Stunningly brilliant; standard-setting for scholarship in the field; Henry Greenspan's 2010 version of On Listening to Holocaust Survivors transcends the path-breaking first edition by putting into bold relief the insights that emerge from his more than thirty years of intensive collaboration with Holocaust survivors. By emphasizing the importance of ongoing conversation; rather than one-time testimony; Greenspan challenges conventional wisdom and wisely transforms the process of discerning and responding to what survivors of the Holocaust and other genocides have to say.--John K. Roth; Edward J. Sexton Professor Emeritus of Philosophy; and Founding Director; Center for the Study of the Holocaust; Genocide; and Human Rights; Claremont McKenna College.

It is a treasure for me!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. One of a kindBy Merideth SearsThe only reason I give it four stars instead of the five; is I would have liked to have seen more photographs and maybe maps? But it's very comprehensive and gave me the information I wanted for genealogy research. A very good reference work and I know of no other for the Missouri Confederate Units.8 of 8 people found the following review helpful. Outstanding reference work!By Andy PapenI just finished this book; and it is outstanding. Jim McGhee covers every Missouri unit that organized for Confederate service. Units of all three branches of service are covered here; from regiments all the way down to independent companies. The book is limited to Confederate units; see Sterling Price's Lieutenants for information on State Guard units. The book is organized by branch of service (all artillery units in one section; then cavalry and infantry).There are many strengths to this book. I liked the format. Each unit has a narrative section; covering unit organization and service. There is also a listing of field officers; and a listing of commanders of each company and county of primary origin; when known. I knew quite a bit about the reorganizations of the regiments in the 1st and 2nd Missouri Brigades; but there were numerous renumberings and reorganizations/consolidations of many other Missouri units; and McGhee makes sense of it all. In addition; a bibliography is provided for each unit; plus a bibliography of more general sources at the end.Bottom line: if you have a serious interest in the Trans-Mississippi Theatre; the Western Theatre; and/or the contributions of Missouri units to the Confederacy; this excellent reference should be on your shelf.
