From Atlanta to victoryIn this second volume of General Cox's personal view of the great American Civil War, we join him as a divisional commander concluding his part in the operations in East Tennessee prior to a change of theatre as the campaign about Atlanta commences. Cox's close contact with the principal figures of the Union Army, and his in depth knowledge of the opposing soldiers of the Confederate forces, combine with his historian's ability to relate events in which he was personally involved in a wider historical context to create a unique memoir. So it is that the reader is able to follow the campaigns against Hood at Nashville and the ultimate collapse of the Confederate States, whilst sharing the phenomenon of remedying the filling of one's boots with water whilst remaining mounted for long periods. For those fascinated by the American Civil War, Cox is a highly companionable narrator throughout his essential memoirs.

The Civil War of a noted U. S. GeneralAlthough Cox is well known as a chronicler of the Civil War-through books on campaigns, battles and principal characters-this book is entirely different. This is the story of the Civil War as it touched his own life. It is, as he says, 'a narrative by one who was an active participant from its beginning to its end and in which he has deliberately avoided repetition of the contents of his other works'. This first volume begins with Cox's appointment as Brigadier-General of Volunteers commanding Ohioan and Kentuckian troops, and then describes his subsequent experiences in West Virginia, the Kanawha Valley and the battles leading to Antietam and beyond. Cox manages to successfully combine a historian's overview of the whole war with historic events that unfolded in his presence, to create an essential Civil War memoir.

Haunted and humorous-an irresistible anthology of spooky fictionAlmost everybody loves a good ghost story. Masters (and especially mistresses) of the art of the short story have left us many finely crafted examples to enjoy around a warm, open fire as the dark and cold press in but remain excluded behind thick curtains. There is a certain pleasing thrill-a titillation of enjoyment-in the most unadulterated frightening tales. This book takes a different tack. Not content to give the reader a shudder of fear, the editor has sought out some of the finest exponents of the genre, and chosen stories that seek to bring a smile-and perhaps a chuckle-to the faces of enthusiasts of haunted tales. 'Funny Bones' contains 19 stories of the supernatural to amuse and frighten-often at the same time. Great fun!
