This Hallowed Ground by Bruce Catton

This Hallowed Ground by Bruce Catton

A perfect introduction and "the best single-volume treatment of the Civil War" (Chicago Sun-Times) that capturesthe dramatic scope and intimate experience of that epic struggle from thePulitzer Prize-winning author of the Army of the Potomac Trilogy.

Covering events from the prelude of the conflict to the death of Lincoln, Bruce Catton blends a gripping narrative with deep, yet unassuming, scholarship to bring the war alive on the page in an almost novelistic way. It is this gift for narrative that led contemporary critics to compare this book to War and Peace, and call it a "modern Iliad." Now over fifty years old, This Hallowed Ground remains one of the best-loved and admired general Civil War books- a perfect introduction to readers beginning their exploration of the conflict, as well as a thrilling analysis and reimagining of its events for experienced students of the war.

Includes maps.

Bruce Catton was an American Heritage magazine editor, a Civil War historian, and a journalist.
