Returning to the turbulent days of a nation divided, bestselling author and acclaimed historian James Robertson explores seventy fascinating figures who shaped America during Reconstruction and beyond.

Relentless politicians, intrepid fighters, cunning innovators—the times called for bold moves, and this resilient generation would not disappoint. From William Tecumseh Sherman, a fierce leader who would revolutionize modern warfare, to Thomas Nast, whose undefeatable weapon was his stirring cartoons, these are the people who weathered the turmoil to see a nation reborn.

Following these extraordinary legends from the battle lines to the White House, from budding metropolises to the wooly west, we rediscover the foundation of this great country.

    Interesting Back Story to the War

    I had just read some other books about the Civil War, which made me curious about this book. I found it fascinating. These mini-biographies of some seventy people involved in the Civil War tell interesting details about many people I had never heard of, as well as well-known personages. It is perfect for giving one some back story and an overall look at the war and its ramifications into many different areas of life. I liked that it did not focus on specific battles or political maneuvering, which are so one-sided, but instead looked at the people themselves, with pertinent details about their lives and their connection to the war. Barry Press’ narration is excellent.
