Title: The definitive look at America in the turbulent civil war era
Review: Just 100 pages in and I can't put it down, This author has done so far an excellent job of giving the reader a sense of the turbulent period in the years leading up to the civil war. The drama that arose with all the land essentially stolen from Mexico in 1848 and the struggle for north and south to claim this precious new territory as their own. The compromise of 1850 that just postponed the inevitable conflict to come. The violence that arose from the fugitive slave law especially in northern cities. Still another 800 to go but so far this has been one of the most information filled book I've read on the subject. Not surprising it is a Pulitzer Prize winning book.
