US Coast Guard image of a massive smoke cloud billowing into the sky from the spot where the World Trade Center once stood. The picture, by Tom Sperduto, was captured shortly after the Twin Towers collapsed following the devastating terrorist attack on New York on September 11 2001. The towers disintegrated less than two hours after two out of four hijacked airliners were deliberately crashed into them as part of a co-ordinated Al-Qaeda suicide attack which killed thousands of people. A third airliner was crashed into the Pentagon in Virginia and a fourth crashed into a field in Pennsylvania as passengers fought to retake control.

Lithograph colour print circa 1888 depicting the Battle of Antietam during the American Civil War. The battle, also known as the Battle of Sharpsburg, took place on September 17 1862 near Sharpsburg, Maryland. It was the first major engagement of the American Civil War to take place on Northern soil and the bloodiest single-day battle in American history with around 23,000 casualties. Union troops (the Army of the Potomac) were under the command of Major General George Brinton McClellan and the Confederate forces were led by General Robert Edward Lee (Army of Northern Virginia). The battle was tactically inconclusive but is often described as a strategic Union victory because it ended Lee's invasion of the North. Print by Kurz & Allison.
CUBA Guantanamo Bay -- c.2002 -- Detainee hospital ward, Camp Delta, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The Guantanamo Bay facility has been widely criticised by lawyers and human rights groups, as many detainees were simply bought from dubious Afghan warlords and it is thought many of the inmates have little to do with Al Queda. Despite this, many were tortured by US forces upon their detention, seemingly on orders from George W Bush himself (or at least his office). Very few "terrorists" have since been convicted with any solid evidence and almost 200 people have died in US detention facilities like this - most of them innocent men.

Description
Vintage lithograph print depicting the Battle of Hampton Roads, often known as the Battle of the Monitor and Merrimack (or Merrimac), during the American Civil War. The battle, the most famous naval engagement of the war, was fought on March 8 + 9 1862 off Sewell's Point at Hampton Roads, Virginia, where the Elizabeth + Nansemond Rivers meet the James River just before it enters Chesapeake Bay. It was part of a Confederate bid to break a Union blockade which had cut off Virginia's largest cities Norfolk and Richmond from international trade. The engagement was significant because it was the world's first meeting in combat of two ironclad warships - the Confederate CSS Virginia (in reality the salvaged federal frigate USS Merrimack which had been fitted with iron armour and renamed the Virginia) and the smaller Union USS Monitor. On March 8 the Virginia destroyed two conventional wooden Union ships and a third, the USS Minnesota, ran aground (burning offshore in the print to the left of the fighting ironclads). The next day the Virginia returned to finish off the Minnesota but was met by the Monitor which had arrived overnight and took position to defend the Minnesota. The ironclads fought for around three hours but neither inflicted fatal damage and there was no clear winner. The battle won worldwide publicity and marked a new era in naval warfare - leading naval powers Britain and France halted construction of wooden-hulled ships and others soon followed. Print c1889 by Kurz & Allison.

Portrait photo circa 1860 of Andrew Johnson. Johnson (1808 - 1875) was the 17th US President (1865 - 1869) and took office following the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. He was the first Vice President to succeed to the Presidency due to the assassination of a predecessor and had himself been a target of the assassination conspirators (Johnson's would-be assassin fled Washington after losing his nerve). Johnson subsequently became the first sitting US President to be impeached (1868) but was eventually acquitted of "high crimes and misdemeanors", the primary allegation being that he violated the Tenure of Office Act. Historians often rank Johnson as one of the worst US Presidents. Photo by Jesse Whitehurst.
