Reviews
"Most students of American history remember John Pope only as one of several mismatched Union commanders decisively defeated by Robert E. Lee, and so he was at Second Bull Run in 1862. But Cozzens shows in this finely balanced biography that there was more to Pope's life. He reintroduces readers to a talented man with big strengths and big weaknesses whose ambition and overbearing personality were his worst enemies." -- Choice "Best and most complete Pope biography to date. . . . Although the present volume provides a balanced coverage of Pope's entire life, of most interest is the analysis of his role at Second Manassas. . . . An especially valuable addition to every Civil War enthusiast's bookshelf." -- Robert Wooster, Journal of Southern History "One of the great military men of American history is sensitively but candidly portrayed here, from his famous defeat at the Battle of Bull Run to his subsequent successful campaigns in the West and his advocacy for the humane treatment of Indians." -- Forecast "Cozzens, a talented and prolific writer, has finally provided a balanced view of Pope's life and long military career. . . . Scrupulously researched . . . this book is an important addition to the body of Civil War literature." -- Eric Wittenberg, Civil War News "A distinguished entree into the crowded library of Civil War literature." -- Stephen E. Towne, Indiana Magazine of History "A finely nuanced portrait of a controversial officer. Using abundant primary sources, Cozzens submits the first dispassionate account of Pope's accomplished career and challenges traditional assumptions concerning his capacity for leadership." -- Ray Brown, Civil War History "Cozzens examined an impressive body of evidence in writing what is easily the best and most detailed biography of Pope. Moving well beyond common caricatures of Pope as a vainglorious failure, Cozzens deals effectively with the intensely political context within which his subject, a rare Republican among top Northern military leaders, operated in Virginia. . . . With this biography, Cozzens has closed one of the few gaps in the military historiography of the Civil War." -- Virginia Quarterly Review "In this exhautively researched and well-written volume, [Cozzens] examines the career of one of the most enigmatic figures of that era." -- Lowell H. Harrison, Journal of Illinois History "Thorough, well-balanced, and exhaustively researched. . . . The full story as Cozzens presents it gives depth, texture, and context to a man mainly remembered today for one lost battle." -- Stephen Currie, American History ADVANCE PRAISE "No major army commander of the Union has been as much misunderstood and unknown as General John Pope. For over a century his career has lived in the realm of cliches and apocryphal jokes. Peter Cozzens discovers a full man, with great strengths and great weaknesses, in one of the most important and needed military biographies in a generation. This is certainly Cozzens's finest book yet." -- William C. Davis

Synopsis
A groundbreaking study of an undeservedly long-neglected and misunderstood player in American history, restoring his reputation as a military leader--and in the process re-examining the military and federal leadership during the Second Bull Run campaign., One of the great military men of American history is sensitively but candidly portrayed here, from his famous defeat at the Battle of Bull Run to his subsequent successful campaigns in the West and his advocacy for the humane treatment of Indians., The alarming consequences of eco-crime go far beyond the widespread degradation of the natural world; important societal institutions are undermined and negative social and economic impacts also result from garbage trafficking, wildlife trafficking, illegal fishing, and illegal logging. In order to successfully combat these problems, a consistent, international response will be necessary. Crimes Against Nature: Illegal Industries and the Global Environment addresses an important topic that is largely unknown and rarely documented other than in reports published by environmental NGOs and a limited number of academic articles and journalistic accounts. A comprehensive and up-to-date description of each illicit industry is provided, emphasizing the damages caused, the transnational nature of these activities, the roles played by organized crime and public and private elites, and the range of possible solutions. The author addresses the complexity of balancing human concerns with environmental interests and concludes with information regarding promising recent developments.

    As of the time of this review in 2025, I ordered and received a 2003 Lexus Owners Manual with leather jacket in pristine condition (even better than described :-), at a reasonable and competitive price, in a timely manner and well packaged. In addition, despite errors on my end, as buyer, I received prompt, friendly, professional and timely customer service from the seller, rectifying my error without complaint or taking advantage of me! 10 out of 10 stars!

    Got the parts and finally got around to installing them today. One of them is broken out of the box and they are not exactly the correct color but I thought they were the correct color when i ordered they were described as grey but not. I have included 2 pictures to show color difference and the broken part, with this part broken it will not stay in place. The original is on the right in both pictures. Parts arrived quickly and packaged well. I just delayed opening the box and installing.
