Review
"I found LIBERTY, EQUALITY, POWER to be a very well-written and sophisticated look at American history. ... The maps are superior, the best I've seen in any text. The prose/poetry on the coming of the Civil War and the Civil War is exceptional and would surely make the (it) come alive to students of the 21st century. Analysis of the large forces that shaped the...era is synthesized with excellent individual vignettes about the people...who faced those forces and challenges. For example, there is a splendid look at Abraham Lincoln for such a limited space."
"I like the title's implication of conflict and tension better than consensus-type titles...."
(Regarding Chapter 14) "The conflict between North and South that threatened to rip the nation apart is clearly revealed. There is an excellent analysis of the interplay between economic, social, political, cultural, and ideological factors that make the late 1850s such a tumultuous time. The story of "The Impending Crisis" has often been told, but seldom as well as it is here."
(Regarding Chapter 15) "Compared to (other texts), this text (even in the concise version) is far more detailed and nuanced on military history."
(Regarding Chapter 15) "The chapter does not make secession into a morality play.... Excellent analysis of the nitty-gritty aspects of war: tactics, why this was a "modern war," and the roles of the navies and diplomats in the war enrich the text."
