Bitterly Divided tells--for the first time--the full story of the internal rift within the Confederacy, which tore apart the South during the Civil War. A fascinating look at a hidden side of the South's history, Bitterly Divided shows the powerful and little-understood impact of the thousands of draft resisters, Southern Unionists, fugitive slaves, and other Southerners who opposed the Confederate cause. Williams thoroughly debunks the idea of Southern unity or Confederate identity, showing that the divisions inside the Confederacy were as significant as the differences between North and South. From worker strikes to guerilla raids by rogue officers to food riots across the South, these are the stories that shatter the myth of wartime Southern unity. If you cannot attend the reading but would like to reserve a signed copy of Bitterly Divided: The South's Inner Civil War you can do so with this shopping cart. |

So it was with David McCullough and John Adams, so it was with Walter Isaacson and Benjamin Franklin, so it is with Jon Meacham and Andrew Jackson. A master storyteller, Meacham interweaves the lives of Jackson and the members of his inner circle to create a highly original book." --Doris Kearns Goodwin, author of Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln.

In his New York Times bestseller, Born to Kvetch, author Michael Wex led readers on a hilariously edifying excursion through Yiddish culture and history. With Just Say Nu, he shows us how to use this remarkable language to spice up conversations, stories, presentations, arguments, and more, when plain English will not suffice (including, of course, lots of delightful historical and cultural side trips along the way). Michael Wex is a novelist, university teacher, translator, and performer. He is one of the leading lights in the current revival of Yiddish, lecturing widely on Yiddish and Jewish culture. He lives and kvetches in Toronto. If you cannot attend the reading but would like to reserve a signed copy of Just Say Nu you can do so with this shopping cart. |
