Synopsis
On the eve of the American Civil War, the old predatory powers of Europe were waiting to capitalize on the split in the Union. President Lincoln had to prevent foreign governments from giving official recognition to the Confederacy. Jay Monaghan shows how the underestimated, “rustic” president dealt with diplomats both in this country and abroad—and also with contentious politicians and cabinet members.

About the Author
Jay Monaghan’s other books include Civil War on the Western Border, 1854–1865 and Custer: The Life of General George Armstrong Custer, both available as Bison Books. Howard Jones is University Research Professor in history at the University of Alabama and author of Union in Peril: The Crisis over British Intervention in the Civil War (Nebraska 1997).
Reviews
One aspect of the Civil War that is often overlooked is the rest of the world's impression of it. Here, Monaghan details how Lincoln dealt with foreign powers to prevent them from recognizing the Confederacy as a legitimate government. This is the only paperback of the 1945 original currently available.
