"This volume in the Borden Institute's history series will describe forward US Army surgery from the 1700s to the present time. The book will look at advances in medicine and surgery that improved the lot of the American soldier. In particular, the book will examine the impact of disease upon troop strength, which had special impact in the Revolutionary War through the post-Civil War period. Forward surgery in the modern sense came of age in World War I. The challenge of so many different theaters of conflict in World War II will be examined from the portable surgical hospital of the China-Burma-India Theater of Operations to the surgical evacuation hospital teams of the European Theater of Operations. The evolving care models will feature the story of the Korean War mobile army surgical hospital. The defining performance of helicopter air evacuation in Vietnam, along with improved surgical techniques, will be discussed. Finally, the many advances of forward surgery from the post-Vietnam era to the present will be presented."--Provided by publisher.

The assassination of President Abraham Lincoln remains one of the most prominent events in U.S. history. It continues to attract enormous and intense interest from scholars, writers, and armchair historians alike, ranging from painstaking new research to wild-eyed speculation. At the end of the Lincoln bicentennial year, and the onset of the Civil War sesquicentennial, the leading scholars of Lincoln and his murder offer in one volume their latest studies and arguments about the assassination, its aftermath, the extraordinary public reaction (which was more complex than has been previously believed), and the iconography that Lincoln’s murder and deification inspired. Contributors also offer the most up-to-date accounts of the parallel legal event of the summer of 1865—the relentless pursuit, prosecution, and punishment of the conspirators. Everything from graphic tributes to religious sermons, to spontaneous outbursts on the streets of the nation’s cities, to emotional mass-mourning at carefully organized funerals, as well as the imposition of military jurisprudence to try the conspirators, is examined in the light of fresh evidence and insightful analysis. The contributors are among the finest scholars who are studying Lincoln’s assassination. All have earned well-deserved reputations for the quality of their research, their thoroughness, their originality, and their writing. In addition to the editors, contributors include Thomas R. Turner, Edward Steers Jr., Michael W. Kauffman, Thomas P. Lowry, Richard E. Sloan, Elizabeth D. Leonard, and Richard Nelson Current.

In Lincoln Lessons, seventeen of today’s most respected academics, historians, lawyers, and politicians provide candid reflections on the importance of Abraham Lincoln in their intellectual lives. Their essays, gathered by editors Frank J. Williams and William D. Pederson, shed new light on this political icon’s remarkable ability to lead and inspire two hundred years after his birth. Collected here are glimpses into Lincoln’s unique ability to transform enemies into steadfast allies, his deeply ingrained sense of morality and intuitive understanding of humanity, his civil deification as the first assassinated American president, and his controversial suspension of habeas corpus during the Civil War. The contributors also discuss Lincoln’s influence on today’s emerging democracies, his lasting impact on African American history, and his often-overlooked international legend—his power to instigate change beyond the boundaries of his native nation. While some contributors provide a scholarly look at Lincoln and some take a more personal approach, all explore his formative influence in their lives. What emerges is the true history of his legacy in the form of first-person testaments from those whom he has touched deeply. Lincoln Lessons brings together some of the best voices of our time in a unique combination of memoir and history. This singular volume of original essays is a tribute to the enduring inspirational powers of an extraordinary man whose courage and leadership continue to change lives today. Contributors Jean H.

This book is a comprehensive examination system. However, for-profit college students should have approved writing and are habituated on training. It’s been a proportion of the constitution that organized authored journals. Its guidelines are the recovering of the microelectronic redundant vacating as an organization concerning reservation of the circumstantial as well as for-profit college journals and research documents. However, this is a new tactic. Many college students are not regular in study and use daily journal and researches. This book is systematically superfluous in State of Somalia College and in African colleges. There were no past studies in primary and high schools for journal and research. For-profit college journals, however, were present, as well as student-building professional academics. You must have those structures daily, if God wills you.

Aw, the Civil War--it's that thing in American history that we're all supposed to know. Sure you know the basics: That the South was the evil racist ones and the North was the nice loving ones...except segregation was everywhere in the North. It was not uncommon for African Americans to be excluded from public transportation and schools. That it was the bloodiest war in American History...except, well...depends on how you define "bloodiest"--like do you actually mean blood? Because while it's true that over 600,000 did lose their life, roughly 400,000 of that was due to poor living conditions--not actually on the battlefield. About 200,000 died on the battlefield, which is, no doubt, blood, but nothing compared to the 400,000+ who died in World War II. That at the end of it there was this thing called the Emancipation Proclamation ended slavery once and for all...except, well...it didn't! Hundreds of thousands were still enslaved because the proclamation only applied to states or territories "in rebellion against the United States." Okay, so maybe you don't know the basics! The Civil War is a complicated piece of American history. If you want to know all there is to know about the Civil War, then there's plenty of lengthy volumes just for you! But if you just want to brush up on your history and understand what it was all about then, you've come to the right book. Be warned! By simple, I mean it! This is a short read--in fact, it will probably only take you about an hour. That's the point! By the time you finish, you'll have a basic understanding and you can find longer books if you want to know more. The book also has trivia facts and a bit of humor--if you don't like to laugh a little, then turn away!
