This re-creation of the Civil War by two American historians weaves together the diaries, the letters, the recorded words of generals and privates, politicians and homemakers, reporters and historians, poets and spies. These documents show how these tragic years were actually experienced by those involved, how the war remade the Union through a profound social upheaval, and they illuminate the deep, divisive issues which tore the United States apart.
