In words that weave history into art, Catton has created a book about the coming of the Civil War that is at once a broad canvas and a revealing close-up. The book is conceived as classic tragedy; as a series of ever-narrowing circles of choice with fewer and fewer men to make them, enclosing, finally, but two men faced with almost no choice at all. A work informed by exhaustive scholarship, comprehensive in outlook, panoramic, yet intensely personal in expression. ; 9-1/2" Tall; 565 pages.
