The role of the Missouri Confederate in the Civil War is too
often typified as that of the Bushwhacker, guerrilla, or partisan
ranger. Although these soldiers are certainly part of Missouri's
Confederate history, Missouri soldiers also fought for the South at
Shiloh and Corinth, from Vicksburg to Atlanta, in the assault at
Franklin, and in defense of Fort Blakely in Mobile Bay. Printed
primary accounts about these Confederate regiments from Missouri
are few. In this new book, author and editor William C. Winter
presents the story of the 1st Missouri Infantry, one of the best of
these regiments, through the words of Captain Joseph Boyce of
Company D, the St. Louis Greys.Less than two decades after the war,
Boyce began presenting his history of the regiment to the Southern
Historical and Benevolent Society of St. Louis. His text appeared
in the "Missouri Republican" after each lecture, resulting in a
serialized account spread over several years. Boyce's narrative
addresses his service from his involvement as a member of the
Missouri Volunteer Militia in the Camp Jackson massacre on May 10,
1861, until the regiment's surrender at Fort Blakely near Mobile,
Alabama, in April 1865. Boyce's history is offered here in full and
as a continuous story for the first time.Winter has written the
necessary introduction to each chapter, adding background to
Boyce's narrative that to Boyce was unneeded because many in his
initial audience had shared the experience of war. Through
extensive footnotes and the incorporation of other writings by
Boyce, Winter has significantly expanded Boyce's history but has
maintained the focus on the regiment's service in the war's western
theater.
Written by two INFOSEC experts, this book provides a systematic and
practical approach for establishing, managing and operating a
comprehensive Information Assurance program. It is designed to
provide ISSO managers, security managers, and INFOSEC professionals
with an understanding of the essential issues required to develop
and apply a targeted information security posture to both public
and private corporations and government run agencies.
There is a growing concern among all corporations and within the
security industry to come up with new approaches to measure an
organization's information security risks and posture. Information
Assurance explains and defines the theories and processes that will
help a company protect its proprietary information including:
* The need to assess the current level of risk.
* The need to determine what can impact the risk.
* The need to determine how risk can be reduced.
The authors lay out a detailed strategy for defining information
security, establishing IA goals, providing training for security
awareness, and conducting airtight incident response to system
compromise. Such topics as defense in depth, configuration
management, IA legal issues, and the importance of establishing an
IT baseline are covered in-depth from an organizational and
managerial decision-making perspective.
* Experience-based theory provided in a logical and comprehensive
manner.
* Management focused coverage includes establishing an IT security
posture, implementing organizational awareness and training, and
understanding the dynamics of new technologies.
* Numerous real-world examples provide a baseline for assessment
and comparison.
