About this product

Product Information

This first volume of Shelby Foote's classic narrative of the Civil War opens with Jefferson Davis's farewell to the United Senate and ends on the bloody battlefields of Antietam and Perryville, as the full, horrible scope of America's great war becomes clear. Exhaustively researched and masterfully written, Foote's epic account of the Civil War unfolds like a classic novel. Includes maps throughout. "Here, for a certainty, is one of the great historical narratives...a unique and brilliant achievement, one that must be firmly placed in the ranks of the masters."--Van Allen Bradley, Chicago Daily News "A stunning book full of color, life, character and a new atmosphere of the Civil War, and at the same time a narrative of unflagging power. Eloquent proof that an historian should be a writer above all else." --Burke Davis "To read this great narrative is to love the nation--to love it through the living knowledge of its mortal division. Whitman, who ultimately knew and loved the bravery and frailty of the soldiers, observed that the real Civil War would never be written and perhaps should not be. For me, Shelby Foote has written it.... This work was done to last forever." --James M. Cox, Southern Review

Great Book on Civil War History
I was not sure if I was going to like the writing style of Mr. Shelby Foote or if this book was going to be another thick and boring book but I have found this book and the way it's written to be very compelling. It's a thick book and does not lend to pictures and very many maps and filling drawings. Mr. Foote writes as he is telling you "down-to-earth" knowledge of the events of the time period centered around Abraham Lincoln, Jefferson Davis, and the lead-in to the beginning of the Civil War. If you have an intertest in the Civil War and not interested in a quick read, you will enjoy this book.

A detailed look into Confederate sausage from the view of the butcher.
It provides minute details of topics that are just skimmed in other publications. Foote digs deep into the subject matter and reveals information that takes years to uncover from multiple interviews and research.

Excellent on the subject matter. Likely second to none.
One of the best book series on the subject. Very interesting and thorough. It has words and phrases of the period but I like to learn as I read.... (that's the point I would think). Happy reading.

The Civil War: a Narrative Shelby Foote
From the outset I must confess that as of yet I have not read the entire three volume series. I fully intend to do so. My original purpose was to gain a more detailed knowledge of the engagement at Gettysburg prior to a visit there. Consequently, I started in the middle of his series, and fully acknowledge that doing so has some shortcomings. My choosing Foote to guide my understanding simply stems from my finding him to be the most credible authority in the Burns Civil War documentary. His writings do not suffer from the rewriting of history nearly as much as those of our current crop of revisionists whose aims are to bend history to comply with their own current politically correct agendas. Further, he had the advantage of having interviewed those who in their younger years listened to ... From the outset I must confess that as of yet I have not read the entire three volume series.

His writings do not suffer from the rewriting of history nearly as much as those of our current crop of revisionists whose aims are to bend history to comply with their own current politically correct agendas. Further, he had the advantage of having interviewed those who in their younger years listened to the actual participants in the conflict, who were also the people who could reflect on the facts and attitudes of the times. Packed with details and insights, it is a series which definitely deserves space on any Civil War historian's bookshelf.
