Discusses the Union campaigns against the Confederates and Indians who sought to take advantage of the confusions of the Civil War and how Union leaders undertook vigorous campaigns after the war for the extermination or resettlement of the Indians. Excellently documented and imaginatively written, this phase of the development of the American West comes alive under the author's skillful handling.
Remington revolvers constituted the second most widely used handguns among Union forces in the Civil War. Yet until now there has been very limited detailed information about their design, production, government testing and procurement, and use by both the Union army and navy as compared with extensive data available on Colt military handguns of the same era. Don Ware's book remedies this, following a quarter century of research in largely original source materials, primarily from the National Archives. The text is supported with hundreds of drawings and photos including detailed closeups of inspectors' marks and such minute variations as found in loading levers and cylinder pins.
This book provides a wide-ranging history of every aspect of Stalin's dictatorship over the peoples of the Soviet Union. Drawing on a huge array of primary and secondary sources, The Stalin Era is a first-hand account of Stalinist thought, policy, and the effects of both of these. The book places the man and his ideology into context both within pre-Revolutionary Russia, Lenin's Soviet Union, and post-Stalinist Russia. The Stalin Era examines collectivization; industrialization; terror; government; the cult of Stalin; education and science; family; religion and the Russian Orthodox Church; and art and the state.
This text presents translators from different linguistic backgrounds discussing multilingual translation in the European Union. All articles stress the political dimension of multilingualism, and the professional role of the translator as communicator, on which much of the credibility of a union "speaking with one voice in many languages" will ultimately depend.
