What tears a nation apart? In his Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece, James M. McPherson answers this question in the definitive account of the American Civil War. From the smoldering political debates over slavery to the thunderous cannons at Gettysburg, Battle Cry of Freedom is a gripping narrative of a nation at war with itself. It is the epic story of how the United States was nearly destroyed in a bloody conflict over freedom—and how it was ultimately, and forever, reborn.
