    About the Book:

    The Pulitzer Prize-winning Battle Cry of Freedom is without question the definitive one-volume
    history of the Civil War. James McPherson's fast-paced narrative fully integrates the political, social,
    and military events that crowded the two decades from the outbreak of one war in Mexico to the
    ending of another at Appomattox. Packed with drama and analytical insight, the book vividly
    recounts the momentous episodes that preceded the Civil War including the Dred Scott decision, the
    Lincoln-Douglas debates, John Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry. From there it moves into a masterful
    chronicle of the war itselfthe battles, the strategic maneuvering by each side, the politics, and the
    personalities. Particularly notable are McPherson's new views on such matters as the slavery
    expansion issue in the 1850s, the origins of the Republican Party, the causes of secession, internal
    dissent and anti-war opposition in the North and the South, and the reasons for the Union's victory.
