The Civil War by Louis P Masur

The Civil War by Louis P Masur

One hundred and fifty years ago the Civil War began, and its hold on the American imagination has not abated since. This volume offers a concise history of the era, and serves as a necessary introduction to dramatic events that fundamentally reshaped the nation.

Masur's book, far shorter than most studies of the Civil War but a great deal more informative than many, is itself a striking reminder that size is not everything, in writing, as in war* S.M. Grant, War in History *
