The War Between the States: America's Uncivil War
John J. Dwyer
Partial truths are more dangerous than open falsehoods, as error is more easily concealed and more difficult to uncover. The history of the Civil War taught in secondary schools is typically a partial truth that conceals more than it reveals. Dwyer corrects this error not by adopting a Southern point of view - though that view is rightly included - but with a magisterial account that comprehends both in a tragic story that most Americans have yet to confront.
--Donald Livingston,
professor of philosophy, Emory University
Dwyer makes a host of good points... It is a greatly useful work.
-- Clyde Wilson, Professor of History,
the University of South Carolina
Finally, the true story of the War Between the States, in one captivating volume. With more than 530 illustrations, nearly 100 biographical sketches, and his attention-grabbing style, John J. Dwyer has radically transformed the tedious, uninspiring textbook rendering of the War for Southern Independence into what it should be America's greatest epic. Respected historians George Grant, J. Steven Wilkins, Douglas Wilson, and Tom Spencer are contributing editors to the The War Between the States: America's Uncivil War, and over two dozen of renowned historical artist John Paul Strain's greatest works appear. The book offers 700 action-packed pages of war-time drama that will forever change the way Americans view the Civil War.
