Bog beskrivelse
In the middle of the nineteenth century steam power replaced muscle power as the prime mover of civilisation, and the Industrial Revolution roared across the world. A new World-Cycle, the Machine Age, was born. But in the Southern United States men took up arms against the imperatives of the machine, and their Lost Cause marked the end of the Age of Agriculture. By the editing of contemporary diaries, letters, essays, newspaper editorials, memoirs, histories and official records, and the collation of them into a narrative form, this work attempts to paint a contemporaneous portrait of the storm-tossed Confederacy and the revolution that swept it away. The narrative is written in the spirit of a bard singing the Confederate Epic. As such, it offers a challenge to some long-cherished American myths, and -- to a de jure federated Republic that is in the late stages of transformation into a de facto centralised Democracy - it speaks Truth to Power.
