by Gary W. Gallagher (Author)
If one is to believe contemporary historians, the South never had a chance. This book explores not why the Confederacy collapsed so soon, but how it lasted so long. Using letters, diaries and newspapers of the day, it reveals the South's deep belief in their cause and expectations of victory.
