American Revolution on Trial: A New Nation Confronts the Burden of Independence
A master historian uncovers a spellbinding story illustrating the stakes for the new nation in the American War for Independence
How does a new country demonstrate to the world that it is prepared to uphold the rule of law? During the winter of 1778, in the midst of revolution, a bizarre and dramatic court-martial forced an American community to confront the full implications of its independence from Great Britain--and produced a frank reexamination of a struggling nation's cultural and political values. British General John Burgoyne, a prisoner of war, accused an American colonel of mistreating fellow British prisoners. Angry and embarrassed after surrendering his army at Saratoga, he demanded an unprecedented full trial before an American jury. In a stunning decision, American military officers not only acquiesced to an unprecedented request for a court-martial but also allowed Burgoyne, an enemy commander, to serve as prosecutor.
Why were the Americans so accommodating of this audacious request? Burgoyne's challenge, as T. H. Breen shows, had become about much more than an American soldier's individual transgression--it sparked an emotional rejection of aristocratic privilege that went to the heart of the revolutionary cause itself. The American Revolution on Trial spectacularly illustrates how the platform provided to Burgoyne offered the new, rebellious republic an opportunity to demonstrate, to themselves and the world, that they were sufficiently civilized to deliver genuine justice. This saga and its larger significance address questions about the rule of law and a nation's honor that challenge us to this day.

"Gorgeous and compelling."--Kelly Link, author of The Book of Love "And if we weren't afraid of the darkness? What world would we make then?" Eve is at a breaking point. Alone with her two children in Massachusetts while her husband pursues his music career in New York City, she's frustrated, bored, and above all, lonely when she runs into Demeter, a childhood friend with whom she shared one transformative summer. Demeter is as beautiful and charismatic as Eve remembers, but she's also distraught. Demeter's daughter, like a growing number of others, young and old, cannot go outside during the day. No one knows why, and doctors are skeptical that these people--soon dubbed Emilys, after a famously reclusive local poet--are telling the truth. But Eve believes her friend, whose company revives her and gives her purpose. She will help Demeter--if she can just figure out how. Eve's search for answers brings her into the fold of an unlikely band of detectives--the local librarian and the town's most prolific writer of letters to the editor, who both loved the same woman and now hate each other; an actor hoping to make amends for past mistakes; a hermit botanist whose seed collection might hold a clue if she'd only open her door. They meet in playdates and potlucks, the Elks Lodge and the food co-op, the botanical garden and the riverbank, venturing deep into the town's past and finding their way towards a future wilder and more wondrous than they had ever expected.

Roma soy yo, Maldita Roma y Los tres mundos reunidas en una edición en formato estuche. La historia de Julio César narrada como solo Santiago Posteguillo puede hacerlo. Si alguna vez hubo un hombre nacido para cambiar el curso de la Historia, ese fue Julio César. Su leyenda, veinte siglos después, sigue más viva que nunca. Roma soy yo Roma, año 77 a.C. El cruel senador Dolabela va a ser juzgado por corrupción, pero ha contratado a los mejores abogados, ha comprado al jurado y, además, es conocido por usar la violencia contra todos los que se enfrentan a él. Nadie se atreve a ser el fiscal, hasta que de pronto, contra todo pronóstico, un joven patricio de tan solo veintitrés años acepta llevar la acusación, defender al pueblo de Roma y desafiar el poder de las élites. El nombre del desconocido abogado es Cayo Julio César. Combinando con maestría un exhaustivo rigor histórico y una capacidad narrativa extraordinaria, Santiago Posteguillo logra sumergir al lector en el fragor de las batallas, hacerle caminar por las calles más peligrosas mientras los sicarios de los senadores acechan en cualquier esquina, vivir la gran historia de amor de Julio César con Cornelia, su primera esposa, y comprender, en definitiva, cómo fueron los orígenes del hombre tras el mito.

Obligado por sus enemigos a exiliarse de Roma, se dirige al encuentro con el maestro Apolonio para aprender oratoria y de este modo, a su regreso, iniciar una feroz pugna para ingresar en el Senado y enfrentarse allí al temido Cicerón. Este es un relato sin tregua en el que viviremos ataques piratas, el enfrentamiento con Espartaco en la rebelión de los esclavos, grandes batallas en las que sentiremos el olor de la sangre y el estruendo de los gladios. Comprenderemos los hábiles manejos de César para ascender en política y asistiremos, incluso, al nacimiento de la reina Cleopatra a orillas del Nilo.

Los tres mundos
En el 58 a. C., Roma, la Galia y Egipto eran tres mundos distintos que, sin saberlo, iban camino de un único destino... Si en Roma soy yo conocíamos los orígenes de Julio César y enMaldita Roma asistíamos a su ascenso político, ahora César se enfrenta a uno de los mayores desafíos históricos de todos los tiempos: la conquista de las Galias, un territorio siempre hostil a Roma, vasto, inmenso y, a ojos de los enemigos de César, un lugar inconquistable destinado a ser su tumba. Con una rigurosa documentación y un ritmo soberbio vivimos el sufrimiento y la épica de la guerra de las Galias, pero también presenciamos la lucha política fratricida en Roma y viajamos al exilio con el faraón Tolomeo XII, expulsado de Egipto en compañía de su hija, la joven y mítica Cleopatra.

If there was ever a man born to change the course of History, that was Julius Caesar.
His legend, twenty centuries later, is more alive than ever. I Am Rome AFTER JULIUS CAESAR, THE WORLD WAS NEVER THE SAME. If there was ever a man born to change the course of History, that was Julius Caesar. His legend, twenty centuries later, is more alive than ever. Rome, year 77 b.C. Cruel Senator Dolabella is about to be judged for corruption, but he has hired the best lawyers, has bought the jury, and, besides, is known for the use of violence against anyone who opposes him. No man dares accept the role of prosecutor, until all of a sudden and against all odds, a young Patrician of mere twenty-three years of age accepts to lead the case, defend the people of Rome, and defy the power of the elite class. This unknown lawyer's name is Caius Julius Caesar. Masterfully combining an exhaustive historical rigor with extraordinary narrative skills, Santiago Posteguillo is able to submerge his readers in the thick of battle, make them walk through the most dangerous streets where the Senate's henchmen lurk in every corner, live the great love story of Julius Caesar and Cornelia, his first wife, and finally understand the origins of the man behind the myth. There are characters that change the history of the world, but there are also moments that change the lives of such characters.
