Near Fine. 2002. Softcover. 0060007818 . The year was 1949, and a war-wearied nation turned from the battlefields to the ball fields in search of new heroes. It was a summer that marked the beginning of a sports rivalry unequaled in the annals of athletic competition. The awesome New York Yankees and the indomitable Boston Red Sox were fighting for supremacy of baseball's American League and an aging Joe DiMaggio and a brash, headstrong hitting phenomenon named Ted Williams led their respective teams in a classic pennant duel of almost mythic proportions--one that would be decided in an explosive head-to-head confrontation on the last day of the season...With incredible skill, passion and insight, Pulitzer Prize-winning author David Halberstam returns us to that miraculous summer... And to a glorious time when the dreams of a now almost forgotten America rested on the crack of a bat. ; Perennial Classics Series; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 354 pages; 23705 ., Harper Perennial Modern Classics, 2002, 4, U.S.A: Harper & Row, 1966.

With his deft wit and unconventional style, Davis sorts out the players, the politics, and the key events-Harpers Ferry, Shiloh, Gettysburg, Emancipation, Reconstruction. Drawing on the moving eyewitness accounts of the people who lived through the war, he brings the reader into the world of the ordinary men and women who made history-the human side of the story that the textbooks never tell. Don't Know Much About the Civil War explodes the myths and misconceptions about the war, its causes, and the men who fought on both sides. A brilliant crash course, it vividly brings to life such people as Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis, Generals Lee and Grant, and Admiral Farragut, Frederick Douglass, and Harriet Beecher Stowe. It looks behind the battles and the tactics to the astounding human misery the way brought upon a divided nation. Davis also highlights the critical-and often forgotten-roles played by African Americans before and during the war. He tells how American women worked, nursed, and even fought.
