A profound and timely examination of the moral underpinnings of the
War Between the States
The Civil War was not only a war of armies but also a war of
ideas, in which Union and Confederacy alike identified itself as a
moral nation with God on its side. In this watershed book, Harry S.
Stout measures the gap between those claims and the war's actual
conduct. Ranging from the home front to the trenches and drawing on
a wealth of contemporary documents, Stout explores the lethal mix
of propaganda and ideology that came to justify slaughter on and
off the battlefield. At a time when our country is once again at
war, "Upon the Altar of the Nation" is a deeply necessary book.
