About this audiobook
Historian David Williams has written the first account of the American Civil War as viewed though the eyes of ordinary people-foot soldiers, slaves, women, prisoners of war, draft resisters, Native Americans, and others. Richly illustrated with little-known anecdotes and firsthand testimony, this path-breaking narrative moves beyond presidents and generals to tell a new and powerful story about America's most destructive conflict.
