About this title

Synopsis

An independent, contemporary history of the Civil War’s first year

This edition presents a candid, unvarnished look at the early days of the conflict, with a focus on truth, accountability, and the realities faced by both sides. Written in a direct, forthright voice, it aims to shed light on the events as they unfolded and to place the contemporary narrative in a broader historical context.

The author provides a plainspoken account of the war’s beginnings, including battlefield actions and political dynamics, while arguing for a fair and honest record of the era. The book is presented as a timely, if controversial, contribution to understanding how the first year shaped the long road of the war.
In this second edition, readers will find corrections, material annotations, and a supplementary chapter tracing developments from the end of the first year to the publication date. The author emphasizes independence, accuracy, and a fearless commitment to truth, even when the subject is heated or contested.

• A straightforward account of key events and campaigns from the war’s opening year
• Critical perspectives on leadership, policy, and public opinion during the early conflict
• Updates and annotations that reflect new insights and additional context

Ideal for readers of Civil War history who seek a direct, contemporary-style narrative that asks hard questions and aims to illuminate the complexities of the period. It’s a fit for those interested in how early war decisions shaped later events and public memory.
