The War Lectures 1861-1865

Languages : en
Pages : 476
Book Description
This book is the first of three volumes that I have planned to write over the next few years. Since this book is a part of a larger project I feel compelled to explain some of the idiosyncrasies that exist, particularly in Lecture I because the principles, theories and corollaries of war explained in this lecture are applied to the follow-on lectures. In essence, Lecture I provides the foundation for all of the other lectures. During this first discussion I reference not only the American Civil War, but also later American wars through the Gulf Wars of 1991 and 2003. Also, within the text of the lectures of this volume, I refer to incidents that I will cover in the future. If the reader wishes to move on to the other wars, the bibliography for supplemental reading includes the sources that I will use when I discuss these future wars. However, this volume stands alone nicely, as will the others. At the beginning of each battle and campaign that I discuss in this volume, I have suggested that the readers supplement their reading with biographical sketches of some of the significant participants in the events. From my studies I have found that wars and battles are not impersonal but reflect the thinking and backgrounds of those individuals directly involved in the action. I feel that these supplemental assignments will enhance the reader's understanding of the complexities of armed conflict. Finally, this book is neither pro-war nor anti-war. Without question, war is a horrible human experience. The suffering in war is beyond the wildest imagination of the non-participant. Because of the horror and suffering, war must be reserved for only those events that threaten the vital national interests of our country. This series is a discussion to help the reader understand that war is not a romantic adventure but scars the very element of human existence. War is not an amateur's game.
Five Lectures on the American Civil War, 1861–1865
Author: Raimondo LuraghiPublisher: John Cabot University Press
ISBN: 1611494273
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 85
Book Description
The product of over thirty years of research on the American Civil War by Italy’s most renowned authority on the subject, this study synthetically analyzes the great drama that from 1861 to 1865 devastated the United States and gave life to the modern American nation. The book also highlights how the Civil War was the first conflict of the industrial age and an often neglected premonition of the two great world wars that shook the world in the twentieth century. The short essays presented here are the texts of five lectures delivered several years ago at the Istituto Italiano di Studi Filosofici in Naples and published in Italy in 1997.

What Caused the Civil War?: Reflections on the South and Southern History
Author: Edward L. AyersPublisher: W. W. Norton & Company
ISBN: 0393285154
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 140
Book Description
“An extremely good writer, [Ayers] is well worth reading . . . on the South and Southern history.”—Stephen Sears, Boston Globe The Southern past has proven to be fertile ground for great works of history. Peculiarities of tragic proportions—a system of slavery flourishing in a land of freedom, secession and Civil War tearing at a federal Union, deep poverty persisting in a nation of fast-paced development—have fed the imaginations of some of our most accomplished historians. Foremost in their ranks today is Edward L. Ayers, author of the award-winning and ongoing study of the Civil War in the heart of America, the Valley of the Shadow Project. In wide-ranging essays on the Civil War, the New South, and the twentieth-century South, Ayers turns over the rich soil of Southern life to explore the sources of the nation's and his own history. The title essay, original here, distills his vast research and offers a fresh perspective on the nation's central historical event.
