audiobook Arab Rebirth by Jacques Berque in History

Description

In this collection of well-written and lucid essays; the life; career; and impact of Irish Major General Patrick R. Cleburne is definitively reassessed. A Meteor Shining Brightly corrects inaccuracies in published accounts of Cleburne’s life; and explores aspects of Cleburne’s life that made him unique among Civil War generals. This collection of essays by various historians covers Cleburne’s life from his immigration as a young man to the United States; his experiences becoming a self-made man in Arkansas; and how he joined the Confederate Army to defend the state in which he and his family had been given a fresh start. His rise through the ranks was limited because he had advocated arming slaves to support the Confederate cause. He died during an impossible charge on Franklin; Tennessee and Jefferson Davis honored him with the nickname; "Stonewall of the West."
