Publisher's Note
In this fascinating book, Davis gives readers everything they "need to know" about the Civil War - and not just the battles. With his deft wit and unconventional style, Davis sorts out the players, the politics, and the key events - Harpers Ferry, Shiloh, Gettysburg, Emancipation, Reconstruction. Drawing on the moving eyewitness accounts of the people who lived through the war, he brings the reader into the world of the ordinary men and women who made history - the human side of the story that the textbooks never tell. Don't Know Much About the Civil War explodes the myths and misconceptions about the war, its causes, and the men who fought on both sides. A brilliant crash course, it vividly brings to life such people as Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis, Generals Lee and Grant, and Admiral Farragut, Frederick Douglass, and Harriet Beecher Stowe. It looks behind the battles and the tactics to the astounding human misery the way brought upon a divided nation. Davis also highlights the critical - and often forgotten - roles played by African Americans before and during the war. He tells how American women worked, nursed, and even fought. And he makes readers look at modern America in a whole new light.
Industry reviews
Davis (Don't Know Much About Geography, LJ 9/15/92) states in this new addition to his series that too many Americans understand little or nothing about the Civil War. This may well be true, but his book is not necessarily the solution. On the plus side, Davis offers quotes from the participants of the war and includes chronologies. On the minus side, he takes a simplistic approach to the war's origins (there is nothing regarding the issue of tariffs, for example). He explodes some myths about the Civil War but perpetuates others. While his work does have some merit, a better choice like Curt Anders's Hearts in Conflict (LJ 5/1/94) would provide a superior introduction to the Civil War. Robert A. Curtis, Taylor Memorial P.L., Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio Breitman
