One year later, I left home to begin the demanding journey from civilian teenager to American soldier.

The Confederacy lost the war and won the memory. Its armies were destroyed, its claim to nationhood erased, and the idea those armies carried into the field outlived them all. In The Synthetic Cause, David Boles traces how a beaten cause captured the story of its own defeat.

The old machinery worked in bronze and marble and said out loud what it wanted. The machinery running now has learned to hide.

In seinen Visionen erschaute er unter anderem einen Dritten Weltkrieg, der offenbar durch eine furchtbare Aggression des radikalen Islam (vielleicht im Bündnis mit anderen despotischen Mächten) gegen den Westen ausgelöst wird. Dass er ein begnadeter Seher war, bewies Alois Irlmaier in seinem dramatischen Leben vielfach. Während des zweiten Weltkrieges konnte er beispielsweise auf paranormale Weise erkennen, ob vermisste Soldaten noch lebten oder tot waren, und in der Nachkriegszeit löste Irlmaier dank seiner Gabe eine ganze Reihe von Kriminalfällen, bei denen die Polizei im Dunklen tappte.
