Opis

Takes readers back to the Civil War's centennial celebration to determine how Americans made sense of the suffering, loss, and liberation a century earlier. The author shows how four of America's most incisive writers - Robert Penn Warren, Bruce Catton, Edmund Wilson, and James Baldwin - explored the gulf between remembrance and reality.
