Cradle of Violence: How Boston's Waterfront Mobs Ignited the American Revolution

Governor's mansion, and fighting British soldiers in the streets. Mr. Bourne discusses his book at the Old South Meeting House in Boston, Massachusetts.

Russell Bourne has worked at Life magazine and as an editor at the Smithsonian and American Heritage Books. He is the author of "Americans on the Move: A History of Waterways, Railways and Highways," "Red King's Rebellion: Racial Politics in New England 1675-1679," "Rivers of America: Birthplaces of Culture, Commerce and Community" and "Gods of War, Gods of Peace: How the Meeting of Native and Colonial Religions Shaped Early America."

The Fire of His Genius: Robert Fulton and the American Dream
Kirkpatrick Sale

In "The Fire of His Genius," historian Kirkpatrick Sale depicts the early days of inventor Robert Fulton's life and his numerous inventions. Some of his patents include an inclined plane, a rope-maker, a submarine, an underwater cannon, and a steam frigate. Mr. Sale points out that while Robert Fulton did not invent the steamboat, his knowledge of machinery and an ability to incorporate the inventions of others into his own work led to the development of the first truly workable steamship. The author explains that Robert Fulton's North River steamboat, that made a successful four-day round-trip to Albany, ushered in the Industrial Revolution and transformed nineteenth-century America.

Kirkpatrick Sale is a contributing editor of The Nation and the author of several books, including "Conquest of Paradise: Christopher Columbus and the Columbian Conquest," "Dwellers in the Land: The Bioregional Vision," "The Green Revolution: The American Environmental Movement 1962-1992," "After Eden: The Evolution of Human Domination" and "Rebels Against the Future: The Luddites and Their War on the Industrial Revolution."

Ray McGovern, who worked as a CIA analyst for 27 years, discusses what the intelligence community was saying about Iraq prior to the war and talks about a confrontation he had with Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld during an event in Atlanta this past May. After their presentations, writer/director Robert Taicher makes remarks about his new documentary "Rush to War" (www.rushtowar.com). The discussion is moderated by Take On the Media founder Jeff Norman (www.takeonthemedia.org).
