Woven together here are the diaries, letters, recorded words of generals and privates, politicians and housewives, reporters and historians, poets and spies. Through the eyes of the men and women who fought and lived it is the story of the bloodiest civil war the world had yet known, brilliantly presented to show how the tragic years were actually experienced, how the war remade the Union in a profound social upheaval, and the deep, divisive issues which were, in the end, left unresolved.
