Confederate Nation 1861-1865

We have for years needed a serious, scholarly, readable work on the Confederate nation that rounds up modem scholarship and offers a fresh and detached view of the whole subject. This work fills that order admirably ... [Thomas] sensibly and deftly integrates the course of Southern military fortunes with the concerns that shaped them and were shaped by them. In doing so he also manages to convey a sense of how the war itself deteriorated from something spirited and gallant to something base and mean and modern on both sides.Thomas, Emory M. is the author of 'Confederate Nation 1861-1865', published 1981 under ISBN 9780061319655 and ISBN 0061319651.
