Description
It was the greatest war in American history. It was waged in 10,000 places from Valverde, New Mexico, and Tullahoma, Tennessee, to St. Albans, Vermont, and Fernandina on the Florida coast. More than three million Americans fought in it and more than 600,000 men died in it. Not only the immensity of the cataclysm but the new weapons, the new standards of generalship, and the new strategies of destruction together with the birth of photography were to make the Civil War an event present ever since the American consciousness. Thousands of books have been written about it. Yet there has never been a history of the Civil War quite like this one.
