A Stupendous Effort: The 87th Indiana in the War of the Rebellion
The 87th Indiana Infantry was one of the Civil Wars most versatile regiments. It was good fighting pitched battles at the front line, good at building roads, railroads, and bridges in campaigns from Kentucky to North Carolina, and good at living off the country while marching through Georgia and the Carolinas. This is the story of that regiment, of its significant role in the remarkable campaigns and battles in the Western theater, and of the young men who formed its ten companies.Volunteers all, they were substantial citizens from six rural northern Indiana counties who in mid-1862 left families, farms, and businesses when two Confederate armies threatened to invade their state. Through their contemporary diaries and letters, many previously unpublished, we follow their wartime experiences, the most overpowering of which was the ferocious battle of Chickamauga.In those killing woodlands, the 87th Indiana established its bravery forever by standing steadfast with its brigade on three separate occasions, each time saving a significant part of the Union army. Recollections written soon afterward by survivors transport us into the nightmarish fighting at Chickamauga. Missionary Ridge, the running battles through Georgia to Atlanta, Sherman's legendary March to the Sea, and the avenging Union army's rampage through South Carolina, all are recounted as the men of the 87th experienced them. This is a social as well as a military history. While we are told about the wider war as it affects the 87th, we also learn about northern Indiana society in the mid-19th century and get a feel for what it meant to go Civil War soldiering. There is an appreciation, too, of how these rural Hoosiers had the remaining years of their lives marked by the singular experiences of this war - the supreme test of their lives, when their hearts were touched with fire..

Stupendous, Miserable City: Pasolini's Rome
John David Rhodes places the city of Rome at the center of this original and in-depth examination of the work of Italian director Pier Paolo Pasolini—but it’s not the classical Rome you imagine Stupendous, Miserable City situates Pasolini within the history of twentieth-century Roman urban development. The book focuses first on the Fascist period, when populations were moved out of the urban center and into public housing on the periphery of the city, called the borgate, and then turns to the progressive social housing experiments of the 1950s. These environments were the settings of most of Pasolini’s films of the early to mid-1960s. Discussing films such as Accattone, Mamma Roma, and The Hawks and the Sparrows, Rhodes shows how Pasolini used the borgate to critique Roman urban planning and neorealism and to draw attention to the contemptuous treatment of Rome’s poor. To Pasolini, the borgate, rich in human incident, linguistic difference, and squalor, “were life”—and now his passion can be appreciated fully for the first time. Carefully tracing Pasolini’s surprising engagement with this part of Rome and looking beyond his films to explore the interrelatedness of all of Pasolini’s artistic output in the 1950s and 1960s—including his poetry, fiction, and journalism—Rhodes opens up completely new ways of understanding Pasolini’s work and proves how connected Pasolini was to the political and social upheavals in Italy at the time. John David Rhodes is lecturer in literature and visual culture at the University of Sussex. .
