Fateful Lightning: A New History of the Civil War and Reconstruction
In Fateful Lightning, two-time Lincoln Prize-winning historian Allen C. Guelzo offers a marvelous portrait of the Civil War and its era, covering not only the major figures and epic battles, but also politics, religion, gender, race, diplomacy, and technology. And unlike other surveys of the Civil War era, it extends the reader's vista to include the postwar Reconstruction period and discusses the modern-day legacy of the Civil War in American literature and popular culture. Dr. Guelzo is the Henry R. Luce Professor of the Civil War Era, and Director of Civil War Era Studies at Gettysburg College. Some of his books include Abraham Lincoln: Redeemer President, Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation: The End of Slavery in America, and Lincoln and Douglas: The Debates That Defined America.

Freedom is, in truth, a sacred thing. There is only one thing else that better deserves the name: that is virtue. But then what is virtue if not for the free choice of what is good?
