A Revolution in Arms - A History of the First repeating Rifles
|
|
Author: Joseph G. Bilby
Published: 2006
Pages: 270
Joseph Bilby's "A Revolution in Arms" is considerably more than just a treatise upon repeating rifles used during the American Civil War. Rather, it is a careful study of how those weapons were used and how a coherent, although unofficial doctrine eveolved over time. It is a study that required extensive research into obscure primary sources because relevant contemporary official reports were essentially nonexistent. Therefore, "A Revolution in Arms" is a genuinely original contribution to the military history of the Civil War, exploring areas previously unknown and subject only to speculation. Mr. Bilby wisely does not claim too much importance for the firearms at the center of his book; he does not claim that they were a decisive factor in achieving Union victory, although he concludes that they probably shortened the effort.

Den Amerikanske Borgerkrig
|
|
Forfatter: John Keegan
Udgivelsesår: 2011
Sider: 463
Den Amerikanske Borgerkrig er en af de mest blodige og brutale krige i historien. Krigen kostede over 1 million ofre, et tal der kun kan sammenlignes med de europæiske tab under Første Verdenskrig. Men samtidig er borgerkrigen også den mest gådefulde af historiens store krige. Den var og forbliver den eneste storkrig udkæmpet mellem borgere fra den samme demokratiske nation og er derfor også en af historiens vigtigste ideologiske krige. Både Nord- og Sydstaterne var drevet af troen på en retfærdig sag, og begge sider var villige til at kæmpe for deres sag med livet som indsats.
