The legend originated with Lincoln himself, who early in the war concluded that he possessed a keen strategic and tactical mind.

“It is well that war is so terrible,” Robert E. Lee reportedly said, “or we would grow too fond of it.” The essays collected here make the case that we have grown too fond of it, and therefore we must make the war terrible again. Taking a “freakonomics” approach to Civil War studies, each contributor uses a seemingly unusual story, incident, or phenomenon to cast new light on the nature of the war itself. Collectively the essays remind us that war is always about damage, even at i...

Tien jaar geleden verdween een tienjarig meisje in een ondergronds gangenstelsel, waar Ridley Barnes dagen later uit kwam lopen, met het meisje in zijn armen. Barnes heeft nog altijd geen idee waar en hoe hij het meisje vond en is na al die jaren nog steeds op zoek naar antwoorden. Novak vermoedt echter dat er andere redene...
