Title: Could there please be 6 stars?
Product review: In a word, superb. In two words, a classic. Stampp's look into the North in the year preceding the Civil War is simply the best I've ever read. Detailed yet captivating, this well written work looks into the hearts and minds of one-half of a nation on the brink of civil war. Those of you whose Civil War research has extended little beyond Thomas DiLorenzo and the South-was-right crowd should read Stampp's book to learn how a real historian works. He never espouses a point of view and does not judge the actions of those who lived a century and a half ago from the political and philosophical basis of modern society.
