Review
A needed and authoritative study of Civil War diplomacy . . . RICHMOND DISPATCH Although foreign intervention . . . might have changed the outcome of the Civil War, comparatively little has been written about the diplomacy of the war years. Dean Mahin's well-researched book makes an important contribution to the literature . . . . -"John M. Taylor, author of DUTY FAITHFULLY PERFORMED: ROBERT E.

From the Author
Unique features of "One War at a Time":
"One War at a Time" is the first comphrehensive review of British reactions to the American Civil War (including diplomacy, shipbuilding for the Confederacy, and blockade running), the first complete analysis since l925 of U.S.-British diplomatic relations during the war, and the first complete review of Abraham Lincoln's foreign policy. It rebuts the conventional wisdom of biographers that he had little interest in foreign affairs and played only a minor role in U.S. diplomacy. It focuses on Lincoln's sustained effort to maintain peace with England while hinting - in part through his axiom, "one war at a time" - that British recognition of Confederate independence could lead to a war between the United States and Britain after the end of the civil war.
