Attention is paid to the social aspects of the war and includes a presentation of what was happening on the home front while the war was going on.

This Terrible War, Second Edition
Michael Fellman, Lesley J. Gordon, and Daniel E. Sutherland
I find This Terrible War to have a superior mix of military, social, economic, and political coverage. Indeed, the book is so well written and organized that I no longer believe that I have to cover a bit of everything in my lectures. The text can introduce students to aspects of the war without my having to worry that its coverage is incomplete. --John Fowler, Kennesaw State University
Absorbing and accessible, This Terrible War examines the American Civil War and its aftermath by exploring the central themes and events of the period and challenging many traditional views about the war that nearly tore the country in two. Beyond the battlefield, the authors devote attention to the home front, social issues, and economics from antebellum times to Reconstruction, with a wide range of personal stories ―from Generals to common soldiers.
