Product Description

Product Description

This new interpretation of the causes, course and consequences of America's greatest crisis combines a clear and compelling narrative with analysis and an up-to-date assessment of the state of Civil War scholarship. It explores the complex relationships between the local and national contexts, between the experiences of soldiers and civilians, and shows how politics and public opinion decisively shaped the meaning and outcome of the war.

5.0 out of 5 stars This guy was my lecturer at uni, 18 Mar 2008
This book is an insightful analysis into the causes and events of the American civil war. Interpretative rather than comprehensive, this is ideal for anyone seeking to understand the issues at the heart of the conflict.

Written by my former lecturer, this is more than an abstract academic text. It is highly readable and accessible for student, historian and enthusiast alike.
