Struggle for a Vast Future: The American Civil War: A Selection of Essays (Companion)
"Twelve historians contributed essays to this superb, concise, and readable volume. Editor Sheehan-Dean (history, Univ. of North Florida) presents, in effect, a guide through the maze of differences between the North and South that culminated in the Civil War and reverberated thereafter...An enormous amount of history has here been condensed into a useful tool that will likely stimulate further debate and research. Students, Civil War enthusiasts, and others should find this excellent introductory text to be worth their while."  STARRED REVIEWLibrary Journal
