First published in 1875, General William T. Sherman's memoir was one of the first from the Civil War and was offered to the public because, as Sherman wrote in his dedication, "no satisfactory history" of the war was yet available. Although Memoirs has been revised and corrected many times over the years, Sherman famously never changed the original text of his recollections.

My favorite civil war book evet
Revisado: 08-27-24
I am a twenty-year audio book junkie and a US Civil War nerd. I spend the equivalent of about thirty 24-hour days per year listening to books and the civil war probably accounts for 40-50% of my listening. I think this may be my favorite civil war book of all. Sherman’s first-person, straight forward, unpretentious style is very appealing. But the outstanding feature of this book is the frequent and substantive inclusion of source documents – the texts of actual letters, telegrams, military orders and instructions, battle and campaign reports, newspaper articles, etc. They bring history into the realm of real life. The book also abounds with Sherman’s insights (mostly generous) into many of the great personages of the war on both sides.

The Vision of the Anointed is a devastating critique of the mindset behind the failed social policies of the past thirty years. Thomas Sowell sees what has happened not as a series of isolated mistakes, but as a logical consequence of a vision whose defects have led to disasters in education, crime, family disintegration, and other social pathology. In this book, "politically correct" theory is repeatedly confronted with facts-and sharp contradictions between the two are explained in terms of a whole set of self-congratulatory assumptions held by political and intellectual elites.

Having been written in the late 20th century, this book shines a floodlight of insight into understanding contemporary America in 2023. Sowell is brilliant.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 587
The former Confederate states have continually mythologized the South's defeat to the North, depicting the Civil War as unnecessary, or as a fight over states' Constitutional rights, or as a David v. Goliath struggle in which the North waged "total war" over an underdog South. In The Myth of the Lost Cause, historian Edward Bonekemper deconstructs this multi-faceted myth, revealing the truth about the war that nearly tore the nation apart 150 years ago.

A systematic dismantling of The Lost Cause
myth. Very excellent work in showing the primacy of slavery to cessation, the critical analysis of Lee, and the under rating of Grant.
