The diary format lends itself to an intimate and immersive literary style, drawing readers into the rigors of camp life and the harrowing realities of battle. Richly detailed, Reichardt'Äôs observations elucidate not only the physical landscape of war but also the emotional landscape of camaraderie, fear, and the weight of duty, situating his narrative within the broader literary heritage of personal soldier'Äôs accounts that emerged during and after the Civil War era. Theodore Reichardt, a member of Battery A, draws upon his personal experiences and reflections as a soldier to inform his writing. His unique position at the heart of military operations allowed him to document events with precision and authenticity, making his account a vital piece of historical record and personal testimony.

This book is essential for readers interested in Civil War history, military studies, and personal narratives. Reichardt'Äôs eye for detail and emotional depth makes this work not only a significant historical document but also a profound exploration of the human condition amid the chaos of war.

    Babylon was an old city that was home to some of the world's most effective empires. It was the capital of the Babylonian Empire and was considered a center of commerce, art, and more. It's thought to have been the world's biggest early city, perhaps the first to reach a population of more than 200,000 people. 
    The age-old city featured high embankments put up along both banks of the Euphrates River to include the river's seasonal floods. 
    Prophets in the Bible have predicted the “great fall of Babylon” and the Babylonian Empire has, since long ago, it has just been a sometimes-forgotten speck in history. What was it about the Babylonians that was considered so evil? Or what was it that kept their society together for so long? What is their significance now? 
    In this book, I hope you will find some answers.

    Stories that history forgot . . . but readers will remember 
     
     
     
    "The only thing new in the world," said Harry S. Truman, "is the history you don't know." In this fresh and fascinating collection of historical vignettes, Martin W. Sandler (author of Resolute and Atlantic Ocean) restores to memory important events, people, and developments that have been lost to time. 
     
     
     
    Though barely known today, these are major historical stories, from Ziryab, an eighth-century black slave whose influence on music, cuisine, fashion, and manners still reverberates, to Cahokia, a twelfth century city north of the Rio Grande, which at its zenith contained a population estimated to have been as high as 40,000 (more than any contemporary European city), to the worst peacetime maritime disaster ever, the explosion and sinking of the Sultana on the Mississippi in 1865. 
     
     
     
    These tales are far from trivia; they illuminate little-known American and foreign achievements, ingenuity, heroics, blunders, and tragedies that changed the course of history and resonate today.

    A Silver Star recipient for his leadership during the battle of Mogadishu—"Black Hawk Down"—and a prominent member of both SEAL Team TWO and SEAL Team Six, Rick has been recognized throughout his career for his courage, commitment, and fortitude.
