It is to re mind the people of the South that the very fact that the war has gone against them makes it more important that its records should not fall entirely to the pens of their enemies. All per sons in the South who assist in gathering the true testimony of their unfortunate struggle, perform a last, but most important office of faithful love, and do a noble work in rescuing the name of a lost cause from the slanders of those who, having been our accusers and executioners in this present time, would also be our judges at the Bar of History.

Download or read book No Man's Land written by John Toland and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 862 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1918: The end of the war to end all wars. The end of an era for victors and vanquished alike. When Germany launched the Ludendorf Offensives—the most massive military bombardment of World War I—they seemed certain to win. But when American troops began arriving in droves, the Allies' certain defeat became a decisive victory. No Man's Land takes us into the trenches, behind enemy lines, into military strategy sessions and through the corridors of power in London, Paris, Berlin, and Washington in a brilliant account of one of the most fateful years in Western history. Drawing on new sources—diaries, memoirs, vivid personal experiences—here is a book that for sheer excitement, drama, vigor, and emotional impact rivals the greatest novels, history marvelously told by the incomparable John Toland. "A compelling human picture...a marvelous job by a master of the big-canvas history." Business Week
Book Synopsis The Last Year of the War by : Shirley Nelson
Download or read book The Last Year of the War written by Shirley Nelson and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2004-10-05 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Born again" in a conversion experience while in high school in Massachusetts, Jo Fuller leaves her scoffing family and the intolerable memory of her brother's fresh death in World War II for the Calvary Bible Institute in Chicago. In dormitory, classroom, and dining hall, all assembled are more or less earnestly studying for the pastorate, the music ministry, or missionary work. Jo meets up with Clyde McQuade, a discharged veteran who starts bird-dogging the girl immediately but to whom Jo is hardly attracted; what's of note about Clyde is his zealousness (he irons out discarded tracts) and determinism ("I'm no hotshot, and neither are you. Whether we like it or not, He has given us to each other for this purpose, to be partners in faith")--and his near-psychopathic feeling that his spiritual progress is connected with how well the war goes in Europe. Jo falls in and out of crushes with other boys, but Clyde is always there, like a reproach. Jo's doubt begins to grow: Is her faith simply a need for security? Is God her substitute for her dead brother, whom she deeply offended by her belief before his death? Nelson's best stroke in this first novel (winner of the Harper-Saxton Fellowship) is how well she humanizes the religious experience. The core is doubt, and doubts stick to people. A quiet, authoritative style, a trained eye (when a gravelly-voice teacher starts to speak, many of the students unconsciously clear their own throats), and a deep, probably autobiographical commitment to her subject make something completely convincing out of Nelson's very personal, contemplative, and "unsexy" raw material. - Kirkus Review

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Red Cross in This War Two years ago the Red Cross member ship was hardly more than twenty-five thousand; today it is twenty-three million. Two years ago its income for war relief was trivial; this last year it was well over money given twice because given quickly, money skillfully expended by experts, with every penny vouched for and recorded with absolute accuracy and fidelity. And I believe that America is ready to refill the Red Cross treasury whenever the right moment comes to ask for it. America's heart has been deeply touched by the miseries of others. But do we Americans appreciate the seriousness of our own position? I think not. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis The Last Year of the War by : Susan Meissner
Download or read book The Last Year of the War written by Susan Meissner and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-04-07 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the acclaimed author of Secrets of a Charmed Life and As Bright as Heaven comes a novel about a German American teenager whose life changes forever when her immigrant family is sent to an internment camp during World War II. In 1943, Elise Sontag is a typical American teenager from Iowa—aware of the war but distanced from its reach. Then her father, a legal U.S. resident for nearly two decades, is suddenly arrested on suspicion of being a Nazi sympathizer. The family is sent to an internment camp in Texas, where, behind the armed guards and barbed wire, Elise feels stripped of everything beloved and familiar, including her own identity. The only thing that makes the camp bearable is meeting fellow internee Mariko Inoue, a Japanese-American teen from Los Angeles, whose friendship empowers Elise to believe the life she knew before the war will again be hers. Together in the desert wilderness, Elise and Mariko hold tight the dream of being young American women with a future beyond the fences. But when the Sontag family is exchanged for American prisoners behind enemy lines in Germany, Elise will face head-on the person the war desires to make of her. In that devastating crucible she must discover if she has the will to rise above prejudice and hatred and re-claim her own destiny, or disappear into the image others have cast upon her. The Last Year of the War tells a little-known story of World War II with great resonance for our own times and challenges the very notion of who we are when who we’ve always been is called into question.

Download or read book My Italian Year written by Joseph Collins and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Italian Year: Observations and Reflections in Italy During the Last Year of the War The writer of these observations and reflections, since childhood a lover of Italy, an admirer of the Italian people, and a frequent visitor to their country, was in the latter part of 1917 assigned to military duty in Italy. He witnessed the remarkable adjustment of the country's internal resistance which took place after the Caporetto disaster, and which blossoming on the Piave in June, 1918, had its fruition in the magnificent victory of the Italian army four months later. The duties of his assignment brought him in close contact with Italians in every walk of life and in every part of the kingdom. Trained by a life of observation, examination and deduction, it was in search of refreshment that the substance of these essays was set down for the entertainment and diversion of one whose thoughts were in Italy, but whose work was in the land that has radiated and reflected the light of liberty to the whole world; the land in which humanity fought its most glorious battle of the nineteenth century, and which to-day is the source of a purifying stream of liberalism in which are being washed the sins of militarism, class, and dynastic privilege. Though some of his statements may seem to disparage certain features of Italian conduct or activity, it is commendation rather than disparagement that the writer feels for the Italian people.

This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from With Sampson Through the War Roosevelt during the two ante-bellum months, but the Span iards wasted their labors, because they dealt with a ser vice without system, with crews that were not drilled, and with ships that were not cared for. It was not the sprint at the end, the feverish purchase of new ships or the repair of old ones, that enabled the United States Navy to meet all emergencies without hitch. No; it was the hammer, ham mer on the hard road of routine; the result of the gradual building up, by recent administrations, of a new navy based on modern lines, whose officers were men of intelligence and training, always eager to keep in touch with European innovations, and who were probably hampered less by pol itics than any other body of public servants in the United States. Secretary Long and Mr. Roosevelt did much to foster and perfect this system of up-to-date activity; but they were not creators, though excellent manipulators. They deserve all praise for their work, especially for the addition of those finishing touches that the best of engines require before steam is turned on.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nelson's History of the War, Vol. 20 At the end of June 1916 the Germans in the West had exhausted their capacity for the offensive, and the long Allied battle-line from the North Sea to the Adriatic was about to move forward. While Brussilov was pressing hard in Volhynia and Galicia and the Bukovina, the Battle of the Somme began, and by the close of the year it had effected its main purpose. We have already seen in detail the results of that great fight, which was up to date the most sustained effort of the campaign. It forced the enemy from positions which he thought impregnable, gravely depleted his man-power. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
