Great Task Remaining（ISBN=9780618990641） 115盘 下载 pdf txt 电子版 mobi snb docx

The Great Task Remaining is a striking, often poignant portrait

of people balancing their own values—rather than ours—to determine

whether the horrors attending Mr. Lincoln’s war were worth bearing

in order to achieve his ultimate goals. As 1863 unfolds, we see the

useless bloodbath at Fredericksburg, the disaster at

Chancellorsville, the battle--of Gettysburg, and the end of the

siege of Vicksburg. Then,Astonishingly, the Confederacy springs

vigorously back to lifeAfter the Union triumphs of the summer,

setting the stage for Lincoln’s now famous speech on the

Pennsylvania battlefield.Without abandoning the underlying sympathy

for Lincoln, Marvel makes a convincing argument for the Gettysburg

Address as being less of a paean to liberty than an appeal to stay

the course in the face of rampant antiwar sentiment. The Great Task

Remaining offers a provocative history--of a dramatic year—a year

that saw victory and defeat, doubt And riot—as well as a compelling

story of a people who clung to the promise of a much-longed-for

end.
