Product Description

The author of "Secret Lives of the U.S. Presidents" and "Secret Lives of the First Ladies" returns with another bizarre look at history's most celebrated personalities. With "Secret Lives of the Civil War", Cormac O'Brien unearths a host of strange, little-known facts about Abraham Lincoln, Jefferson Davis, Ulysses S. Grant, Robert E. Lee, John Wilkes Booth, and Harriet Tubman. But you'll also learn about lesser-known personalities who changed the fate of the United States. It includes fascinating sidebars on a host of strange trivia (bizarre battles, Civil War medicine, etc.), 30 dazzling portraits by Monika Suteski, and a handful of gorgeously rendered maps. "Secret Lives of the Civil War" is a fascinating look at one of the strangest chapters in American history.
