"Mark Brewer brings us back to those crucial years when Americans slaughtered one another. Using engaging vignettes, he takes us into the minds of figures such as Robert E. Lee, Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson, and John Wilkes Booth. These are not mere portrayals of historic figures, but examinations of very human characters full of flaws and nobility, struggling with momentous events."
