Three key Founding Fathers played significant roles: John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and Alexander Hamilton. Their lives and policies could not have been more different; their relationships with each other were complex and often rife with animosity. And yet these three men led the charge-two of them creating and signing the Declaration of Independence, and the third establishing a national treasury and the earliest delineation of a Republican party. They managed to shoulder the heavy mantle of creating the United States of America, putting aside their differences to make a great country, once and always. Drawing on extensive correspondence, epic tales of war, and rich histories of their day-to-day interactions, Winston Groom shares the remarkable story of the beginnings of our great nation."-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://omaha.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S240C299245</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://omaha.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S240C299245</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Groom, Winston]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://omaha.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/299245240</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and the Making of America</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781426221491/MC.GIF&amp;client=omahp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Allies]]></title><description><![CDATA["The story of the alliance formed at the end of World War II by Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Joseph Stalin to control the war in Europe and the Pacific, in the process shaping the political landscape of the world"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://omaha.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S240C215072</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://omaha.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S240C215072</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Groom, Winston]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://omaha.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/215072240</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Roosevelt, Churchill, Stalin, and the Unlikely Alliance That Won World War II</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781426219665/MC.GIF&amp;client=omahp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[El Paso]]></title><description><![CDATA[When the Colonel's famous Valle del Sol ranch is raided, it was Pancho Villa who not only stole the cattle but also murdered the ranch manager.

Frantic, the aging patriarch and his adopted son race to El Paso, hoping to gather a group of cowboys brave enough to hunt down the generalissimo on his own turf. But their deep pockets and political clout mean next to nothing in a crumbling nation rife with communist sympathizers.

Their efforts revealed to the world the grit and determination that would become synonymous with America in the postwar years.Virginian George Marshall led his class at the Virginia Military Institute to become the principal planner of the Battle of the Meuse-Argonne, the greatest American operation, which ended the conflict. Afterward, he rose to become the Army's chief of staff, where he balanced the volatility of generals such as Patton and MacArthur for the good of the country. Like Marshall, George Patton, who is remembered as one of the most heroic and controversial generals in American history, overcame early academic difficulties to graduate at the top of his class at West Point. He would build and command the Army's burgeoning tank division, lead the successful invasion of North Africa during World War II, and die under mysterious circumstances in 1945. Douglas MacArthur also graduated at the top of his West Point class and became known as the "bravest man in the US Army" during the First World War, where he was commissioned as the youngest general in the armed forces. He commanded in the Pacific in World War II, where his strategy famously defeated the Empire of Japan.Filled with novel-worthy twists and turns, and set against the backdrop of the most dramatic moments of the twentieth century, The Generals is a powerful, action-packed book filled with marvelous surprises and insights into the lives of America's most celebrated warriors.]]></description><link>https://omaha.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S240C158186</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://omaha.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S240C158186</guid><category><![CDATA[BOOK_CD]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Groom, Winston]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2015 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://omaha.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/158186240</comments><format>BOOK_CD</format><subtitle>Patton, MacArthur, Marshall, and the Winning of World War II</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781504635875/MC.GIF&amp;client=omahp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
