The American Civil War by Adam I P Smith
This new interpretation of the causes, course and consequences of America's greatest crisis explores the complex relationships between the local and national contexts, between the experiences of soldiers and civilians, and shows how politics and public opinion decisively shaped the meaning and outcome of the war.
'Smith's The American Civil War skillfully integrates political, economic, military and social history in a narrative format that should suit students and instructors alike' - Amy S.
