Battle-Pieces and Aspects of the War (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781974124398)

Dedicated "To the Memory of the Three Hundred Thousand Who in the War For the Maintenance of the Union Fell Devotedly Under the Flag of Their Country" Herman Melville's Battle-Pieces and Aspects of the War published in 1866 is his first book of poetry. It deals with the battles and aftermath of the American Civil war. Told through the personalities, the poems are a very unorthodox style creating praise and criticism. The book also contains Melville's thoughts on post-war reconstruction, this section alone being a must read. Odin's Library Classics is dedicated to bringing the world the best of humankind's literature from throughout the ages. Carefully selected, each work is unabridged from classic works of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, or drama.
