[It] brings to light much hitherto unrevealed information about the activities of those who carried on what might be called a counter~rebellion during the War between the States.".~ New York Times Book Review / "Though 600,000 men out of a population of 8,000,000 whites offered their services to the Confederacy in the first year of the Civil War, before its close disaffection and active disloyalty in every Confederate state had seriously weakened the Southern cause. The reasons for this disaffection were many: loyalty to the Union and apathy toward secession, the resentment of poor whites at being drafted to fight 'a rich man's war,' an intense sectionalism within the seceding states themselves, the pacifist influence of certain foreign and Quaker groups . A solid and well documented study." ~New Republic / "This is the sort of book necessary to balance accounts of the Southern Confederacy. Heretofore, the impression has been too often left that the South fought as a unit with a common purpose." ~Journal of Southern History.

A must for all serious students of the Civil War." ~ Albert Castel, author of Decision in the West: The Atlanta Campaign of 1864. Atlanta 1864 brings to life this crucial campaign of the Civil War, as federal armies under William T. Sherman contended with Joseph E. Johnston and his successor, John Bell Hood, and moved steadily through Georgia to occupy the rail and commercial center of Atlanta. Sherman's efforts were undertaken as his former commander, Ulysses S. Grant, set out on a similar mission to destroy Robert E. Lee or drive him back to Richmond. These struggles were the millstones that Grant intended to use to grind the Confederacy's strength into dust. By fall, Sherman's success in Georgia had assured the re~election of Abraham Lincoln and determined that the federal government would never acquiesce in the independence of the Confederacy. Richard M. McMurry examines the Atlanta campaign as a political and military unity in the context of the greater struggle of the war itself.

It not only is a fascinating example of the literary mode of the time; it also provides us with invaluable commentary on other works and authors of the era, commentary that is nowhere else available. It is also a very important repository of Arthurian lore."~Thomas L. Keller, Southern Illinois University. "This translation provides a readable and reliable text that will give a deeper understanding of early thirteenth~century attitudes toward chivalric figures and ideas."~James E. Engel, Vanderbilt University. In his crowning adventure Sir Gawein undergoes dramatic tests of his courage and chastity while pursuing the Holy Grail. He journeys through enchanted forests, encounters dragons and giants and desirable women, and strives always to uphold the knightly ideals of the court of King Arthur. Now the only German romance to center on the popular Gawein is available to general readers and scholars with this first translation of The Crown into English or any other modern language. Composed early in the thirteenth century by Heinrich von dem Türlin, The Crown is a glittering storehouse of Arthurian lore, of courtly themes and motifs rife with medieval magic and miracles as well as monsters and the goddess Fortune. J. W. Thomas's prose translation, keyed to the lines of the original poem, reflects as closely as possible Heinrich's language before it was corrupted in later medieval manuscripts. In a critical introduction Thomas discusses the sources of the poem, its place in medieval European literature, and its formal characteristics. Sir Gawein, champion of the chivalric ideal and defender of the oppressed, lives again in this translation of a key work that will enrich our understanding of the Arthurian tradition.
