Book Description
Excerpt from A History of the Kansas Crusade: Its Friends and Its Foes The purpose of this book is to show by what agency Kansas was made a free State, and how this result has affected our national life. This triumph of the North was regarded by slave-holders as ample proof that there could never be another slave State in the Union. Hence came the attempt to secede, the Civil War, and the Emancipation Proclamation as "a military necessity." Hence came also an enduring national unity having no conflicting sectional interests. The great Kansas struggle was therefore the pivot on which this nation turned to a nobler development and to a higher and happier condition of all its people. The consequences of this triumph of freedom are becoming more and more apparent with each succeeding year. A period longer than is allowed for one generation of men has passed since this contest began - more than a quarter of a century has gone since it was ended. It may therefore be demanded why there has been so long delay in making public record of the methods which have brought us such beneficent results. The Civil War engrossed the attention of all the people for nearly five years. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 721
Book Description
A classic of World War II literature, an incredibly revealing work that provides a near comprehensive account of the war and brings to life the legendary general and eventual president of the United States. • "Gives the reader true insight into the most difficult part of a commander's life." —The New York Times Five-star General Dwight D. Eisenhower was arguably the single most important military figure of World War II. Crusade in Europe tells the complete story of the war as he planned and executed it. Through Eisenhower's eyes the enormous scope and drama of the war--strategy, battles, moments of great decision--become fully illuminated in all their fateful glory. Penned before his Presidency, this account is deeply human and helped propel him to the highest office. His personal record of the tense first hours after he had issued the order to attack leaves no doubt of his travails and reveals how this great leader handled the ultimate pressure. For historians, his memoir of this world historic period has become an indispensable record of the war and timeless classic.
