Crisis of the House Divided: An Interpretation of the Issues in the Lincoln-Douglas Debates, 50th Anniversary Edition
from University Of Chicago Press
Price: $15.19

Customer Review:

Harry Jaffa's Crisis of the House Divided is a tour de force in Lincoln scholarship. Indeed, it is the best tome on Lincoln that has ever been written -- except, perhaps, for Jaffa's sequel to Crisis, A New Birth of Freedom. Crisis is more than an interpretation of an event in American political... more info

from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $12.62

Customer Review:

A mediocre read, this author did a fair and to average job in explaining the New York "Draft" Riots, and does at least hit the mark on the fact they were about far more than the draft. This book is somewhat mixed up organizationally; it is also repetitive. I agree with one other reviewer, that the... more info

Why the South Lost the Civil War
from University of Georgia Press
Price: $5.59

Customer Review:

If you are looking for an entertaining book on the American Civil War - this isn't it. The book is very wordy and at times difficult reading. I am saying this as someone who has read hundreds of books on this important era in American history.
However, this book explains in detail many of the... more info
