More Books:
War Means Fighting, Fighting Means Killing -- Pea Ridge To The Seven Days, (Vol. 2 of The Civil War, A Narrative), Shelby Foote, Random House, 1958.
Shelby Foote was obviously one of the top handful of American Civil War historians. His books have all been fast, engrossing reading. And, he was so frequently on PBS and History Channel Civil War documentary series. This series of books has great regional maps that I like because of bright colors with high contrast.
The Spanish Civil War -- 1936-1939, Frances Lannon, Osprey Publishing, 2002.
I decided to add books about The Spanish Civil War to 'Civil War Sunday' because this war, unfortunately, is our only model for taking OUR country back. We MAY have ONE MORE CHANCE via the elections of 2010, but if that fails to FREE the House and Senate again, then I don't think these communists will ever lose control without a fight. This war may be the model for the Phase 3 of how we end our 149 year Civil War (as I wrote about in the article weeks ago).
The Battle For Spain -- The Spanish Civil War 1936-1939. Antony Beevor, Weidenfeld & Nicolson, London, 2006.
A huge volume of 432 pages and 50 pages of notes. A blow by blow account of every battle and campaign. Lots of maps. Western leftists have so ignored this war because THEY LOST IT. Any descriptions we have heard have always been distorted and biased against Franco and his Nationalists. I think it is EXTREMELY important for Christians and Conservatives to, at least, look into this war and see it in it's more accurate place in 20th century politics.
