Reviews"A contribution of prime importance to the reviving study of theReconstruction period. Among its merits are its originality in reshaping oldproblems, its imaginative use of analogy and comparative history, and itsdisciplined respect for the chronological order of events, ideas, hopes, anddespairs....These merits along with others should win a warm reception for thisbook."--C. Vann Woodward, The New York Times Book Review, "A contribution of prime importance to the reviving study of the Reconstruction period.

Dewey Decimal973.81
SynopsisAn essential work on the Civil War period, this classic of Reconstruction scholarship challenges the longstanding myth of Andrew Johnson as misunderstood statesman, revealing him as a small-minded, vindictive, and stubborn man, whose rigid determination to defy Northern majority opinion thwarted the post-war reunion of North and South.

Terrible Author
Written in old English, you would think you were reading Macbeth. As a result, hard to read and comprehend. I would not recommend books by this author!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
