Hardback. Condition: Good. A New York Times bestselling historian sheds new light on Sherman's epic March to the Sea, especially the soldiers, doctors, nurses, and civilians who would change the nation for the betterAmerica in the antebellum years was a deeply troubled country, divided by partisan gridlock and ideological warfare, angry voices in the streets and the statehouses, furious clashes over race and immigration, and a growing chasm between immense wealth and desperate poverty.The Civil War that followed brought America to the brink of self-destruction. But it also created a new country from the ruins of the old one-bolder and stronger than ever.
