The Civil War
Product Description
Part Two Of Three Parts Millions are now familiar with historian Shelby Foote from recent PBS series -- opening up a new audience for this authoritative trilogy, THE CIVIL WAR. This first volume opens with Jefferson Davis' resignation from the Senate and Abraham Lincoln's departure from Springfield for the capitol. The author captures not only these two leaders but also scores of other personalities in a collage that makes THE CIVIL WAR a sort of multiple biography set against the crisis of an age. And the crisis is reflected in the great battles--Bull Run, Shiloh, Antietam -- while smaller engagements receive their full share of attention -- Ball's Bluff, Fort Donelson, New Orleans and the legendary engagement of the Monitor and the Merrimac.
