Why the Confederacy Lost

ISBN: 9780195085495 出版年：1993 页码：222 Oxford University Press

In this provocative volume, Gabor S. Boritt brings together five of today's premier Civil War historians--James McPherson, Archer Jones, Gary Gallagher, Reed Mitchell, and Joseph Glatthaar-- to reveal how battlefield decisions shaped the very forces--social, economic, and political--that many scholars claim determined the outcome of the war. Persuasviely argued and engagingly written, this work reminds us that the hard-won triumph of the North was far from inevitable.
