Burnside
ISBN: 9780807871348 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 552 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Ambrose Burnside, the Union general, was a major player on the Civil War stage from the first clash at Bull Run until the final summer of the war. He led a corps or army during most of this time and played important roles in various theaters of the war. But until now, he has been remembered mostly for his distinctive side-whiskers that gave us the term "sideburns" and as an incompetent leader who threw away thousands of lives in the bloody battle of Fredericksburg.
In a biography focusing on the Civil War years, William Marvel reveals a more capable Burnside who managed to acquit... Ambrose Burnside, the Union general, was a major player on the Civil War stage from the first clash at Bull Run until the final summer of the war. He ...

Lincoln's Autocrat: The Life of Edwin Stanton
ISBN: 9781469636153 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 632 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Edwin M. Stanton (1814-1869), one of the nineteenth century's most impressive legal and political minds, wielded enormous influence and power as Lincoln's secretary of war during most of the Civil War and under Johnson during the early years of Reconstruction. In the first full biography of Stanton in more than fifty years, William Marvel offers a detailed reexamination of Stanton's life, career, and legacy. Marvel argues that while Stanton was a formidable advocate and politician, his character was hardly benign. Climbing from a difficult youth to the pinnacle of power, Stanton used his...

Lee's Last Retreat: The Flight to Appomattox
ISBN: 9780807857038 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Few events in Civil War history have generated such deliberate mythmaking as the retreat that ended at Appomattox. William Marvel offers the first history of the Appomattox campaign written primarily from contemporary source material, with a skeptical eye toward memoirs published well after the events they purport to describe.
Marvel shows that during the final week of the war in Virginia, Lee's troops were more numerous yet far less faithful to their cause than has been suggested. He also proves accounts of the congenial intermingling of the armies at Appomattox to be shamelessly...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) On June 19, 1864, the Confederate cruiser Alabama and the USS Kearsarge faced off in the English Channel outside the French port of Cherbourg. About an hour after the Alabama fired the first shot, it began to sink, and its crew was forced to wave the white flag of surrender.
Working with personal papers and diaries and contemporary reports, historian William Marvel interweaves the stories of these two celebrated Civil War warships, from their construction to their climactic encounter off Cherbourg. Just as importantly, he illuminates the day-to-day experiences...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Marvel vividly recreates President Lincoln's first year in office, drawing the conclusion that Lincoln actually fanned the flames of war and often acted unconstitutionally in prosecuting the war once it had begun.

A Place Called Appomattox
ISBN: 9781469628394 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Although Appomattox Court House is one of the most symbolically charged places in America, it was an ordinary tobacco-growing village both before and after an accident of fate brought the armies of Lee and Grant together there. It is that Appomattox--the typical small Confederate community--that William Marvel portrays in this deeply researched, compelling study. He tells the story of the Civil War from the perspective of those who inhabited one of the conflict's most famous sites.
The village sprang into existence just as Texas became a state and reached its peak not long before Lee... Although Appomattox Court House is one of the most symbolically charged places in America, it was an ordinary tobacco-growing village both before and ...

Andersonville: The Last Depot
ISBN: 9780807857816 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 350 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Between February 1864 and April 1865, 41,000 Union prisoners of war were taken to the stockade at Anderson Station, Georgia, where nearly 13,000 of them died. Most contemporary accounts placed the blame for the tragedy squarely on the shoulders of the Confederates who administered the prison or on a conspiracy of higher-ranking officials. According to William Marvel, virulent disease and severe shortages of vegetables, medical supplies, and other necessities combined to create a crisis beyond the captors' control. He also argues that the tragedy was aggravated by the Union decision to suspend...
