Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In December of 1862, having read his brother's name in a casualty list, Walt Whitman rushed from Brooklyn to the war front, where he found his brother wounded but recovering. But Whitman also found there a "new world," a world dense with horror and revelation. Memoranda During the War is Whitman's testament to the anguish, heroism, and terror of the Civil War. The book consists of journal entries extending from Whitman's arrival on the front in 1862 through to the war's conclusion in 1865. Whitman details his encounters with soldiers and doctors, meditates on particular battles and on the meanings of the war for the nation, and recounts his wordless though peculiarly intimate public exchanges with President Lincoln, a man Whitman saw often on the streets of Washington and by whom he was deeply fascinated. The book offers an astounding amalgam of death portraits, anecdotes of battle, last words, messages to distant loved ones, and remarkably restrained and muted descriptions of pain, dismemberment, and dying--all of it, however grim, suffused with Whitman's undiminished enthusiasm and affection for these young soldiers. And throughout, we find Whitman laboring with heroic determination to sustain and nourish his once-ardent faith in America and American life, even as the nation unleashed unprecedented violence upon itself.

Download or read book Cold War on the Airwaves written by Nicholas J Schlosser and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2015-11-15 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Founded as a counterweight to the Communist broadcasters in East Germany, Radio in the American Sector (RIAS) became one of the most successful public information operations conducted against the Soviet Bloc. Cold War on the Airwaves examines the Berlin-based organization's history and influence on the political worldview of the people--and government--on the other side of the Iron Curtain. Nicholas J. Schlosser draws on broadcast transcripts, internal memoranda, listener letters, and surveys by the U.S. Information Agency to profile RIAS. Its mission: to undermine the German Democratic Republic with propaganda that, ironically, gained in potency by obeying the rules of objective journalism. Throughout, Schlosser examines the friction inherent in such a contradictory project and propaganda's role in shaping political culture. He also portrays how RIAS's primarily German staff influenced its outlook and how the organization both competed against its rivals in the GDR and pushed communist officials to alter their methods in order to keep listeners. From the occupation of Berlin through the airlift to the construction of the Berlin Wall, Cold War on the Airwaves offers an absorbing view of how public diplomacy played out at a flashpoint of East-West tension.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Facts About the War: Memoranda, Synopses and Significant Items Relating to the World War and the Interest of America Therein This pamphlet is especially for the use of speakers and writers who de51re in available, concrete form, material for patriotic addresses and articles. Most of the matter is very familiar to intelligent Ameri cans, but they will probably find it convenient to discover sometimes the precise chapter and verse. Of course we are primarily interested in the immediate reasons which brought America directly into the world-war, but behind the outrages by Germany upon America there clearly lurked the outrages upon Belgium and other lands, and the whole complex of foul circumstance which enabled the pan-german plotters to menace civilization. Certain facts are therefore included which related originally to Euro pean lands, although to things in which the United States has now a terribly vital interest.
