The Civil War: A Narrative: Volume 3: Red River to Appomattox

The Civil War: A Narrative: Volume 3: Red River to Appomattox (Vintage Civil War Library)

A decade in the writing, this is the final volume of what many critics have called â€œAmericaâ€™s Iliad.â€ Here Foote brings to life the military endgame, the surrender at Appomattox, and the tragic dÃ©nouement of the warâ€”the assassination of President Lincoln. Â â€œTo read this chronicle is an awesome and moving experience. History and literature are rarely so thoroughly combined as here; one finishes this volume convinced that no one need undertake this particular enterprise again.â€ â€”Newsweek Â â€œIn objectivity, in range, in mastery of detail, in beauty of language and feeling for the people involved, this work surpasses anything else on the subject. . . . Written in the tradition of the great historian-artistsâ€”Gibbon, Prescott, Napier, Freemanâ€”it stands alongside the work of the best of them.â€ â€”The New Republic Â â€œThe most written-about war in history has, with this completion of Shelby Footeâ€™s trilogy, been given the epic treatment it deserves.â€ â€”Providence Journal Â
