptions. Our morals and ethics are not universal. Instead, they are the fruits of a very distinctive civilization. Concepts such as secularism, liberalism, science, and homosexuality are deeply rooted in a Christian seedbed. From Babylon to the Beatles, Saint Michael to #MeToo, Dominion tells the story of how Christianity transformed the world" -- inside front jacket flap.
