Few historians have ever captured the drama, excitement, and
tragedy of the Civil War with the headlong elan of Edwin Bearss,
who has won a huge, devoted following with his extraordinary
battlefield tours and eloquent soliloquies about the heroes,
scoundrels, and little-known moments of a conflict that still
fascinates America. Antietam, Shiloh, Gettysburg: these hallowed
battles and more than a dozen more come alive as never before, rich
with human interest and colourful detail culled from a lifetime of
study. Illustrated with detailed maps and archival images, this
448-page volume presents a unique narrative of the Civil War's most
critical battles, translating Bearss' inimitable delivery into
print. As he guides readers from the first shots at Fort Sumter to
Gettysburg's bloody fields to the dignified surrender at
Appomattox, his engagingly plainspoken but expert account
demonstrates why he stands beside Shelby Foote, James McPherson,
and Ken Burns in the front rank of modern chroniclers of the Civil
War, as the Pulitzer Prize-winning McPherson himself points out in
his admiring Introduction.
