Informationen zum Autor My name is Mark Grimsley, and I live on the Fraser Coast. I developed Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) following an incident during deployment on active service as an aircraft life support fitter for the air force. I felt trapped by my disability until my daughter gave me a camera for Christmas and I taught myself photography. This experience helped me reshape my mind and find some independence and connection with the community again. I now have an extensive collection of local bird and wildlife images. I wish to share my experience with my disorder and educate others about FND and service dogs. Klappentext Through comparisons with earlier European wars and through the testimony of Union soldiers and Southern civilians alike, Grimsley shows that Union soldiers exercised restraint even as they made war against the Confederate civilian population. 10 halftones. 3 maps. Zusammenfassung This volume! first published in 1996! fits into an interpretation of the Civil War that questions its status as a 'total war' and emphasizes instead the survival of political logic and control even in the midst of a sweeping struggle for the nation's future. Inhaltsverzeichnis Introduction; 1. The roots of a policy; 2. Conciliation and its challenges; 3. Early occupations; 4. Conciliation abandoned; 5. War in earnest; 6.
