Description: "April 1865 was a month that could have unraveled the nation. Instead, it saved it. Here Jay Winik offers a new look at the Civil War's final days that will forever change the way we see the war's end and the nation's new beginning. Uniquely set within the larger sweep of history, filled with rich profiles of outsize figures, fresh iconoclastic scholarship, and a gripping narrative, this is a masterful account of the thirty most pivotal days in the life of the United States."--BOOK JACKET.
