May 5 is a date with whiplash range: revolution-forming debates in Versailles, gunpowder and courage at Puebla, a perfume that turned into a century-long icon, and a rocket ride that shoved the American imagination past the sky. It also holds darker echoes—occupation, liberation, uprising, and the hard work of rebuilding what violence tried to erase. This Echoes edition pulls those contrasts into one thread: how cultures remember, how power shifts, and how a single day can carry both celebration and scar tissue. If you like history that feels textured—beautiful in places, brutal in others—May 5 delivers the full human spectrum.
paperback, 8.5" x 11", 50 illustrations
