For many years Joe Johnston has been given far less than his due as a Confederate hero, and able, devoted general. This partial eclipse was the work of his powerful enemy, Jefferson Davis, who emerges as the second leading figure in this book. The two men held opposing strategic views. Against the best of the Union commanders Johnston's record matches Lee's. But Davis missed no opportunity to blacken Johnston's reputation. Only his patriotic devotion to the Southern cause prevented him from resigning. Govan and Livingwood write quietly, but their material cuts deep. In the process they explode some long, unchallenged beliefs and cut off some exalted heads.

History & Criticism

This book is about the American Civil War. More than any other conflict the Civil War tore at the fabric of American Life. There was no way to stand outside the conflict; it changed everyone's life. Out of this shattering ordeal came many strange and interesting stories. The Civil War; An American Iliad give us these stories in the participants own words.

Americas

This book is the sixth in a series and as in his previous work, Congdon has selected narratives which project the intense personal experiences of men actually in the front lines. He believes that this is approach is the one most likely to give the reader an understanding of what the war was like. This book makes no attempt to present an overall history of the American Civil War. Battles fought west of the Mississippi are not included as they lacked the scope of major engagements fought in the East and had no comparable effect upon the war's outcome. Each combat selection is preceded by introductory material which helps clarify the grand strategy of the war, campaign by campaign, and shows individual battles in true perspective. The rest is up to the reader. And here he will find Billy Yank and Johnny Reb warming up their muzzle loaders while on the picket line.

Kennedy

A powerfully moving biography of JFK by one of his closest friends and advisors. Sorensen's work was first published in 1965 when the wounds caused by the assassination had barely time to heal. It has remained a classic and is indispensable for an evaluation of Kennedy and his place in history.
