Sinopsis

James Ford Rhodes' "History of the Civil War, 1861-1865" stands as a seminal work in American historiography, providing a comprehensive account of the Civil War era through meticulous research and narrative prowess. The book employs a blend of analytical rigor and vivid storytelling, offering both political and social insights into the conflict. Positioned within the context of post-Civil War America, Rhodes adeptly utilizes primary sources and firsthand accounts, capturing the complexities of the war'Äôs causes, major battles, and its profound implications on the nation'Äôs future. Rhodes, a prominent historian and member of the American Historical Association, was deeply influenced by the tumultuous times surrounding him, as well as by the legacy of the Civil War in American society. His roots in Ohio, a significant northern state during the conflict, imbued him with a distinct perspective on the war'Äôs sectional divides and the evolving narrative of emancipation. His scholarly approach is enhanced by his experiences as both an astute businessman and a passionate writer, seeking to bridge gaps in the historical record of his time. This work is essential for anyone interested in understanding the American Civil War's intricate layers. Not only does it serve as an invaluable resource for scholars and students, but it also invites general readers to engage with the historical narrative, making the complexities of the Civil War accessible and compelling. Rhodes' contributions to history remain resonate today, offering crucial context to America's ongoing discussions about race, unity, and reconciliation.

    Although Napoleon was exiled, he was allowed to retain the title of Emperor and was given de facto control over Elba. But it should not be surprising the man who once ruled Europe was not content with the island of Elba. Separated from his family and cast away on a small island, Napoleon attempted suicide by taking a poison pill, but he had first carried the pill with him on the retreat from Moscow, rightly concerned about an uncertain fate at the time. The aging process had fatally weakened the pill, which stopped it from fatally weakening Napoleon. 
    Though the emperor busied himself developing the island’s industries and had established a miniature army and navy, he must still have found time to brood upon his situation and could not have helped but think of himself as reduced to laughing stock. The “Emperor of Elba” was a poor title for a man who had once ruled over more than half of mainland Europe. Even some of Napoleon’s old Marshals, like Murat, now controlled more territory than the man who had raised them in the first place. To add insult to injury, the salary he had been promised in the Treaty of Fontainebleau and that was meant to keep him in relative luxury was often late and sometimes failed to arrive at all. Coupled with his deteriorating health and the express refusal of the Austrian court to let him speak or write to his wife and son, Napoleon must have felt himself well and truly slighted. Beaten, but not defeated, he resolved to show the Coalition powers he could still make Europe tremble. 
    Of all the incredible military feats Napoleon accomplished, none were more impressive than his escape from Elba and his return to France, which was literally a bloodless revolution. On February 26, 1815, Napoleon escaped from Elba, and in a desperate gamble, he landed on the French mainland with less than a thousand men and marched on Paris.

    NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! 
    “Savagery appeased can only grow. Once you give in to it, it must escalate, like a fire searching for air.” 
    The man who won the Pulitzer Prize for GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS, who wrote the classic films THE VERDICT and WAG THE DOG sounds his alarm about the Visigoths at our gates. 
    In RECESSIONAL he calls out, skewers, mocks, and, most importantly, dissects the virus of conformity which is now an existential threat to the West. 
    A broad-ranging journey through history, the Bible, and literature, RECESSIONAL examines how politics and cultural attitudes about rebellion have shifted in the United States in the last generation. By screaming down freedom of thought and expression, Mamet explains, we kill invention and democracy – the foundations of security and growth. 
    A wickedly funny, wistful and wry appeal to the free-thinking citizen, RECESSIONAL is a vital warning that if we don’t confront the cultural thuggery now, the commissars and their dupes will transform the Land of the Free into the dictatorship at which they aim.
