McPherson offers memorable portraits of the great leaders who people the landscape of the Civil War: Ulysses S. Grant, struggling to write his memoirs with the same courage and determination that marked his successes on the battlefield; Robert E. Lee, a brilliant general and a true gentleman, yet still a product of his time and place; and Abraham Lincoln, the leader and orator whose mythical figure still looms large over our cultural landscape. And McPherson discusses often-ignored issues such as the development of the Civil War into a modern \"total war\" against both soldiers and civilians, and the international impact of the American Civil War in advancing the cause of republicanism and democracy in countries from Brazil and Cuba to France and England. Of special interest is the final essay, entitled \"What's the Matter With History?\", a trenchant critique of the field of history today, which McPherson describes here as \"more and more about less and less.\" He writes that professional historians have abandoned narrative history written for the greater audience of educated general readers in favor of impenetrable tomes on minor historical details which serve only to edify other academics, thus leaving the historical education of the general public to films and television programs such as \u003cem\u003eGlory\u003c\/em\u003e and Ken Burns's PBS documentary \u003cem\u003eThe Civil War\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach essay in \u003cem\u003eDrawn With the Sword\u003c\/em\u003e reveals McPherson's own profound knowledge of the Civil War and of the controversies among historians, presenting all sides in clear and lucid prose and concluding with his own measured and eloquent opinions. Readers will rejoice that McPherson has once again proven by example that history can be both accurate and interesting, informative and well-written. Mark Twain wrote that the Civil War \"wrought so profoundly upon the entire national character that the influence cannot be measured short of two or three generations.\" In \u003cem\u003eDrawn With the Sword\u003c\/em\u003e, McPherson gracefully and brilliantly illuminates this momentous conflict.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-From the publisher.\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2021-03-04T17:00:06-05:00","created_at":"2021-03-04T16:58:25-05:00","vendor":"The Bowdoin Store","type":"Book","tags":["Civil War"],"price":1895,"price_min":1895,"price_max":1895,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":1895,"compare_at_price_min":1895,"compare_at_price_max":1895,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":39258361036889,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"WBC296","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Drawn with the Sword","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":1895,"weight":0,"compare_at_price":1895,"inventory_quantity":1,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"deny","barcode":"0195117964T","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/store.bowdoin.edu\/cdn\/shop\/products\/wbc296-mcpherson-drawn.jpg?v=1614895200"],"featured_image":"\/\/store.bowdoin.edu\/cdn\/shop\/products\/wbc296-mcpherson-drawn.jpg?v=1614895200","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"Drawn with the Sword, by James M.

The book presents a critical review of women's art in contemporary China in relation to art traditions, classical and contemporary. Inscribing the female body into art generates not only visual experimentation, but also interaction between local art\/cultural production and global perception. While artists may seek inspiration and exhibition space abroad, they often reject the (Western) label “feminist artist.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-From the publisher.\u003c\/p\u003e"}

In 1966, although I had never heard a gun fired in anger, I was among the walking wounded of those days of political, intellectual and moral conflict. I was a fresh-faced, eager high school graduate about to embark on my journey of college, choosing a profession, and marrying my steady girl. No matter their sincerity, all of those dreams were broken and shattered. I faced difficult choices. I bore guilt I'd never imagined. I realized I had never learned how to give up. \u003cem\u003eI Promised You Daisie\u003c\/em\u003es is the second volume of my trilogy \u003cem\u003eImperfectly Ordinary\u003c\/em\u003e. As a sequel to \u003cem\u003eA Gift of Dreams\u003c\/em\u003e, this is the story of my attempt to make sense of life during the disrupted decade that followed my boyhood in a contented traditional New England village. I recount meeting studious, serious-minded Karen Sandstrom, our discovery that we shared just about every opinion in life that mattered, and our student marriage. We were convinced our mutual support would enable us to accomplish more good things in the world than we might have managed on our own. We did not understand that questions we had not yet learned to ask and the emotional baggage we believed we'd each discarded were going to make our life together rougher, steeper and more perilous than the lives we'd traveled alone. When we met, Karen was studying to become a Registered Nurse; I was about to return to college to qualify as a public school teacher. In the end we achieved our goals, but our life together was frighteningly different from the one we'd dreamed of sharing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-From the back cover.\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2024-03-13T16:22:58-04:00","created_at":"2024-03-13T16:22:58-04:00","vendor":"The Bowdoin Store","type":"Book","tags":["Biography","Bowdoin Alumni"],"price":1500,"price_min":1500,"price_max":1500,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":1500,"compare_at_price_min":1500,"compare_at_price_max":1500,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":40996696457305,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"WBA441-Benjamin","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"I Promised You Daisies — Benjamin '66","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":1500,"weight":454,"compare_at_price":1500,"inventory_quantity":4,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"deny","barcode":"9780982060537","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/store.bowdoin.edu\/cdn\/shop\/files\/wba441-benjamin-daisies.jpg?v=1710361380"],"featured_image":"\/\/store.bowdoin.edu\/cdn\/shop\/files\/wba441-benjamin-daisies.jpg?v=1710361380","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"I Promised You Daisies by Robert A.

In 1966, although I had never heard a gun fired in anger, I was among the walking wounded of those days of political, intellectual and moral conflict. I was a fresh-faced, eager high school graduate about to embark on my journey of college, choosing a profession, and marrying my steady girl. No matter their sincerity, all of those dreams were broken and shattered. I faced difficult choices. I bore guilt I'd never imagined. I realized I had never learned how to give up. \u003cem\u003eI Promised You Daisie\u003c\/em\u003es is the second volume of my trilogy \u003cem\u003eImperfectly Ordinary\u003c\/em\u003e. As a sequel to \u003cem\u003eA Gift of Dreams\u003c\/em\u003e, this is the story of my attempt to make sense of life during the disrupted decade that followed my boyhood in a contented traditional New England village. I recount meeting studious, serious-minded Karen Sandstrom, our discovery that we shared just about every opinion in life that mattered, and our student marriage. We were convinced our mutual support would enable us to accomplish more good things in the world than we might have managed on our own. We did not understand that questions we had not yet learned to ask and the emotional baggage we believed we'd each discarded were going to make our life together rougher, steeper and more perilous than the lives we'd traveled alone. When we met, Karen was studying to become a Registered Nurse; I was about to return to college to qualify as a public school teacher. In the end we achieved our goals, but our life together was frighteningly different from the one we'd dreamed of sharing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-From the back cover.\u003c\/p\u003e"}
