Dao, James. Congressman s Gun Votes Consistency or Calculation Differing Views of a Republican s Choices. The New York Times, June 21, 1999, p. A15. Explores the battle over gun control in Congress, where a vote may not really mean what it seems to mean. Representative Rick A. Lazio s alleged political calculations are used as an example.

James R. Heath Fighting this battle took too much out of me. 

For example, there are records of the use of mixtures of pitch and/or naphtha with sulfur as a weapon of war during the Battle of Palatea, Greece, in the year 429 BC (Forbes, 1959). There are references to the use of a liquid material, naft (presumably the volatile fraction of petroleum which we now call naphtha and which is used as a solvent or as a precursor to gasoline), as an incendiary material during various battles of the pre-Christian era (James and Thorpe, 1994). This is the so-called Greek fire, a precursor and chemical cousin to napalm.

The number of general accounts of the Civil War is legion and, it would seem, growing daily. Of those, a few stand out. For years the classic treatment was James Ford Rhodes History of the United States from the Compromise of1850 to the Final Restoration of Home Rule at the South in 1877, 1 volumes (New York Macmillan, 1906-1907). For the present study, however, two titles have been especially helpful in giving much-needed context to the military and political events of the Civil War. They were Allan Nevins War for the Union, 4 volumes (1971 reprinted, New York Konecky and Konecky, 2000) and James M. McPherson s Battle Cry of Freedom The Civil War Era (New York Oxford University Press, 1988). Other helpful books have been Richard E. Beringer et al., the South Lost the Civil War (Athens The University of Georgia Press, 1986) Jay Winik, April 1865 The Month That Saved America (New York Perennial, 2001) and William C. Davis, Look Away A History of the Confederate States of America (New York The Free Press, 2002).
