Synopsis

In "Recollections and Letters of General Robert E. Lee," the author offers a profound and personal examination of the Civil War through the lens of its most revered general. This memoir, characterized by its poignant introspection and vivid narrative style, not only recounts key military engagements but also delves into Lee's complex relationships with family, fellow generals, and the Southern cause. The text serves as both a historical document and a reflective piece, revealing the motivations and moral dilemmas faced by a leader in one of America's most turbulent eras. Lee's eloquent correspondence encapsulates the philosophies of duty, honor, and sacrifice amidst the chaos of war, providing readers with invaluable insights into the mindset of a military strategist and statesman during the conflict's defining moments. Robert E. Lee, born into a prominent Virginia family and trained at West Point, was shaped by a blend of military tradition and Southern ideals. His leadership during the Civil War cemented his legacy, yet it was his reflections post-war—framed by personal and national reconciliation—that profoundly influenced his compendium. Rooted in a deep sense of honor, his letters reveal his evolving perspectives and the weight of his decisions, reflecting the complex moral landscape of his time. This collection is highly recommended for those interested in American history, military strategy, and the intricacies of leadership. Lee's narrative provides an essential context for understanding the Civil War's profound impact on American society, while also inviting a contemplative dialogue about ethics in wartime. Readers will find both a historical artifact and a powerful meditation on the human condition.

Fables for Adults - Anyone who...

Fanny Kemble Johnson, Henry...

As we grow from child to adult we are usually told short stories which soften and help us understand the vital information a story has to impart.  It’s a clever concept by saying one thing―many times with an animal protagonist―and meaning another.  In adult years these stories continue along the same lines but what they are really saying is that what you see is not always what you get. 
 
Words from the pens of Oscar Wilde, Leo Tolstoy, Henry James and others really can illuminate and explain subjects difficult to broach.

Donald Writes No More - The Life...

Eddie Stone

For the fiftieth anniversary of his murder, this gritty, engrossing, definitive biography of the legendary Black writer Donald Goines—the Godfather of Urban Street Lit and "one of hip hop's greatest inspirations" (The Source Magazine)—is back. 
 
 
 
Addict, thief, pimp, pusher, player—and most notably, groundbreaking writer. Donald Goines was all of these. 
 
 
 
As a kid, Donald Goines was the product of a middle-class family. After high school, he joined the Air Force—and discovered the heroin that would rule the remainder of his life. On the streets, he turned to writing when he was straight enough to keep at it. He used the language of the streets and he wrote of its people. Goines's success was immediate and exciting. But eventually those same streets claimed him. He was murdered as he sat writing a new book. Yet his legacy continues, as a revolutionary in the literary world and also in music, with major hip-hop artists including 50 Cent, Nas, and Jay-Z all crediting Goines's novels as influences. Here is his complete story.
