Synopsis

In "Recollections of a Confederate Staff Officer," Gilbert Moxley Sorrel offers a poignant and dynamic recounting of his experiences during the American Civil War. Written with a blend of personal reflection and historical analysis, Sorrel's narrative captures the trials and tribulations of a Confederate officer serving under the renowned General James Longstreet. The memoir is marked by a vivid literary style that combines narrative prose with rich imagery, allowing readers to immerse themselves in the complexities of war, loyalty, and leadership amid the pervasive chaos of battle. Sorrel's account is not just a soldier's tale; it is a poignant exploration of the moral dilemmas faced by commanders and soldiers alike, set against the backdrop of a fractured nation grappling with its identity. Gilbert Moxley Sorrel, born in 1838 in Georgia, was deeply influenced by the cultural milieu of the South and his family's military legacy. His insights as a staff officer stem from years spent navigating the intricacies of military life and the relationships forged in the crucible of conflict. Sorrel's literary voice reflects a synthesis of personal experience and broader historical context, making his observations both intimate and universally relevant. Readers interested in military history or the personal stories that shaped the American Civil War will find "Recollections of a Confederate Staff Officer" to be an indispensable resource. Sorrel not only illuminates the ethos of the Confederate cause but also delves into the broader themes of honor, sacrifice, and the brutal realities of war. This memoir stands as a testament to the human spirit, making it a compelling read for scholars and general audiences alike.

    Why is it that some people have all the elements of success—education, skills, integrity, motivation—but can't seem to move from effectiveness to excellence in their careers? Behavior expert Joe Navarro reveals the long-sought answer. Louder Than Words teaches how to master nonverbal intelligence, the ability to interpret and use nonverbal signals—in poker terms, "tells"—in business to assess and influence others. 
    Drawing on his decades in the behavioral sciences, Navarro shows how to use his simple yet powerful "comfort/discomfort" model to decode what's really being said at meetings, interviews, negotiations, presentations, business meals, and more, including the casual exchanges that often impact decisions and reputations.

    Medieval History of Montenegro...

    Much has been written about Western intervention during the breakup of Yugoslavia, and whether it made matters worse, prevented worse atrocities, or was simply ineffective. In early 1992, however, what was clear was that Europe was hopelessly divided over the best course of action to take towards Yugoslavia, and after several years of fighting, the Bosnian War was one of the most violent conflagrations in Europe since the end of World War II.  
    	That war had been the byproduct of centuries of tensions in the Balkans, and an attempt in the wake of World War I to redraw the political boundaries of Europe and the Middle East. That included forming the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, initially known as the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, a particularly fragile enterprise, and there was almost constant tension between the majority Serbs and the other Yugoslav nationalities, especially the Croats. As a result, the Kingdom was a land of political assassinations, underground terrorist organizations, and ethnic animosities. In 1929, King Alexander I suspended democracy and ruled as a dictator until he himself was assassinated in 1934.  
    	Depending on the source, many authors have focused on different catalysts for Yugoslavia’s demise, but Vesna Drapac may have succinctly summed the situation up when he wrote that by the end, the state “lacked a reason to exist.” There is certainly something in this sentiment, but the disintegration came at an enormous cost. 
    	Given what happened in Yugoslavia, it should be little surprise the area that eventually became the modern nation of Montenegro has had a turbulent history for millennia, with shifting borders, different degrees of autonomy, and various conflicts occurring within it.
