A central thesis of the book is that slavery not only caused the Civil War by producing tensions that could not be resolved...

Great Book on an important aspect of American History

Roger Ransom is a genius. Very detailed explanation of the causes leading up to the civil war. If you just want to know about the battles, I would not recommend this to you. But if you want to read about what led to the civil war,I would definetly recommend this book.
