The Confederate Nation: 1861–1865

“Incisive and insightful. . . . As good a short history of the Southern war effort as we have.” —T. Harry Williams, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Lincoln and His Generals

Thomas, renowned for his illuminating biographies of Robert E. Lee and other Southern generals, here delivers the definitive account of the political and military events that shook the nation during its period of greatest turmoil.

“A serious, scholarly, readable work.” —C. Vann Woodward, The New Republic
“One of America’s most eminent Civil War historians.” —Richmond Times-Dispatch
