American Presidents

About this book

The experience of the Civil War can only be understood when viewed from multiple perspectives. These four volumes contain the insights of the supreme commanders on both sides of the dividing line, the story of the rise and fall of the Confederate Nation from its most distinguished historian, and the classic account of camp life from a soldier in the Union Army. Taken together they present in wide angle and in sharp focus the cataclysm that tore the nation asunder. Included in this set Personal Memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant, Recollections and Letter of Robert E. Lee, From Manassas to Appomattox, and Hard Tack & Soldier’s life in the Civil War
