by Shelby Foote (Author) – $36.00 OBO
($45 on Amazon)
Shelby Foote is a novelist who temporarily abandoned fiction to apply the novelist's shaping hand to history: his model is not Thucydides but The Iliad, and his story, innocent of notes and formal bibliography, has a literary design. Not by accident...but for cathartic effect is so much space given to the war's unwinding, its final shudders and convulsions. To read this chronicle is an awesome and moving experience. History and literature are rarely so thoroughly combined as here, one finishes this volume convinced that no one need undertake this particular enterprise again.
