Coffin once again lends his engaging style to focus on the critical third year of the American Civil War. Key military campaigns are detailed, including Wilderness, Cold Harbor, and the siege of Petersburg. Political and social aspects of the war are also examined, particularly the 1864 election, the Emancipation Proclamation, the impact on African Americans, and President Lincoln's efforts to both end slavery and hold the Union together.
Board corners dinged, spine head & tail rubbed, light foxing to a few interior pages.
