Download or read book Under Two Flags written by William M Fowler and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2012-04-15 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vividly written and well researched by a noted historian of the period, this succinct history credits the Union Navy as an essential element in the northern victory. Neither ponderous nor hagiographic, the work presents characters and events that have been previously neglected and offers candid assessments of officers, men, and material. Originally published in 1990, when it was a Military History Book Club selection, the work is considered a must for Civil War buffs. It is an authoritative and gripping story of the battles waged. The author provides a rare look at the war fought by primitive northern gunboats drifting through Louisiana's muddy bayous, Yankee merchantmen captured by rebel privateers at sea, and Union ironclads subduing hotly defended Southern forts. Nor does William Fowler neglect the subtler sparrings behind the scenes: War Secretary Stanton and Navy Secretary Welles competing for Lincoln's favor and Welles's fierce duel of strategies with his Confederate counterpart, Stephen Mallory. Finally, the author describes the astonishing transformation of the Navy itself from a ragtag fleet of aging steamers and paddleboats to one of the most powerful waterborne forces in the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life Under Two Flags This is a book of reminiscences which are cast in varied areas, quiet and stormy, at home and abroad, and through which runs the evidence of a serene and undisturbed productiveness. Rich and interesting indeed is any life which has known such wide skies and abundant ingathering. Born of a great inheritance which he shared with noble brothers, enriched by the life-long love of a courageous woman, the writer tells with the cheerfulness of youth the story of the strangely diverse experiences through which many years have borne him. In these days when the seas are strewn with wreckage, it is good to hear of ships which are brought home so richly laden. But the book is more than a volume of reminiscences. Nor is it merely a vindication of the promises past and present. It is the record of lives spent in a particular form of service.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under Two Flags tells the story of an English aristocrat, apparently in disgrace, who disappears and joins a French battalion in Algeria, loosely based on the Foreign Legion. The novel is about The Hon. Bertie Cecil (nicknamed Beauty of the Brigades). In financial distress because of his own profligacy and the loss of an important horse-race on which he has bet extensively, and falsely accused of forgery, but unable to defend himself against the charge without injuring the "honour" of a lady and also exposing his younger brother, Cecil fakes his own death and exiles himself to Algeria where he joins the Chasseurs d'Afrique, a regiment comprising soldiers from various countries, rather like the French Foreign Legion.

Download or read book Between Two Flags written by Anthony G. Russell and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between Two Flags tells the gripping story of the turbulent yet enduring and loving marriage of John Mitchel and Jenny Verner. Their courtship was opposed by both families, and their elopement and marriage caused public consternation, but this remarkable couple went on to live through and influence the politics of mid-19th-century Ireland and the United States. Both were ardent supporters of physical force Republicanism and of the American Confederates. Their story spans the landscape - of Ulster, Europe, the Americas, and Van Diemen's Land (the island of Tasmania) - on a journey through the Great Famine, the American Civil War, Fenianism, revolution, and deportation. Beset by tragedies within their family life, theirs was a world of paradox and adventure, counter-pointed by sacrifice to shared political ideals. Controversially, their enthusiastic support of the institution of slavery is a subject that the book meets head on in an evocation of the period and its context. Destined to be separated by death in different continents, John Mitchel's and Jenny Verner's heroic relationship is sympathetically documented and analyzed in this engaging and captivating story. *** "As fascinating as it is edifying, 'Between Two Flags' is highly recommended." -- Midwest Book Review, Wisconsin Bookwatch: November 2015, The Biography Shelf [Subject: Biography, Irish Studies, History, Politics]
