A People's History of the Civil War book: book Struggles For the Meaning of Freedom 593 pages, 6x9", paperback (30 oz) $19.95

New! From The New Press! An entire People's History series, edited by Howard Zinn! Here we have a big honkin' book, full of first-person accounts and extensively researched primary sources. Finally, collected in one place are in-depth accounts from the women, minorities, and the lower classes, whose stories are so often overlooked, especially in times of war. A winding journey beyond the rhetoric of black and white, north and south, it raises the bar for history texts to come.

 
Does for the Civil War what Howard Zinn 's A People's History of the United States did for the study of American history in general, providing alternative interpretations to counter balance traditional historical views. Highly recommended. Library Journal
