Review:
"A broad-ranging portrait of America in a time of torment. . . . McDougall ventures that in the Civil War era something of the nation's essential nature came through: progressive yet conservative, pious yet sanguinary. Provocative and richly detailed--a welcome contribution to popular history."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
