Very Good Condition/Near Fine. 9780764340352 Top corner snipped from front endpaper, light age spotting to closed text block, clean unmarked pages; light wear to jacket edges. President Abraham Lincoln appointed 133 Major Generals to lead the union army. Their photographs and biographical sketches are provided in this candid view of the union war effort and its high command. These senior union commanders came from varied civilian and military backgrounds. One thing in common was their inexperience in leading large armies in the field. As the war progressed so did their effectiveness in leading thousands of union troops in massive battles with confederate forces. Some of the generals rose to post-war military and political prominence others faded into obscurity. Featured here are rare cartes de visite (CDV), as well as other rare period images. 400 pages.

Igor Golomstock

A Ransomed Dissident: A Life in Art Under the Soviets

I.B.Tauris, 2018. Hardcover. Fine Condition/Fine. 9781788312950 A clean bright copy, slight curling to top front edge of jacket. Golomstock recounts in lively style his life in three separate communities: the Moscow art world of the 1960s, the human rights movement and the post-1970s emigre milieu of London, Paris and Munich. He is an observer with strong but discriminating opinions; seldom have the personalities who inhabited these worlds - and who in many cases hated each other - been so vividly portrayed. This is an essential study for those who wish to understand the cultural and political conflicts of the late Soviet Union and the Russian emigration.--Geoffrey Hosking, Emeritus Professor of Russian History, University College London 288 pages.

Peter Grant

Philanthropy and Voluntary Action in the First World War: Mobilizing Charity

Routledge, 2014. Hardcover. Very Good Condition. 9780415704946 Inscription to previous owner written on flyleaf, pages otherwise clean and unmarked. This book challenges scholarship which presents charity and voluntary activity during World War I as marking a downturn from the high point of the late Victorian period. Charitable donations rose to an all-time peak, and the scope and nature of charitable work shifted decisively. Far more working class activists, especially women, became involved, although there were significant differences between the suburban south and industrial north of England and Scotland. The book also corrects the idea that charitably-minded civilians’ efforts alienated the men at the front, in contrast to the degree of negativity that surrounds much previous work on voluntary action in this period. 270 pages.
