David Goldfield, "America Aflame: How the Civil War Created a Nation"
English | ISBN: 1596917024 | March 15, 2011 | EPUB/MOBI | 640 pages | 4 MB/4 MB
In this spellbinding new history, David Goldfield offers the first major new interpretation of the Civil War era since James M. McPherson's Battle Cry of Freedom. Where past scholars have limned the war as a triumph of freedom, Goldfield sees it as America's greatest failure: the result of a breakdown caused by the infusion of evangelical religion into the public sphere.
