"[A] comprehensive, essential volume ..[the] interviews are like keys to the many rooms of [Ginsberg's] expansive consciousness."San Francisco Chronicle"A provocative account of the closing weeks of America's greatest national trial ... This fast moving, well-written chronicle will highlight obscure aspects of the war and stimulate further controversy.""Booklist""Winik more than meets the tests of vigorous narrative and fresh analysis ... It is easy today to assume that the outcome of the Civil War was inevitable. But as Winik makes clear, no such certitude existed at the beginning of the fateful month of April 1865.""The Baltimore Sun"
