Download or read book Still Fighting the Civil War written by David Goldfield and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2013-04-15 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the updated edition of his sweeping narrative on southern history, David Goldfield brings this extensive study into the present with a timely assessment of the unresolved issues surrounding the Civil War's sesquicentennial commemoration. Traversing a hundred and fifty years of memory, Goldfield confronts the remnants of the American Civil War that survive in the hearts of many of the South's residents and in the national news headlines of battle flags, racial injustice, and religious conflicts. Goldfield candidly discusses how and why white southern men fashioned the myths of the Lost Cause and Redemption out of the Civil War and Reconstruction, and how they shaped a religion to canonize the heroes and deify the events of those fateful years. He also recounts how groups of blacks and white women eventually crafted a different, more inclusive version of southern history and how that new vision competed with more traditional perspectives. The battle for southern history, and for the South, continues—in museums, public spaces, books, state legislatures, and the minds of southerners. Given the region's growing economic power and political influence, understanding this war takes on national significance. Through an analysis of ideas of history and memory, religion, race, and gender, Still Fighting the Civil War provides us with a better understanding of the South and one another.

Download or read book A Third Face written by Samuel Fuller and published by Hal Leonard Corporation. This book was released on 2004 with total page 612 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Applause Books). Winner of Best Non-Fiction for 2002 Award from the Los Angeles Times Book Review! Samuel Fuller was one of the most prolific and independent writer-director-producers in Hollywood. His 29 tough, gritty films made from 1949 to 1989 set out to capture the truth of war, racism and human frailties, and incorporate some of his own experiences. His film Park Row was inspired by his years in the New York newspaper business, where his beat included murders, suicides, state executions and race riots. He writes about hitchhiking across the country at the height of the Great Depression. His years in the army in World War II are captured in his hugely successful pictures The Big Red One , The Steel Helmet and Merrill's Marauders . Fuller's other films include Pickup on South Street ; Underworld U.S.A. , a movie that shows how gangsters in the 1960s were seen as "respected" tax-paying executives; Shock Corridor , which exposed the conditions in mental institutions; and White Dog , written in collaboration with Curtis Hanson ( L.A. Confidential ), a film so controversial that Paramount's then studio heads Jeffrey Katzenberg and Michael Eisner refused to release it. In addition to his work in film, Samuel Fuller (1911-1997) wrote eleven novels. He lived in Los Angeles with his wife and their daughter. A Third Face was completed by Jerome Henry Rudes, Fuller's longtime friend, and his wife, Christa Lang Fuller. "Fuller wasn't one for tactful understatement and his hot-blooded, incident-packed autobiography is accordingly blunt ... A Third Face is a grand, lively, rambunctious memoir." Janet Maslin, The New York Times ; "Fuller's last work is a joy and an important addition to film and popular culture literature." Publishers Weekly ; "If you don't like the films of Sam Fuller, then you just don't like cinema." Martin Scorsese, from the book's introduction

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last installment in a trilogy of graphic novels that began with We Hereby Refuse (Washington State Book Award Finalist) and Those Who Helped Us, this book details the stories of six courageous Japanese American soldiers from the Pacific Northwest. Written by Lawrence Matsuda and illustrated by Matt Sasaki, Fighting for America: Nisei Soldiers shows how these brave individuals made a significant mark on American history. Shiro Kashino, a legendary local hero with the famed all-Japanese American 442nd Regimental Combat Team, was wounded six times in combat, yet still served with the 442nd until the end of the war. Frank Nishimura fought in all the 442nd's major campaigns and suffered lifelong hearing loss due to an exploding German grenade. Jimmie Kanaya, a 442nd medic captured by the Germans, became a prisoner of war until being liberated by American forces. He went on to become a U.S. Army officer. Roy Matsumoto, a member of the Military Intelligence Service as a battlefield interpreter in the Pacific, fought with the famed Merrill's Marauders in Burma and was inducted into the U.S. Army Ranger Hall of Fame. Tosh Yasutake, a combat medic who served with the 442nd for the duration of the war, was wounded by shrapnel from a German artillery shell blast. Teruyuki "Turk" Susuki, a veteran of the 442nd's signature "Lost Battalion" campaign in France, became a casualty due to severe trench foot. Together with the previous graphic novels in this series, Fighting for America: Nisei Soldiers tells critically important stories of Japanese American experiences during World War II.
