Pressestimmen

"The crowning achievement of one of America's most distinguished military historians." --Lincoln Prize jury "Readers will find much to debate in this book--including ... its affirmation that, because of emancipation, 'the Civil War calls for a rethinking of the attitude ... that war is always futile, that its rewards never match its cost, that any conflict [must be] immediately decisive and virtually without loss of American lives.'" --Gary W. Gallagher
