S’il est un conflit remarquable à tous égards, il ne peut s'agir que de la guerre civile américaine, plus connue de ce côté de l'Atlantique sous la désignation de Guerre de sécession.
Ce conflit qui opposa, de 1861 à 1865, les armées du Sud à celles de l’Union de la presque centenaire république des Etats-Unis d'Amérique du nord, demeure dans les annales comme la dernière guerre classique - par certains aspects, héritière des guerres napoléoniennes - et la première vraie guerre moderne du XXe siècle, avec, pour la première fois, une utilisation massive et souvent intensive des technologies « de pointe ».
Ce conflit fratricide est le fruit d'une longue suite de compromis politiques, économiques et idéologiques entre deux civilisations qui ne masquaient que bien imparfaitement les fractures. Les féroces appétits du Nord opposés aux principes d'indépendance des états du Sud ne pouvaient mener qu'à l'explosion.
Quatre ans de conflit acharné, meurtrier, sanglant, total, où Johnny Reb ne faisait pas quartier à son frère Billy Yank. Tout a été dit, ou écrit sur ce conflit : la joie de vivre du Sud, son élégance, son esprit chevaleresque, son attachement aux traditions séculaires y compris celle de l'esclavage, affrontant la machine de guerre industrielle du Nord, ses valeurs humanistes, son courage de boutiquier mais aussi son avidité et son implacable esprit de planification. D'Autant en emporte le vent à Naissance d'une Nation, tous les clichés ont été utilisés.
Cet ouvrage vous présente le plus large panorama possible de l'uniforme porté par les belligérants de ce conflit Les silhouettes les plus caractéristiques, les principes d'organisation de base seront, au gré des chapitres, exposés sous la forme désormais célèbre des livres signés Heimdal.

Hardcover. Etat : new. Jouineau, André (illustrateur). Hardcover. If theres one conflict that was remarkable from a lot of points of view, it was the American Civil War, better known in France as the War of Secession. In this war the armies of the South opposed those of the North the Union of the almost hundred-years old republic of the United States of (North) America; it remains in the annals as the last classic war in certain aspects the heir to the Napoleonic wars and the first real modern war of the 20th Century in which state of the art technologies were used for the first time on a massive and intensive scale. This bloody conflict was the result of a long chain of political, economic and ideological compromises between two civilisations which barely concealed the differences opposing them. The ferocious appetites of the North against the principles of independence of the Southern States could only lead to an explosion. Four years of relentless, bloody and total war during which Johnny Reb gave no quarter to his brother Billy Yank. Everything has been said and written about this war: the joie de vivre of the South, its elegance, its chivalrous spirit, its attachment to secular traditions including slavery, facing the Norths industrial war machine, its humanist values, its small-minded courage, but also its avidity and its implacable spirit of organisation. From Gone with the Wind to Birth of a Nation, all the cliches have been used. This book gives you as large a panorama as possible of the uniforms worn by the belligerents during this conflict. The most characteristic silhouettes and the principles of basic organisation, as circumstances dictated, are shown in the now celebrated form of Heimdals books.
