Some failed to register for the draft, while others deserted after being inducted. In the countryside, armed bands of deserters defied local authorities; capturing them required the dispatch of federal troops into three southern states.
Jeanette Keith traces southern draft resistance to several sources, including whites' long-term political opposition to militarism, southern blacks' reluctance to serve a nation that refused to respect their rights, the peace witness of southern churches, and, above all, anger at class bias in federal conscription policies. Keith shows how draft dodgers' success in avoiding service resulted from the failure of southern states to create effective mechanisms for identifying and classifying individuals.
Lacking local-level data on draft evaders, the federal government used agencies of surveillance both to find reluctant conscripts and to squelch antiwar dissent in rural areas. Drawing upon rarely used local draft board reports, Selective Service archives, Bureau of Investigation reports, and southern political leaders' constituent files, Keith offers new insights into rural southern politics and society as well as the growing power of the nation-state in early twentieth-century America.

In Rich Man Poor Man, comedian and bestselling author Adam Carolla exposes the phenomena that are embraced by the really rich and the really poor--but never the middle class--like having an outdoor shower, wearing your pajamas all day, or always having your dog with you. Combining Adam's inimitable comedic voice and four-color illustrations by his friend Michael Narren, Rich Man Poor Man is a hilariously accurate look at what the people born with silver spoons in their mouths have in common with the people whose only utensils are plastic sporks stolen from a Shakey's.
When the rich young ruler asked Jesus how he could obtain eternal life, Jesus told him to sell everything and give it to the poor. He went away sorrowing because he had great possessions.
What if someone who was really rich actually did sell everything he owned and gave the money to the poor? Would he know how to survive without money? How would people treat him? Would he try to get a job? There are many possible outcomes. This book explores one of them. Along the way, the man encounters several interesting people who teach him important lessons including humility. In the end, he comes to a greater understanding of why Jesus told the ruler to sell everything and give the money to the poor.
It wasn't about money at all. The Bible is clear in teaching that eternal life is only obtained by faith in Jesus Christ. Why then did Jesus tell the man to do what He did?

But when he tries to cash the money, he uncovers some well kept secrets.
Starvation, filth, and killing poverty were the vile realities of his childhood until Liam McGregor escaped London's Whitechapel hell for good. His success in the real world had only begun to erase his nightmare when his heart discovered the beautiful Lady Millicent.

Because no one could be so lucky to escape Whitechapel twice and live to tell about it. Like the robber barons of the 19th century Gilded Age, a new and proliferating crop of billionaires is driving rapid development and industrialization in poor countries. The accelerated industrial growth spurs economic prosperity for some, but it also widens the gap between the super rich and the rest of the population, especially the very poor.
Freund finds that these titans of industry are propelling poor countries out of their small-scale production and agricultural past and into a future of multinational industry and service-based mega firms. And more often than not, the new billionaires are using their newfound acumen to navigate the globalized economy, without necessarily relying on political connections, inheritance, or privileged access to resources.
This story of emerging-market billionaires and the global businesses they create dramatically illuminates the process of industrialization in the modern world economy. Their father is the local baker, and nothing suggests they will live storied lives.
Yet, in this sprawling saga, each member of the family pushes against the grain of history and confronts the perils and pleasures of a world devastated by conflict and transformed by American commerce and culture.
