The Treasure of the "San Jose": Death at Sea in the War of

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Phillips, Carla Rahn, PUBLISHER: Johns Hopkins University Press, Sunk in a British ambush in , the Spanish galleon "San Jos? "was rumored to have one of the richest cargos ever lost at sea. Though treasure hunters have searched for the wreck's legendary bounty, no one knows exactly how much went down with the ship or exactly where it sank. Here, Carla Rahn Phillips confronts the legend of lost treasure with documentary records of the "San Jos?"'s final voyage and suggests that the loss of silver and gold en route to Spain paled in comparison to the loss of the six hundred men who went down with the ship. Drawing from rich archival records, Phillips presents a biography of the ship and its crew. With vivid detail and meticulous scholarship, the author tells the stories of the officers, sailors, apprentices, and pages who manned the ship and explains the historical context in which the "San Jos?" became prey to the British squadron. But the story does not end with the sinking of the "San Jos?." While Phillips addresses the persistent question of how much treasure was on board when the ship went down, she focuses on the human dimensions of the tragedy as well. She recovers the accounts of British naval officers involved in the battle, and examines the impact of the ship's loss on the Spanish government, the survivors, and the families of the men who perished. Original, comprehensive, and compelling, "The Treasure of the " "San Jos?" separates popular myth from history and sheds light on the human lives associated with a "treasure" ship. " "

Who Will Fight the Next War?: The Changing Face of the

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Binkin, Martin, PUBLISHER: Brookings Institution Press, The Persian Gulf conflict was the first major combat test for U.S. military forces since the nation ended conscription two decades ago. As hundreds of thousands of American troops were dispatched to the Middle East, the nation realized, seemingly for the first time, that the composition of its armed forces was far removed from any that the nation had previously sent to war. The deployment of unprecedented proportions of minorities and women and the prominent role of reserves and national guard troops aroused considerable interest, widespread debate, and some worry. The prospect that African Americans could bear a disproportionate share of military casualties generated a socially diverse debate that threatened to reopen old racial scars; the reality that American women were exposed to perils from which, by long and deep tradition, they had previously been shielded inspired calls for them to be admitted to combat specialties; and controversy surrounding the readiness of the Army's combat reserves led to an internecine struggle over the future shape of the U.S. Army. In this book, Martin Binkin addresses each of these issues in order to provide a better understanding of the composition of America's fighting forces, to prompt an assessment of attitudes toward who should fight in future wars, and to delineate the choices for influencing the social distribution of peril. Binkin argues that the time for public involvement is now, while the memories of the Persian Gulf conflict are still reasonably fresh and while a fundamental rethinking of the post-cold war military is under way.

More than African American soldiers fought in World War I,and returning€troops frequently spoke of color-blind France. Such cosmopolitan experiences,along with the brutal,often desegregated no-man's-land between the trenches,forced African American artists and writers to reexamine their relationship to mainstream (white) American culture.€The war represented a seminal moment for African Americans,and in the s and s it became a touchstone for such diverse cul
