"Does for the Civil War period what Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States did for the study of American history in general." -- Library Journal

Historian David Williams has written the first account of the American Civil War as viewed though the eyes of ordinary people -- foot soldiers, slaves, women, prisoners of war, draft resisters, Native Americans, and others. Richly illustrated with little-known anecdotes and firsthand testimony, this path-breaking narrative moves beyond presidents and generals to tell a new and powerful story about America's most destructive conflict.

A People's History of the Civil War is a "readable social history" that "sheds fascinating light" on this crucial period. In so doing, it recovers the long-overlooked perspectives and forgotten voices of one of the defining chapters of American history (Publishers Weekly).

"Meticulously researched and persuasively argued." -- The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
