Eisenschiml? Really?
Some people have their role models. I see a lot in common.Eisenschiml? Really?
I think one can understand a perspective without defending it. So we differ.
May I ask why you switch from the first person to the plural? Who is the "we" ?I'm using the poster's own word. I believe it was a deliberate choice (and it's repeated). He can tell us what he means. That is, if he answers the question. We've found securing answers from him to be difficult.
Several posters have asked him questions, including Cash and Bee. Haven't you been following these exchanges?May I ask why you switch from the first person to the plural? Who is the "we" ?

There's more than one thread in this discussion group. Thanks for your concern.I count 28 posts in this thread, none of which are people you mentioned.
Most books written on the Civil War over the last three decades are one sided, sometimes severely one sided
Just answering a poster's questions. No need to get excited.There's probably more than one moderator on board, too. Hard to see why a discussion on books to read has to end with puffed-out keyboards. Calm thyselves.

Says you, because they don't agree with your agenda? I have tried to understand where you are coming from on this, alas, you gave no examples of such "severely one sided " books. Well, we are getting a little closer, now that Professor McPherson has been targeted...
That being said, @MHB1862 the books that your friend ultimately chooses to begin with is probably the most important decision that one can make when undertaking the study of a new topic, because it is these first books that will leave most lasting impression. Believe it or not, my first book was Killer Angels, which sent me on a Lost Cause tailspin that was almost beyond repair, and I was supposed to be an educated, objective, critically trained thinker. Choose wisely, and even more important, choose wisely those of whom you listen to and act upon, regarding their advice in this realm.
Thank you for replying and indicating that your choice of language was deliberate. It helps us understand your perspective better.
