Mr. Lincoln Goes to War（ISBN=） 英文原版

　　This exciting work of groundbreaking history investigates the
mystery of how the Civil War began, reconsidering the big question:
Was it inevitable? Marvel vividly depicts President Lincoln’s first
year in office, from his inauguration through the rising crisis of
secession and the first several months of the war. Drawing on
original sources and examining previously overlooked factors,
Marvel leads the reader inexorably to the conclusion that Lincoln
not only missed opportunities to avoid war but actually fanned the
flames—and often acted unconstitutionally in prosecuting the war
once it had begun. The story unfolds with Marvel’s keen eye for the
telling detail, on the battlefield as well as in the White House.
This is revisionist history at its best and necessary reading for
Civil War and Lincoln devotees alike.

　　WILLIAM MARVEL is the author of Lee”s Last Retreat, A Place
Called Appomattox, Andersonville, and half a dozen other acclaimed
books on the Civil War. He has won a Lincoln Prize, a Douglas
Southall Freeman Award, and the Bell Award.
