The Battlefield is a story of inner passion that deals with the struggles of African immigrants in realizing their American dreams. The struggle of passionate desire to survive the huddles of naturalization, called the baptism of fire, brings them face to face with the realities of living in a strange land. This struggle is compounded with some negative reception they encounter with some of their African-American brethren, who ironically feel threatened by their presence. This conflict is the beauty of the book and is not resolved till the end of the story. The plot unravels in a letter-writing technique, with a funeral setting, and an unknown voice that expects to receive the letter that details events that occurred before the funeral. The letter also reveals the memories and victims of the Battlefield. The Micky bar becomes the centerpoint for emotional release by all the immigrants who gather here each day to share their various challenging experiences, which in one way or the other have shaped their destinies. By sharing these shattered dreams with new members of the club, the club serves as a template to new arrivals in town on the code of conduct to be adhered to if their American dreams will ever be realized. The Battlefield adds a new twist to the American Dream. It is told through a cross-cultural dimension with different human comparisons in sharp contrasting views. It brings the dead and the living side by side as both share their stories with high expectations of what would happen to the unborn as signified by the mailman, who was expected from the beginning of the story but only arrives toward the end. The book outlines the pains and shackles of survival. It also points out the fact that the condition of the poor, represented by the beggars on the train in Africa and the homeless ones in the train tunnel in San Francisco, all over the world is the same. The society is not doing enough to protect them. The link between them is always the drive to break that yoke of poverty. It is that drive that results in their success or doom. At the end of the day, no system all over the world is perfect. The plot and subplots are carefully woven around a lone voice battling depression and societal oppression. He tells his story in an open letter. As he writes his story, he tells our own very stories of our everyday struggles to pay bills in America and the challenges the poor face in burying their loved one in Africa because of high cost of funeral rites. This is a well-crafted story on how to overcome depression through willpower and how to become successful in life in the face of daunting challenges. This book is a proof that there is always light at the end of the tunnel. God is real and will always be there for us. He never gives up on us, no matter what. Battlefield!

A New York Times bestseller! “Beautifully crafted and fun to read.” —Louis Galambos, The Wall Street Journal “Nasaw’s research is extraordinary.” —San Francisco Chronicle “Make no mistake: David Nasaw has produced the most thorough, accurate and authoritative biography of Carnegie to date.” —Salon.com The definitive account of the life of Andrew Carnegie Celebrated historian David Nasaw, whom The New York Times Book Review has called "a meticulous researcher and a cool analyst," brings new life to the story of one of America's most famous and successful businessmen and philanthropists—in what will prove to be the biography of the season. Born of modest origins in Scotland in 1835, Andrew Carnegie is best known as the founder of Carnegie Steel. His rags to riches story has never been told as dramatically and vividly as in Nasaw's new biography. Carnegie, the son of an impoverished linen weaver, moved to Pittsburgh at the age of thirteen. The embodiment of the American dream, he pulled himself up from bobbin boy in a cotton factory to become the richest man in the world. He spent the rest of his life giving away the fortune he had accumulated and crusading for international peace. For all that he accomplished and came to represent to the American public—a wildly successful businessman and capitalist, a self-educated writer, peace activist, philanthropist, man of letters, lover of culture, and unabashed enthusiast for American democracy and capitalism—Carnegie has remained, to this day, an enigma. Nasaw explains how Carnegie made his early fortune and what prompted him to give it all away, how he was drawn into the campaign first against American involvement in the Spanish-American War and then for international peace, and how he used his friendships with presidents and prime ministers to try to pull the world back from the brink of disaster. With a trove of new material—unpublished chapters of Carnegie's Autobiography; personal letters between Carnegie and his future wife, Louise, and other family members; his prenuptial agreement; diaries of family and close friends; his applications for citizenship; his extensive correspondence with Henry Clay Frick; and dozens of private letters to and from presidents Grant, Cleveland, McKinley, Roosevelt, and British prime ministers Gladstone and Balfour, as well as friends Herbert Spencer, Matthew Arnold, and Mark Twain—Nasaw brilliantly plumbs the core of this fascinating and complex man, deftly placing his life in cultural and political context as only a master storyteller can.

This interdisciplinary study breaks new ground by exploring relations between Protestants (mainly Pentecostals) and the Sandinistas in revolutionary Nicaragua, which to date have received scant attention. It challenges the view that most Protestants supported the Sandinistas (in fact, the majority vigorously opposed them) and establishes why many believed Nicaragua was heading towards communism or totalitarianism. Meanwhile, the Sandinistas expressed irritation with Pentecostalism’s otherworldliness and support for Israel. Pentecostals were harassed, even brutally repressed in the northern highlands, leading many to join the Contras. That a minority of Protestants supported the Sandinistas caused further problems. Pentecostals and Sandinistas were ideological rivals offering an alternative vision to the poor: revolution or revival. As Pentecostalism exploded, a collision between the two was inevitable.
