Bearss ; "Among the most disturbing scenes found in American history are the stark images of Union soldiers newly released from Andersonville. Those gaunt, malnourished prisoners of war--now displayed for all posterity as if they were living skeletons in a carnival sideshow--continue to evoke feelings of utter shock, profound sadness, and bitter regret." --from the Prologue, "Andersonville Revisited". Andersonville is remembered for several reasons, among them, the total of 12,912 Union prisoners and 250 Confederate guards who died there between February, 1864 and April, 1865. No other American POW camp received as much publicity as Andersonville, with the U.S. Department of War even circulating photographs of emaciated prisoners, which were reprinted in history texts. Seldom did there appear a mention of the fact that Union soldiers imprisoned there received the same medical care and rations as Confederate soldiers in the field.While there has been much written about Andersonville, this book presents seldom-seen documentation from Confederates familiar with the camp, as well as discussions by contemporary historians. This book is an effort to clarify the troubling questions that remain about the camp: How could this tragedy have happened? And who was to blame? fine. Book.…

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen. Hoe ga je om met machtsmisbruik en corruptie? Op welke manier kun je onrecht rechtzetten? Welke handelwijze is de juiste in tijden van crisis? Wanneer moet je toegeeflijk en meedogend zijn, en wanneer streng en doortastend? Over deze en andere dilemma's in het leven handelen de 101 Chinese verhalen in Wijsheids wondere wegen. De anekdotes, volksvertellingen en legendes stammen uit de tijd dat China werd geregeerd door dynastieën. Iedere keizer had notulisten in dienst, die nauwgezet de conversaties en de gedragingen van hun heerser optekenden en verslag deden van opmerkelijke gebeurtenissen en personen. In 1626 selecteerde de overheidsambtenaar Mon-Lon Feng uit de vier omvangrijke officiële geschiedschrijvingen die er toen waren, ruim twaalfhonderd verhalen in vier wijsheidscategorieën. Feng leefde in de nadagen van de Ming-dynastie en was regelmatig getuige van kortzichtigheid en corruptie in overheidskringen. Hij wilde de oude wijsheden breder toegankelijk maken en zijn collega's aanzetten tot meer ruimdenkendheid, moed en visie. Met zijn bloemlezing van Feng's werk laat China-kenner WALTON C. LEE de huidige westerse lezer op onderhoudende en leerzame wijze kennismaken met de tijdloze inzichten uit het Oosten. In dit boek komen keizers, commandanten, kooplieden en anderen in onvoorziene situaties te staan voor de vraag: Wat is wijsheid? Hun antwoorden hebben nog niets aan geldingskracht verloren. …
