Charles Dew's Apostles of Disunion has established itself as a modern classic and an indispensable account of the Southern states' secession from the Union. Addressing topics still hotly debated more than a century and a half after the Civil War, the book offers a compelling and clearly substantiated argument that slavery and race were at the heart of America's great national crisis.
