This book was written by Bruce Catton, published in 1956, the narrative is 400 pages and is not illustrated. The classic one volume history of the American Civil War simultaneously captures the dramatic scope and intimate experience of that epic struggle, by Pulitzer prize winner Bruce Catton. Covering events from the prelude of the conflict to the death of Lincoln, Catton blends a gripping narrative with deep, yet unassuming, scholarship to bring the war alive on the page in an almost novelistic way. It is this gift for narrative that led contemporary critics to compare this book to War and Peace, and call it a "modern iliad." Now over fifty years old, This Hallowed Ground remains one of the best loved and admired general Civil War books. It is a perfect introduction to readers beginning their exploration of the conflict, as well as a thrilling analysis and reimagining of its events for experienced students of the war. This hard back book is in good condition, but does not have a dust jacket.
