Описание: The Great Lie of the Civil War

If you think the Civil War was fought to end slavery, you've been duped.

In fact, as distinguished military historian Samuel Mitcham argues in his provocative new book, It Wasn't About Slavery, no political party advocated freeing the slaves in the presidential election of 1860. The Republican Party platform opposed the expansion of slavery to the western states, but it did not embrace abolition.

The real cause of the war was a dispute over money and self-determination.

Before the Civil War, the South financed most of the federal government--because the federal government was funded by tariffs, which were paid disproportionately by the agricultural South that imported manufactured goods.

Yet, most federal government spending and subsidies benefited the North. The South wanted a more limited federal government and lower tariffs--the ideals of Thomas Jefferson--and when the South could not get that, it opted for independence.

Lincoln was unprepared when the Southern states seceded, and force was the only way to bring them--and their tariff money--back. That was the real cause of the war.

A well-documented and compelling read by a master historian, It Wasn't About Slavery will change the way you think about Abraham Lincoln, the Emancipation Proclamation, and the cause and legacy of America's momentous Civil War.

Описание: At fourteen he became the head of his impoverished family, responsible for feeding eleven on the rough American frontier. By thirty-nine he had established himself as a successful plantation owner worth over $1 million. And at forty years old, Nathan Bedford Forrest enlisted in a Tennessee cavalry regiment--and became a controversial Civil War legend.

The legacy of General Nathan Bedford Forrest is deeply divisive. Best known for being accused of war crimes at the Battle of Fort Pillow and for his role as first Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan--an organization he later denounced--Forrest has often been studied as a military figure, but never before studied as a fascinating individual who wrestled with the complex issues of his violent times. Bust Hell Wide Open is a comprehensive portrait of Nathan Bedford Forrest as a man: his achievements, failings, reflections, and regrets.

Описание: Before dawn on December 16, 1944, German forces rolled through the frozen Ardennes in their last major offensive in the west, thus starting the Battle of the Bulge, which would become the U.S. Army`s bloodiest engagement of World War II. Catching the Allies by surprise, the Germans made early gains, demolished the inexperienced U.S.

Описание: The endgame for Hitler's Reich

Hitler's army had dared all to win all on the Western Front with its surprise winter campaign in the Ardennes, the "Battle of the Bulge." But when American and Allied forces recovered from their initial shock, the German Army, the Wehrmacht, was left fighting for its very survival--especially on the Eastern Front, where the Soviet Army was intent on matching, or even surpassing, Nazi atrocities.

At the mercy of the Fuhrer--who refused to acknowledge reality and insisted on forbidding German retreats--the Wehrmacht was slowly annihilated in horrific battles that have rarely been adequately covered in histories of the Second World War, perhaps most especially the brutal Soviet siege of Budapest, which became known as "the Stalingrad of the Waffen-SS."

Now, at last, veteran military historian Dr. Samuel Mitcham, in the capstone of a career covering of more than forty books--most of them on the German Armed Forces in World War II--tells the extraordinary tale of how Hitler's once-feared war machine came to a cataclysmic end, from the Battle of the Bulge in December 1944 to the German surrender in May 1945.

Making use of German wartime papers and memoirs--some rarely seen in English-language sources--Mitcham's sweeping narrative makes Death Throes: The Demise of the Wehrmacht and the Fall of the Third Reich a book that needs to be on the shelf of every student of World War II history.
