“Never in human conflict have such vast democratic infantry forces appeared out of nowhere, wrought such havoc and then dispersed among the consensual culture that fielded them.” Sherman’s March to the Sea and March through the Carolinas in 1864-65, is but one of the examples that Victor David Hansen explores in his book The Soul of Battle : From Ancient Times to the Present Day, How Three Great Liberators Vanquished Tyranny .
Kevin Philips - The Cousins’ Wars – Chronicles the connections among 3 successive civil war battles fought among the English speaking nations and their colonists. Starting with the English Civil War of the 1640s, he shows how the principles and ideologies of Cromwell and the Stuarts passed over to the colonies and how it later affected the American Revolution . Philips traces both the political and the religious ideas that both unify and distinguish these conflicts. You'll see how what we consider 'American' ideas and arguments can be traced back to the religious and political contests of Great Britain centuries before. Although their origins are clouded or forgotten, these conflicts emerge in modern times, most recently in movements like the Tea Party.
