Description: "Marcus Junkelmann, an internationally renowned military historian, provides context and depth to his analysis of the Civil War with over 200 photographs, paintings, and illustrations, derived from the period... Of especial interest is the evenhanded treatment of the war's causes: the moral dimension of the African-American captivity and the economic interests that clothed themselves in fine-sounding ideals."--
