Download or read book Robert E. Lee in War and Peace written by Donald A. Hopkins and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2013-10-19 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert E. Lee is well known as a Confederate general and as an educator later in life, but most people are exposed to the same handful of images of one of America’s most famous sons. It has been almost seven decades since anyone has attempted a serious study of Lee in photographs, and with Don Hopkins’s painstakingly researched and lavishly illustrated Robert E. Lee in War and Peace, the wait is finally over. Dr. Hopkins, a Mississippi surgeon and lifelong student of the Civil War and Southern history with a recent interest in Robert E. Lee’s “from life” photographs, scoured manuscript repositories and private collections across the country to locate every known Lee image (61 in all) in existence today. The detailed text accompanying these images provides a sweeping history of Lee’s life and a compelling discussion of antique photography, with biographical sketches of all of Lee’s known photographers. The importance of information within the photographer’s imprint or backmark is emphasized throughout the book. Hopkins offers a substantial amount of previously unknown information about these images, how each came to be, and the mistakes in fact and attribution other authors and writers have made describing photographs of Lee to the reading public. Many of the images in this book are being published for the first time. In addition to a few rare photographs and formats that were uncovered during the research phase of Robert E. Lee in War and Peace, the author offers—for the first time—definitive and conclusive attribution of the identity of the photographer of the well-known Lee “in the field” images, and reproduces a startling imperial-size photograph of Lee made by Alexander Gardner of Washington, D.C. Students of American history in general and the Civil War in particular, as well as collectors and dealers who deal with Civil War era photography, will find Hopkins’s outstanding Robert E. Lee in War and Peace a true contribution to the growing literature on the Civil War. About the Author: Born in the rural South, Donald A. Hopkins has maintained a fascination with Southern history since he was a child. In addition to published papers in the medical field, he has written several Civil War articles and The Little Jeff: The Jeff Davis Legion, Cavalry, Army of Northern Virginia for which he received the United Daughters of the Confederacy’s Jefferson Davis Historical Gold Medal. Dr. Hopkins served as Battalion Surgeon for the 1st Battalion, 9th Marines, (better known as “The Walking Dead”) in Vietnam. He was awarded the purple heart and the Bronze Star with combat “V.” Dr. Hopkins is a surgeon in Gulfport, Mississippi, where he lives with his wife Cindy and their golden retriever Dixie.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In tribute to the gallant leaders of the Pacific war, the editors of this book have prepared a brief summary highlighting their military and naval careers. We were indeed fortunate to have at the helm men of such integrity and brilliance of purpose. They assumed the mighty tasks of battle with courage, foresight and confidence and have so directed our fighting men that their names shall be indelibly imprinted in the history of the United States as symbols of the democratic principle, "that government of the people, for the people and by the people shall not perish from the earth." For indeed these great leaders are first of all Americans ... Americans who faced the challenge of World War II and by their efforts surmounted it. We are proud to salute them! This publication is a photographic description of WWII, containing 400 photos from Dec 7, 1941 to V-J Day, Sept. 2, 1945.

Book excerpt: "The magazine Signal was a major weapon in the propaganda war carried on by Nazi Germany in occupied Europe between 1940 and 1944. Published in several languages, it set out to prove to its readers that culturally, racially, and economically, Germany was the natural master of Europe ... one cannot fail to be staggered by the artistic skill and technical mastery of these unknown photographers who managed to convey so brilliantly the 'glamour' of warfare as waged by the Third Reich. In many cases the editors have reprinted the original captions to convey to the reader the spirit in which Germany went to war. When the original caption seems at odds with better authenticated versions of the history of the war this has been pointed out, and the progress of each campaign is briefly outlined in order to set the photographs in their historical perspective."--Front jacket flap.

This book was released on 2019-06-11 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bestselling author David Shields analyzed over a decade's worth of front-page war photographs fromTheNew York Timesand came to a shocking conclusion: the photo-editing process ofthe "paper of record,"by way of pretty, heroic, and lavishly aesthetic image selection, pullsthe woolover the eyes of its readers; Shields forces us to face not only the the media's complicity in dubious and catastrophic military campaigns but our own as well.This powerful media mouthpiece, the mightyTimes, far from being a check on governmental power, is in reality a massive amplifier for its dark forces by virtue of the way it aestheticizeswarfare. Anyone baffled by the willful American involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan can't help but see in this book how eagerly and invariably theTimesled the way in making the case for these wars through the manipulation of its visuals. Shields forces the reader to weigh the consequences of our own passivity in the face of these images' opiatic numbing. The photographs gathered inWar Is Beautiful, often beautiful and always artful, are filters of reality rather than the documentary journalism they purport to be.
