This book is very interesting and this book story is the fight is never end ( ) Well written and thoroughly researched. Tedious with repetitive anecdotes and digressions into “oath of allegiance “versus “parole” etc; tendentious with the usual woke claims of Confederate massacres of black troops, which are provided with no context whatsoever. Worst of all of the currently faddish claims that the supposed lost cause myth began with the farewell address of Lee and Mosby. As if the final address to soldiers who had bled and died and starved for four years yet remained true to the end, were supposed to be treated to a final address that said basically the Yankees beat us fair and Square, and we were wrong, and we need to go home and beg for their mercy.

"In this masterful work, Caroline E. Janney begins with a deceptively simple question: how did the Army of Northern Virginia disband? Janney slows down the pace of the events after Appomattox to reveal it less as a decisive end and more as the commencement of a chaotic interregnum marked by profound military and political uncertainty, legal and logistical confusion, and continued outbursts of violence. Janney blends analysis of large-scale political, legal, and military considerations with intimate narratives of individual soldiers considering their options and pursuing a wide range of decisions"-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
