In this richly researched and dramatic work of military history, eminent historian Richard Slotkin recounts one of the Civil War’s most pivotal events: the Battle of the Crater on July 30, 1864. At first glance, the Union’s plan seemed brilliant: A regiment of miners would burrow beneath a Confederate fort, pack the tunnel with explosives, and blow a hole in the enemy lines. Then a specially trained division of African American infantry would spearhead a powerful assault to exploit the breach created by the explosion. Thus, in one decisive action, the Union would marshal its mastery of technology and resources, as well as demonstrate the superior morale generated by the Army of the Potomac’s embrace of emancipation. At stake was the chance to drive General Robert E. Lee’s Army of North Virginia away from the defense of the Confederate capital of Richmond–and end the war. The result was something far different. The attack was hamstrung by incompetent leadership and political infighting in the Union command. The massive explosion ripped open an immense crater, which became a death trap for troops that tried to pass through it. Thousands of soldiers on both sides lost their lives in savage trench warfare that prefigured the brutal combat of World War I. But the fighting here was intensified by racial hatred, with cries on both sides of “No quarter!” In a final horror, the battle ended with the massacre of wounded or surrendering Black troops by the Rebels–and by some of their White comrades in arms. The great attack ended in bloody failure, and the war would be prolonged for another year. With gripping and unforgettable depictions of battle and detailed character portraits of soldiers and statesmen, No Quarter compellingly re-creates in human scale an event epic in scope and mind-boggling in its cost of life. In using the Battle of the Crater as a lens through which to focus the political and social ramifications of the Civil War–particularly the racial tensions on both sides of the struggle–Richard Slotkin brings to readers a fresh perspective on perhaps the most consequential period in American history. From the Hardcover edition.

No Quarter Asked


$4.99


Janet Dailey wrote her first novel, No Quarter Asked in 1974 after her husband, Bill, urged her to back up her claim that she could write a better romance novel than the ones she had read. The book was accepted by Harlequin, which made her the category romance giant’s first American author. She eventually wrote a total of 57 novels for Harlequin, including one set in every state of the Union. These later became known as “The Janet Dailey Americana Series.” The Daileys were instrumental in forming the Silhouette romance fiction line, for which Janet wrote 12 more titles before entering the mass market field in 1979 with Touch the Wind, which marked her debut on the New York Times best seller list. No Quarter Asked is the first of the Cord & Stacy Series which includes No Quarter Asked (1974), Fiesta San Antonio (1977) and For Bitter or Worse (1978).

HDFC bank beat SBI

HDFC Beats SBI in Market Capitalisation. But if we look at balance

sheet of both banks, then SBI is five times bigger than HDFC Bank.

SBI is Government bank and if we looking for any loans and accounts,

First word comes in our mind is SBI and second is HDFC. HDFC Bank built

on the lineage of its parent— Housing Development Finance Corporation

An SBI may statement massive profits one quarter and hardly rub though in the next, but not HDFC Bank. As noted by First post,

“in the last 26 quarters, net profit growth has never fallen below 30

%. The average for the quarters is 34.2 %, and in the latest quarter the

net profit growth is 31.4 %.”

No one barring the number crunchers knows the secret of this

consistency. At some level, it probably means the bank’s accountants

massage the numbers at the margin to retain earnings predictability for

investors. The bottomline is that the bank’s bottom-line is made of

cast-iron: its net profits have been compounding at nearly 30 percent

for the past five years. This is why we have called it the best annuity

scheme in the share markets. calculate loan emi's both of the banks with

emi calculator

HDFC bank was set up in 1994; it has had only one boss Aditya Puri,

who remains its managing director. The SBI, in the same period, has had

around 10 bosses. The only SBI chief who had a decent stint was the

previous incumbent, OP Bhatt (who got five years), and for most of his

tenure the bank was indeed riding high.
