Book Description:
|
The Civil War was one of the earliest examples of "total war," a conflict that involved not just professional armies but the whole population. It was also the first true industrial conflict, in which railroads, weapons technology, and mass production directly affected what happened on the battlefield. This book examines how the war and its economic demands changed the lives of millions of Americans on both sides of the conflict.
