The Civil War Reader: 1862

James M. McPherson

4/5 ( ratings)

From blood-stained battlefields to smoke-filled antechambers of political power-brokers, 1862 was a year of tumultuous events in America. Flush from its victories of the previous year, the Confederacy stood poised and powerful -- tantalizingly close to sundering the shackles of the Union and establishing itself as a new and independent nation-state on the North American continent. The battles, political events, personalities, and innovative weapons of war are re-examined, and often illuminated with new analysis and information, by some of America's foremost historians and scholars including: James M. McPherson, Stephen W. Sears, Tom Wicker, Geoffrey Perret, and many more.

Language: English

Pages: 400
