The best concise book we have on the subject McPherson is our most distinguished scholar of the Civil War era. The New York Times Book Review History has not been kind to Jefferson Davis.

The Conservative Resurgence and the Press: The Media's Role in the Rise of the Right

Consumers of American media find themselves in a news world that has shifted toward more conservative reporting. This book takes a measured, historical view of the shift, addressing factors that include the greater skill with which conservatives have used the media, the media s gradual trend toward conservatism, the role of religion, and the effects of media conglomeration. The book makes the case that the media have managed to not only enable today s conservative resurgence but also ignore, largely, the consequences of that change for the American people."

With the same grace and lyrical precision that distinguish his vibrant short stories, James McPherson surveys the emotional upheaval of his last twenty-one years.

More than 140 years ago, Mark Twain observed that the Civil War had "uprooted institutions that were centuries old, changed the politics of a people, transformed the social life of half the country, and wrought so profoundly upon the entire national character that the influence cannot be measured short of two or three generations." In fact, five generations have passed, and Americans are still trying to measure the influence of the immense fratricidal conflict that nearly tore the nation apart.

War on the Waters: The Union and Confederate Navies, 1861-1865
ISBN: 9780807838150 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 454 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Although previously undervalued for their strategic impact because they represented only a small percentage of total forces, the Union and Confederate navies were crucial to the outcome of the Civil War. In War on the Waters, James M. McPherson has crafted an enlightening, at times harrowing, and ultimately thrilling account of the war's naval campaigns and their military leaders.
McPherson recounts how the Union navy's blockade of the Confederate coast, leaky as a sieve in the war's early months, became increasingly effective as it choked off vital imports and exports. Meanwhile,... Although previously undervalued for their strategic impact because they represented only a small percentage of total forces, the Union and Confederate...

Tracing the activities of nearly 300 abolitionists and their descendants, he reveals that some played a crucial role in the establishment of schools and colleges for southern blacks, while others formed the vanguard of liberals who founded the NAACP in 1910. The author's examination of the complex and... Building on arguments presented in The Struggle for Equality, James McPherson shows that many abolitionists did not retreat from Reconstruct... |

Wickham, commander of the famous 101st Airborne Division in the 1970s and subsequently Army Chief of Staff, once visited Antietam battlefield. Gazing at Bloody Lane where, in 1862, several Union assaults were brutally repulsed before they finally broke through, he marveled, "You couldn't get American soldiers today to make an attack like that."

Why did the conventional wisdom -- that soldiers become increasingly cynical and disillusioned as war progresses --...
