Hi everyone -
Hope you can join us next week for:
THE REPUBLIC OF SUFFERING: Death and the American Civil War by Drew
Gilpin Faust [pub 2009] 346 pages
Pulitzer Prize and American Book Award finalist. Author is President
of Harvard Univ.
Book documents the social, religious, and psychological coping
mechanisms adopted by Civil War America. More than a book about the
Civil War, it's also a meditation on the meaning of war and the human
need to somehow infuse meaning into an enterprise that often seems so
bleakly wasteful and tragically brutal.
