My Odyssey through History: Memoirs of War and AcademeLSU Press, 07.11.2003 - 132 Seiten In this delightful book, historian Charles P. Roland chronicles his life from boyhood in 1920s rural Tennessee to retirement after a distinguished fifty-year academic career. Modestly and with understated humor, this prominent scholar of southern and Civil War history turns his perceptive eye to his own past, mixing personal recollections with incisive social commentary to provide fascinating details about growing up in the South during the Great Depression, soldiering in World War II, and teaching college history in the turbulent second half of the twentieth century. By turns charming, gripping, and tragic, Roland’s memoir is a testament to the extraordinary events of the seemingly ordinary life. |
