Like father, like son? Not quite, but the Shaara genes, it seems, are in fine shape. Yet, like his father, Shaara gets deeply into the minds of his protagonists, particularly Stonewall Jackson, who, though shy and deeply religious, proved to be a brutally efficient military leader. Because it covers five eventful years, the narrative is sometimes overwhelmed by its wealth of dramatic material the battles, though convincingly realized, tend to blur into one another. Each is a reluctant warrior who emerges as a gifted soldier possessed of a strong moral conscience in a time of bitter partisanship and hatred. The story is told from their points of view, along with that of Thomas ""Stonewall"" Jackson. Generals Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain and Winfield Scott Hancock are back fighting for the North, and Robert E. The good news is that, while not matching his father's beautifully wrought prose, Shaara tells a tale impressive in its sweep, depth of character and historic verisimilitude.

The fundamental speech-act is only superficially represented by the assertoric grammar. Newspeak occurs whenever the primary purpose of language-which is to describe reality-is replaced by the rival purpose of asserting power over it. While it was Orwell who coined the term, “the capture of language by the left is far older, beginning with the French Revolution and its slogans.” The variety parodied by Orwell in Nineteen Eighty-Four was that of “the Socialist International and the eager engagement of the Russian intelligentsia,” but Newspeak is a worldwide phenomenon.
