Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Memoirs, Vol. 1 If history is just and cannot be perverted by the fabrication of legends, it should show that by far the greater measure of the responsibility for this war rests with our enemies. The rule of the road at sea puts the blame in collisions on the person who causes the danger of the situation, and not on the one who makes a mistake through incorrect judgment at the last moment in his endeavour to escape from it. Our misfortune, however, did not proceed from the acqui sitiou of power, but from the weakness which did not know how to use that power either for the purpose of preserving or concluding peace, and in addition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of the War in Spain, Vol. 1 of 2: From 1808 to 1814 The Memoirs of marshal Suchet are as much! The offspring of his own mind as the campaigns which he describes: the spirit in which they, were composed may be gathered from what we have just premised. He derived enjoyment and relaxation from the task; his active imagination delighted in the recollection of the past, amidst the pleasing distractions of a domestic life, and during the painful intermission of his last illness. His in timate friends drew from his conversation a faithful commentary on his work; he pointed out the final modifications to be made, which rather consisted in curtailments from than in additions to it, and he sought with their assistance the explanatory documents that were to accompany the publica tion. Much time was required for effecting this careful revision, for checking the accuracy of figures and dates, drawing up statements, and appending notes or documents intended to eluci date, explain, or develop the text.

Download or read book General Grant and the Verdict of History written by Frank P Varney and published by Savas Beatie. This book was released on 2023-03-10 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: General Ulysses S. Grant is best remembered today as a war-winning general, and he certainly deserves credit for his efforts on behalf of the Union. But has he received too much credit at the expense of other men? Have others who fought the war with him suffered unfairly at his hands? General Grant and the Verdict of History: Memoir, Memory, and the Civil War explores these issues. Professor Frank P. Varney examines Grants relationship with three noted Civil War generals: the brash and uncompromising Fighting Joe Hooker; George H. Thomas, the stellar commander who earned the sobriquet Rock of Chickamauga; and Gouverneur Kemble Warren, who served honorably and well in every major action of the Army of the Potomac before being relieved less than two weeks before Appomattox, and only after he had played a prominent part in the major Union victory at Five Forks. In his earlier book General Grant and the Rewriting of History, Dr. Varney studied the tempestuous relationship between Grant and Union General William S. Rosecrans. During the war, Rosecrans was considered by many of his contemporaries to be on par with Grant himself; today, he is largely forgotten. Rosecranss star dimmed, argues Varney, because Grant orchestrated the effort. Unbeknownst to most students of the war, Grant used his official reports, interviews with the press, and his memoirs to influence how future generations would remember the war and his part in it. Aided greatly by his two terms as president, by the clarity and eloquence of his memoirs, and in particular by the dramatic backdrop against which those memoirs were written, our historical memory has been influenced to a degree greater than many realize. It is beyond time to return to the original sourcesthe letters, journals, reports, and memoirs of other witnesses and the transcripts of courts-martial to examine Grants story from a fresh perspective. The results are enlightening and more than a little disturbing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Great War, Vol. 1 This work in its original form appeared in twenty-four volumes between February 1915 and July mm, and was therefore written and published for the most part during the progress of the campaign. Begun as an experiment to pass the time during a period of enforced inaction, its large sales and the evidence forthcoming that it met a certain need induced me to continue it as a duty, and the bulk of it was written in the scanty leisure which I could snatch from service abroad and at home. Any narrative produced under such conditions must bristle with imperfections. It will contain many errors of fact. The writer cannot stage his drama or prepare the reader for a sudden change by a gradual revelation of its causes. His work must have something of the apparent inconsequence of real life. He records one month a sanguine mood and a hopeful forecast; three months later he will tell of depression and of expectations belied. He must set out interim judgments, and presently recant them.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of the Verney Family During the Civil War, Vol. 1 of 2: Compiled From the Letters and Illustrated by the Portraits at Claydon House The 'dignity of history has a great deal to answer for. It has been supposed to concern itself only with reigns of kings, conquests and defeats, alliances and treaties, and the intermarriages of rather uninteresting personages, while the great stream of life of common-place people, what they thought and what they felt, has till lately been only considered important when the mass of convictions became powerful enough to create an upheaval of some definite kind.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of the War in the Southern Department of the United States, Vol. 1 of 2 When I engaged in this undertaking, many of my military comrades, capable and willing to contribute their aid to the fulfilment of my design, were living; whose minute knowledge of various scenes, all of which they saw, in some of which they led, would have rendered it peculiarly interesting and valuable. After postponing, as is common to man, what for various reasons ought not to have been delayed, I have expe rienced in mv progress abundant cause for self-re proach; since in many instances, I have been deprived of this important assistance, which no effort or appli cation has been able fully to supply. Discouraged by this privation, I should, though reluctantly, have rece ded from my purpose, had not the injurious couse quences of my dilatoriness been repaired in a measure by the animated and friendly exertions of the few sur vivors among my martial companions. To these indi viduals I owe a heavy debt of personal gratitude; and should the following sheets be deemed worthy of ge neral approbation, to their ready and unwearied assist ance, more than to the author's care and diligence, may be justly ascribed the pleasing result. I have, nevertheless, been compelled to abridge considerably my first design; not having been able to obtain the documents necessary to its full accomplishment.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from In the War: Memoirs of V. Veresaev Of course, the war had not been provoked by Japan, and was incomprehensible on account of its useless ness; but what of that? If each small cell of the living body has its small, individual consciousness, it will not ask the question why the body has suddenly leaped up, why it makes an effort, why it struggles. The blood corpuscles will flow through the arteries, the muscular tissues will contract, each little cell will do its pre determined duty. But it is the business of the supreme brain to say what the struggle is for and where the blows are to fall. It is precisely this impression that Russia was making: she did not need the war, she did not understand it; but all her enormous organism was atremble with the mighty elation which had taken pos session of her.

Download or read book My War Memoirs Classic Reprint written by Eduard Benes and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-19 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from My War Memoirs Throughout the war I had ample Opportunities of observing the extent to which our national cause was an inseparable factor in the leading events of the Great War and how it was affected by them. It is not possible to form a correct estimate of our revolutionary movement unless this fact is realized. In this book I have made this clear by narrating the details of our movement in relation to the general scope of the points at issue during the war. As regards the war itself, it was on such a vast scale that I have touched upon it only as it affects my narrative. Here and there I was compelled to repeat myself, because our movement had many ramifications, and was connected with events in the various States, which I deal with separately. This may tend to make my account clearer and more comprehensive. I hope that the book will help to remove a number of political misunderstandings or ambiguities, as well as certain historical inaccuracies or erroneous statements which have accumulated during the last few years. It will at least, I think, reduce a number of matters under dispute to their right pro portion. In any case, it is my wish to make clear what should not be doubtful to anybody, namely, that we never drew any distinction between our revolutionary movement at home and abroad, that we placed our diplomatic work on the same footing as the achievements of our troops, and that, in short, we look upon our revolutionary activities at home and abroad, in the council chamber and on the battlefield, as a single unified movement. My chief endeavour has been to give an accurate account of facts, and in writing these memoirs I have been prompted by my attachment to our national cause and also by my attachment to the truth and I want the book to be not only a record of what happened, but also a lesson to be applied to our present and future political problems.
