The acclaimed sweeping history of a nation at war with itself, told here for the first time by the people who lived it.

Historian David Williams has written the first account of the American Civil War as viewed though the eyes of ordinary people - foot soldiers, slaves, women, prisoners of war, draft resisters, Native Americans, and others. Richly illuminated with little-known anecdotes and firsthand testimony, this path-breaking narrative moves beyond presidents and generals to tell a new and powerful story about America's most destructive conflict.

there are minimal bits of what individual witnesses to the Civil War actually had to say. in reality this book is almost entirely an expression of the author's opinions

the title is exceedingly misleading
