CHURCHILL : The American Civil War (fülszöveg)
THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR has stirred the imagination of many historians, not the least Sir Winston Churchill. His story of the conflict, written with a deep sympathy partly springing from his own family connection with this country, makes up some of the finest chapters in his great History of the English-Speaking Peoples. They are complete in themselves; a short and brilliant account of the disaster from Fort Sumter to Appomattox.
In addition, the Civil War was the first in which photographers played a great part. This volume presents sixty-four of the most striking photographs taken at the time by Brady and others. These contemporary pictures, combined with Churchill's superb writing, join to make one of the most distinguished volumes to mark the present centenary.
