In The Slaves War, the acclaimed historian Andrew Ward delivers
an unprecedented vision of the nations bloodiest conflict. Woven
together from hundreds of interviews, diaries, letters, and
memoirs, here is a groundbreaking and poignant narrative of the
CivilWar as seen from not only battlefields, capitals, and camps,
but from slave quarters, kitchens, roadsides, and fields as well.
Speaking in a quintessentially American language, body servants,
army cooks, runaways, and gravediggers bring the war to life. From
slaves theories about the causes of the CivilWar to their frank
assessments of such major figures as Lincoln, Davis, Lee, and
Grant; from their searing memories of the carnage of battle to
their often startling attitudes toward masters and liberators
alike; and from their initial jubilation at the Yankee invasion of
the South to the crushing disappointment of freedoms promise
unfulfilled, The Slaves War is a transformative and engrossing
chronicle of Americas Second Revolution.
