Excellent Analysis

For anyone interested in the various factors leading to the American Civil War. Not surprisingly the conflict simmered for a number of decades in different forms. Robert Goldston is a thorough, but readable author. This book is written for grades 9-12 and through college. My son read Goldston's "The Life and Death of Nazi Germany" and found it fascinating. We then looked for other books by the same author.

great book

Upon seeing Ken Burns' Civil War documentary series, I was left with some questions as to why the situation deteriorated to war so quickly. This book answered all my questions and more with a concise history of the economic, social, and ideological differences between the regions and their underlying reasons from the revolutionary years through to the eve of war.Excellent reading for anyone who wants to know more about the causes of the American Civil War!
