| Summary: | Presents eleven stories form these turbulent times that afford a better understanding of how the war unfolded and how it was fought. The stories range form the Union's delayed introduction of repeating arms and why a commercial steamer and not a warship was sent to relieve Fort Sumter to how Robert E. Lee's critical dispatch at the battle of Antietam may have been lost and whether William T. Sherman was the best choice to lead the Union's western offensive in 1864. |
