On June 27; 1862; with the American Civil War already a year old; General Robert E. Lee assumed personal command of troops engaged in driving the Federal Army of the Potomac out of Richmond – troops which would henceforth be known as The Army of Northern Virginia. Philip Katcher explores in absorbing detail all aspects of the army; including infantry; cavalry; artillery; technical and medical corps; paying particular attention to equipment; weapons and uniforms. Contemporary and museum photographs; together with the author's expert text; combine to paint a vivid and accurate picture of what life was like for the average confederate soldier.

Great overview of how the Old Testament is the foundation for ChristianityBy Geoff HazelAnyone wondering what the Old Testament is all about can get a good birds eye overview of the themes by reading this book. Edith Schaffer presents a progressive line of the two strains of humanity: belief and unbelief; and how those strains are brought forward and dealt with over time; from Genesis through the whole Old Testament; and then through the New Testament. This book will give you a framework to hang individual parts of the Old Testament on; so you can see it as a whole; and not just an unrelated collection of books and stories. Further; she shows how Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of the prophesies and traditions of sacrifice in the Old Testament; which is why the title is "Christianity is Jewish" is spot on.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

BeauchampOne of the better Schaffer books. I haven't read them all; but this fits with the tapestry of life's events; which helps to make sense of it all. This one doesn't require you to have some familiarity with the history of civilization.
