Awesome Bitterly Album and Music Offers

From the author of the celebrated A People's History of the Civil War, a new account of the Confederacy's collapse from within.

The American Confederacy, historian David Williams reveals, was in fact fighting two civil wars—an external one that we hear so much about and an internal one about which there is scant literature and virtually no public awareness.

From the Confederacy's very beginnings, Williams shows, white southerners were as likely to have opposed secession as supported it, and they undermined the Confederate war effort at nearly every turn. The draft law was nearly impossible to enforce, women defied Confederate authorities by staging food riots, and most of the time two-thirds of the Confederate army was absent with or without leave. In just one of many telling examples in this rich and eye-opening narrative history, Williams shows that, if the nearly half-million southerners who served in the Union military had been with the Confederates, the opposing forces would have been evenly matched.

Shattering the myth of wartime southern unity, this riveting new analysis takes on the enduring power of the Confederacy's image and reveals it to be, like the Confederacy itself, a hollow shell..

"Oh Beautiful" is three heartfelt yet biting satirical and iconoclastic novellas ruminating the state of America’s empire post-World War II. The stories chronicle a once isolationist nation and its citizens as the country transforms itself into a vast empire -- a superpower. Each story has intricate insights weaving fact and fiction into three intimately personal stories about the emotional, mental and spiritual benefits and burdens of power, wealth, prosperity, and the quest for truth, virtue, honor, and love. "Memoirs of a Bitterly Cold War" follows “Samuel Haydn,” a boy who enlists in World War II as a wide-eyed 15-year-old anxious to distract himself from the death of his parents, and the loss of his first love. The story follows Haydn into the CIA after the war -- the greatest cataclysm in the country’s history -- where he quickly rises through the ranks of the most far reaching clandestine network in the world. Haydn has a hand in the overthrow of democratically elected governments, he assassinates world leaders, and initiates dissonance in anti-war and social movements. His deeds gain him respect, admiration, jealousy and resentment at the highest levels of the CIA. The burdens of power cause Haydn to come undone as he sacrifices everything including love, family, wealth, and veracity to protect an ideology he grows obsessed with..
