"Extraordinary, imaginatively compiled, and beautifully edited...
If there is a richer evocation of those terrible times, I have not
seen it."
GEOFFREY C. WARD, co author of "The Civil War" and author of "A
First-Class Temperament"
"A profound portrait of a nation in crisis... It will forever
deepen the way you see this central chapter in our history. And
while this is only the inaugural installment in the series, it does
not seem the least bit rash to call this collage of testimony a
masterpiece."
MALCOLM JONES, "Newsweek"
"[An] engaging historical narrative... Goes a long way toward
answering questions that posterity has debated about the Civil War
during the past 150 years."
DANIEL WALKER HOWE, "Bookforum"
