Was the Civil War preordained to last four years or were there
reasons why neither side could land a knockout punch? From the
outset, both North and South anticipated a brief conflict but
despite more than 50 bloody battles neither could force a decisive
conclusion. For most of the war, these battles followed a pattern:
the victors claimed the field and the vanquished retreated to rest,
resupply and fight another day.Some generals began to realize that
pursuit to capture or destroy the retreating enemy was needed to
end the war. Yet this was easier said than done. Taking a fresh
look at the zero-sum tactics that characterized many major combat
actions in the war, this book examines the performance of
unsuccessful (sometimes insubordinate) commanders and credits two
generals with eventually seeing the need for organized pursuit.

Between 1929 and 1942, Hungary's motion picture industry
experienced meteoric growth. It leapt into Europe's top echelon,
trailing only Nazi Germany and Italy in feature output. Yet by
1944, Hungary's cinema was in shambles, internal and external
forces having destroyed its unification experiments and productive
capacity. This original cultural and political history examines the
birth, unexpected ascendance, and wartime collapse of Hungary's
early sound cinema by placing it within a complex international
nexus. Detailing the interplay of Hungarian cultural and political
elites, Jewish film professionals and financiers, Nazi officials,
and global film moguls, David Frey demonstrates how the
transnational process of forging an industry designed to define a
national culture proved particularly contentious and surprisingly
contradictory in the heyday of racial nationalism and antisemitism.
