Hymns of the Republic
by S.C. Gwynne
The fourth and final year of the Civil War was, by any measure, one of the greatest turning points in American history. By the spring of 1864, President Lincoln knew that decisive successes on the battlefield would be necessary for his reelection in the fall. Yet the war, stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to the lawless Missouri border, had entered a grinding, brutal stage in which the Confederat army continued to resist and frustrate the Union, at the cost of great bloodshed on both sides.
Popular history at it best, Hymns of the Republic is a thrilling, luminous read from one of the most talented historians of our time.
