Book Synopsis
An accessibly written and dramatic account of Alabama's role in the US Civil War. John S. Sledge provides a long overdue and riveting narrative of Alabama's wartime saga. Focused on the conflict's turning points within the state's borders, this book charts residents' experiences from secession's heady early days to its tumultuous end.

Trade Review
If all politics is local then history is more so, and that holds true for the story John Sledge has told here. It is personal and intimate (and unusually moving), as well as enormously edifying, well written, and revealing; I couldn't stop reading it! Bravo!"" - Ken Burns, Emmy Award-winning producer and director of The Civil War

""A fresh look at the Civil War in Alabama that thoroughly covers the topic in a way that only John Sledge can. Anyone who grew up in the South, who has an interest in the Civil War, will immediately relate."" - Robert Bradley, former chief curator at the Alabama Department of Archives and History
