Books with author George Wilson

New York Times' Notable Book of 2019 SelectionNEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERFrom the Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist, an "astonishing" and "enthralling" (Booklist) new examination of how the Founders' belief in natural rights created a great American political tradition--"easily one of the best books on American Conservatism ever written" (Jonah Goldberg). For more than four decades, George F. Will has attempted to discern the principles of the Western political tradition and apply them to America's civic life. Today, the stakes could hardly be higher. Vital questions about the nature of man, of rights, of equality, of majority rule are bubbling just beneath the surface of daily events in America. The Founders' vision, articulated first in the Declaration of Independence and carried out in the Constitution, gave the new republic a framework for government unique in world history. Their beliefs in natural rights, limited government, religious freedom, and in human virtue and dignity ushered in two centuries of American prosperity. Now, as Will shows, conservatism is under threat--both from progressives and elements inside the Republican Party. America has become an administrative state, while destructive trends have overtaken family life and higher education. Semi-autonomous executive agencies wield essentially unaccountable power. Congress has failed in its duty to exercise its legislative powers. And the executive branch has slipped the Constitution's leash. In the intellectual battle between the vision of Founding Fathers like James Madison, who advanced the notion of natural rights that pre-exist government, and the progressivism advanced by Woodrow Wilson, the Founders have been losing. It's time to reverse America's political fortunes. Expansive, intellectually thrilling, and written with the erudite wit that has made Will beloved by millions of readers, The Conservative Sensibility is an extraordinary new book from one of America's most celebrated political writers.

The series of essays that comprise The Federalist constitutes one of the key texts of the American Revolution and the democratic system created in the wake of independence. Written in 1787 and 1788 by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay to promote the ratification of the proposed Constitution, these papers stand as perhaps the most eloquent testimonial to democracy that exists. They describe the ideas behind the American system of government: the separation of powers; the organization of Congress; the respective positions of the executive, legislative, and judiciary; and much more. The Federalist remains essential reading for anyone interested in politics and government, and indeed for anyone seeking a foundational statement about democracy and America.

Born into a dirt poor southern family, a young boy quickly discovers charm, mystery and adventure lying all around him. From the forests and cliffs at the bend of the river, to the sandbar that appears only in summer. Slowly becoming aware that while his family was poor, the poverty was shared by most of those around him. Learning quickly about the haves and the have-nots, he sustains himself with the love of family and friends. Life hands him challenges, often of his own making, and rewards that nothing could ever take away.Told through the eye of the beholder, go along with him and learn what it was like to be a boy, to be Southern, and coming of age before TV, when all phones were attached to the wall, and when days were longer, and summers lasted forever.

Read the true story behind the movie Breaker Morant, written by George Witton the only surviving soldier of those sentenced to death for war atrocities.•Illustrated edition, with 11 sketch illustrationsDuring the Boer War in South Africa, Australian George Ramsdale Witton (1874 –1942) served as a lieutenant in the Bushveldt Carbineers until he was sentenced to death for murder after the shooting of nine Boer prisoners.In his 1907 book "Scapegoats of the Empire," Witton's main assertion, as indicated by the book's provocative title, was that he, Morant, and Handcock were made scapegoats by the British authorities in South Africa — that they were made to take the blame for widespread British war crimes against the Boers, and that the trial and executions were carried out by the British for political reasons, partly to cover up a controversial and secret "no prisoners" policy promulgated by Kitchener, and partly to appease the Boer government over the killing of Boer prisoners, in order to facilitate a peace treaty; the Treaty of Vereeniging was signed on 31 May 1902.Witton also claimed that many of the accusations about them, which led to their arrest and trial, were made by disaffected members of their regiment whose rebellious behaviour had been suppressed by Morant and Handcock.His book, "Scapegoats of the Empire" was originally published in 1907 by D. W. Paterson of Melbourne. It has long been claimed that the book was suppressed by the Australian government and most copies were destroyed.In introducing his book, Witton writes: " When I arrived in Australia, I found that the grossest misrepresentations had been made by those primarily responsible for the manner of the warfare which "staggered humanity," and that they had succeeded in linking the name of Australia with the most tragic and odious incidents connected with a mercenary and inglorious war."If the publication of the truth will in some measure cause Australians, as a people, to take less on trust where their honour is concerned, and in future to demand the most searching enquiries and obtain definite proof before accepting the misdeeds of others as their own, then this record of an eventful experience will not have been written in vain."Other books that cover Witton's story include: •The Bushveldt Carbineers and the Pietersburg Light Horse by William (Bill) Woolmore, 2002, •The Breaker, Angus and Robertson, 1973•Carving From the Veldt: Rifle Carvings from the Anglo-Boer War, 1899–1902, 2004. •Bye-Bye Dolly Gray, 2005•Ready, Aim, Fire: Major James Francis Thomas, the Fourth Victim in the Execution of Lieutenant Harry "Breaker" Morant, •Australians at the Boer War, 1976. •Australia's Boer War: The War in South Africa, 1899–1902, 2002•The Bushveldt Carbineers and the Pietersburg Light Horse (2002),
