Sinossi

In "Co. Aytch: Maury Grays First Tennessee Regiment," Samuel R. Watkins artfully chronicles his firsthand experiences as a soldier in the Confederate Army during the Civil War. Written in an accessible and engaging vernacular, Watkins employs a mix of anecdotes, vivid descriptions, and poignant reflections, effectively capturing the grit and camaraderie of military life. As a memoir, the book serves not only as a historical document but also as a testament to the human spirit amid the turmoil of war, situating it squarely within the literary context of 19th-century American war literature. Samuel R. Watkins, a native of Tennessee, enlisted at just 18 years old, drawing upon his own youthful enthusiasm and evolving insight into the harsh realities of conflict. His position as a soldier allowed him to witness critical battles and the everyday struggles faced by his fellow comrades. After the war, Watkins transformed his experiences into prose, thereby providing a personal narrative that both reflects and critiques the broader societal impacts of the Civil War, revealing his complex Southern identity in the process. "Co. Aytch" is highly recommended for readers interested in Civil War history, memoirs, or the Southern perspective of wartime experiences. It offers not only a compelling narrative but also scholarly insight into the emotional and psychological landscape of soldiering. Watkins's work remains an indispensable resource for understanding the personal journeys intertwined with the monumental events of American history.

Stalking the Great Killer -...

Larry C. Floyd, Joseph H. Bates

Stalking the Great Killer is the story of Arkansas's struggle to control tuberculosis, and how the state became a model in its treatment of the disease. 
 
 
 
To place the story of tuberculosis in Arkansas in historical perspective, the authors trace the origins of the disease. Arkansas suffered some of the worst ravages of the disease, and the authors argue that many of the improvements in the state's medical infrastructure grew out of the desperate need to control it. 
 
 
 
In the early twentieth century, Arkansas established a sanatorium and thirty years later, the segregated Black sanitorium. These institutions helped slow the disease but at a cost: removed from families and communities, patients suffered from the isolation. Joseph Bates saw this when he delivered an uncle to the sanitorium in the 1940s. In the 1960s, Bates, now a physician, and his colleague Paul Reagan overcame a resistant medical-political system to develop a new approach to treating the disease. 
 
 
 
In the age of Covid-19, this history offers valuable lessons about community involvement in public health, the potential efficacy of public-private partnerships, and the importance of leadership in the battle to eradicate disease.

Mussolini's Grandchildren -...

David Broder

The fastest-rising force in Italian politics is Giorgia Meloni's Fratelli d'Italia—a party with a direct genealogy from Mussolini's regime. Surging to prominence in recent years, it has waged a fierce culture war against the left, polarized political debate around WWII, and even secured the largest vote share in Italy's 2022 general election. Eighty years after the fall of Mussolini, his heirs, and admirers are again on the brink of taking power. 
 
 
 
Mussolini's Grandchildren delves into Italy's self-styled 'post-fascist' movements—rooted in historical fascism yet claiming to have 'transcended' it. David Broder highlights the reinventions of far-right politics since WWII and examines the interplay between a parliamentary face aimed at integrating fascists into the mainstream and militant fringe groups which, despite their extremism, play an important role in nurturing the broader far right. 
 
 
 
Fratelli d'Italia has retained its hegemony over fascist subcultures whilst embracing a raft of more pragmatic policy positions, fusing harsh Islamophobia and anti-communism with support for the European Union and NATO. As countervailing anti-fascist forces in Italian society wane, the far-right party's mission to redeem historical fascism, legitimize its political heirs, and shift the terrain of mainstream politics is proving alarmingly successful.
