Reviews

Forget I Told You This

Review in Foreword Reviews:

“Set in a dystopian near-future, Hilary Zaid’s conspiracy novel Forget I Told You This sets itself apart with erudite flair and heartfelt human drama.”

Twelve Days

Review in Shepherd Express:

“In Twelve Days, Tony Silber explores the reasons for the Confederacy’s failure to capture the capital. His lively account details the often-prosaic reasons for the outcome, which amount to Southern slowness and the North’s greater speed.”

The Indigenous Paleolithic of the Western Hemisphere

Review in The British Columbia Review:

“There have been books written by Indigenous archaeologists before, but this one is breaking new ground. It’s a significant contribution to archaeology, Indigenous studies, and understanding the human past in the Americas.”

Buffalo Soldiers in Alaska

Review in H-Net Reviews:

“Overall, Buffalo Soldiers in Alaska is a well-researched and thought-provoking study of a relatively unknown period in American history through the perspective of a marginalized group of men, whose role is slowly but surely being revealed. As a result, Shellum’s work makes a valuable contribution to the growing body of research around the Buffalo Soldiers.”

Oracle of Lost Causes

Review in Wall Street Journal:

“To Mr. Hulbert, an assistant professor of history at Hampden-Sydney College, Edwards’s life is nothing less than ‘a grand collage of nineteenth-century America.’ The author has researched his story deeply, and he tells it well, including the myriad ways in which Edwards twisted the truth in his reactionary harangues.”

Hydronarratives

Review in H-Net Reviews:

Hydronarratives is, above all, an argument for the urgent need to look for, identify, and produce future-looking stories about a just transition as a key metric to calling this future into being. The book may advocate for a survivable American future rather than bloody revolution, but it also makes the point that the window for choosing pathways forward is rapidly closing and the work needs to happen at multiple scales. As Henry writes, ‘the seas are rising, and there is little time to waste’.”

Godfall

Review in Publishers Weekly:

“In the clever but crammed sci-fi debut from graphic novelist Jensen (Arca), Nebraskan sheriff David Blunt investigates a series of brutal murders tied to a giant alien carcass nicknamed Gulliver that has recently crashed to Earth on the outskirts of town.”

Richard Nixon

Review in Lincoln Journal Star:

“Richard M. Nixon, whose presidency ended in disgrace in 1974, is firmly established in the American public’s perception as one of our nation’s most villainous leaders. Paul Carter’s new book, Richard Nixon, indicates a reevaluation of his image is now merited.”
