Hardback. Etat : Good. The Lost Cause ideology that emerged after the Civil War and flourished in the early twentieth century sought to recast a struggle to perpetuate a slaveholding culture as a heroic defense of the South. As Adam Domby reveals in his new book, this was not only an insidious goal; it was founded on falsehoods. …

Paperback. Etat : Good. The recent rediscovery of Rebel Private: Front and Rear, effectively lost for decades, marks an authentic publishing event in the literature of the Civil War. A rare insight into the conflict from the point of view of a Confederate army enlisted man, this compelling memoir has been hailed by historians as a classic and indispensible key to understanding the Southern perspective. Margaret Mitchell even described it as her single most valuable source of research for Gone With the Wind. This stunning document is the work of a common foot soldier blessed with extraordinary perception and articulateness. After joining the famed Texas Brigade under Stonewall Jackson. Private William A. Fletcher saw action at Second Manassas, Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, Channcellorsville, and Chickamauga. He was wounded several times and escaped from a moving Union prison train before the South's surrender. In 1907, he published this powerfully evocative account of his exploits, a volume of frank, detailed recollections that spares none of the horror, courage, or absurdity of war. But a fire destroyed all but a few copies before they could be distributed. One copy, however, did make its way to the Library of Congress, where it was eventually discovered. Today, this colorful work has become the voice of the Civil War front-line grunt, speaking to the modern reader with the intensity of personal experience and a vividness of detail that gives it a riveting you-are-there quality.…

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. This contemporary classic explores the role of boys who fought in the Civil War. No reader's vision of America's most brutal and bloody war will be the same after reading this book. "This wrenching look at our nation's bloodiest conflict through the eyes of its youthful participants serves up history both heartbreaking and enlightening." --Publishers Weekly Some Union and Confederate soldiers were as young as twelve when they went off to fight in the Civil War. It is thought that as many as ten to twenty percent of all Civil War soldiers may have been under sixteen. The Boys' War follows these young soldiers through the rigors of camp life and drilling, right into the chaos of the battlefield. Jim Murphy skillfully weaves together firsthand accounts and personal letters of these countless young men with historical context to paint their portrait--young soldiers who, either seeking escape from the drudgery of farm work or embracing fantasies of glory, participated in the Civil War. Handsomely produced with numerous period photographs and drawings, The Boys' War is a winner of the Golden Kite Award for Nonfiction and an ALA Best Book for Young Adults. "Making extensive use of the actual words--culled from diaries, journals, memoirs, and letters--of boys who served in the Union and Confederate armies as fighting soldiers as well as drummers, buglers, and telegraphers, Murphy describes the beginnings of the Civil War and goes on to delineate the military role of the underage soldiers and their life in the camps and field bivouacs. Also included is a description of the boys' return home and the effects upon them of their wartime experiences. An excellent selection of more than 45 sepia-toned contemporary photographs augment the text of this informative, moving work." --School Library Journal (starred review) "This well-researched and readable account provides fresh insight into the human cost of a pivotal event in United States history." --The Horn Book (starred review).…

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. From the New York Times bestselling author of Washington?s Spies, the thrilling story of the Confederate spy who came to Britain to turn the tide of the Civil War?and the Union agent resolved to stop him.?Entertaining and deeply researched?with a rich cast of spies, crooks, bent businessmen and drunken sailors?Rose relates the tale with gusto.? -The New York Times In 1861, soon after the outbreak of the Civil War, two secret agents?one a Confederate, the other his Union rival?were dispatched to neutral Britain, each entrusted with a vital mission.The South?s James Bulloch, charming and devious, was to acquire a cutting-edge clandestine fleet intended to break President Lincoln?s blockade of Confederate ports, sink Northern merchant vessels, and drown the U.S. Navy?s mightiest ships at sea. The profits from gunrunning and smuggling cotton?Dixie?s notorious ?white gold??would finance the scheme. Opposing him was Thomas Dudley, a resolute Quaker lawyer and abolitionist. He was determined to stop Bulloch by any means necessary in a spy-versus-spy game of move and countermove, gambit and sacrifice, intrigue and betrayal. If Dudley failed, Britain would ally with the South and imperil a Northern victory. The battleground was the Dickensian port of Liverpool, whose dockyards built more ships each year than the rest of the world combined, whose warehouses stored more cotton than anywhere else on earth, and whose merchant princes, said one observer, were ?addicted to Southern proclivities, foreign slave trade, and domestic bribery.?From master of historical espionage Alexander Rose, The Lion and the Fox is the astonishing, untold tale of two implacable foes and their twilight struggle for the highest stakes. Based on declassified documents and forgotten letters, this gripping true story reveals:Clandestine Operations: Follow Confederate agent James Bulloch and his Union rival Thomas Dudley in a relentless contest of intrigue, gambit, and betrayal on the streets of Liverpool.The Secret Plot to Build a Navy: Uncover Bulloch?s audacious plan to use British shipyards to construct a fleet of commerce raiders and ironclads designed to shatter the Union blockade.King Cotton Diplomacy: Discover how the Confederacy planned to leverage Britain?s dependence on Southern cotton?so-called "white gold"?to finance its secret navy and draw the world?s greatest empire into the war.A Vivid, Forgotten Theater of War: Experience the squalor and intrigue of Dickensian Liverpool, the unlikely battleground where corrupt merchants, drunken sailors, and secret agents decided the fate of the American Civil War. …

Paperback. Etat : Fair. Nelson Lankford draws upon Civil War-era diaries, letters, memoirs, and newspaper reports to vividly recapture the experiences of the men and women, both black and white, who witnessed the tumultuous fall of Richmond. In April 1865 General Robert E. Lee realized that his army must retreat from the Confederate capital and that Jefferson Davis's government must flee. As the Southern soldiers moved out they set the city on fire, leaving a blazing ruin to greet the entering Union troops. The city's fall ushered in the birth of the modern United States. Lankford's exploration of this pivotal event is at once an authoritative work of history and a stunning piece of dramatic prose.…
