If you read only one book on the American Civil War, make it this one.
This book was commissioned as part of the Oxford History of the United States and won the Pulitzer Prize for History for its author. And for very good reasons, this book is the single best volume on this tragic but perhaps necessary event in American history.
To understand the War of the Rebellion, as Lincoln called it, you need to go back further than April 1861 and the firing on Fort Sumter. You need to understand the causes of the war and the many political compromises that tried to solve the problems in American society and why they failed. And this outstanding book takes you there.
