Yael Sternhell traces these records from their creation during wartime through their deployment in a host of postwar battles, including those between the federal government and Southerners seeking reparations and between veterans blaming each other for defeat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese documents were eventually published in the most important historical collection ever to have been assembled in the United States: \u003ci\u003eThe War of the Rebellion: The Official Records of the Union and the Confederate Armies\u003c\/i\u003e. Known as the \u003ci\u003eOR\u003c\/i\u003e, it is the ultimate source for generations of scholars and writers and ordinary citizens researching the war. By delving into the archive, Sternhell reveals its power to shape myths, hide truths, perpetuate rancor, and foster reconciliation. Far more than a storehouse of papers, the Civil War archive is a major historical actor in its own right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000838996204,"sku":"9780300234145","price":71.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/24339193482294.jpg?v=1763309165"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/yael-a-sternhell.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
