  Cold Harbor: Grant and Lee, May 26-June 3, 1864

  Book (Louisiana State Univ Pr)
  

  Rating (19 reviews):

  (4.2/5)

  

  A fine continuation of a top-notch history

  I suppose that the most fitting summation of the merits of Gordon Rhea's "Cold Harbor" that I can give would be to simply state that it fully meets the standards established by its predecessors. Rhea has already published three outstanding volumes about the 1864 Overland Campaign waged between Grant and Lee. The present volume wholly lives up to the promise of those earlier books. Despite the complexity of the events described, Rhea's narrative is clear and compelling, and I have gained an understanding of the what's and why's of the Cold Harbor battle that far surpasses anything before.Rhea challenges several popular misconceptions about the battle, especially regarding the famous, ill-fated grand attack of June 3rd. Although in recent years understanding has grown amongst specialist military historians that the image of a hugely costly and essentially unprecedented sacrifice of attacking troops was much more a product of myth rather than fact (Rhea concludes that Pickett's... 5/5 Bruce Trinque (Amston, CT United States) - See all my reviews, August 24, 2002

  Cold Harbor as campaign history...

  Most contemporary histories of the Civil War cover the 1864 Overland Campaign as a series of maneuvers from the Rapidan river ultimately to Appomattox with emphasis on the major battles fought at the Wilderness, Spotsylvania, North Anna River, Cold Harbor and the siege at Petersburg. Little is publicized concerning the planning and marches to and from these prestigous battlefields, until Gordon Rhea's study of this series of battles. In Cold Harbor, Rhea's latest in this series, he comes clean with the details of the maneuvers from the North Anna river to Cold Harbor and the ensuing battles on June 1st and 3rd, 1864. By providing such a complete and comprehensive campaign history, Rhea sacrifices (in my opinion) some of his previous improvements in "readability" and essentially redefines what a "campaign history" reads like.Even though this period does encompass a significant amount of maneuvering, cavalry battles, small infantry engagements and entrenchments,... 4/5 Thomas Moody - See all my reviews, June 25, 2003

  Portability Perfected

  I purchased the to replace my 2011 Macbook Pro 13". I am a lecturer / graduate student, and this is now my main computer.BUILD QUALITYIt is surprisingly sturdy. Although I plan to purchase a clear case for it (probably from iPearl), I think you could probably get away with using nothing at all. This ruggedness is an amazing feat, considering its light weight. Owners of previous Macbook Airs will enjoy more of the same.DISPLAYThe Macbook Air has a beautiful display that is quite bright, crisp, and clear. The automatic dimmer function adjusts the brightness level according to the ambient light, and I have found that this works really well. Personally, I think the colors on the Macbook Pro 13" display "popped" a little bit more, and I liked the... 5/5 Christopher Mayo (New Jersey) - See all my reviews, June 13, 2012

  Thrilled with my 11" 2012 Macbook Air!

  UPDATE Oct 26, 2012: For about four months, my 11" Air has been my main computer. I am just as happy with it now as the day I got it. Battery life has consistently been close to the 5 hours Apple claims, sometimes more. Performance is consistently blazingly fast, and traveling with the Air is a dream (2.4 pounds and super thin instead of 4-6 pounds for a regular laptop). No scratches on the aluminum body or display. No problems of any kind. If my Air was lost or stolen, I would buy the same one again without thinking about it. Here's my original review:-----------The 11" 2012 Air is a winner in my opinion. It offers absolutely excellent performance and it is amazingly portable despite having a comfortable full-sized keyboard and an excellent display. The design is beautiful and build quality is exceptional.I ordered my 2012 11" Macbook Air the day it was introduced, received it a few days later, and have used it intensively since. I also... 5/5 Ron Cronovich "Ron" (Kenosha, WI) - See all my reviews, June 24, 2012

  DJMoody's Quick Read Review:

  I am reviewing this item alongside my Retina Macbook Pro, so I will be doing some comparisons.I bought this laptop to replace a family members aging Asus laptop. She was not a power user, and was convinced she wanted to buy an Apple. I helped her choose the Air, because she really just needs a general use laptop, not a powerful computer.Qualifications: Senior At Clemson University in Computer Engineering, and would consider myself a power user, but I will be writing this review for the purposes of non-power users, as I do not believe this laptop to be the best option for people that need processing power, but for consumers that want a quality laptop for everyday tasks.Build Quality: 9/10. The unbelievably thin of 2008 doesn't seem quite so thin anymore. How times change. That said, this laptop is extremely well built, and feels well built, yet very light and compact. I do feel as if you need to be careful with it, just because it is so thin, but... 4/5 DJMoody - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

  Best book ever!!

  I hope that everyone in the whole world reads this book, because I did and I couldn't stop talking about it. I acted like it was the only book anyone could read on this whole planet. It was very funny, but I do not recommend this book for anyone who does not have a sense of humor. In this book, Junie B is going on vacation to Hawaii. Everyone thinks she is so lucky to go, except for Lucille, who has been there a thousand times. She is asked to take pictures. Will her pictures turn out really good, or will they be horrible? To find out the answers to these questions and more, read Junie B. First Grader, Aloha-ha-ha!Written by Hannah, age 7 1/2 5/5 S. Latson (St Louis, Mo USA) - See all my reviews, May 27, 2006

  Junie B is hilarious

  my children have loved this series for a while now, and now my youngest is just getting into it. Her big sister enjoys reading the books to her because she gets to re-visit them. She was so excited to get this latest installment, and read it immediately! Now they anxiously await the next book. 5/5 0, June 26, 2006
