And youre watching booktv on cspan2. Heres our primetime lineup for tonight. That all happens tonight on cspan2s booktv. Up next on booktv, after words, with guest host james swanson, author and urged fellow. This week James Mcpherson and his latest book embattled rebel Jefferson Davis as commander in chief. Into the acclaimed historian presents confederate president Jefferson Davis as an astute military strategist whose failures, he argues, are not the reason the confederacy lost the civil war. This program is about one hour. Host jim, lets start at the beginning. Its november 1860, the republicans won the election but lincoln is president elect. Who is Jefferson Davis in the fall of 1860 . Guest to Jefferson Davis and the fall of 1860 is a senator from mississippi. He has served in that capacity off and on for about eight years, interrupted in the middle 1850s by for years as secretary of war under president franklin pierce. He was one of the most prominent of the southern senators.
West. We cannot live without one another and yet our nationalistic ideologies encourage us to focus too narrowly on the nation and that is particularly true in the middle east where the nationstates set up by the british and the french 100 years ago were arbitrary, bizarre and put together a whole lot of incompatible peoples and told them to create a nation. Very difficult to do. All this set up to fail. And also they are modern and very successful in their economic handling of all the oil that they have been acquiring from their travels. I wish i knew. I got into this, this skyped of kind of study not because i am filled with religious affilation but because i am filled with dread as i look at where we are going. There is an even in our circle tolerance western world there is a lot of bigotry that reminds me of the bigotry in europe in the 1930s and 40s that ended in the concentration camps. And i feel terribly we are not going back to Community Fear and we are into our cell phones, c

I think our Principal Task is likely involved in trading the army and developing the capacity of the army to ensure that the armeded forces are balanced, credible and as non sectarian as can be. The army was a sunni army. Had been undermined by corruption and appointing by then Prime Minister and building something that has more substance, that is more balanced and trusted across the communities is clearly the aim.

Last. Two back of the playoff. Stenson one out of the playoff. And we are headed to just the second playoff in the 15year history of this event. Previous one coming back in 12 when luke donald won a fourman playoff. With a birdie on the first extra hole. So theyre going to go back to the 18th if it doesnt get settled there, back to the beginning of the snake pit. What a performance down the stretch for Jordan Spieth. Little did we know when we got to the golf course today what was in store. The final round of the valspar championship. What a finish. Reed first of all birdied the 18th. One of four birdies on the back nine. Five birdies, no bogeys for him. He finishes with a 66. Ohair had the great par at 18. And spieth just kept pulling rabbits out of the hat all day long especially down the stretch. There is sean ohair in what is the biggest day in a long long time in his career. Talking about it all week. How he lost all the confidence the swing in his game and yet here he is with a c
