Kurzbeschreibung

The bloody slave rebellion led by Nat Turner in Virginia in 1831, and the savage reprisals that followed, shattered beyond repair the myth of the contented slave and the benign master and intensified the forces of change that would plunge America into the bloodbath of the Civil War.

Über den Autor


Stephen B. Oates is the author of sixteen books, including The Approaching Fury; With Malice Toward None: A Life of Abraham Lincoln and Let the Trumpet Sound: A Life of Martin Luther King, Jr., the latter two books winning, respectively, the Christopher Award and the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Book Award. They have been translated into several languages.

Oates was a consultant and "talking head" in Ken Burns's Civil War series on PBS, and is a recipient of the Nevins-Freeman Award of the Chicago Civil War Round Table for lifetime achievement in the field of Civil War studies. A teacher at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, he is now writing the concluding book of the Voices of Storm trilogy, about the years of Reconstruction, 1865-1877.

Einleitungssatz
He was living in the innocent season of his life, in those carefree years before the working age of twelve when a slave boy could romp and run about the plantation with uninhibited glee. Lesen Sie die erste Seite

Format:Taschenbuch
This book is about the best I've located on the subject of Nat Turner and his rebellion. That, however, is not a good as it sounds since I've not come across hardly any books at all on the subject. The author does a good job in detailing the life of Nat Turner and his bloody slave revolt. The only qualms with the book arises 1) when the author glibbly dismisses the strong possibility of Nat being mentally unbalanced, 2) the author glosses over the more pressing reasons for the Civil War to only concentrate on slavery, 3) and the bizarre trip the author took through Virginia to get a feel for where the rebellion happened. This trip was very insulting to southern blacks and whites as the author acted as though he was taking a ride through Lion Country Safari and didn't want any of the "animals" (ie the county's people) to bite him.

I read this book as part of my supplemental reading for college. I must admit that I really had no interest in reading it, but as soon as I started reading the 'foreword', I was hooked. The story of Nat Turner, as seen through the eyes of Stephen Oates, is absolutely riveting. I ended up reading the book in less than 3 days, as I just didn't want to put it down. Stephen Oates has a way of writing that transforms the reader into the actual rebellion and allows one to see and feel the circumstances before, during and after the Nat Turner insurrection and the consequences of it to the South. I highly recommend the book to anyone who has any interest in American history and I'm sure that others will enjoy being transported back into time, as I did.

Learning the truth about the legend 30. August 2000
Von Robert May - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
Nat Turner led the largest slave rebellion in American history. That is an indisputable fact. Unfortunately, not much else is known about the life of this legendary figure. Why did he do what he did? How was he able to do it? What was it about the man that made people follow him into insurrection? In his book, "The Fires Of Jubilee: Nat Turner's Fierce Rebellion", author Stephen B. Oates attempts to answer these questions. Oates clearly did extensive research on his subject. He manages to unearth many new facts about Nat Turner that were previously unknown. Oates presents a vivid picture of what Nat Turner's life must have been like as a slave. He presents enough facts about Nat Turner to give the reader the beginnings of an idea of what motivated the man. He describes in detail the visions that Nat claimed to have had and the formations of the planned rebellion. Then, once the rebellion starts, Oates gives a moment by moment account. As I read it I found myself picturing what it must have looked and sounded like as it was happening. I felt real tension. Unfortunately, many facts about Nat Turner will simply never be known. The historical records just don't exist. Despite this, Stephen B. Oates has crafted an extraordinary biography. His work has brought us closer than ever to understanding who Nat Turner was and what he did.
