"An excellent starting point for specialists and nonspecialists
alike who want to understand the very real challenges to the
Lincoln administration."--Sean Nalty, Virginia Quarterly Review

the central issues and characters."--Peter Knupfer, Journal of
Illinois History
"A fine narrative history."--Phillip Shaw Paludan, Journal of
Military History
"Perhaps the greatest contribution that this book will make is to
encourage historians to reevaluate their comfortable notion that
dissenters were marginal and that the 'peace wing' of the
Democratic Party not a real threat. Weber has rendered magnificent
service to Civil War historians by reminding us of that
fact."--Adam I.P. Smith American Historical Review
"Charts a new and exciting historiographical course."--The
Historian
