Highly Recommended by Dr. J. Hindman, School of Education, College of William & Mary What was it like living in a small sleepy Southern town when the war suddenly arrived on the doorstep 150 years ago? Th ese are the stories of residents from various walks of life, and the struggles they face as the Unions Peninsula Campaign deploys forces to Fort Monroe, engages just east of Williamsburg, then continues, On to Richmond! as their battle cry went. For example, -William & Mary students, like Th omas Barlow, face life-changing decisions: to return home, or enlist with his classmates? Some of them would become heroes, but many more casualties. -Slaves, like W.B. Nelson, must decide as well: should he remain with his master or runaway? While some remain, many become contrabands, and later freedmen, and colored troops. -Politicians, like Benjamin Butler of Boston, are given the rank of Major General despite the lack of any military experience, while General George B. McClellan, who despised President Lincoln and Washington politics, later runs for national offi ce. Neither transformation is particularly successful. -Williamsburg residents, like shopkeeper William W. Vest and family must decide between fl eeing as refugees, or staying, like William Peachy, lawyer, to endure Federal occupation. -Williamsburgs women, like Letitia Tyler Semple, lead efforts to improve soldier medical care, opening their homes to thousands of wounded. Others, like Mary Payne, persevere to be at her husbands bedside, while Miss Margaret Durfey falls in love with her patient.

"Based on a breathtaking range of research in British and German archives, The War Come Home is written in an engaging, immediately accessible style and filled with rich anecdotes that are excellently told. This impressive book offers a powerful set of insights into the lasting effects of the First World War and the different ways in which belligerent states came to terms with the war's consequences."—Robert Moeller, author of War Stories: The Search for a Usable Past in the Federal Republic of Germany "With verve, compassion, and above all else, clarity, The War Come Home makes the dismal story of the failed reconstructions of disabled veterans in interwar Britain and German into engaging and provocative reading. Cohen moves from astute analysis of the interventions of high level bureaucrats to sensitive interpretations of how disabled veterans wrote and talked about their lives and the treatment they received at the hands of public and private agencies. She beautifully interweaves histories from below and above, showing how the two shaped -- but also collided with -- one another in profoundly consequential ways for the history of the 20th century."—Seth Koven, coeditor (with Sonya Michel) of Mothers of a New World: Maternalist Politics and the Origins of Welfare States

The Tarnished Horseman is not a linear story in the traditional sense. It is a sea of voices, a kaleidoscope of images, opinions, and observations about one man, George Arnold, and his time. The voices come from tumultuous periods of the twentieth century, and each has a unique perspective, its own story to tell, yet the voices all center on George Arnold. He is a man out of one time, searching for his place in another.George was a good son, the perfect student, the brilliant promise of so many peoples' dreams. George, the idealist, leaves the university to fight in the Spanish Civil War. Through various accidents of fate, he becomes an active combatant in World War II. Caught in France without a valid passport, he enlists in the French Foreign Legion, escapes from the Maginot Line to England, where he joins the RCAF. Shot down over Germany, he fights much of the war with a Siberian Cossack unit and a sub-machine gun . . . but on horseback.Released from the Soviet Union in 1948, a bad year to return to America from a communist country, George cannot find work. He turns to using the only skills he knows, first with the Israelis, later with the French in Viet Nam and Algeria, and finally with various mercenary groups in Africa. He drifts from one 20th century conflict to another. The reader sees him through the overlapping voices of those around him; and also through his own voice, as he leaves an oral history for the one woman with whom he finds love. The reader must use these voices as keys to understanding the brilliant, idealistic young man who left the American dream in order to help his fellow men, but who finishes his career as a mercenary, kicking gold teeth out of dead men's mouths. George is not only the last horseman of the world before world wars; his journey signifies the end of America's idealistic foreign engagement. Out of this study of war, emerges an unexpected, but passionate romance. A young woman manning a machine gun in the Israeli war for independence comes to see George as more than a hero. She seeks him across time and space, coming to see him as a man, but one she comes to love. Their passion infuses the book with humanity.This story, however, is not just one of tragic flaws of character. It is not even solely a study of the character himself, but a revealing look at man during our modern time. George lives in the numbing twentieth century era of wars. The novel questions what causes him to become what he becomes, and perhaps what has happened to mankind in general, in the technological, global society of today.
