A World on Fire
By Amanda Foreman (2010)
1. There are few better guides to understanding the relationship between the U.S. and Britain than this immersive history of Britain’s role in the American Civil War. Startlingly, we discover that the war divided Britain as bitterly as Brexit does today. Whiggish English politicians sided with the North, but just as many staunchly supported the Confederacy, despite slavery’s having long been abolished in the British empire.

the french horn recital. yeah, exactly. joe. tell me about margaret thatcher. these are the days of thatcher. thatcherism is rising in america. this terrific piece by the historian amanda foreman who wrote one of the best five books of the year. she s an amazing writer and spent a lot of time talking to all the leaders. she s got an interview with cameron, all about how mrs. thatcher is actually becoming more relevant than ever. there s this big new movie out with meryl streep who is absolutely good in the movie. but what i think is interesting is one of the points she makes is how thatcher has been completely rejected in a sense by feminists even though you could say she s one of the great feminist icons. in 2009, the deputy leader of the labor party launched this poll which talks about the 16 most influential women in british history, she was left off the list, which is unbelievable.
