Edward Ayers gives us the Civil War on an intimate scale. His masterful narrative conveys the coming of war and its bloody encounters through the eyes of the newspaper editors, ministers, farmers, merchants, soldiers, African American slaves and freepersons, husbands and wives, fathers and sons, who sacrificed, fought, and died. The story ends in 1863 with the borderlands ravaged, Lincoln's support fragmenting, and Confederate forces massing for a battle at Gettysburg.
