SECRET LIVES OF THE CIVIL WAR(ISBN=) 英文原版

　　The author of Secret Lives of the U.S. Presidents (100,000 in
print) and Secret Lives of the First Ladies (30,000 in print) is
back with another bizarre look at history’s most celebrated
personalities. With Secret Lives of the Civil War, Cormac O’Brien
unearths a host of strange, little-known facts about Abraham
Lincoln, Jefferson Davis, Ulysses S. Grant, Robert E. Lee, Thomas
“Stonewall” Jackson, and Harriet Tubman. He also introduces
lesser-known people who changed the fate of our country people
like:
　　Sarah Edmonds, who disguised herself as a man so she could fight
in the Battle of Bull Run (the Civil War had a surprising number of
women soldiers).
William Clarke Quantrill, a sociopath who fought in both armies,
mostly for the pleasure of shedding blood.
And of course, Officer Ambrose Burnside, whose unique “sideburns”
would later influence generations of Elvis Presley fans.

　　Cormac O’Brien is the author of Secret Lives of the U.S.
Presidents (Quirk, 2004) and Secret Lives of the First Ladies
(Quirk, 2005). He lives in Bloomfield, New Jersey.
