The Whirlwind of War builds on the great themes and follows many of
the important figures who were introduced in The Approaching Fury.
Stephen B. Oates's riveting narrative brings to life the complex
and destructive war that is the central event in American history.
He writes in the first person, assuming the viewpoints of several
of the principal figures: the rival presidents, Abraham Lincoln and
Jefferson Davis; the rival generals, Robert E. Lee, Ulysses S.
Grant, and William Tecumseh Sherman; the great black abolitionist,
editor, and orator, Frederick Douglass; the young Union battlefield
nurse, Cornelia Hancock; the brilliant head of the Chicago Sanitary
Commission and cocreator of the northern Sanitary Fair, Mary
Livermore; the Confederate socialite and political insider, Mary
Boykin Chesnut; the assassin, John Wilkes Booth; and the greatest
poet of the era, Walt Whitman, who speaks in the coda about the
meaning of war and Lincoln's death.
