SynopsisThe esteemed, Pulitzer Prize-Winning history of the Civil War that brings to vivid life, the generals, the presidents, the soldiers, politicians, Abolitionists, Southern fire-eaters, Northern barn-burners, Copperheads, and Know-Nothings. An instant classic, this is the single volume on the tragic war and its background that every historian--amateur or trained--will want to have on the shelf to read again and again.
This covers many aspects of both the military actions of the Civil War and the political trends of the nation during the war years. Maybe a bit too much time is spent on some topics, but overall a good choice for one single book to cover the topic.
