"'For Ernest Hemingway, the American Civil War was rooted in family history--two grandfathers and two granduncles were Union volunteers. A student of warfare and military science, Hemingway had numerous Civil War books in his vast library. He shared his interest with several writer friends, including F. Scott Fizgerald and John Peale Bishop, as well as his brilliant editor, Maxwell Perkins. By looking at this nexus of literary greats, the reader can better understand the Civil War's perisitent legacy in Hemingways' life and art." --Back cover

Foreword:These pictures communicate poignant and powerful memories that all of those of our generation have - those who were in Vietnam can almost sense and taste it all again and those who were not remember less stark photographs and less personal from magazines and television. It is as if all of us were and are one family and this is an aching part of our family photo album. The images, the photos, are so good, so moving, and the colors so rich, I expect that at any moment they may come to life - as still photos do sometimes in the beginning of films or on commercials on television. In other words the color and the shadowing of the photos, the candid nature of each of the shots, the colors of the earth and of the World of Vietnam, raises up vivid memories in me and my friends and my generation. This is a central part of our growing up, our coming of age, our dreams and nightmares. Time has been standing still in these photos as it does often in memory. Beautiful, innocent and deeply troubling they are, and each is a reminder of what we try to avoid thinking about - mortality and the preciousness of youth, of beauty, and of justice in the world. This shows the world as it is, and does not show the world as we wish it would be or was. Two or three of these shots together have more power than all of the slick and over-commentated Network News Videos from the 60s. They remain merely tape - the TV productions. These are fragments of real time and real life. Sometimes a photograph - or a collection of photographs -is so powerful that it defies description or comment and all that one hears from the viewer is, "oh!" That is all. That pretty much says it all.Prof. Larry Engelmann is the author of six books, including Tears Before the Rain: An Oral History of the Fall of South Vietnam (1991.)

Immortal Last Words written by Terry Breverton and has been published by Hachette UK this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2012-03-29 with History categories.
Immortal Last Words is a fascinating, diverse collection of history's most uplifting, entertaining and thought-provoking dying remarks and final farewells. The 370 entries in this book have been drawn from some of history's greatest statesmen, poets, scientists, novelists and warriors - the eminent men and women who have shaped events over the last four and a half millennia and whose final recorded words have often inspired great deeds or shed light on the nature of the human condition. There are also entries are from less well- known individuals who did not make such an impact on history but whose dying words are equally noteworthy as they encapsulate the spirit of the times or simply reflect the character of the speaker. And finally, the pages of this book contain the last words of some of most ignoble personalities in history - the monsters and maniacs whose final defiant utterances prompt us to reflect on the nature of evil and man's inhumanity to man. Arranged chronologically from antiquity to the present day, each entry is accompanied by contextual information giving a brief biography of the author and an explanation of the circumstances that gave rise to the quotation. Some of the sentiments expressed are unbelievably sad while others are optimistic; some final words have become famous while others have remained obscure, but all reflect the follies and greatness of mankind - its heroes and villains, war and peace and the absolute power of language to change our feelings and challenge our minds. Sample entries include: Buddha 'Strive for your own liberation with diligence'; Vespasian 'Dear me, I believe I am becoming a god'; Thomas Hobbes, 'I am about to take my last voyage, a great leap in the dark'; Robespierre 'Death is the commencement of immortality!'; George Washington'Tis well'; John Keats 'Here lies one whose name was writ in water'; John Maynard Keynes'I should have drunk more champagne'; Salvador Dalí 'I do not believe in my death'; Keith Floyd 'I've not felt this well for ages.'

He provides background for each program, details about the creative individuals involved, close readings of the scripts, and reflections on why these series were influential when originally broadcast and why they continue to be enjoyed decades later by "baby boomers," their children, and their grandchildren.

"You Can't Go Home Again" – George Webber has written a successful novel about his family and hometown. When he returns to that town, he is shaken by the force of outrage and hatred that greets him. Family and lifelong friends feel naked and exposed by what they have seen in his books, and their fury drives him from his home. Outcast, George Webber begins a search for his own identity. It takes him to New York and a hectic social whirl; to Paris with an uninhibited group of expatriates; to Berlin, lying cold and sinister under Hitler's shadow. "Look Homeward, Angel" is an American coming-of-age story. The novel is considered to be autobiographical and the character of Eugene Gant is generally believed to be a depiction of Thomas Wolfe himself. Set in the fictional town and state of Altamont, Catawba, it covers the span of time from Eugene's birth to the age of 19. "Of Time and the River" is the continuation of the story of Eugene Gant, detailing his early and mid-twenties. During that time Eugene attends Harvard University, moves to New York City, teaches English at a university there, and travels overseas with his friend Francis Starwick.
