Résumé
Examines how Americans became involved in civil war, what they expected to gain from it, and their understanding about what they had done. Royster contends that generals on both sides envisioned the total destruction of their opponent from the beginning,… contrary to the limited-conflict version sometimes advanced by historians. Winner of the Bancroft Prize. 1991.
