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 colorful 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.
A must for every one of America''s countless Civil War buffs, this
major work will stand as an important reference and enduring legacy
of a great historian for generations to come.
