A Strange and Blighted Land: Gettysburg, The Aftermath of a Battle

10 reviews
Gregory A. Coco

Thomas Publications (PA), 1996

A sobering look at the aftermath of Gettysburg
This book isn't about the battle of Gettysburg. It's about the price that was paid for that battle by the men who fought it and the citizens of the town. The aftermath of Gettysburg was a nightmare beyond imagination. After the guns fell silent Coco shows us that there was much to do. Thousands of dead soldiers needed to be buried and tens of thousands of wounded to be treated. How do you do all ...

Leon F. Litwack

Alfred A. Knopf: NY, 1979

Indispensable study of African Americans after emancipation
Few populations in history have gone through the dramatic changes that African Americans underwent at the end of the Civil War. People who had suffered slavery for generations suddenly found themselves free, a welcome yet uncertain status that required considerable exploration and adjustment. Leon Litwack's book examines this transition, concentrating on how freed African Americans perceived ...

nearly impossible to put down
The book pulls you in right away and you find yourself engrossed, unable to stop reading so you can find out what happens next. It is vivid, funny, and poignant as it details issues we all can relate to - growing up, letting go, and finding our path in an active way.

James A. Graves Jr.

Crystal Dreams Publishing, 2003

Fun to read
Aftermath1, Fight for Survival to simply put, is a fun book to read. The author clearly completed extensive research for the material of this book. It's exciting how the author merged vintage aircraft with todays aircraft in the twists of this story. The book offers excitement, laughs, and some romance with believable characters you can't help but root for and hope all works out in a ...

Hodder & Stoughton General, 2007

Aftermath Seeks That Flame Which Consumed the Bomb Wick

Jacqueline Renee Moore

PublishAmerica, 2006

Plath, Sexton and Wolf in one!
This poet's work is marked by a linguistic surrealism that would make Dali blush with envy. Though the poet's words have a dark and biting wit that would not look out of place in one of the dialogues of Oscar Wilde, there still appears to be some hope in the breathless wreckage that is "Aftermath!" Some of the poems are reminiscent of, but in some ways better than, those written by Anne Sexton ...

The Aftermath: A Diary from the Future

6 reviews
Cassandra Lepanto

BookSurge Publishing, 2007

Are you prepared?
This novel entertains and engages the reader in an easy page-turner, all while catapulting her/him from complacency into urgent and specific actions of preparation for "the worst." Through the unfolding story of a survivor of cataclysm, we see how politics, lifestyle, and relationships with neighbors near and far, all profoundly influence our health, well-being, and ability to survive disaster. ...

Only a Few Bones: A True Account of the Rolling Fork Tragedy & Its Aftermath

9 reviews
John Philip Colletta

Direct Descent, 2000

The Best Way to Learn How To Write a Gripping Family Story
I've been fortunate to hear Dr. Colletta speak at several genealogy conferences. He is a master at gleaning facts from newspapers, family tales, and other sources to illustrate his family stories, and this story of trying to find the truth behind a family tragedy taught me so much about putting together a readable family book. I never even thought to look at weather reports to see what was ...

Head Cases: Stories of Brain Injury and Its Aftermath

Michael Paul Mason

Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2008

well written .. an engaging read!
I loved this book and read it in one sitting. As the mom of a TBI victim, it was an eye opening book. I felt a little disheartened by the grim reality presented by the author (he is a little gloomy .. ) but I think the book will inspire me to continue to be "a squeaky wheel" on my daughter's behalf. I have QUITE the head injury library at this point, and many are written by survivors or ...

Aftermath: World Trade Center Archive

Joel Meyerowitz

Phaidon Press, 2006

Amazing collection of photographs by a very gifted photographer
I first saw photographs from this collection at the Museum of Modern Art in Salzburg, Austria. Anyone who entered the gallery was immediately struck by a panorama of ground zero on one wall, each emitting an audible gasp, then standing before it for several minutes in silence. Meyerowitz is an extremely gifted photgrapher, and I recommend other of his collections for viewing. Cape Light: Color ...

