Sinossi:

From the first shots fired at Fort Sumter in 1861 to the final clashes on the Road to Appomattox in 1864, The Atlas of the Civil War reconstructs the battles of America’s bloodiest war with unparalleled clarity and precision. Edited by Pulitzer Prize recipient James M. McPherson and written by America’s leading military historians, this peerless reference charts the major campaigns and skirmishes of the Civil War. Each battle is meticulously plotted on one of 200 specially commissioned full-color maps. Timelines provide detailed, play-by-play maneuvers, and the accompanying text highlights the strategic aims and tactical considerations of the men in charge. Each of the battle, communications, and locator maps are cross-referenced to provide a comprehensive overview of the fighting as it swept across the country. With more than two hundred photographs and countless personal accounts that vividly describe the experiences of soldiers in the fields, The Atlas of the Civil War brings to life the human drama that pitted state against state and brother against brother.

Sinossi:

More than 140 years ago, Mark Twain observed that the Civil War had “uprooted institutions that were centuries old, changed the politics of a people, transformed the social life of half the country, and wrought so profoundly upon the entire national character that the influence cannot be measured short of two or three generations.” In fact, five generations have passed, and Americans are still trying to measure the influence of the immense fratricidal conflict that nearly tore the nation apart. In The War that Forged a Nation, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian James M. McPherson considers why the Civil War remains so deeply embedded in our national psyche and identity. The drama and tragedy of the war, from its scope and size-an estimated death toll of 750,000, far more than the rest of the country’s wars combined-to the nearly mythical individuals involved-Abraham Lincoln, Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson-help explain why the Civil War remains a topic of interest. But the legacy of the war extends far beyond historical interest or scholarly attention. Here, McPherson draws upon his work over the past fifty years to illuminate the war’s continuing resonance across many dimensions of American life. Touching upon themes that include the war’s causes and consequences; the naval war; slavery and its abolition; and Lincoln as commander in chief, McPherson ultimately proves the impossibility of understanding the issues of our own time unless we first understand their roots in the era of the Civil War. From racial inequality and conflict between the North and South to questions of state sovereignty or the role of government in social change-these issues, McPherson shows, are as salient and controversial today as they were in the 1860s. Thoughtful, provocative, and authoritative, The War that Forged a Nation looks anew at the reasons America’s civil war has remained a subject of intense interest for the past century and a half, and affirms the enduring relevance of the conflict for America today.

Sinossi:

Durante la guerra civile, Lincoln dovette affrontare problemi assai complessi. Commise, immancabilmente, degli errori ma da essi seppe imparare. E svolse al meglio le funzioni militari e politiche del comandante in capo: dominò il dibattito politico a Washington, definì una strategia di guerra per la nazione, contribuì alla scelta delle tattiche militari da applicare. Anche l’abolizione della schiavitù divenne un passaggio della strategia militare e politica di Lincoln. Il presidente si dimostrò anche in grado di far fronte alla trasformazione del conflitto: dal tradizionale bellicismo caratterizzato da obiettivi e mezzi limitati alla prima guerra totale della storia, che distrusse la vecchia Unione e ne costruì una nuova e migliore sulle sue ceneri.
