Craven Prize, the Trilling Prize, and nominated for the National Book Award, this definitive study of the aftermath of the Civil War has been abridged and streamlined for the general reader.
I purchased this book for a history book club I attend. It is an abridged edition and I believe it to be well done in that regard. The content is specific to reconstruction after the Civil War, and eye-opening to the Andrew Johnson presidency as well as that period in history. I recommend the book to everyone interested in American history.