Ashley'S Garden Aftermath Of Oklahoma City Bombing

5 reviews
Candy Chand, Kathleen Treanor

Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2002

I couldn't put it down
I started this book thinking it would take me a while to read it, but I read it over two days because I just could not stop reading. Kathleen Treanor's story is very personal; it's not just what you know from the news. And much of the book focuses on her healing process. She offers hope to anyone who has suffered a tragedy, not just those affected in Oklahoma or New York. I never realized how ...

Pamela Perez

1st Books Library, 2003

A valuable resource!
If you have experienced abuse of any kind, or know someone who has, this is an important book to read. Few others are written from this perspective.

Aftermath: The Mars Arena\Iceblood

5 reviews
James Axler

Gold Eagle, 2006

Bought it for the cover
I've read Iceblood before, but not Mars Arena...it was pretty much like most of the other Deathlands books I've tried to read--basically silly, full of retarded rednecks carrying shotguns and retarded mutants. Flying monkeys? I thought this series was supposed to be set in post-nuke America, not post-nuke Oz! DL really comes off as dated. Iceblood is vastly the best of the two books ...

Courage After the Crash: Flight 93 Aftermath--An Oral and Pictorial Chronicle

6 reviews
Glenn J. Kashurba

Saj Publishing, 2002

A book to keep forever
I loved this book! It's the first 9/11 book I've seen that let's the people involved with the aftermath tell the story rather than the author. If you like Studs Terkel, you'll love this book, and if you don't know him you'll like it anyway. The oral chronicle combined with the pictures will produce a variety of emotions. This is the kind of book you'll want to keep, buy for your kids and save ...

Writing in the Dust: Reflections on 11th September and its Aftermath

4 reviews
Rowan Williams

Hodder Headline, 2002

A beautifully written, provocatively nuanced book
In this haunting and deeply meditative reflection, Rowan Williams has introduced a badly needed "breathing space" into the furious debate surrounding the events of 9/11. "Breathing space," in fact, is the central theme that runs through his little book--breathing space as a moment in which time seems to cease, we are caught in a void, and ordinary worries that involve self-concern and ...

Remembering
Holleran, Andrew. "Chronicle of a Plague, Revisited", De Capo Press, 2008. Remembering Amos Lassen It is always an important day for me when a new Andrew Holleran book comes out. Holleran was the author who introduced me to the world of gay literature and last year I finally had the chance to meet him when my reading group invited him to participate in the Arkansas Literary Festival.

M.D. Glenn J. Kashurba

SAJ Publishing, 2006

Great Companion for Courage After the Crash but individually, is outstanding!
The author has given the reader an accurate collection of facts regarding Flight 93 and everything that has transpired in Somerset County since that fateful day. This book encompasses the 9/11 plot, the investigation, the recovery, and continues through to include information on the memorial efforts. Quiet Courage is a well organized, important resource for anyone who wants to know the truth ...

Carrie M. Freitag

Chevron Pub Corp, 2003

Excellent book
This book is excellent as a resource for anyone wanting to understand murder bereavement as a professional or a friend. As someone who has lost a loved one to murder, I find this book invaluable. It helps me understand myself, and understand how this massive trauma pervades every aspect of life, throughout life. This book breaks things down and the chapter headings help you to use it as a ...

To Bear Any Burden: The Vietnam War and Its Aftermath in the Words of Americans and Southeast Asians

5 reviews
Al Santoli

Dutton Books, 1985

A "must-read" classic of America's involvement in SE Asia
I first read To Bear Any Burden when it was originally released in 1985. This has been a 'must-read' classic of American involvement in Southeast Asia since it was published. For it, Santoli interviewed, in depth, 47 individuals representative of that involvement from 1945 into the 1980s--Americans, Viet-Namese (communists and anti-communists), Cambodians and Laotians. The book is so artfully ...
